Come Friday nights, the boisterous gang congregates at the neighboring bars, the Hawaiian, the Whistle Stop or the Red Lion (a pseudo pub), to swap leg- pulling tales and practice one-upmanship by inventing sidesplitter headlines. Billy Burt, editor of the Examiner, proffers the classic example of HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR as the quintessence of a tabloid art form. Balfour opts for convolution: THE TOASTER POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL or, better, THE DOG THAT SHOT ITS OWNER. All voice serious concern that unimaginative headlines -- GIRL, 11, BECOMES GRANDMOTHER -- are replacing zany eye-catchers -- CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS USED MAP PREPARED...
Since Marcos was ousted in 1986, Aquino's government has tried to recover the $10 billion that it claims Marcos stole from the country.

Already facing lawsuits from the crash, Northwest has other worries as well. The carrier is one of 15 airlines facing possible Federal Aviation Administration fines totaling nearly $6.5 million for alleged breaches of safety and security rules. The roster includes United ($1.26 million), Hawaiian ($1.17 million), Continental ($982,130), Eastern ($893,500), Braniff ($518,000), American ($421,250) and Northwest ($371,000).

United says it was trying to solve a vibration problem...

Everything seemed normal aboard Flight 243 last Thursday afternoon when suddenly -- with a whoosh like a paper bag popping -- a gaping hole blew open in the fuselage directly above the first- class compartment. "Everything was flying around -- books, papers, money," said Stanford Samson, a passenger seated nearby. "A stewardess was in the aisle being pulled toward the hole. Everybody who could grabbed her and held onto...
Miami Bureau Chief Cristina Garcia, who visited Florida's Disney World to interview its "cast members," as Disney employees are called, was struck by their youthful enthusiasm. "For everyone from Eisner to the Hawaiian Hot Dog vendors, Disney is not just a 9-to-5 job. It's a way of life. Ultimately, it's also a way of prolonging all of our childhoods." Senior Writer Richard Corliss, who wrote the accompanying story on the enduring appeal of Disney characters, agrees with that view. He saw his first Disney film, Alice in Wonderland, at the age of seven...
