Robertson has a loyal following, including novice Delegate David Latham, a member of the Cathedral of HIS Glory on New Garden Road in Greensboro. "I believe in what Robertson stands for," says Latham. "I have his tape right here. I listen to it in the car." At Frank Roberts' barbershop on Main Street in High Point, however, the former preacher is hardly taken seriously. "Pat Robertson?" says Roberts. "We never hear the name." According to Roberts, the G.O.P. race is between Dole and Bush. "Dole's biggest asset is Liddy," say the barber. "She is absolutely better than...
...Washington Post picked up stories that Swaggart would often cruise the New Orleans motel strip in his Lincoln Town Car, sometimes rigged out in such disguises as hats, sunglasses and headbands.

Many attacks go far beyond a beating. In New York City's West Village last summer, a young tough wielding a golf club from a speeding car knocked a gay man unconscious, leaving him permanently brain damaged.

...police provide squad-car escorts, but they cannot follow every bus. Besides, they often become targets themselves. Bottles are routinely hurled at patrol cars, and a shopping cart, an automobile transmission and even a refrigerator have been heaved out of high-rise windows, narrowly missing the cruisers. The Guardian Angels have taken to patrolling the buses, but drivers complain that the red-bereted figures make them a more attractive target. On the Guardians' first bus patrol two weeks ago, Founder Curtis Sliwa and his squad hit the deck along with terrified passengers when a lead pipe smashed through a window...
...police have responded to complaints with more patrols. San Francisco Mayor Art Agnos toured the area in an unmarked car and last week announced the addition of 18 extra state narcotics agents to battle the drug traffickers. Residents say cracking down on the crack trade is the only way to halt the violence. The police are not hopeful. "Short of jailing large numbers of people, all we can do is just go out there and stem it as much as we can," says Liljedahl. The transit company has a different answer: when attacks become too frequent, buses are temporarily rerouted...
