...Jonathan Lowe Tucson, Arizona, U.S. A Fan's Devotion Michael Elliott's essay "Hopelessly Devoted" [June 6], on being an obsessive fan of the Liverpool Football Club, reminded me of how it felt to be blindly devoted to a boy band. I had the group's posters hung all over the walls of my room when I was little and played their tapes over and over again. I never understood what they were singing about (the pain of being unable to get the love of a girl or how much it hurt to lose her), and the boy band disappeared...
...Mine Workers against the A.T. Massey Coal Co. Violence has become almost monotonous. In the latest incident, a midnight explosion last week rocked the three-story brick district headquarters of the U.M.W. in Pikeville, Ky., incidentally shattering a huge portrait of the late union leader John L. Lewis that hung on the wall. The strike has produced one death, hundreds of injuries and more than a thousand episodes of rock throwing, smashed windshields and punctured tires. Gunfire has been commonplace. Snipers killed a nonunion coal-truck driver, Hayes West, 35, in a convoy crossing Coeburn Mountain in late May. Gunfire...
...Imam, as Khomeini is now called, towers over Iran with all the power and prestige of Darius, one of the most famous of the pre-Islamic Persian kings.

WHOEVER FIGHTS AGAINST THE TRUTH SHALL BE DEFEATED is one such framed homily, hanging in the baggage hall...
...fenced the countryside, decorated islands and hung a curtain over a valley, but since 1976 Christo, 50, has dreamed especially of shrouding the bridge that crosses the western tip of the Ile de la Cité near the Left Bank's Latin Quarter in Paris. The $2.3 million project, which Christo pays for by selling his plans and sketches, will involve some 450 workers, including bargemen, rock climbers and crane operators, who will begin wrapping the Pont Neuf next month. "People will be obliged to walk on it," observes the Bulgarian-born artist. "I find it extremely poetic...
...they would carry out an agreement, signed earlier, that was aimed at improving air safety in the North Pacific, and thus avoiding a repetition of the Soviet downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 in 1983. Negotiations to resume direct air service between New York City and Moscow got hung up on technicalities like establishing proper ticketing procedures between Aeroflot and Pan Am, which were finally resolved later in the week. There was also an agreement to set up new consulates in New York and Kiev. More vaguely still, the two leaders expressed plans to "consult" on specific programs...
