...like this -- the odor, the dirt, people all over the floor. Then I realized I had no choice." Pride prevents him from telling his mother in South Carolina about his situation. "I'm going to get back on my feet first." Rachel Hanson, 43, was a housewife in Anaheim, Calif., when her marriage of 19 years ended in divorce in 1985. With no skills and little savings, Hanson lost her four-bedroom house to foreclosure. Shelter workers discovered her last January in a campground, where she had been living in a car with her three children for eight months...
...centennial of Weston's birth this year is being marked by three museum shows. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, Calif., will exhibit 45 of his pictures later this month. Sixty are going up in December at the Art Institute of Chicago. But the real Weston juggernaut opened earlier this month at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: a sweeping retrospective of 237 prints. Organized by the University of Arizona's Center for Creative Photography and selected by Beaumont Newhall, the gray eminence of photo history, the exhibition will run in San Francisco through Feb. 15, then travel...
From Flint, Mich., to Fremont, Calif., from West Germany and Yugoslavia to Japan and South Korea, they roll off the assembly lines with daunting speed. Cars, cars and still more cars. Suddenly they are being turned out by more manufacturers in more locations than at any time in decades. In myriad shapes, sizes and colors, price tagged for all pocketbooks, in a glittering, growing, chromium-plated cavalcade seemingly without end, they continue to cruise into U.S. showrooms and, with slightly less frequency, back onto the streets of America. Under the impact of that four-wheeled flood, the $230 billion...

This fall, as Toyota starts annual production of 50,000 of its peppy Corolla FX-16 at a joint- venture plant in Fremont, Calif., it is also assembling 200,000 Chevy Novas for GM. Ford, which since 1979 has owned 25% of Mazda, has agreed to buy up to 50% of the output of that company's Michigan plant, to be sold as part of the Mustang series. Chrysler and Mitsubishi have a joint project known as Diamond Star, which will...
...East Berlin biologist who is unknown to Western AIDS experts, claimed that the virus originated in biological-warfare experiments at Fort Detrick, Md. Segal's allegation resurfaced in Zambia, then in London's Sunday Express, which cited support for the charge from Robert B. Strecker, an internist in Glendale, Calif., and John R. Seale, a British expert in venereal diseases. Strecker, who has written that the AIDS virus could have originated in either a natural or an artificial combination of viruses, dismisses the biological- warfare angle as "just speculation." Seale believes the deadly virus was man-made, but at different...
