" SEX ADVICE How to Say No Woman Calls Man is &amp;quot;a relatively  new development in relations  between the sexes.&amp;quot; Here&amp;#039;s how to rebuff the most aggressive lady:  &amp;amp;gt; &amp;quot;One friend deftly deflects  suitors by casually mentioning  enough allergies and eccentricities  that the poor caller ends up feeling  relieved at being rejected.&amp;quot;  &amp;amp;gt; &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t sound too disappointed at not being free (&amp;#039;Gosh, darn, I&amp;#039;d really like to, but I&amp;#039;ve had these plans forever&amp;#039;), lest you elicit an unwanted counterproposal.&amp;quot;  &amp;amp;gt; Sometimes you have to be blunt: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think it makes sense for the two of us to see each other.&amp;quot;  How It Holds Up: More useful than ever, what with these aggressive Sex and the City-inspired women. FITNESS The Pogo Stick  &amp;quot;Bounding over the border from plaything to potential adult knee-rehab tool, the Jetstar pogo stick scored well with trainers and exercise physiologists.&amp;quot; How It Holds Up: The border patrol apparently stopped the pogo stick from further bounding.  STYLE Knickers  The knickers revival was just around the corner, though it would be &amp;quot;limited to those who have the legs for it.&amp;quot; How It Holds Up: The revival appears to have stalled--at least until Nike makes some customized knickers for Tiger.  FOOD Saul Bellow&amp;#039;s Meat-Sauce Recipe &amp;quot;1/2 pound chopped beef; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 2 cups chopped onion; 3 cloves garlic; 3 1/2 cups canned Italian-style plum tomatoes, undrained; 1 small can tomato paste; 1 cup dry red wine; 2 cups water or beef broth; 1 bay leaf; soy sauce to taste; pepper to taste; fresh minced ginger to taste; curry powder to taste.  &amp;quot;Brown chopped beef in oil. Add onions and garlic; saute&amp;#039;. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, water or broth, wine, bay leaf, soy sauce, and some pepper. Simmer uncovered for two hours. Add curry powder and ginger and simmer at least another fifteen minutes. Stand the sauce overnight to &amp;#039;let flavors meld.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; How It Holds Up: With its nontraditional, flavorful kick, this sauce is still as complex and satisfying as The Adventures of Augie March. MUSIC Mandy Patinkin&amp;#039;s Self-Titled Show-Tunes Album &amp;quot;As sweet-sounding as the Vienna Boys Choir, as sentimental as a Whitman Sampler.&amp;quot; How It Holds Up: As pleasant as an embolism.
