...world unto itself [July 21]. We have lived in South Central Florida for 30 years and find it to be paradise--beautiful unpolluted beaches and water, responsible zoning and happy, smiling residents. The economic problems we experience here today are those of the whole country, not just Florida. Year-round we find "fun and sun in Florida" an apt description. Marion Denninger, VERO BEACH...
...action that defied reason (personified here by Lieutenant General James Longstreet, who is underwritten and underplayed by Tom Berenger). Lee's opposite number in the film's dramatic scheme is Colonel Chamberlain, commander of a ravaged regiment assigned to defend the Union flank on the hill known as Little Round Top. A college professor and, as played by Jeff Daniels, a soft-spoken humanist-idealist, he is democratic man at his best. And a commander of steely resolve. Almost out of ammunition, unable to withstand another Confederate charge, he mounts a bayonet assault of his own, downhill and through heavy...
...supposed to be a replay of baseball's first international thriller: the Great White North vs. the South that Rose Again. In last year's rousing World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays snuck past the Atlanta Braves, and everyone was ready for Round 2 this October.

This year all that separated the heavyweight champ and the top contender...
...stark truth about nuclear weapons: it has always been cheaper to build offensive weapons than defenses to stop them. Earlier Presidents, asserted Ruina, realized that by building defenses, they would just invite the Soviets to build more and different types of offenses, thus igniting a destabilizing new round in the arms race. Even if the presidential dream of a perfect defense against Soviet ICBMs could be erected, it would not stop the Soviets from using other offensive weapons, such as bombers and low-flying cruise missiles. Yonas acknowledged that defending against cruise missiles is ''really not part...
...That is Kirov Artistic Director Oleg Vinogradov's fanciful way of explaining how he put iron willpower into his prize ballerina. Asylmuratova (Ah-sil-mu-rah- tova) has an expansive, luscious quality. In a tantalizing way, she seems to represent the past and the future: her round face and small, full mouth recall a silent-film heroine's docility, yet her bold attack is as fresh and fearless as tomorrow. She was born in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, deep in Central Asia. Both of her parents were dancers. At ballet school in Leningrad, her talents were spotted early. Says Vinogradov...
