...time, of course, for John LoGiudice to get punished for chopping down a cherry tree. He found the tree growing wild, about 25 years ago, in the backyard of his house in Queens, N.Y. He transplanted it out to the front, next to the public sidewalk, and there it grew. "We always took care of it," said LoGiudice, 66, a retired milkman. "It was a beautiful tree with pretty flowers blossoming every spring and nice healthy cherries...
After the revolution, another struggle for power. That this would be the next chapter in Iran's political saga grew ever more possible last week as the country's new leaders struggled to consolidate their tenuous control over their chaotic land. In many ways, the immediate challenge facing the regime headed by Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan was reflected at a rally staged at the Tehran University soccer stadium by disgruntled leftist groups that want a bigger voice in the post-Shah government than they have so far been allowed. Under the banner of the Marxist fedayeen, an overflow...
Fleet of knee as an infant, Nehemiah was nicknamed "Skeets" by his father before he could walk. He grew into a splendid all-around athlete, but he seemed born to hurdle.

The challenger showed snow-bound commuters and photos of herself with Daley. Laboring under Byrne's verbal barrage and a charge that one of his aides was improperly awarded a no-bid snow-removal contract, Bilandic played the martyr--an ill-advised ploy...
After two years at CBS, where he grew increasingly frustrated with his infrequent access to prime time, Bill Moyers has returned to public television to resume Bill Moyers Journal. On Monday night, he profiled Wallace DeBaw, a hypnotist from Colorado. His show never seemed to decide what it was all about--several very long (especially for only a half-hour program) scenes between DeBaw and his patients revealed little. The show shifted gears to a discussion with several hemophiliacs about how hypnotism had helped them. Moyers has enormous talents as a writer and interviewer, but he made little...
