...relationships between characters in Return of the Jedi are sappy and unbelievable at times--but that's par for the course; the superficial portrayals keep events from slowing down. Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia and Harrison Ford as Han Solo don't make very convincing lovers, but Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker successfully reveals something resembling inner struggle between the Force and the evil his father represents. Since Star Wars. Hamill has changed Skywalker from the typical fairy-tale incarnation of goodness into a character torn by his affections for his father and his desires to save his friends...
Students at the Central American University in San Salvador were drifting through the campus after their classes when U.S. Navy Lieut. Commander Albert A. Schaufelberger III drove up in his Ford Maverick to collect Consuelo Escalante, manager of the university cooperative store. Schaufelberger, 33, a bachelor, had been seeing Escalante regularly and often picked her up after work. The Navy officer was wearing civilian clothes, as he often did since coming to El Salvador nine months earlier to help administer U.S. security assistance and train government forces in their war against leftist guerrillas...
Congress never did. Last week's court ruling was an emphatic repudiation of Reagan's initial position. The court's decision essentially followed the reasoning presented last October by William T.

Asked how he felt about getting older, Kissinger remained loyal to his generation. "When I was young, I thought people who were 60 were of another species," said the new sexagenarian. "Now I think...
...Ford, 40, is the only one to break out of his Star Wars mold, and that is only because he won the role of Indiana Jones in another Lucas-inspired film, Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Star Wars gave him visibility, but Raiders made him a box-office draw. "People want fairy tales in their lives, and I'm lucky enough to provide them," Ford says with a touch of cynicism. "There is no difference between doing this kind of film and playing King Lear. The actor's job is exactly the same: dress up and pretend." Nonetheless...
