By Michael Kinsman STAFF WRITER ashua, N.H., is beaming today. Money magazine calls it the best place to live in the country. NIt boasts a finer quality of life than Seattle, San Francisco, Boul der, Colo., and 296 other cities ranked by the magazine, including San Diego. .1 ,i Harrumph. 1""' .,.,,· .-T America's Finest City isn't quite sure what to make of a survey that ·- shows it sliding from the 16th best place to live in the United States a year ago to the 28th best today. \ ' "c.& ""' "From my understanding, San Diego should have gone up in the poll, not down," said Gil Partida, president'of the Greater San Diego Cham ber of Commerce. Evaluating San Diego's economic and population growth and a de clining crime rate, Partida can't explain why San Diego slid in the poll of readers while the Los Angeles-Long Beach area leapfrogged it, T jumping from 40th place last year to 22nd this year. "This is one poll that just doesn't make sense," he said. "It leaves you scratching your head." But David Sullivan, a professor of communication studies at the Uni --J" versity of San Diego, notes that acceptance of poll findings often de pends on where you stand. "If you get a good ranking, you're pleased," he said. "Credibility be The best of towns, the worst of towns comes an issue because you've slipped." , The best and worst places to live in the country, as ranked by Money Sullivan said a poll such as Money's usually doesn't mean much, magazine in its July issue.

PIERRE FORTIN/ SIS Reviewed by Doug Payne here's nothing dull about middle age. In Richard Ford's · hands, at least, middle age seems to be a time in which the possibilities you have to make a good life for yourself T are enhanced by greater powers of reflec- tion and greater stores of experience. So, in theory, WOMEN the choices you make could be real choices, not WITH MEN blind impulses. Things don't work out so ideally, of course, for Richard Ford the characters in Ford's latest collection of stories, Knopf, 256 pages, $23 'Women with Men" - the seventh book by the au thor of the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Ind,ependence Day." While Ford refutes cliches about middle age being~ static period, he also explores the obstacles that generally prevent us from turn- ing our experience into wisdom.
