...American honorable mention for collegiate sailing--an award given to only two freshmen in the entire country--and for the past three years he has either been first or second in the country in contests like the United States Youth Championships, the National Sports Festival, and the Laser World Qualifying Regatta. In 1978, he was selected to participate in the United States Olympic Developmental Training Clinic in Squaw Valley, California--an honor given to only the country's brightest Olympic hopes...
...festivities will begin on the weekend before the swearing-in. On Saturday night, 10,000 rockets will be shot off in a 14-minute fireworks extravaganza at Lincoln Memorial; laser beams will link other monuments. That same day George Bush and his family will be wel comed by Texas Governor Wil liam Clements at a "black-tie and boots" reception. On Sun day, there will be two candle light dinners and four concerts at the Kennedy Center, featuring Dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, Pianist Rudolf Serkin, and Conductor Mstislav Rostropovich leading the National Symphony Orchestra. Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush will toast...
...came up with the safety pin or the Ford. But reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.

Several states, including Utah, Arizona and Wyoming, have passed resolutions laying claim to their federal land, and Nevada is planning to sue the Department of Interior and the Bureau of Land Management to win the rights...
...fall of a London band (bearing many resemblances to X-Ray Spex), with street-found star Hazel O'Connor as leader of the idealistic group. She self-promotes on subways, takes on gigs at skinhead pubs and political rallies, and ends up with record contract and sold-out laser light shows. Phil Daniels, star of last year's Quad-rophenia, plays the little manager who gets squeezed out by the big label but retains his integrity. Breaking Glass gets the dynamic concert finish, with electric costumes and tight-tuned music (penned by O'Connor), but it is unfortunate that...
