...believe that there is anyone who is particularly fond of divorce. Nor is marriage a contract to be treated lightly. Two people who choose to marry should intend to stick with it for life. But the experiences of a lifetime can alter a situation dramatically. If a woman discovers that her face has been permanently damaged by a violent husband, should she try to work it out to maintain the institution of marriage? I am being slightly unfair in this point, since both Lat and the Pope concede that physical separation may be necessary in the case of abusive relationships...
...problems with the original case was the confusing nature of the alleged insurance fraud, which centered on a fight that had to be canceled when Chavez cut his nose in training. The government's star witness, former Don King Productions accountant Joseph Maffia, testified that King told him to alter a contract to show that Chavez had received $350,000 in training fees, and Chavez testified through an interpreter that he had never been given that money. Maffia's careful, measured testimony was somewhat compromised when the defense played a tape of an angry Maffia telling King over the phone...
...insistence with which Rabin's mourners proclaimed that the peace process must not be buried alongside him betrayed their fear that eventually it might be. Not soon, certainly. The timetable for the next several months has been set by agreements already signed, and neither side has any reason to alter it--except possibly to speed it up. Thus Peres has already announced that he will finish pulling Israeli troops out of five of the West Bank Palestinian towns by year's end (excluding Hebron, where they must be out by March). That is to be followed by elections...
...Ringo have stepped back into the Beatle spotlight, they have done so on tiptoe. The lads freely discuss their drug use--what Paul calls the "herbal-jazz cigarettes," which garnered arrests for several of the Beatles, and the experiments with lsd. When they were told that acid could alter their minds, McCartney recalls, "John was rather excited by that prospect, and I was rather frightened." McCartney also talks about the strippers they dated in the Hamburg bars. But all are mum on sexual escapades after those early years. If any groupie got to stay overnight during one of the tours...
With her design profile firmly in place, Prada is starting to alter it. "I know the moment of danger," she says. "It comes when they look to you for one thing only. Then when the fashion changes, they go away." The spring collection, shown in Milan last month, is identifiably Prada, but there are changes. The dropped waistlines are still around, but the chic, skinny belts are gone. So is some of the minimalist severity. "I'm tired of retro; I'm tired of chic," says the designer. Instead she uses color--but not loud color--more than she ever...
