What's hot, not for the week
By Dan Shanoff
Page 2 columnist

It isn't enough to know what's hot at events like the Super Bowl or the NCAA Tournament. It isn't even enough to know what's hot heading into the regular season for baseball or the NBA. No, in this age of fast-forward information flow, keeping up with what's cool and what's passé is vital; everything can change in a matter of days.

That's why the "What's Hot, What's Not" list is going weekly. As always, your co-workers in the office cafeteria, your pick-up teammates at the Y, your friends sitting along the neighborhood bar, and your cavalcade of first dates are just waiting for you to tell 'em what's what:
