...George Bush, and the dialogue is an S.J. Perelmanesque stream -- debased, obfuscatory and unconsciously self- condemning. Samples: "I wonder if I might ask the Senator to stop raking over dead horses"; "What did the President know, and does he have any idea that he knew it?" The lesson of recent scandals is both less and more alarming. If the bums are not thrown out, it is because an overly forgiving, or morally inert, American people allows them to stay...
...most of the fall, shooting of some kind is legal, and while I am willing to risk a peppering of bird shot, I don't want to be hulled by the antitank ammunition used for bear or moose (59 moose no longer menace us as the result of a recent three-day shooting season). So most of us stay out of the woods during the year's most beautiful season. Once, during deer season, I rounded a turn on a logging road while running with my dogs.

...government troops continued to break up the contras' support network in the provinces, and rebels staged sporadic attacks against the army. Now those occasional engagements could escalate. At least 2,000 contra guerrillas are inside Nicaragua, and there is little doubt that more have been infiltrating the country during recent weeks.

...area in northwestern Argentina where the bones were found. Smaller than Apatosaurus and less fearsome than Tyrannosaurus, this dinosaur flourished 230 million years ago during the unique period when most of the earth's landmasses were gathered into a single supercontinent, now called Pangea. Until the most recent find, only a smattering of Herrerasaurus bones had been unearthed. Now scientists will be able to look over the complete skeleton for important evolutionary clues. While Herrerasaurus is not the long sought common ancestor of all dinosaurs, notes Sereno, "it's close -- and maybe it's as close as we will ever...
...American-European Express, each refitted to five-star, died-and-went-to-heaven standards, will leave Washington's Union Station and roll into legend. The next morning at 10:17, some 50 cosseted passengers, dreamy from a night of love and laughter, aslosh with breakfasts that on a recent test run from Panama City, Fla., to Atlanta included crepes with crabmeat, followed by eggs, spinach, hollandaise sauce and baby lamb chops, will arrive at Chicago's Union Station...
