...Walk for Peace, a fundraising event organized and sponsored by Peace Action, in conjunction with more than 70 area organizations, began at 11:30 a.m. with live music and entertainment and the actual walking started...
...strands of human complexity can be found on this seamy beat. The new syndicated show On Trial, featuring footage from actual court cases, has drawn criticism for turning courtroom proceedings into entertainment. Yet the trial excerpts are gripping and ambiguous as only real life can be. And a syndicated special airing on local stations this month, Crimes of Violence, probes disturbingly into the psychology of several confessed criminals. The shock is how calmly detached from their acts many of these "brutal" offenders are. One soft-spoken rapist, pressed to show remorse for his crimes, responds at last...
...individuals living near Hanford have been affected physically. In a preliminary estimate, CDC researchers suggested that 20,000 children in eastern Washington may have been exposed to unhealthy levels of radioactive iodine by drinking milk from cows grazing in contaminated grasslands.

...dread moment for a political campaign comes when reporters, and sometimes ordinary citizens, start asking whether the candidate has already lost and the actual vote has become a formality.

Gurney's actual family has made little secret of its distaste for being portrayed in his work ever since his cartoonish Love in Buffalo was mounted at Yale School of Drama in 1958, while he was a student there. Yet the puckish hint of autobiography is only one of the charms of The Cocktail Hour, which opened off-Broadway last week...
