...last year (from a peak of 220,000 in 1982), jumped almost 100,000 in the aftermath of Webster. Many of the hundreds of thousands who participated in pro-choice demonstrations on Nov. 12, organized by NOW and other groups, were marching for the first time in their lives. Among them was Emily Friedan, 33, a Buffalo pediatrician and Betty Friedan's daughter. "For 25 years I have rarely appeared with my mom. This April I marched with her because of the abortion issue," says Friedan, who has organized a local chapter of Physicians for Choice. The abortion issue...
...surging crowds that toppled Czechoslovakia's rulers last week were inspired by, among others, Frantisek Cardinal Tomasek, 90, who has become an increasingly militant proponent of change.

Among the few places with electric generators and food supplies, many hotels offered meals, showers and beds to the homeless and to relief workers who had come to help. Four Seasons Hotels sent 27 tons of food, medicine, clothing and chain saws to Nevis, where its new property is still under construction. Cruise ships in St. Thomas ferried stranded tourists out and supplies in. Despite about $10 million in damage, the luxury Virgin Grand resort on St. John was turned into...
...treachery on both sides of the Wall, is suddenly out of date. As are, an optimist dutifully believes, many thousands of border guards, KGB head beaters and assassins in the real world. Espionage will go on, of course, but presumably it will be of the corporate kind, waged among Japan, Korea and the European Community, which is apt to | include Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, what used to be called East Germany, and (as an associate member) what remains of the Soviet Union.
