Junior could probably do the trick all right. A little practice and an understanding of the situation might save the life of a small boy born into the Atomic Age. The treatise explained how: "Junior will feel the wind go by, the dirt and pebbles blown with hurricane force against his head. A few cuts on the arms and legs aren't important. His playmates, standing upright, will be blown over like matchsticks. Some may get concussions, some broken bones...

He took both lungs, sliced them into thin strips and carefully packed them for shipment. Hultin named the body "Lucy...
...crashed and Saddam Hussein had assassinated Castro and kidnapped the Pope, nobody would be aware of it. The domination of the news by the Clinton scandal was total. Maybe special prosecutor Kenneth Starr and Lewinsky's pal Linda Tripp will finally satisfy Americans' insatiable thirst for titillation and dirt. The name Tripp will surely live in infamy and replace Brutus as the archetypal betrayer. NORMAN GRONWOLD Norcross, Minn...
