...would say, that confession. A few years ago, for example, Chicago Correspondent Richard Woodbury, who reported on the move to the countryside in the Midwest, fled his native New York for the open skies of Colorado, where he worked on a small newspaper in the remote city of Grand Junction. Woodbury returns there frequently when Windy City life begins to pall. In the same spirit, Manhattan-based Reporter-Researcher Sarah Button regularly retreats to her family home, a farm in Delaware. For Reporter-Researchers Peggy Berman and Susanne Washburn, who also worked on the story, happiness is the hills...
...have been withdrawn. The full extent of South African assistance may never be known. Before the pullback, South Africans kept popping up in the strangest places, on the remotest roads. Last week it was different. 'You see,' quipped a UNITA guide on a walk through the railroad junction of Lumege, 'there are no white Angolans up here.' As it happened, if the 'white Angolans'-UNlTA's euphemism for the South Africans-had been around, Lumege might not have fallen the next...
...Lebanon's best-known political leaders, Maronite Christian Camille Chamoun and Druze Kamal Jumblatt. Last week, in retaliation for a rightist Christian attack on a Palestinian refugee camp at Dbayeh, leftist and Druze militiamen, led by fedayeen officers, laid siege to Damur, an important road junction and rightist stronghold. For five days it was shelled by mortars and rockets. TIME Beirut Bureau Chief Karsten Prager visited the town after the shelling and house-to-house fighting ended. His report...
...front mobile homes on concrete blocks, set alone, and the decaying industrial cities like Amsterdam on the Mohawk River, where the carpet factory that bred the place is definitely not taking care of its own anymore, which shows. Outside of these towns like Herkimer and Fultonville sit grand junction-type Dutch mansions, propped-up and naked-looking, simple and sensible roosts for burghers long dead, and often no one lives in them anymore. And Canajahorie, where Mary Ann Krupsak comes from, where three toy factories line up in a row Beechnut Gum, Beechnut Lifesavers, Beechnut Baby Food. This town...
...Soviet rockets turned away the Zaïre-based F.N.L.A. forces ten miles north of Luanda, thereby putting the M.P.L.A. capital safely out of range of Chinese 130-mm. artillery manned by white Portuguese Angolans fighting with the F.N.L.A. The M.P.L.A. also recaptured the important road junction of Caxito, northeast of Luanda, and was closing in on the coastal city of Ambriz, which has been a vital supply center for the F.N.L.A. At the same time, the northward thrust of a combined F.N.L.A.-UNITA force, spearheaded by mechanized armor, was stopped along the coast, 150 miles south of Luanda. Slowed...
