...catholic for its newer, younger core audience. Kids, of course, need a music to call their own; they need music that speaks to them while it cruises over the heads of their elders, or, even better, turns them right off. "The sales today are going with hard rock," says Kal Rudman, publisher of Friday Morning Quarterback, an industry newsletter. "Heavy metal is doing well with sales and at concerts in the 14-to-18 age range. Rap is extremely big but is quite racial. That's doesn't mean white kids aren't into it, but it's pretty well...
...after United Airlines Flight 232 crash-landed in Sioux City, Iowa, killing 111 of its 286 passengers and crew, a Korean Air Lines DC- 10 carrying 199 people plowed into an olive grove near Tripoli, Libya. As was the case in Sioux City, a majority of those aboard the KAL flight survived, but as many as 80 were killed. The same day in Los Angeles a United DC-10 had another close call: though the pilot reported a hydraulic leak, he managed to bring in his plane without incident.

He cited the May 1987 engagement in which an Iraqi missile hit the U.S.S. Stark and killed 37 American seamen and the subsequent incidents in which the tanker Bridgeton and the U.S.S. Samuel B. Roberts, a frigate, were damaged...
...Franco (32 saves), is one of the best in the league. A possible Mario Soto comeback just might do it for the Reds. Last year, Soto finished the season at 3-2. Eric Davis and the rest of the Reds offense will score the runs. In 108 games, outfielder Kal Daniels hit 26 HR and batted .334. Best player: Davis...
