...gaining power. But connivance may. Stanislaw Kabbelski, a local police chief and, later, minister in a provisional Belorussian Cabinet, conspires in the deaths of strangers, then acquaintances, then family friends. His children witness the double-dealing and slaughter, committed by Germans and by Russian-sponsored Belorussian insurgents with equal abandon. Long before adolescence, the Kabbelski children are plunged into a world void of moral order. Kabbelski's soul-destroying deals are, moreover, made in vain: abandoned by the Germans, who are losing, and cheated by fellow Belorussians, who are maneuvering for postwar advantage, he becomes a fugitive. The family breaks...
...poisoning after taking an Extra-Strength Tylenol capsule. In 1982 seven people died from cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules, but it was the most recent death that persuaded Johnson & Johnson to stop making capsules altogether and to reissue the remedy in a tamper-resistant "caplet" form. Whether SmithKline will also abandon capsules was not clear. Unlike Tylenol, the SmithKline products are "time-release" medicines, which break down slowly and work best in capsule form. Besides, Contac accounts for some $50 million in SmithKline's sales, half of its over-the-counter drug business. Despite the drug's wide popularity, it could...
Within his profession, Hall, 58, is a revered, almost legendary figure, esteemed both for the brilliance of his productions and for his odds-defying, inspirational leadership, but to most of the theatergoing public he is unknown.

I thought the theater should be built around the artists, and I always looked to find my sense of family there...
Appreciation of Aquino in Washington is relatively new. Early on, many in the Administration dismissed her as inexperienced. They were especially concerned that if elected, she would demand that the U.S. abandon its military bases at Clark and Subic Bay Naval Station. There appears to be little danger of that, however. In a speech last month before the joint Philippine and foreign Chambers of Commerce, Aquino promised that she would consult other nations in the region and "especially" the Filipino people before signing any new treaty. Since then, she has repeatedly maintained that she would honor the present agreement until...
...their European allies." British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government supported Reagan's plan but insisted that any agreement on nuclear missiles include two shorter-range tactical Soviet missiles--the SS-21 and SS-22--that are stationed in Eastern Europe. Thatcher is unwilling at the moment to abandon plans to modernize the British force with new Trident II (D-5) submarine- launched nuclear missiles. In France, the prospect of a reduction in medium- range missiles raised old fears that Western Europe would be "decoupled" from the U.S. Said a former French defense-policy planner: "The probability of American engagement...
