Almost as ambitious is PROpeace, an 8½-month, 5,000-person cross-country walk for global nuclear disarmament. Conceived by David Mixner, a former political consultant to Gary Hart, PROpeace will be supported by a movable city of 2,500 geodesic tents and six mobile kitchens providing an estimated 3.8 million meals over the course of the march. Madonna, Rosanna Arquette, Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe and Leonard Nimoy join a mock march in PROpeace's public-service TV advertisement. About $20 million should cover costs, says Mixner, and so far about $2 million has been raised. Though 11,000 prospective...
...whole lot of distractions in West Texas, like mountains or lakes or anything, and most communities are centered around their schools." When the tickets for this game went on sale, the school's booster club gobbled them up before any could be offered to the general public, which got cross. The Midland Memorial Stadium seats 10,750.

Objectively, it has never seemed a dangerous hotbed of those sentiments, but the man's heart is in the right place. Just watch him being loyal, trustworthy, gutsy and modest. Also creative, wise and sensitive. One could almost...
West Point is a powerful experience, but it does not totally mold its graduates. Their values have already been established before they enter. My class ('69) included almost every ethnic, religious and racial group and, although basically conservative, was a good cross section of America. We did not have the "rigid military-academy mind-set" to which your article referred. You are perpetuating a popular misconception. I am sure today's cadets are much the same as we were. Gary L.

...Colombia's agony. As President Reagan sent Betancur a message expressing his sympathy, the U.S. dispatched a dozen CH-47 Chinook and Black Hawk helicopters from Panama to take part in rescue operations. Public and private U.S. disaster relief swelled toward $1 million. In Geneva, the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies reported that twelve countries had contributed $1,250,000 worth of tents, generators, food, blankets and other essentials...
