Though Reeves's participation in protest politics was more than a passing foray, his community work was more time consuming and more gratifying. But campus activists today, Reeves says, seem to focus on the bigger issues...

Hardware stores experienced a run on security items, and weapons dealers reported a booming business.

...church movement increasingly known as the New Fundamentalism. It seeks to shed the reputation for bigotry and cultural narrowness without giving an inch on the Bible issues.

It showed South Africa's determination to continue hitting foreign ANC bases, even in nominally friendly countries like Botswana, in defiance of international opinion. Already angered by the Angola raid, Washington reacted to the Botswana adventure by calling U.S. Ambassador Herman Nickel home for "consultations," a gesture intended to show extreme displeasure. State Department Spokesman Bernard Kalb declared that the two incidents raised "the most serious questions" about South Africa's recent actions. The U.S. response, the angriest...
