...Christmas isn't Christmas until I've watched (and cried at the end of) It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart [APPRECIATION, July 14].

Stewart has been my favorite for years, and as you pointed out, his life both on and off the screen has been a reason for high admiration for this actor. I will miss him.

Johnson must now defeat G.O.P. primary winner CHARLOTTE REEVES. (A third and distant candidate is independent Ivory Phillips, a black woman.) The other wonder of this election is that though Jackson has a black majority, race has not been a dominant factor...
...capital city, the 5,000-member militia expanded into the city center, taking over the country's TV and radio broadcasting headquarters. People evacuated from Brazzaville report a city run amuck with looters and vigilante gunmen. "Women were standing by watching and laughing," recalled American missionary Joseph Harvey. "It was like a party...
