...People Express becoming too ambitious for its own good? The question arises because the feisty discount carrier seems to be expanding everywhere all at once. People last week started service from its Newark hub to Atlanta and Dallas/Fort Worth, two of the most hotly competitive markets in the U.S., and announced plans to begin flying to Brussels in September. The moves follow forays over the past seven months into 13 other new cities, including Montreal and Fort Lauderdale.

Dr. Myron Essex of the Harvard School of Public Health believes that the virus may have originated in a species known as the African green monkey and spread to humans only in recent decades. Essex has found that about...
...Hagler's corner. But the doctor's brisk finding was that Marvin could see all right, and Goody Petronelli felt a strange sensation of calm. He and Pat first encountered Hagler when he walked softly into their gym in Brockton, Mass., as a 16-year-old, a child of Newark who happened to find himself living in Rocky Marciano's home town. They gave him a job with their construction company and a place to dream on the side. "Rocky and I grew up five miles apart. He was going to go in with us on the gym," says Goody...
