García has been less surefooted in dealing with the relentless but ragtag Shining Path insurgency, which has killed more than 6,000 in five years. To weaken the rebels, he has promised new economic aid to the poverty-stricken Andean region where they are based, and created a Peace Commission to establish a dialogue with their leaders. Though it is by no means clear that government programs are responsible, military officials last week reported "a certain tranquillity" in the eleven-province emergency zone in which the guerrillas are most active...
Like a storybook character, the humblest wild-card team followed the thorniest of al1 the play-off routes, a treacherous path that wound through New Jersey (the Jets) and Los Angeles (the Raiders) before coming out at Miami's impregnable Orange Bowl. Since 1966, the Pats had opposed the Dolphins there 18 times and won exactly never.

...Moeller farm on Mormon Island, Neb., lies right in the path of the central flyway, a great avian migratory route that runs from central Mexico to eastern Siberia.

With the aid of a central computer in Wisconsin, applicants are being assigned precise places and given directions how to get there. The goal will be to hold hands for 15 minutes, singing We Are the World, America the Beautiful and Hands Across America. The proceeds will be disbursed to local housing, food and job programs by a private foundation aided by two advisory boards...
...teasers for the real product: packages of booklets and tape cassettes that explain in more detail how to start from scratch in real estate. At about $300 and up, these home-study courses have earned millions of dollars for the gurus and probably started a few graduates on the path to success. But many mortgage lenders and real estate brokers, irritated by shaky financing schemes proposed to them by the no-money-down graduates, think the preachers make it look much too easy.
