Coca-Cola probably could not help but be caught off guard by the sugar industry's assault. Its run-in with textile workers, though, was an avoidable gaffe. Last month Coca-Cola unveiled a line of men's and women's casual clothing manufactured by Murjani International of New York City under a license from the Atlanta company. The Murjani products included bright-colored sweaters ($40), sweatshirts ($34) and jean jackets ($52), all bearing the Coca-Cola logo. The trouble began when textile officials discovered that the clothes were made in Asia, despite being advertised as "All-American." Several textile...
...people know that Penn was the same old Penn, there was his trademark publicity shyness. (He faces assault charges stemming from an alleged Nashville attack on two journalists.) Two nights before the wedding, he was photographed making his way into his bachelor party with a towel or blanket wrapped around his face. And few wondered who had scrawled an obscene greeting in the sand off Unger's house for photographers to read from the helicopters above...

So far the results have been mixed. In the celebrated air interception of the four Palestinians who took over the Achille Lauro, U.S. anger and decisiveness yielded a spectacular victory without bloodshed. But in the Colombian government's Nov. 6 assault on M-19 terrorists holed up in the country's Palace of Justice, and again in Malta last week, the responses produced triumphs that could just as easily...
...mission itself. President Reagan somberly supported the decision to go in. So did the hijack survivors, including Pilot Hani Galal, who had told the tower at Valletta, "Please do something. They're going to kill us all." The same shock coupled with somber understanding had accompanied an anti-terrorist assault 17 days earlier in Bogotá, Colombia, where at least two dozen terrorists died, along with nearly 100 hostages...
