          WOMEN'S PROFILE: In N.Y., Robin Pogrebin examined the
     influx of new women's sports publications in Sunday's N.Y.
     TIMES.  Pogrebin: "Editors of the new magazines trumpet
     their publications as a refreshing change from business as
     usual -- even, on a grander level, political progress.  But
     far from advancing some brave new vision for women in the
     21st century, the industry experts say, the new sports
     magazines have simply identified a potentially lucrative
     market and are hoping to cash in" (N.Y. TIMES, 9/21).
