...seen the pattern of infection as it travels from husband to wife to lover. Fifty of Kyotera's leading businessmen are dead. The streets are filling with homeless orphans, the offspring of AIDS victims in outlying areas. Josephine, racked by fevers, chronic diarrhea, throat lesions and a painful itching rash that covers her chest and arms, now passes her days sitting listlessly on a straw mat outside her house, waiting...
...each step forward seems to be offset by disappointing setbacks. Since Duvalier fled and the dreaded Tonton Macoutes disbanded, large pockets of the Haitian countryside have degenerated into lawlessness. Contraband flowing into the country has fueled a rash of burglaries, arson attacks and murders. After all of Haiti's ports were reopened last fall, illegal rice from Miami hit the market, undercutting local farmers. Inevitably a battle erupted between farmers and profiteering smugglers that has yet to quiet. "Smuggling is unfortunately the No. 1 growth industry in Haiti," says a Western diplomat.

...wrestled with its own problems. The capture of Hamadei, who is wanted in the U.S. for the hijacking and the murder of Navy Diver Robert Stethem, seemed to have led to the kidnaping of the two West Germans in Beirut two weeks ago and helped set off the recent rash of abductions.

By this act it has been shorn of all past claims of being democratic and antifascist." Juan Ponce Enrile, the ambitious former Defense Minister who was sacked by Aquino after the November coup attempt, also pounced on the President. "It is about time...
...fourth race, he continued with a roar. Never really threatened, Conner pulled off a "horizon job" -- meaning the leader is all but out of sight. The hard-pressed New Zealand had a rash of problems, from gear failures to a ripped mainsail, that left it limping in, a stunned 3:38 behind. "Disastrous," said Dickson. "Everything broke and went wrong." Conner ended the week needing only one victory to clinch the challenger's berth in the finals, while the dispirited Kiwis had to win three. If the draper succeeds, next week he will face either his old nemesis, Perth Millionaire...
