...called 88 Generation Students for staging street protests against government price hikes. These protests inspired the mass demonstrations led by Burma's monks, which captured the world's imagination a month later. Jimmy is still in jail.

...sound dreaded by sleep-starved parents around the world: the piercing wail of a newborn demanding immediate attention. Yet last week all Japan seemed to be hanging on the phone to hear an infant shriek. The sound comes from a baby panda born June 1 at Tokyo's Ueno Zoo.

Two days earlier, by a 5-to-3 vote, the court restricted the Government's attempt to police the quality of medical care received by severely handicapped infants. Striking down the Administration's controversial ''Baby Doe'' regulations, the Justices ruled that the Department of Health and Human Services had no authority to pressure hospitals to treat handicapped newborns without parental consent. Solicitor General Charles Fried, who last summer argued the Administration's case for upholding the Pennsylvania law, stood...
