...deceptively cherubic man of 58, Jimmy Kruger is a traditional Afrikaner puritan, the product of a farming family and a correspondence-course college education. As Justice Minister, he seems to enjoy the diversion of cracking down on Sunday movies, which are technically illegal under South Africa's blue laws. Himself the father of two sons (his wife Susanna is the author of a book of essays), he often speaks of his country's race problems in unabashedly paternalistic tones. "Anarchy-that's what the children of Soweto want," he told a local newspaper. "And if their parents...
What is next? "Are we headed in the direction where a woman can sue the police department if she is raped, screams and no one comes?" asks Walton. Shadoan thinks the trend in tort law-toward no-fault auto, product liability and medical malpractice insurance-may block that next step. He points to Great Britain, where "if you get raped, you get medical care and a government payment. Damage suits will soon be a relic of the past." Many lawyers are betting it will never happen...
...trees last year and an anticipated 100,000 elms this summer by the Elm Research Institute of Harrisville, N.H., early test results indicate that Lignasan is 99% effective when used preventively-before the disease strikes-on healthy trees. But many plant scientists refuse to endorse the product until they know more about proper dosages, duration of protection and the chemical's effectiveness when used without other preventive measures-such as insect control and prompt, careful pruning or removal of blighted elms. Just as cautiously, Du Pont emphasizes that Lignasan is only an aid for controlling the disease...

There, in a hole in the wall called the Spa, William Silverman, a shrewd merchant, began selling the already popular cultured-milk product in a frozen version and soon attracted long lines of blue-jeaned teeny-boppers and J. Pressed Harvard men. The lines are still there. From the Spa, frozen yogurt leapfrogged to Manhattan's trendy Bloomingdale's, and is now well on its way to the South and West...
...make the frozen product, yogurt and stabilizers, plus any of dozens of flavors, are mixed in soft-ice cream machines (sales of which have been running 35% ahead of last year). Ten minutes later, a thick, soft, creamy swirl appears. Since the different brands-of yogurt that go into the machine vary greatly, so do the creamy swirls. Certain bacteria known as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophi-lus are essential to the yogurt culture, yet there is no federal standard for the bacterial count. If the yogurt is pasteurized, as it sometimes is, the bacteria are killed. Freezing inhibits their...
