...move to Moscow as soon as she finished high school. A discus thrower at the time, she tried the shot at Melnik's suggestion and soon switched, a daring decision for an athlete already in her late teens. Within four years, helped by careful coaching and a training regimen of up to six hours a day for six days a week, she became the world's best. Officials made sure she and other superstars would get to Seoul. Although Soviet track trials allow hopefuls to prove themselves during five meets (vs. just one for aspirants in the U.S.), places were...

When the local council of Al Bureij resigned under orders from intifadeh's leaders, the Israelis placed the refugee camp under 24-hour curfew for two weeks. The army cut power lines and waterlines, and barred the men from working in Israel for one month. Tax raids conducted block by block netted about $90,000. Says...
