...Five years ago at Wimbledon, they opposed each other during the junior championships, and Edberg both beat Becker and won the tournament to nominate himself as the coming star. But the two Australian titles and some $4 million he has earned at 22 have managed to appear paltry next to Becker's back-to-back Wimbledons in 1985 and 1986 and world celebrity...
Militant rhetoric aside, many analysts concluded that immediate retaliation against the U.S. was unlikely.

Cooney was the stepson of a police officer; Katanic's widowed mother is a clerical worker...
Some things never change, such as the Democrats' compulsion to list in encylopedic detail all the forms of bias they abhor. A safe bet: the social- science buzz word multicultural will not appear in the G.O.P. platform...
