...sight is not much to look at. The Yugo is boxy and jut-jawed, sheer utility on four wheels, with a small 1,100 cc engine and no radio. Says Jonas Halperin, vice president of Yugo America: "For $3,990, you want air conditioning and automatic transmission...
Isles' testimony ended the state's case against Von Bulow, the jut-jawed Danish socialite who is charged with twice attempting to murder his multimillionaire wife Martha ("Sunny") von Bulow by injecting her with insulin. The prosecution, which called most of the same witnesses from the first trial, sought to prove that Von Bulow was motivated by the love of Alexandra and the money of Sunny.

In the streets of the Soviet capital, civilians stand patiently in long, dreary lines outside shops, as if wartime rationing were still in force, while above them huge 1930s-style posters show jut-jawed young men and women shouting slogans. Columns of army trucks filled with uniformed soldiers can sometimes be seen rumbling through city centers. There is even a military presence at soccer matches, when soldiers encircle the playing field to keep rowdy fans in order. Every town of any importance...
