Last month, after West German Ambassador Ehrenfried von Holleben was kidnaped, he was ransomed by the release of 40 prisoners, who were flown to asylum in Algeria. One of them, Vera Silvia Araújo Magālhaes, 22, had to be carried from the plane; she said that her legs were paralyzed because of brutal tortures that often concentrated on her genitals. Another, Daniel de Arāo Reis Filho, displayed badly scarred arms. Police left him hanging from a beam, he said, "until there was no skin where my arms were placed across the wood...
...younger generation make sense only from the myopic perspective of an Ivy League existence. Mark Gerzon attends Harvard. Here students take only liberal arts. Most of them come from liberal cosmopolitan, highly affluent backgrounds. Though small in number, they have enough spending money to finance a major "youth culture ara."

And there is Quarterback Steve Sogge, a top pro baseball prospect (he batted 400 for the U.S. team that won at last summer's Pan American Games), who could also fling a football...
...winner of four straight. Michigan State, Texas, Miami and Tennessee were nowhere to be found in the top ten. Alabama was rated seventh, and Notre Dame was languishing unhappily in the No. 5 spot. But it's a long season, and as the Fighting Irish's Coach Ara Parseghian says: "Nobody wants to be No. 1 in September-only in December." Not that Ara can expect to find any surprises in his own Christmas stocking: at week's end Notre Dame absorbed a 24-7 shellacking from Coach Johnny McKay's surprising U.S.C. Trojans, a result...
