...also necessary to navigate past a barrier of armed bodyguards. "D'Aubuisson sees Communists under the bed, on the table, when he's awake and in his dreams," Duarte says. "His theory that the tragedy of El Salvador will be resolved by total war is pure demagoguery." Duarte does not enter into dialogue. He carries on a monologue. He represents, in Latin America, the most progressive trend of the Christian Democratic line. "An exclusively military solution to the war does not exist. It will have to be negotiated. But first we must fortify democracy, which is still...
...bumps were tiny deposits of almost pure cholesterol that had accumulated under the child's skin. They are a classic sign of severe familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic defect that leads to a tremendous buildup of cholesterol in the blood. One out of every 500 Americans suffers from a moderate form of this disorder, but Stormie was among the one in a million whose genetic makeup produces an extreme variety.

In Florida, standing in a grove of winter-ravaged oranges, Mondale conceded that Senator Edward Kennedy had refused to endorse him; at that moment, the once invincible candidate seemed an authentic underdog. Hart, meanwhile, was using the words "future" and "new" over and over again. The candidate of youth...
...intrigued and defied the efforts of such talented screenwriters and directors as Harold Pinter, Luchino Visconti and Peter Brook. For 22 years Producer Nicole Stephane could not get anyone to complete a film based on Marcel Proust's seven-volume Remembrance of Things Past. Then, "motivated by pure altruism," German Director Volker Schlŏndorff (The Tin Drum), 44, agreed to "jump on the sinking vessel to try to save it." He focused on a single vignette from the book. English Actor Jeremy Irons, 35, and Italian Screen Siren Ornella Muti, 28, signed to play Swann and the courtesan...
