Once a month this fall, natural disasters have devastated widely scattered parts of the U.S. In September Hurricane Hugo slammed into the Carolina coast; October brought the San Francisco Bay earthquake. Last week the furies returned in a burst of tornadoes. Frigid air howled out of the Arctic to collide with record balmy weather pushing northward from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. The unseasonable clash generated a hopscotching barrage of twisters through 14 states from Arkansas to New York that killed at least 30 people. Though the storms were briefer than Hugo, the whirling winds were stronger than...
...peace talks to hope that a settlement in El Salvador's ten-year civil war might be in the offing. Even when the talks broke off three weeks ago amid a surge in civilian killings and rumors of a guerrilla offensive, no one imagined that the war would be brought from the countryside right into the capital.

In past years, a watchful eye was kept on the baby parked at the end of the lane. With both the baby boom and the increased number of people actively working to maintain their physical fitness, more and more people began bringing babies to the pool. Many strollers scattered around...
...brought blessed relief to a few careers. For the Kansas-born Alley, "this is my big blockbuster. Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, I'm clicking my heels." Travolta, back on top after years of languishing, says the movie "makes people happy. It makes them feel good about having a family. Men tell me, 'You're giving me lessons in how to be a dad.' Women say, 'Will you be my husband?' I gotta tell you, it thrills me to pieces." It thrills Hollywood too. The town is always pleased to welcome a baby with such a humongous silver...
