...sweet sixteenth birthday comes only once. And so in honor of the occasion, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter showed up at Woodward Academy last week to take Amy and three school girlfriends out for a surprise family dinner in Atlanta. In addition to the requisite birthday cake, Amy received a bouquet of balloons and a few gifts. But she was back at the private boarding school for the p.m. curfew. She entered Woodward as a junior this fall. And, who knows, the once retiring Amy may follow in her Father's footsteps: she has already been elected president...

News of the Pope's unexpected arrival spread quickly. Poles rushed to the windows of drab prefabricated apartment blocks overlooking the monument and congregated in a park laid out after the war on the rubble of the ghetto...
...alone down a country road some misty afternoon. She might glide round a bend, only to find the road blocked by a herd of cows. The cowherd, struck by her beauty, might shoo his beasts away, and she, touched by his courtesy, might hand him a flower from a bouquet she had gathered. Cut: and the noise you hear is millions of women stampeding to the drugstore...
