...Coleman, now 28, says she began sampling marijuana, hash, amphetamines and barbiturates when she was a freshman at an exclusive girls' school in Virginia horse country. The status drug among the teen-age girls, however, was clearly cocaine. "If you had a little thing of coke you felt cool," Coleman recalls...
...report obviously is not going to cool the fiery debate about whether the Pentagon is letting hardware costs run out of control. The Reagan Defense Department's main weapon in holding down these costs is the "Carlucci initiatives," a set of 32 guidelines drawn up by Frank Carlucci, then No. 2 to Weinberger, in 1981.

Their first stop: Room...
...true story of Dale Jackson, a Black Vietnam veteran and Congressional Medal of Honor winner, who entered an Army hospital suffering from a nervous breakdown. In the play. Jackson (Reggie Montgomery) is confronted by an understanding psychologist (Ralph Pochoda). Their contact peels layers of resistance away from his cool exterior. Montgomery's riveting performance exposes a man consumed by guilt--guilt over bother his unconscionable actions in Vietnam and the fact that be alone of all his soldier friends survived to be actually honored for those deeds...
