Japan's Koji Gushiken left Los Angeles with five medals in gymnastics: two gold, two bronze and a silver. Italian Super-heavyweight Boxer Francesco Damiani won a silver medal. China's Chen Xiaoxia came in fourth in women's platform diving. Greco-Roman Wrestler Charalambos Holidis of Greece took a bronze in the 57-kg (126-lb.) class. Britain's Sebastian Coe won a gold medal in the 1 ,500-meter run and a silver in the 800 meters. Fellow 1,500 Runner Kipkoech Cheruiyot of Kenya, however, failed to qualify for the semifinals. Neither, surprisingly...
...unacceptable" for a politician who opposes abortion personally to favor free choice as a matter of public policy. So wrote James W. Malone, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Youngstown, Ohio, and head of the U.S. Catholic Conference, the executive agency of the 285 American Catholic bishops, in a formal statement released last week after portions of it had started to leak.

When he threatens to run off with the beautiful wife of one of his clients, however, Justine takes action. She does not scream, shout or cry, this woman of Roman virtue; that would send him flying. Instead she talks to the other husband; they agree not only to offer their errant spouses their freedom, but to give them allowances as well (in Auchincloss's world it is often the women who have the money). "Our job," says Justine...
...working both sides of that same street. Thirty percent of Lee's line is now fashion jeans, which feature snappy colors and snazzy fabrics. Levi's, keeping its "older cohort" in mind, will turn out stuff specifically for them: not, as might be expected, denim editions of Roman soldier gear, but a line of shirts, sweaters and slacks designed by Perry Ellis. Brooke Shields is fronting her own line of sportswear and highlights a kind of prefab insouciance. With all this, however, tradition will not be forsaken. "People always come back to basics," insists Hervey. "There...
