While falling oil prices are picking up the world economy, they are shaking it at the same time. Developing countries from Mexico to Indonesia, which had built their economies and their dreams on oil revenues, now watch in anguish as those hopes of prosperity evaporate. The repercussions could go well beyond economics as those countries express their resentment toward consuming countries, many of which are rich industrial lands. The crisis could inflame tensions in the Middle East, in particular, where oil revenues have dropped from $237 billion in 1980 to an estimated $110 billion last year. Last week Israeli Prime...
...music by Alice Coltrane, Laura Nyre and Chuck Griffin, "Cry" was performed poignantly by Deborah Manning, but suffered from the absence of the strength of dancer Judith Jamison. Ailey created the dance "for all Black women everywhere--especially our mothers," and it moves slowly and somberly from expressions of anguish and suffering to ones of triumph, hope and energy.

There are about 10,000 other Americans in Nancy Jobes' predicament, a hopeless twilight known to doctors as a "permanent vegetative state." For their families, they are a constant source of anguish, and there is a tremendous financial burden (as much as $100,000 a year, usually paid by insurance). These patients pose a knotty ethical dilemma for doctors as well --a conflict between the duty to sustain life and the obligation to relieve suffering. With few professional guidelines to help them resolve the conflict, doctors have frequently decided to continue treatment because of their moral qualms or fear...
...there is enough sweet irony in her voice to suggest that she has looked into the face of her teenage pal Andie (Molly Ringwald) and seen just why the Fountain of Youth is laced with citric acid. Teenhood is the pits. Faces are constantly aflush with anger, ardor, embarrassment. Anguish over dates and grades streaks the first application of mascara. Clique rivalries make the Iran-Iraq war seem congenial by comparison. Emotions newly discovered are unique and convulsive. She loves me! Life hates me! How anyone endures this seven-year manic-depressive itch is a mystery even to those...
