...rules -- though, to the dismay of Danson and Goldberg, not always. Beavis and Butt-Head's troubles come from the same sort of confusion. The two cartoon nerds do not encourage stupidity and cruelty to animals; they satirize it. The show may actually be an endorsement of politically correct attitudes, points out Jack Nachbar, professor of popular culture at Ohio's Bowling Green State University. ''If you have a bigot put in front of you and made to look ridiculous,'' he says, ''then that becomes an attack on bigotry. Beavis and Butt-Head, politically incorrect as they are, are also...
Pearl Jam's new album, which is full of animal confrontation, was called Five Against One until the band changed the name to Vs. at the last minute.

While the briefing paper urged action to correct the faulty seal, it concluded that the shuttle was safe to fly until a fix was made. The commission sharply disagreed, declaring that the briefing was ''sufficiently detailed to require corrective action prior to the next flight.'' The commission's reluctance to assign personal blame, while excoriating the agency...
...somewhere in 1989," two years earlier than previous Administration estimates. Perle declared that a new, looser interpretation of the ABM treaty, one that would permit the development of SDI technology, "is going to happen within the lifetime of this Administration." Although Nitze assented that the less restrictive interpretation was correct, he denied that it was Administration policy to apply...
