...Bonn government, openly accusing some West Germans of seeking to fulfill Hitler's dream of changing Europe's borders. The propaganda onslaught reflected the Kremlin's frustration over its failure to block the deployment of the Pershing II missiles in West Germany, but it also fed on deep-rooted fears about the reunification of Germany. Last week Pravda accused Kohl of supporting German groups that oppose the postwar division of Europe. "The imperialist circles in West Germany," the official Communist Party daily declared, "are now dreaming of the liquidation of East Germany−if not today, then...
...ability to evoke a world of childlike innocence has made him the Peter Pan of rock. But the same androgynous appeal has also spawned some fantasies about the true nature of Michael Jackson, 26.

Some of the support comes from sympathetic Latin American nations, some from private...
...times are not changing; they have already changed. The hugging, the kissing, the tears belonged to both the men and the women. Sugar Ray Leonard fed his baby a bottle while he watched the boxing. The women, taut and tough, sleek and sinewy, demolished the myths of frailty forever, and they did it with humor, grace, gaiety and even... sportsmanship. Try telling the women's rowing crew that women can't get along with each other, or the volleyball team that women lack commitment.
