...Rome in A.D. 64. On such engaging historical notes opens The Vatican (Abrams; 398 pages; $60), a book that will do much to fill in the fragmentary picture that even dedicated travelers take away from this tiny (108 acres) yet labyrinthine city-state. This is an illuminating and often candid guide. All the famous sights are here, but so are crannies like the Teutonic Cemetery, a burial place for pilgrims since the time of Charlemagne...
...when the firm began selling it in the U.S. Lilly recalled Oraflex in August 1982, though it still provides the drug to 700 U.S. patients who have not responded to other treatment. Borom's attorney, Neal Pope, said the verdict tells drug firms that "they had better be candid about their knowledge of side effects...
...Lines Flight 007. His wife Kathy, 34, believed that the Soviets deliberately "assassinated" McDonald, and ran to serve out his fifth term.

After the press secretary demanded Janka's resignation, Janka released his letter of protest: "This week's events in the Caribbean have...
...Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, 56, was the only serious alternative candidate. A former political science professor at Georgetown University, she was a longtime Democratic activist. Like her fellow neoconservatives, however, she was repelled by the dovish drift of the Democratic Party, which occurred as she was turning more resolutely antiCommunist. As a Reagan pet, she has had an unsual degree of influence in shaping policy. But as a prospective National Security Adviser, she had obvious drawbacks. In dealings with colleagues as well as adversaries, Kirkpatrick tends to be everything McFarlane is not: high-strung, argumentative, ideological, organizationally disheveled, and candid...
