These students, on a mission from God, feel compelled to lambast any move to fight apartheid by the "establishment." Short of personally hiring a plane, flying to Pretoria, and splitting P. W.

Despite his deep sympathy for liberal causes, Browning may find it prudent to heed warning signals from a 1985 Gallup poll of Episcopalians.

"The vets were fed by a sense of duty," he says. "They wanted to come home and be heroes on their blocks. They're saying, 'We showed you we were worthy. We just want to be appreciated...
Lehman last week ordered tighter security procedures in all Navy units. Among other things, he reminded commanders to heed a requirement long on the books but often ignored: two persons must participate in the destruction of classified material. John Walker's son Michael is accused of filching classified documents out of a burn bag while serving as a seaman on the aircraft carrier Nimitz...
