...main question raised by the bishops' approval of the pastoral letter is whether it would indeed work for peace in the long run. The document is a classic example of the church's age-old effort to use moral idealism to change the realities of politics. But the steps that the U.S. bishops advocate may make it more difficult to maintain a precarious peace. Facing the same issues, but at closer range, West European bishops have been far less critical of NATO's nuclear strategy...
Computers are undoubtedly at the cutting edge of education today, and many schools are adjusting their pocketbooks to take on the new challenge.

But the outward toughness and underlying sorrow is the same. By following the agonizing predicaments of three young greasers, the film confronts a startling yet age-old reality many adolescents finding themselves inexplicably cast in on-good roles, reflexively challenge authority because it's the only thing they know. One after-noon for Tulsa's greasers trio begins when the oldest and most hardened. Dallas (Matt Dillon), suggests with a smile. "Let's do any-thing...
