Barry ( The Taming of the Screw ) is in top form in his latest  collection of essays from the Miami Herald. He introduces readers to his  teenage son, who rarely leaves his room except to demand new sneakers;  to his two dogs, Earnest and Zippy, so fearsome to intruders that Barry  had to install an alarm system; to certain Florida UFOlogists, who sound  like prospective candidates for psychiatric study. There are several  pieces about Barry's contest to pick the worst modern pop song, which  drew 10,000 responses, with "MacArthur Park" the clear winner.  Exceptionally good are the travel articles about China and Bimini. Other  topics involve lefthandedness, the hazards of air travel (principally  the other passengers) and masochistic consumers.
