SUBSCRIBER SUPPORT FOR the edition has resulted in both more and less each year: more pages of "tasteful pictures" and less swimsuit. Though it may not be the issue here, Sports Illustrated's loyal subscribers are as much to blame as are the magazine's editors for the fact that the magazine's little touch of Hustler has continued for 23 years. Readers write in to say that the swimsuit issue brings them warmth in the midst of winter. More likely, it saves them a trip out to the drugstore...
California's obsession with campaign cash is compounded by the growth of so- called transfers, money controlled by legislative leaders and doled out to loyal supporters. Though both parties employ the system, by far the biggest transfers trove belongs to Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, a Democrat, who raised $4.2 million in contributions that he could use in his own or other 1984 campaigns. Brown pumped nearly $1.2 million of that bundle into 14 other races, making the powerful speaker California's largest single political contributor.

Less than a week earlier, 350 died when troops loyal to President Amin Gemayel defeated a militia force headed by Elias Hobeika, who fled to Paris and then to Damascus.

The accord was signed by leaders of Lebanon's Druze and Shi'ite Muslim militias and even by Hobeika, but was turned down...
...that money fails to persuade enough voters to remain loyal to his cause, Marcos now has another powerful weapon in his arsenal: his running mate, Tolentino. A 37-year veteran of Philippine politics and one of the country's leading experts on constitutional law, Tolentino is a popular vote getter who could boost the K.B.L. turnout in the critical metropolitan Manila area, his home district. In the 1984 parliamentary elections, he was the only K.B.L. candidate to win a seat in the city of Manila. An outspoken critic of the Marcos regime, Tolentino has called for the President's resignation...
