...border; Red Crescent ambulances raced by with wounded in the back. Scores of Russian T-62 tanks and artillery were dug in on ridges. Every so often the troops would turn up their transistor radios, and the sounds of popular Arabic songs brought smiles to tough expressions. The litter of empty shell casings stacked neatly by buildings showed that, when there had been fighting, it had been fierce, quick, terrible...

Burdened with cheap imitations of every kind of TV stereotype, weighed down by bathroom jokes, locker-room laughs and sick dialogue, Tunnelvision never takes off from the swampy ground it starts...

Kodak's is a dry-to-the-touch, litter-free process, unlike earlier "wet" Polaroid systems that produced sticky prints after sensitized paper was peeled off and discarded.

...Grant store in Jamaica, Queens, a borough of New York City, is typical. In one day last week, hundreds of customers picked over stacks of bedspreads, curtains and fabrics, overturning racks and pulling merchandise from display windows. Litter left behind keeps a night cleanup crew busy. "We can't control it," says Manager Bill Gebbart. "It's a disaster." But not for sales. Normally, the store rang up $5,000 in business during a typical day; now, says Gebbart, it is doing ten times that...
