The Food and Drug Administration has recommended further clinical studies for devices intended to help women perform breast self-examinations. In 1992, the agency had stopped sales of the device, the Sensor Pad, a 10-inch polyurethane pouch filled with silicone lubricant, after a court classified it as a medical device, making it subject to F.D.A. control. The company that makes the pad, Inventive Products Inc. of Decatur, Ill., began selling the pads, which are placed over the breast to reduce friction and make lumps easier to find, to hospitals in 1988.

In the basement of his house in Fresh Meadows, Queens, eye deep in stacks of dusty files and newsletters, Bob Harris dips into a pile of newspaper clippings and lays them out on an ironing board. On sheets of white paper, he creates a collage of headlines and text about the things that get him going, like the proliferation of X-rated clubs and the illegal conversion of single-family houses. When he is finished, he will print up 400 copies of the eight-page newsletter and mail them to civic leaders and legislators. In this largely middle class and largely white redoubt of Queens, Bob Harris sees himself as something of an Everyman; his wife and three children, Everyfamily.

SOMETIMES there are synergistic deals whose lofty goals never get tested. Shareholders of Nextel Communications Inc. endured some nasty bumps last week after MCI canceled the plans it had announced in February to invest $1.3 billion in the wireless communications company. Nextel's stock plunged $5.25 to $25.25 on Monday on news that MCI would not be taking the 17 percent stake. By Thursday, MCI said that efforts to renegotiate had been trashed completely because Motorola Inc., a large investor in Nextel that had veto power on the deal, was being difficult. Nextel closed at $22.875, down $2.8125 on Friday.

This is one year when one of baseball's old barometers should definitely hold form. The teams in first place on Labor Day should be in first place at the end of the season. Maybe that's because the major leagues have already reached the end of the season.

The Dallas Mavericks signed guard JASON KIDD yesterday to a nine-year contract reportedly worth some $60 million. The team declined to release the contract's worth, but The Dallas Morning News, quoting an unnamed source, said the discussions centered on a $60 million package. The Mavericks said the contract forced them to renounce their rights to the unrestricted free agents TONY CAMPBELL, FAT LEVER and RANDY WHITE. The club will be prohibited from re-signing the three until the 57th day of the season. The 6-foot-4-inch Kidd, 21, was selected second over all in the N.B.A. draft last June after his sophomore year at California. (AP)
