...Hydra-headed monster will disappear. The varieties will be fewer and easier to understand." Not all bargain plans will be eliminated, but several have already been allowed to expire quietly, and some airlines would be happy with just a three-class plan of simple, straight first-class, coach and economy fares...
Whatever the explanation of Moussa Sadr's disappearance, troubled Lebanon had lost a potent moderating force in the Imam. As a political as well as spiritual leader of the country's most impoverished community, he had founded technical schools, sports centers and medical clinics for the poor. He had repeatedly attempted to head off bloody sectarian strife.

Without top tennis names in the tourneys, gate sales slump and sponsors disappear. Late withdrawals to rest or to nurse phantom injuries-only to have fallen heroes turn up at an exhibition in Puerto Rico, not an orthopedic ward-have become common. As a result, corporations once eager to hitch their brand names to the tennis bandwagon have begun to have second thoughts. American Airlines...
