Nationally, with Kennedy out, Hart is by far the best known of the potential Democratic presidential candidates, and the only one who has already fought a coast-to-coast campaign. That drive left him with supporters in every state, whom he can begin early to shape into the kind of national organization he had to jerry-build from scratch in 1984. But Hart is also the only candidate bearing scars from the last race. Organized labor, a powerful force in the party, has not forgiven his attacks on "special interests" backing his ultimately successful rival for the presidential nomination, Walter...
...insisted that a U.S. strike was unlikely, but at the same time the planning continued. One favored option called for an aerial engagement against Libyan fighters over the Gulf of Sidra, followed by strikes against one or more of the five main air bases strung out along the Libyan coast. Intelligence reports indicated that Libya was accelerating its deployment of Soviet surface-to-air missiles, including SA-5s, which will significantly strengthen its defenses against attack. As part of the U.S. preparations, the Pentagon ordered a flight of EA-6B "electronic warfare" planes dispatched from Whidbey Island, Washington...
...travel, once an expensive way to go, is now discounted almost as fiercely as videocassette recorders and used cars. A new fleet of cut-rate carriers, launched over the past seven years by a wave of airline deregulation, has entered the big time by offering startlingly cheap fares from coast to coast and on hundreds of routes in between.

In addition to People Express, many other new entries have had impressive takeoffs. New York Air is growing rapidly along the East Coast, Muse Air is doing well from its Houston base, and Jet America is carving out a niche with flights between California and the Midwest. Many others, though, have failed. After expanding too swiftly, Air Florida filed for bankruptcy in 1984 and then merged with Chicago's Midway Airlines. The casualties...
...Growing up in Ashland gave me a sense of who I was and where I came from," says Naomi, who married young and had Wynonna at 18. In 1968 she left Kentucky for the West Coast, where she modeled, worked as a secretary and managed a health-food store in West Hollywood, all the while proudly holding on to her lineage. "What's your sign?" someone would ask her. The reply was simply "Baptist." After a divorce and two prolonged stints in California, Naomi, Wynonna and Younger Daughter Ashley headed home for good. Ask Wynonna what the Judds' music would...
