...marry in the Garden of Eden. They dated. In fact, they almost had the world's most perfect date: neither had to worry about what to wear. But perfection makes for boring conversation. In an attempt to jumpstart the evening, Eve partook of the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge. The rest is history...
...special permission, rarely given, to enter the border zone. Few took the trouble. On Nov. 14 East German workers cut the wire, and now hundreds of two- stroke Trabants pour across the line every day, loaded with East German shoppers headed to Wolfsburg to buy cheap clothes or tropical fruit -- or to find "gray market" jobs to pay for their purchases. And, increasingly, Volkswagens and Opels trundle in the other direction as former East Germans head back to visit friends and relatives. Polls indicate that an astounding 47 million of the 61 million West Germans plan to cross the border...

Winter vegetables, including celery, cauliflower, radishes and broccoli, were heavily damaged in the South. In Florida, virtually the entire $200 million vegetable harvest might be gone, and in Texas only about 20% of the crop might be salvaged...
