...hurt and controversy, and setting out on a new course. "I'll ride the wave/ Where it takes me," Vedder sings, imagining he is singing to his lost father, dreaming that he is uniquely himself but still somehow an amalgam of his father and his past. "I'll hold the pain/ Release me." It's a healthy attitude in a music genre ruled by high school passions. If he keeps it, the dropout who became a rock star may be ready for the head of the class...
...local agencies. The key question: whether the nuptials would violate antitrust standards. While the deliberations will probably last until the middle of next year, the deal came under immediate fire from Howard Metzenbaum, the Ohio Democrat who chairs the antitrust panel of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Metzenbaum vowed to hold hearings and denounced the proposed combination as a ''megamonster'' that could overcharge consumers. Perhaps the biggest question of all last week was why the tough-as-nails Malone, 52, long regarded as the undisputed king of cable, would agree to sell TCI and assume the lesser role of vice chairman...
...that someone, someday, really does discover a defensive technology that diminishes the advantage of offense. A serious, sustained research program is not a bargaining chip and should not be used as one.

...launch boosters were firing.) If all those suggestions sound eminently reasonable, they could also prove highly costly and time consuming. A task seemingly as simple as testing the boosters vertically, for example, might require that two years and $20 million be devoted to building a structure that could securely hold the bottom of the 149-ft.-tall rockets some 80 ft. above the ground. Landing the shuttle in California means spending $1 million for each return to the Florida launch site. In past years, the report says, the unrealistic flight schedules NASA had proposed had never been adequately funded...
...latest siege of violence or lead to even greater disorder. The extreme show of force was part of a new, nationwide state of emergency declared by the beleaguered government of State President P.W. Botha. The decree gives South African security forces unprecedented powers to make arrests without charge, hold detainees without hearings for unlimited periods, search any home or office without warrant, ban meetings and impose press censorship. Police and troops were given authority to use whatever force they deem necessary to break up illegal gatherings, and cannot be taken to court in any criminal or civil prosecution for actions...
