Luke, I have taught you many things, my boy. Don't tell shaggy Wookie stories, for one thing. Also, always be on the lookout for a hot book property. While you were off chasing Princess Leia, Rusty Miller, 12, a junior high school student in Satellite Beach, Fla., came up with The Jedi Master's Quizbook, a compilation of 425 intergalactic questions that will have Yoda himself scratching his noggin. After seeing Star Wars five times and The Empire Strikes Back six, young Master Rusty spent three months compiling his collection, which his mother typed up. George Lucas...

He expected visibility problems when he rented a plane to shoot pictures of Oregon's Bald Mountain Lookout.

Portland Mayor Francis Ivancie, an enthusiastic booster of Graves' design, persuaded the council...

Last March, two former officers in Nkomo's Zipra forces-KGB-trained Dumiso Dubengwa, who served as intelligence chief, and ex-Deputy Commander Lookout Masuku-were arrested after Mugabe's men discovered large caches of arms and ammunition on property owned by Nkomo's ZAPU. About 1,200 onetime Zipra soldiers have deserted the nation's army, undermining the plan to unite the formerly warring factions into a single national force...
