...supporters, she is an avenging angel who promises to restore democracy. To opponents, she is impetuous, arrogant and inexperienced, a menace intent on undermining Islam and order. Angel or devil, Benazir Bhutto, 35, now holds the keys to the kingdom...
...feel too sorry for him. Norman is gifted, rich and a handsome devil besides. He has won 53 professional tournaments and holds the all-time record for single-year winnings at $1.3 million. On the course, the graceful Australian with the preternaturally blond hair first captures attention with his power. When he hits a drive the ball gets small in a hurry, as though some invisible agent is pulling it into the far reaches of that vault of air that is the golfer's working space. Nicklaus calls him the "longest straight hitter ever...
...vault on live TV. The cupboard was bare, but ratings were huge, and Rivera followed up with melodramatic specials on such topics as drugs and death row, as well as with a daytime talk show. This week he returns to network TV with a two-hour special on NBC, Devil Worship: Exposing Satan's Underground.

The hot-button journalists of The Reporters and other tabloid shows pursue their...
Nice timing too. In fact, Diamond's song is a fine introduction to UB40's sun-splashed funk, as long as listeners follow its affable lead and plunge into such originals as Sing Our Own Song (on the 1986 LP Rat in the Kitchen) or Dance with the Devil on the most recent album. It is on those tunes, righteous and rhythmic, that the band really proves itself. Red Red Wine may be a good song to hang your hat on, but on a UB40 tune like Sing, a band could proudly stake a reputation...
