...Washington, the meteorological chaos brings a heat wave to the Inaugural festivities. Unprepared GOP faithfuls are caught off guard by the high temperatures. Fur-clad women, collapsed from heat prostration, litter the broad boulevards of the capital. The genial second-term President quips in his vanguard speech, "no, I'm definitely not too could to be President...
...anti-apartheid protest swelled, the black South African churchman who helped inspire it took possession of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize. Clad in a red cassock and wearing a gold pectoral cross, South African Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu accepted the Nobel committee's $181,000 cash award and 7.2-oz. gold medal in Norway's University of Oslo Aula.

...Hello, Banana? Change money?" That sales pitch, unusually direct for China, was routinely delivered last week by jeans-clad youths outside Peking's Jianguo Hotel. The bananas, mostly imported from Ecuador, were the vendors' customary, and legal, merchandise. The offer to trade currency was neither normal nor legal-especially since the trade was 150 Chinese renminbi for 100 of the foreign-exchange certificates issued to non-Chinese that are officially valued...
