...visit has been extremely successful so far, almost to the point of overload," said Deborah Welsh, treasurer of the Cambridge-Yerevan Sister City Association. "I expect there might be several contacts made for further joint trade or joint ventures, such as maybe joint hospital research...
...Summer Olympics provided something less than the thrill of victory. Critics complained that the coverage was uninspired, viewers groused about commercial overload, and ratings were a major disappointment. The prime- time audience averaged 16.9% of total households (compared with 23.2% for the 1984 Los Angeles Games), falling far short of projections and virtually wiping out the network's expected profits. So it came as a surprise last week when NBC took an Olympic high dive once again, spending a record $401 million for the TV rights to the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona...
Union doesn't fit snugly into the background and doesn't much sound like the sort of fleet pop that coasts effortlessly onto the charts. The record, superbly crafted, turns each of its nine rock songs into a face-off with emotional overload.

...deadly marine impact of nitrogen, mainly from fertilizer runoff, sewage and animal wastes, has been recognized for years. But the E.D.F. study is the first to pinpoint acid rain as an important source of coastal pollution. Any overload of nitrogen feeds marine algae, which bloom into vast growths that block sunlight and deplete the oxygen supply, smothering fish and crustaceans.

The proposed solution: tighter...
Critics accuse Koch of giving away the government to political bosses and giving away Manhattan to developers. Koch has coddled builders with tax breaks while their towering, ego-driven projects block out the sun, overload already groaning services and paralyze traffic. Celebrities like Jacqueline Onassis, Henry Kissinger and Paul Newman have joined hundreds of West Side residents in protests against skyscrapers proposed by Builders Donald Trump and Mortimer Zuckerman. Bowing to public pressure, Zuckerman has offered to scale down his 68-story tower, which would cast shadows across Central Park. NBC has backed away from Trump's proposed Television City...
