...setting straight out of Gone With the Wind-literally. Georgia Senator Herman Talmadge's 143-year-old columned plantation house, set in a 2,500-acre pine forest and graced with magnolias, actually appeared in the film. Last week the place was the scene of a more modern drama as 16 Democratic leaders of Congress came calling to share grits and harmony with the first Deep Southerner to be elected President since the Civil...
What makes Freddie run? For one thing, he seems to have TV tubes implanted in his chest. "He is a child of broadcasting," says former CBS Executive Ethel Winant. Silverman's father was in television (he repaired them), and Fred was reared in Forest Hills, N.Y., on Howdy Doody and Clark Kent. He studied communications at Syracuse University and earned a master's degree at Ohio State. His thesis: a 400-page analysis of ABC programs from 1953 to 1959.

A $500 million hydroelectric power transmission line that is supposed to snake over 1,200 miles of forest and bush from the Zaïre River (once the Congo) to the copper belt in Shaba (formerly Katanga) is far behind schedule.

O'Donnell's gift is what sticks, and it is some gift indeed: funny, touching and distinctive. This dividend is the one you frame because it's the first...
...location, untrue stories of slave laborers living in hovels have regularly appeared in the Brazilian press. In fact, while they are occasionally exploited by contractors, the migrant workers who make up about two-thirds of Jari's work force frequently return to the operation for another season in the forest. Some of the criticism of Jari may stem from political jealousies. Ludwig and his managers routinely bypass local officials, including the state governors, and deal only with top officials in Brasilia, the national capital...
