<p>TELEVISION
</p>
<p> THE GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS (TBS, Jan. 28, 11:05 p.m. EST).
Morning-line favorites for Oscar nominations vie for statuettes
as the annual awards-show binge begins.
</p>
<p> HOME FIRES BURNING (CBS, Jan. 29, 9 p.m. EST). A small-town
Southern family sees its comfortable life changed by World War
II. Barnard Hughes and Sada Thompson star in this Hallmark Hall
of Fame drama.
</p>
<p> ETHICS IN AMERICA (PBS, starting Jan. 31, 10 p.m. on most
stations). What is an individual's responsibility to the
homeless? How far can lawyers go in defending a client? These
and other knotty questions will be probed in a ten-week series
of free-form debates, introduced by Fred Friendly.
</p>
<p>BOOKS
</p>
<p> INCLINE OUR HEARTS by A.N. Wilson (Viking; $17.95). A London
child is orphaned by German bombs during World War II and sent
to live with relatives in the English countryside. What follows
is a seriocomic autobiographical novel about coming of age in
an age deucedly difficult to understand.
</p>
<p> HONG KONG by Jan Morris (Random House; $19.95). The
indefatigable traveler and perceptive commentator conveys the
sights, sounds, aromas and political significance of this
thriving British colony, scheduled to be returned to China in
1997.
</p>
<p> AMERICAN APPETITES by Joyce Carol Oates (Dutton; $18.95). A
prolific author's powerful novel about a well-to-do married
couple falling before an unearned fate.
</p>
<p>THEATER
</p>
<p> A CHORUS OF DISAPPROVAL. Alan Ayckbourn, known as Britain's
Neil Simon for his send-ups of suburbia, is at his shrewdest in
this backstage tale of amateur theatricals, at Washington's
Arena Stage.
</p>
<p> THE PIANO LESSON. This stunning work by dramatist August
Wilson, at Chicago's Goodman Theater, combines the emotional
clout of his Pulitzer-prizewinning Fences with the lyricism of
his Joe Turner's Come and Gone.
</p>
<p>MOVIES
</p>
<p> THE JANUARY MAN. Not a conventional whodunit. The mysteries
in this spitball comedy are matters of the eccentric heart: How
will a New York City fireman (Kevin Kline) win back his
ex-girlfriend (Susan Sarandon) or find accommodating love with
the mayor's daughter (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio)? John
Patrick Shanley, whose luminous script for Moonstruck won an
Oscar, scores again here.
</p>
<p> DANGEROUS LIAISONS. What deadly games people play in this
excellent gloss on Christopher Hampton's play. John Malkovich
and Glenn Close are the decadent puppeteers of lust who
realize, too late, that the job comes with fatal strings
attached.
