...Easter week of vacationing on the beach, Dominicans returned to work Monday to find that the government had sharply raised the prices on most of their basic foods. Bread rolls went up to 5? from 2½?, milk from 45? a quart to 55?, sugar from 26? per lb. to 31?. Several opposition groups immediately organized demonstrations across the country to protest the increases, which were instituted under the government's new austerity program. But their protests rapidly got out of control...
Perhaps the most tangled case of 1984 Olympic eligibility is that of a tiny teenager, 5-ft. 2-in., 82-lb. Zola Budd. The 17-year-old may be the fastest female middle-distance runner in the world, but she is having a tough time proving it officially.

...fire the minijets on his MMU to match Max's spin of one revolution every 6 min. Using a trunnion-pin attachment device (TPAD), a hollow canister-shaped mechanism strapped like a huge belly button to the chest of his suit, Nelson would gently bump the 5,000-lb. satellite's protruding trunnion pin (installed for just such a rescue).

...gregarious Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Fish and Wildlife and Parks shy about his enthusiasm for life in the outdoors. As he showed a visitor around his office, he sported a tie decorated with kangaroos and held in place by an elephant clasp. His 260-lb. frame was partially cloaked by a casual cardigan sweater adorned with a pin that said DUCKS. Says Arnett: "I like the camaraderie of hunting. I like sleeping in tents and sleeping bags. I like the smell of horse manure and horses. If I happen to get a deer, I'm delighted...
