...President and Nancy Reagan met the families in a sparsely furnished classroom. Reagan picked up Mike Smith's daughter Erin, 8, who was holding a brown teddy bear that wore a pink apron. After embracing most of the relatives, one by one, he said, "We'll all go out together in a few minutes. I wish there was something I could say to make it easier, but there just aren't any words." Yet when the music stopped and he stepped onto the outdoor ; rostrum, Reagan once again found the right words, and he delivered them eloquently...
...morning, McAuliffe, who had earlier reassured her parents by telephone that she was "rarin' to go," was set once again. Her parents, along with 18 third-graders from Concord, had flown to the cape to watch the lift-off. Christa's son Scott, 9, was in the class. Her daughter Caroline, 6, was also there but had never quite understood what her mother was doing.

Onizuka often returned to visit his mother on the slopes of Hawaii island's Mount Hualalai, where she runs a general store near the village of Holualoa.

The result has been nothing less than glorious. Her strong and silky voice has made her first album, Whitney Houston, a best seller for 46 weeks. Last week at the American Music Awards, Houston won for best rhythm-and-blues single (You Give Good Love) and best R.-and-B. video...
...OTHER CHARACTERS fall just a little short. As the daughter-in-law, Glynn is trapped in a one-dimensional role, handicapped by the shallowness of the script. We are constantly alerted to the fact that she is a heartless, tacky bitch, but the character is so overwrought that, despite some hints of depth, we never see enough complexity really to identify with her. Ditto for Thelma (Rebecca De Mornay), a young woman whom Page befriends in a bus station on the way to Bountiful. De Mornay's character is so unflinchingly sweet that when she suddenly and inexplicably disappears from...
