...Marielito drug dealer. Despite that land of negative image, the honest Cubans working hard in their new home seem to have faith that the true picture of the Marielitos will emerge. "The spirit of the Cuban boat people has not been beaten," says Cuban Artist Alberto de Lama. "They are not an amorphous mass. They are a much suffering people, with deep fears, desperate hopes and dreams of freedom."

The Rock Hound Shop offers fossils and crystals. Campers buy heavy iron skillets, lightweight canteens and water-purifying tablets; ranchers buy lousefly killer, sheep-branding liquid and cow vaccine...
Gently rolling, woodsy Dunn, Wis. (pop. 4,965), could never pass for Shangrila. But the karma was fabulous there last week, thanks to a visit by the Dalai Lama, 46, the exiled leader of Tibet's Buddhists. Some 1,500 pilgrims arrived in a caravan of black-and-yellow school buses at the town's 13-acre Deer Park Buddhist Center. The occasion: the spectacular Kalachakra, the wheel-of-time ceremony that all but guarantees participants nirvana.
