...rather than trying to rein in Stalin and his rampaging Red Army, Roosevelt and Churchill made what they considered minor concessions. They did not insist that Soviet military forces be withdrawn from Eastern Europe. Instead they settled for a vague commitment by the three powers to promote democratic governments and free elections in each of the liberated but Soviet- occupied nations...
...catching up is a 20-year-old wearing a leather cross, dangling earrings and a black leather cap angled on a head that is shaved but for red tendrils over an ear. He sits in his jaunty outfit learning fractions and writing poems. The young man's mind is so keen that when a deaf student came to class, he learned to sign in half an hour. This makes him think he may eventually work with the handicapped, but until this year he was not a dedicated student. "I'm quicksilver," he says. "I need stability. Everything else has shifted...
Harvey Milk students want to be accepted, especially the 15-year-old with cornrowed red hair, a fashionable rhinestone nose stud and doelike eyes outlined in blue.

The foresighted journeyer will have made an appointment to use his car's shower next morning, and the porter will knock at the proper time with a bathrobe. At breakfast, a driven soul may have...
Jorge Enrique Pulido, 44, producer of the Bogota TV news show Mundo Vision, and anchorwoman Ximena Godoy, 20, had just finished a Sunday broadcast. As Pulido halted his cream Renault sedan at a stoplight two blocks from the government-owned Inravision studios, a man waiting on a red Suzuki motorcyle dismounted and opened fire. Bullets from a 9-mm Ingram submachine gun hit Pulido in the throat and shoulder and struck Godoy in the leg. The gunman and an accomplice sped off on the motorcycle, as a passerby drove the victims to the hospital. By week's end Godoy...
