Business & Pleasure. Chinese Cholon, which means "Great Market," is a six-sq.-mi. enclave of Asian enterprise. In its sprawling, pagodalike marketplace, hunks of meat hang in bloody rows under swarms of flies; withered crones stir their black iron stewpots with k'uai-tzu (chopsticks) while spidery men stagger past under shoulder poles bending to the weight of oil and rice-wine buckets. Over all beats the cacophony of commerce: the steamy hiss of sidewalk cooking kiosks, the piping cry of the noodle vendors, the clash of cymbals advertising the approach of the blind Chinese masseurs who ply their...
Search for Talent. In many ways, the home-town coverage for which it won its prize presents the biggest problems for the Times. With 4,800 sq. mi. of overlapping, interlocking governments, Los Angeles is a city editor's nightmare. To cover the sprawl, Metropolitan Editor Bill Thomas now assigns reporters to metropolitan-wide specialties-rapid transit, smog, property taxes. In its ceaseless search for talent, the Times has the hardest time locating competent copy editors, who are now in short supply across the nation. To fill the gap, the paper is about to embark on a program...
...enduring paradox of the Boston Marathon is that the doctors who give each entrant a physical exam before the race never bother to check his head.

It must-after 26 mi. 385 yds. of loping up and down hills, fighting leg cramps and nausea, cultivating blisters, dodging angry dogs and straining to hold out till the next comfort station. Such stoicism is plainly un-American-which explains why a foreigner has won every Patriot's Day marathon in almost...
...first act. Eleanor Edward's Donna Elvira was not the nuisance this role can be, in its hysterical comings and goings. Her voice, slightly warmer and more focused than Roll's, seemed edgy in the "Chimi di ce mai," but relaxed in the second act for a superb "Mi tradi...
Elsewhere, other elements of Operation Abilene fared better. As the operation concluded at week's end, units of the Big Red One, the Royal Australian Regiment and New Zealand Artillery Battalion counted a total of 59 enemy killed, 22 captured, and a 900-sq.-mi. area cleared of Viet Cong-at least for the time being. That left two major sweeps still in progress: Operation Nevada, a search-and-destroy mission by several U.S. Marine battalions in the Cape Batagan Peninsula, which has so far killed 42 Viet Cong, and Operation Fillmore, a sweep through Phu Yen province...
