Talk about a hard sell. When Mary Ann Barela of Santa Ana hawks her handmade crafts at outdoor fairs, she has to load the pickup, drive for miles, assemble her booth and deal with the public all day. After that, she has to tear down, pack up, drive home and unpack before tumbling into bed. "It's a big hassle," Barela said. "And God forbid you forget anything."

Don't look for this magazine in a pediatrician's waiting room. True, the cover does picture a little girl on a tricycle. But she is out of focus and seems pensive as she peers out of a hazy, black-brown gloom that suggests apocalypse--or at least anarchy. Above her is perched the magazine's title . . . or maybe it's a warning: Cringe. Inside is a print version of shock radio, a graphic mimicry of the quick-cutting, party-down-dude delirium of MTV.
