Story, Larry Levis, Salt Lake City, "Black Freckles"; r, and Personal Essay, Roxanne Salt Lake City, "White Ink, Mother's Milk, Mariposa Street." As in past years, local writers of national reputation joined with distinguished writers from around the country to judge the competition. This year's judges included novelist Terry McMillan, poet and nonfiction writer Bill Holm, poet Cynfcia poet and writer Leslie Nor-ri- s, poet Richard Shelton, fiction writer Katharine Haake, and poet and nonfiction writer Nancy Mairs. The Publication Prize, initiated in 1979, is awarded to the best manuscript from the previous year's competition, said G. Feh-laue- Mac-donal- d, book-leng- th Margaret Young Harold K. Moon member Leslie Norris, author and Brigham Young University "The writer is observant, and her prose is of a high standard. I very much like the contemporary situation she uses in her fiction," he added. The $5,000 cash prize must be used for the sole purpose of making suitable arrangement with a reputable publisher for the publication of the work to which the prize was awarded. Barnes, Utah Arts Council Literary Arts Coordinator. "It is designed to assure that some work posessing genuine significance for the state of Utah will not be lost from the body of published literature." Young's manuscript, "Elegies and Love Songs," won first prize in the Collection of Short Stories category in the 1988 Utah Original Writing Competition. Its selection for the 1989 Publication Prize was made by the Council's Literary Advisory Panel, whose members had high praise for her Book-Leng- th 317 Book Review Pages. $19.95. There's a good police story hiding beneath the rind of "The Golden Orange," Joseph Wambaugh's first novel in five years. That is, if you don't mind peeling the skin and tossing away the novel's sour first half. To be fair, "The Golden Orange" is really the story of an officer, something that Wambaugh, who himself served with the Los Angeles police, should know about. But unlike Wambaugh, with "The Choirboys," "The Blue Knight" and other best sellers behind him, the hero of the new novel is a drunk who's "needier than public television." Winnie Farlow is a roustabout retired from the Newport Beach police with a back injury he suffered trying to protect a millionaire's yacht on California's Gold Coast. Calling Winnie bitter is like calling the Gold Coast socialites shallow. Both are apparent from the first page, yet they're the only points Wambaugh makes in the book's first half. Stepping out from among the rich cardboard cutouts is Tess Binder, d an blonde who seems to offer Winnie salvation. Anyone who's ever read a police thriller knows Tess has something else in g, "Look Who's Talking' bland: Cute movie with little to say LOOK THE GOLDEN ORANGE.

Eventually, Winnie is drawn into a plot to break a will and get at the millions left behind by Tess' father. Along the way, Wambaugh tosses in a parade of bad police officers, and gay men with boozy bad toupees, ending with a tearful shoreline goodbye between Winnie and Tess. The first half of "The Golden Orange" is more situation than story. When Wambaugh finally spins his tale, it's quite good, if you don't mind waiting. Though Wambaugh lives in the Gold Coast, he's out of his element amid mansions and ash-eye- occasionally and cruising $89.95. Rated PG-13- .) work.

An adorable baby boy with the voice of Bruce Willis, making wisecracks as often as burps? And Kirstie Alley is so earnest as the mother in distress bumped by the and who we want to win in this daddy contest. There's another message when Alley decides to keep the baby, complete with Segal crooning the cause's theme song, "You're Having My Baby." The message is annoying in the midst of all the cutesy-boots- y baby blather. In her quest to find the perfect dad, Alley goes on a battery of dates. One is with a cheapskate George Segal. And John Travolta, the muscle-boun-d cabbie who takes Alley to the hospital and ends up in the delivery room, also is so sincere. We're pulling for you, John, all the way ... Yo! Hey you! Cut the cord! Travolta quickly ingratiates himself in Alley's life he babysits, he entertains the little guy and seems to behave better than most biological fathers.

I won't give away the ending but you can guess it within the first five minutes there are no surprises here.
