...help other women do the same. That typically involves some kind of journey, often a literal one. For Jennifer Wright, a divorced assistant professor of occupational therapy in Indianapolis, Ind., the epiphany came seven years ago, when she was 46 and on an intense four-day backpacking adventure in Nevada with her 21-year-old son. Up to that point, she says, women like her "may have been spending a good deal of our life taking care of everyone else. We come to the place where we say, 'It's my turn.' If women get there, they get there with...
...been served with her chili in San Jose, Calif. The ghastly publicity, which has cost the restaurant chain an estimated $1 million a day, eased a bit last week when the supposed finger finder was arrested for trying to shake down the fast-food giant. Anna Ayala, 39, a Nevada resident with a history of suing companies and settling before trial, dropped a lawsuit against Wendy's two weeks ago as investigators zeroed in on her. The coroner's office said the 1.5-in.-long appendage had not been cooked like the chili (at 170º for three hours), and police...
According to some Philippine opposition leaders, the violence was an outgrowth of the regime's new get-tough policy, which is seen as a response to the visit to Manila two weeks ago of U.S. Senator Paul Laxalt.

Laxalt held two meetings with the Philippine leader. At one of them, the U.S. legislator passed along a three-page letter from President Reagan outlining his personal worries about the local situation. As a Laxalt aide recalled last week, Marcos was the first to mention presidential elections, only to reject the idea. By the second meeting, according to the aide, Marcos had changed his mind, at least in principle, and had become "enthusiastic" about...
Draconian measures may also be in store for an area reaching well beyond Arizona. Six other states (Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada and California) fall inside the Colorado River basin. Under an agreement reached in 1922, each state is entitled to a portion of the river's waters. Arizona's share was set at 2.8 million acre-feet, roughly one-fifth of the Colorado's flow. Because it lacked transporting capacity, however, the state has used less than half of its legal entitlement, allowing California to take much of the remainder. The CAP's new flow will thus...
