...Delhi for the past two years, last Thursday began ordinarily enough. The Indian chauffeur took the diplomat and his wife shopping, and then began driving back to the embassy. It was noon when the driver steered the off-white, Soviet-built Volga onto Satya Marg, an expansive boulevard in the heart of the capital's exclusive Chanakyapuri diplomatic enclave...
...seven weeks after the session, the record has hit the stores and the airwaves, and shows strong indications of being the smash of the decade. At Tower Records' Sunset Boulevard store in West Hollywood, 1,000 copies were sold in two days. "A No. 1 single sells about 100 to 125 copies a week," explains Richard Petitpas, the store's singles buyer. "This is absolutely unheard of." Ken Barnes, editor of the trade magazine Radio & Records, says We Are the World was put on the air in its first week by 91% of the 256 radio stations that are regularly...

The location of the Bird residence is given away by a full blacktopped court, complete with two glass backboards, reclining in a grassy glen just a good stretch of the leg from a sunny country house...
...cascaded down Frank Phillips Boulevard and rushed along the corridors of the Jane Phillips Episcopal Hospital and the Phillips Hotel. It spilled over into Frank Phillips Airport and gushed through every Phillips 66 station in town. In Bartlesville, Okla., last week, there was good reason for jubilation. Phillips Petroleum, the eighth largest U.S. oil producer, had succeeded in stopping New Yorker Carl Icahn's bid to take over the company after earlier beating back a similar attempt by Texan T. Boone Pickens. A three-month siege by corporate raiders had ended, and worries for the future were replaced by good...
