...made my conversation seem sparkling, music sound better, made me feel good," he recalls. It seemed a fountain of youth. He could beat his 19-year-old son in a three-mile run, and his sex life sizzled. "I could be the macho man I always dreamed about." Soon he was spending $1,000 a week, snorting two grams a day with only minutes between "toots." "Even when you drive, you can pour a little sniff on your hand," he says. After a year of cocaine use, Trop discovered freebasing, and the social highs turned insidiously antisocial. "In the beginning...
...were unopened, and no one was sure of their contents. When Lebanese President Amin Gemayel ordered his army's 8th Brigade into East Beirut in February to take over security functions from the Lebanese Forces, the Phalangist-led coalition of Christian militias, the troops managed the 2½-mile deployment without a hitch.

Hotels and condominiums are springing up almost everywhere, from the volcanic islands of the Antilles to the 100-mile-long stretch of hitherto virtually untouched barrier reef off the tiny Central American republic of Belize. Along with the vacationers has come a multitude of corporate enterprises: petrochemical plants, electronics factories, cement works. Attracted by special economic enticements and an eager labor force, industry now occupies or overlooks once pristine mangrove swamps...
...only bad film makers. When Screenwriter Richard DiLello and Director Rick Rosenthal made this year's film about the tough life of reform-school inmates, they determined to refer not to life but to all the other movies that have preceded them down melodrama's last mile. Sean Penn (memorable as the spaced-out surfer in last year's Fast Times at Ridgemont High) plays the youth who recognizes his own decency and sensitivity about two hours after the audience has been tipped to it. Penn is fine; so are most of his companions in misery...
