...high school ("We put 'jazz' in the name so there wouldn't be any surprises") and in 1970 dropped out of Cerritos College to hook up with the Ice Follies. It was not until a half-decade later that McFerrin "heard my subconscious tell me to sing -- the result, no doubt, of years of soul- searching and a nagging voice that kept pressing me to take risks." Now the risks have paid off handsomely, and exhaustingly. Feeling tapped out, McFerrin ended his latest concert tour on Sept. 30, and will now work from home, where he can spend more time...
Ever since it went on line in 1953, the Savannah River facility has operated behind a barrier of secrecy so impenetrable that officials in Washington were often in the dark. In recent months Government investigators have begun to turn up internal memos that are shattering the silence. The result: a congressional hearing that revealed a stunning list of nuclear incidents caused by a combination of primitive instrumentation, inadequately trained personnel and a management meltdown by both DOE and E.I. du Pont de Nemours, which runs the plant for the Federal Government.

American banks have an exposure of close to $100 billion to Third World borrowers; a 50% loss in the market value of these debts, if it were to be officially acknowledged, would require nearly $50 billion of capital support, more than...
...both sides were killed during battles between protesters and security forces. Whatever the toll, the outburst jolted Bendjedid's ten-year-old regime, which has sought to revive the country's petroleum-depressed economy with an austerity program that included cuts in subsidies for food and other commodities. The result has been sharply rising prices: a pound of beef now costs about $12. With popular discontent still unaddressed, the outlook could well be for further unrest...
