Still, some clothiers are pussyfooting around the trend. In what may be a new high (or low) in fashion irony, Milan's Gianfranco Ferre is selling a real rabbit fur jacket for about $2,700. But it has been printed to look like leopard. It's hard for some of these cats to change their spots...
That laudable message has brought the show enthusiastic praise from mental- health experts and TV critics alike. It takes a real grouch to offer a dissent. But even nongrouches may squirm at the sugarcoating this subject has received. Except for a few taunting schoolmates, Corky is drenched in love and support. Life Goes On may have the highest hug-a-minute ratio of any show in TV history. His parents (Bill Smitrovich and Patti LuPone) are unfailingly wise and patient. Only his blunt younger sister (Kellie Martin) worries occasionally about being embarrassed by her brother in school...
...illegal exodus has been going on since May, when Hungary began clipping the barbed wire separating the East bloc from Austria. But nothing dramatized the crisis so vividly -- or posed the hard questions for East Germany so immediately -- as the swarm of tents packed with would-be emigres overflowing the embassy compound in Prague.

...mass departures was almost certainly occasioned by the approaching national anniversary. But the larger dilemma remains unresolved. New travel restrictions do not address the root causes of widespread popular disaffection in East Germany. "It's like taking an aspirin for a toothache," said a Western diplomat in Prague.

In Leipzig, 10,000 East Germans marched through the streets demanding change and shouting...
This winter may be bleaker than usual in the U.S.S.R. With cold weather fast approaching and an increasingly militant labor force threatening to paralyze the transportation system, supplies of food and fuel could be in jeopardy. Soviet leaders reacted with old-style authority by proposing sweeping emergency measures: a ban on all strikes for 15 months and deployment of troops to break an Azerbaijani blockade of Armenia. But after a dramatic all- night debate, legislators in the Supreme Soviet did what not so long ago was unthinkable. They rebuffed the strike proposal as "unconstitutional" and voted instead to put strict...
