Bareknuckle competition is the credo of American business, but James and Linda Newton may have taken things too far. In a lawsuit filed last week, Procter & Gamble accuses the Parsons, Kans., couple of promoting their independent Amway distributorship by linking P&G to satanism. The Newtons allegedly circulated a flyer claiming that the president of P&G "gave Satan all the credit for his riches" and offering information on "alternative products." For more than a decade, P&G has been bedeviled by the satanism charge. Tales that its 108-year-old moon-and-stars logo was demonic forced the symbol...
...communist, a convinced communist. For some that may be fantasy but for me it is my main goal."

Fulghum's sons live in the neighborhood, and in order to stay in shape, two generations frequently go jogging in a nearby park.

Says Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, an ardent backer: "In San Francisco, she was more moderate than her city. But that will help in the Governor's race, because...
Mozambique. President Joaquim Chissano is showing much more pragmatism than Mengistu. Last summer Chissano's government abandoned the Marxist-Leninist credo that his Frelimo Party has embraced since it came to power in 1975. Transformed from "a vanguard of the worker and peasant alliance" to "a party of all the Mozambican people," the ruling group has stepped up market reforms that it initiated in the mid-1980s. Last January Chissano introduced a draft constitution that embraces universal suffrage, a secret ballot, direct election of both the President and the parliament and the reintroduction of private ownership of land...
