...have a limited newsstand test in late October, and the premier issue will be available next spring. The current Dirt is crammed with dark graphics and dense type. Articles range from a 23-year-old convict's account of life in an urban gang to Lewman's good-grooming checklist. Shampoos, he notes, are recommended "before school pictures and whenever your hair looks stupid...
...dealer's lot is a lemon? Call Auto Critic and have it dispatch a mobile inspection unit to check out the used car, van or truck in question.

The trouble is, almost all of them were probably among the 1,426 killed in the July 2 tunnel disaster. The Turkish government...
...that ravaged land. The roughly 15,000 Amerasian children (now young adults, like many of the children of the MIAs) must be allowed to leave Vietnam if they wish, and political prisoners freed from re- education camps. Questions about the remaining POW/MIAs should be resolved. So runs the checklist of U.S.-Vietnamese policy, as it has for much of the past decade. Hanoi insists that it has met the conditions. Although progress has been made on all of these issues, Washington is not yet satisfied...
