...Readers of the National Enquirer (circ. 4.1 million) and its bitter rival Star magazine (3.6 million) know what the real news is. DOLLY PARTON GETS GIANT NEW BUST IMPLANTS!, shrieked a recent issue of the Star, while the Enquirer offered a must-read yarn headlined ED MCMAHON FLIES INTO RAGE. For 16 years the dueling scandal sheets brought blood-and-guts drama to U.S. supermarket checkout counters. But the publishing pugilism came to an end last week when the owner of the National Enquirer, New York City-based G.P. Group, agreed to buy the Star from media mogul Rupert Murdoch...
When U.S. Air Force flyers dumped millions of gallons of an oily herbicide called Agent Orange over the thick jungle canopy of war-ravaged Viet Nam, they unwittingly started a battle that would rage long after the last American helicopter left Saigon. Over the past 13 years, some 35,000 Viet Nam veterans have vigorously pressed Washington to compensate them for injuries and illnesses that they believe were caused by exposure to Agent Orange.

And what does it all have to do with starvation in Ethiopia, anyway? Yet, thanks to the peculiar economics of the direct-mail business, a heart that bleeds only sporadically and selectively is worse than a heart that doesn't bleed...
...were too late. Most of the partygoers, who were on the low-ceilinged second level, where there were no windows or exits, stampeded toward two narrow stairways. The main door on the ground floor was blocked by flames. The only window was barred. Feliciano, the target of Gonzalez's rage, and four others ran to a seldom-used second door, where they forced open a gate to become the only known survivors...
