...Kerri Strug, 19. Considered a senior citizen in the rather precious world of gymnastics, the tiny Olympian displayed courage not usually associated with high school seniors. Indeed, a replay of her dash down the ramp on a badly sprained left ankle should be shown to those prima donnas who beg out of the lineup because of the slightest twinge. Let the pro who doesn't want to play on a particular day watch a tape of Strug doing her Yurchenko 1 1/2 vault, nailing her landing and then keeping her balance as she pivots to the judges on one foot...
...corporate replay of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, Loewen seeks to create the illusion that local funeral homes are still run exactly as they always have been, by native sons and daughters with a vested interest in the community. Although Loewen boasts of its acquisitions to shareholders, it otherwise keeps its ownership quiet. Anyone who calls David Riemann today, for example, gets an operator who says, "Riemann Service," just as operators have done since 1920.

...planning to restrain Medicare, knowing full well that any serious effort to balance the budget would require doing just that. The questions raised about Clinton's fund-raising machine are an invitation to months of congressional investigations that could paralyze both parties. So which will it be?

Johnson points out that Cockburn's address to a private club in Sioux Falls last month was arranged by former South Dakota Senator James Abourezk, who has his own feud with Pressler. Besides, Johnson says, "if Pressler hadn't made such a big deal about it, there wouldn...
Last Tuesday, in a bitter replay of a 1991 incident, Arabs pelted Jewish worshippers at the Western Wall with a hail of stones, forcing an evacuation. How can the Palestinians expect their plea for religious toleration to be taken seriously when many of them lack sensitivity? To complicate their outrage at Israeli "insensitivity," Palestinians demonstrated a brand of their own in their attempt to set alight the tomb of Rachel, one of the matriarchs of the Jewish people. In all of this, Yassir Arafat's growing resume of handshakes and photo-ops have demonstrated that in spite of what...
