...mystery, more even than random terror. The Tylenol murders had the true Kafkaesque quality of a nightmare become real, of vague dreads taking on form and solidity in cold daylight. Such thoughts gripped Americans last week as poison scares spread around the nation, seemingly promising leads dissolved, and the hunt for the person who had put the cyanide into capsules of Extra-Strength Tylenol that killed seven people in the Chicago area two weeks ago made little progress...
...Swedish naval officers aboard a motorboat chugging through the waters near a naval base on Musk Island, about 30 miles south of Stockholm, glimpsed a periscope flashing through the waves. The alert quickly went out that a foreign submarine was lurking in Swedish waters, and within hours the hunt was on. Throughout last week, dozens of ships and helicopters swept back and forth across Hars Bay, dropping depth charges to try to bring the mystery sub to the surface. "We don't intend to pat it on the back or just follow it out to sea," vowed Rear Admiral...
...JACKSON really just plays with our minds--confusing us and setting up glaring contrasts to make his point. He does this most effectively in a wonderfully emotional song about "Real Men"--a group for whom he has little affection. ("You know why real men like to hunt?"

Last year Hunt hoarded background information he gleaned from Budget Director David Stockman, while Woodruff tried vainly for days to get Stockman to return her phone calls. Says she: "People...
...wilds of Washington, D.C., he has often seemed more hunted than hunter. In his native Wyoming for the annual One-Shot Antelope Hunt near the town of Lander, Secretary of the Interior James Watt was the happy warrior at home on the range. Six three-member teams competed, each hunter limited to a single shot. As the dawn mist rose off the Sweetwater River, Watt took aim through his telescopic sight at an antelope 150 yds. away. The animal loped off to the left; Watt's shot was wide. "Most of you think that I can shoot the eyes...
