...pettiness of spirit and smallness of mind in a teen's view of adult authority. Jones provides John Hughes with the comic mainspring he needs to launch himself successfully in a new direction. In The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, Hughes portrayed adolescent angst in a fairly realistic light. But from the moment Ferris turns to the camera to address the audience, we know that realism is out. Ferris and his adventures represent a teen's dream of glory: to have, at one's fingertips, the technical skills to sabotage the adult world's machinery of oppression...
...TIME learned last week that Sepulveda has a record of arrests for drunk driving, and had been through a ''substance abuse'' treatment program. Though he downplays these problems, Sepulveda says, ''I do think that Loma Linda had good reasons to turn us down.'' Another ethical issue was brought to light by the Baby Jesse case: the growing role of the media in determining who gets organs.

...decoy.'' At present the paraphernalia needed to produce these beams is so large that it would be impossible to put in orbit as a fighting machine. Once the real warheads have been identified, they could be targeted for kill by laser weapons, intense beams of light that could destroy a Soviet missile or warhead by burning through its skin or, in a pulsating version, by hitting it with a sledgehammer-type blow. SDI scientists have been exploring the merits of deploying several types of laser weapons in space. Chemical lasers, generated by the reaction of gases such as hydrogen...

Last week evidence came to light that suggested Noriega's reputation is well deserved. Relying on U.S. intelligence reports, both the New York Times and NBC News detailed charges that the military strongman is involved in smuggling drugs and weapons, laundering money and selling U.S. intelligence secrets to Cuba. Most damning, Noriega, who as commander of Panama's armed forces essentially runs the country, was linked to the September 1985 murder of Dr. Hugo Spadafora, a leading...
...getting the right voters to travel to the meeting site. The Georgia gathering figured to be the anti- Fundamentalists' last and best hope, since moderate Southern Baptists are concentrated in the coastal region between Washington and Atlanta. But Rogers won 54.2% of the vote, not too surprising in light of a poll issued by anti- Fundamentalists revealing that 88% of Southern Baptists in ten states agreed that ''the Bible is the inspired word of God and contains no errors.'' The issue that divided the meeting was not what Southern Baptists believe. In fact, the losing candidate, Pastor W. Winfred Moore...
