...People are poorly trained for marriage today,'' says Joyce Clark, a coordinator for Retrouvaille in Youngstown, Ohio. From her 34-year marriage she recognizes all the stages of matrimony: romance, casual irritation, (he doesn't put the toilet seat down; she stays on the phone too long), then total disillusionment. "This is when many couples decide to bail out. They don't realize that they can still work back to romance,'' says Clark, who suffered through five years of misery after discovering her husband Pat had had an affair. Then she and Pat attended a Retrouvaille weekend and learned...
Denver was, in effect, a licensed franchise. Cleveland, Ohio, on the other hand, was a branch operation. In June 1992, Q allegedly entrusted the city to another suspected Crip from Los Angeles, Carl Lavar Lee, 27--called ``M.J.'' for his resemblance to Michael Jackson. For about the next 112 years, the FBI believes, Lee's Cleveland operation--and a direct subsidiary in Milwaukee, Wisconsin--handled as much as 10 kilos of Los Angeles cocaine a month. And then around February 1993, investigators believe Q sent representatives--Terry (``Kit'') Cooper and Derrick (``Book'') Slaughter--into the Pacific Northwest...
...budget with a scant $80 billion deficit reduction over the next five years, a gesture that told the Republicans they were on their own.

But whatever complaints he may have about government, he nonetheless has spent his entire career on the public payroll. (``I'm going to end up in the private sector,'' he vows. ``At some point, I'm out of this.'') His first job after graduating from college in 1974 was as an aide in the state senate, and within four years he had won a seat there...
...ceiling fan. The slight (5 ft. 6 in., 125 lbs.), quiet, bespectacled sophomore at the University of Michigan is described by classmates as gentle, conscientious and introverted. His high school librarian, his 4-H adviser, the mother of the children for whom he baby-sat in Boardman, Ohio, all stand ready to attest to his moral fitness. At the university, where he majors in linguistics, he maintained a 3.2 average. Until two weeks ago, he'd never been accused of harming anyone. "I don't like stepping on insects," he says...
