...Bruce Springsteen become America's rockin' role model? Critic Dave Marsh, a member of Springsteen's inner circle, suggests that he was driven to it by two haunting figures, Elvis Presley and Ronald Reagan. One a hero gone wrong, the other an antagonist, both taught the Boss a lesson about the hazards of being isolated and uninformed. After Reagan was elected, the Boss traded romantic fantasy for a gritty populism and gave birth to Born in the U.S.A., his heavyweight album about everything from Viet Nam to dying hometowns. In this overlong account, Marsh purveys no dressing-room scandal -- apparently...
Since he retired from the military in 1981, Roh has held several posts in Chun's Cabinet. From 1984 to 1986 he was chairman of the Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee. But until recently, his nomination for the presidency was by no means assured. Within Chun's inner circle, Roh vied for power with Prime Minister Lho Shin Yong and Chang Se Dong, head of the Agency for National Security Planning, successor to the KCIA. Of the three, Chang, also a former general, seemed to wield the most power. But two weeks ago, both Chang and Lho were knocked...

But she was driven to try acting for at least a while, because it might be her last chance...
...charge could not have let alone the famed "21" burger is beyond imagining. It now arrives atop a slice of grilled country bread, and embedded in the burger is a big knob of green herb butter, a touch that adds flavor -- and cholesterol. The butter also prevents the inner meat from remaining truly rare. In much the same way, Rosenzweig should have let well enough alone with the rice pudding, one of the few really good things on the old list. New desserts are still uneven; better additions include ice cream glazed in the style of creme brulee, a crunchy...
...From their experiments with gliders, the Wrights learned to control flight by wingwarping: tilting one wing up while bending the other down compensated for the unbalancing effect of the wind. The mechanical principle and its realization became clear to Wilbur one day while he was idly twisting a long inner-tube box. A historian would later equate the importance of this incident with Newton's observation of a falling apple. Biographer Howard is more restrained and more engaging when he attributes the insight to a "genius for the tactile" born of long experience handling wood, cloth and metal...
