...growth in recent weeks of both secular and religious peace movements. And I see a growing weariness among many Israelis who just want to be rid of the problem of occupation. Do not let your own moral outrage paint you a picture of an Israel halfway down the ethical chute...
...lugers are all seasoned veterans compared with the Jamaican bobsled team, which first put a sled into a starting chute only four months ago. In Calgary the Jamaicans may well win the gold medal for marketing chutzpah. Their T shirts sell for $15, their sweat shirts for $28. There is even a recorded reggae theme song for sale, Hobbin & A Bobbin. But team members bristle when anyone questions their commitment.

The two sky divers floated to the ground. Williams, a fifth- grade teacher from Post, Texas, landed on her back, suffering a skull fracture...
...loans from commercial banks and international lending agencies like the World Bank. Debtor governments have described the plan as well intentioned but too small in scale to do the job. U.S. bankers, for their part, fear that any more dollars they lend will simply go down the same chute as their earlier loans. In any event, the Baker plan's long-term therapy is of scant use to Mexico, which needs a bailout right away. The Reagan Administration seemed sympathetic to Herzog's appeal last week, but gave no indication about what kind of financial help it might be considering...
