...also has a problem with the deejays. "The Top 40 stations won't play it," says Rudman, even though some rap (by Tone Loc, Run-D.M.C., L.L. Cool J and the all-white Beastie Boys, among others) has busted through onto the upper regions of the pop charts. Not all the young action is rap, though. Ziggy Marley, one of Bob's band of children, has got the gift and, to go with it, a light way with carrying a heavy torch. On One Bright Day, the new album he made with the Melody Makers (his younger brother Stephen...
...planes raced across the Channel to defend the departing soldiers, who often had to stand in water up to their necks while machine-gun bullets spattered around them. A paddle-wheel steamer, Fenella, took aboard 600 soldiers, then was hit by a bomb. Most of the survivors were evacuated onto another paddle steamer, Crested Eagle, but a dive bomber set it afire, and most of the men aboard perished.

...shoemaker's fortunes rely heavily on advertising. Nike's theme, "Just Do It," which urges would-be customers to get off their couches and onto their exercise bicycles, has been widely praised. But Reebok's recent "Let U.B.U." ad campaign, which starred eccentric characters in surrealistic situations, was considered a bust. All the major manufacturers have hired celebrity pitchmen. Nike pays multitalented pro athlete Bo Jackson to sell its cross- trainer shoe, and Joan Benoit Samuelson to advertise its running line. L.A.
