FORWARD SPIN
</hdr><body>
<p>By Jancie Castro/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p>WOMEN'S WORK
</p>
<p> Contributions are pouring in to groups that support female
candidates. A new Republican organization, WISH List (the
acronym spells its purpose: Women in the Senate and House), has
raised $100,000 in six weeks. Next: the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
List.
</p>
<p>MR. MOM BLUES
</p>
<p> Publishers have discovered a new market--how-to-books
for men coping with household tasks. Joining volumes on how to
cook and how to fold and clean clothes is the new First Men's
Guide to Ironing. What's next? How to Pick Up Your Socks?
</p>
<p>CAMPAIGN CALENDAR
</p>
<p> Super Tuesday marks the 116th anniversary of another
election-year event: on March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell
made the first telephone call. It's a good day to send a
message.
</p>
<p>ON-LINE, OFF-PLANET
</p>
<p> When he isn't fielding calls to his 800 line, Jerry Brown
communicates with potential voters on-line, thanks to his new
CompuServe computer link. Hmm...are the Michelangelo and
Friday the 13th viruses political plots?
</p>
<p>MODERN ROMANCE
</p>
<p> When video dating leads to the altar, hip friends give the
happy pair Fighting to Save Your Marriage, a two-part video
series that depicts couples battling. Maybe it's better to fight
than switch. If not, try Judge Wapner.
</p>
<p>TITLE FATIGUE
</p>
<p> Hollywood is stuck on sentences as movie titles. Honey, I
Shrunk the Kids and Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead have
given way to This Is My Life, I Don't Buy Kisses Anymore and
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. Coming soon: We're Back and Death
Becomes Her. Expect overburdened multiplex marquees to resort
to alphabet-soup abbreviations.
