...hurt," said Evans, as a masseur worked over her after her 400-medley victory. "The day after a race, I hurt all over." But in her 400 free rouser it was the trailing East German powerhouses, Heike Friedrich and Anke Moehring, who hurt first. Biondi's coach Nort Thornton offered a clue: "You think Janet doesn't have the body? She's a heart and lung pump, an incredible aerobic machine. Her chest expansion is six inches, and that's two or three inches more than any other woman on the team." Against Friedrich and Moehring, Evans' rare aerobic gifts...
Eyewitnesses, who charged that soldiers at an army compound across the street from the church had watched the assault without interceding, identified many of the attackers as men who work for Romain, a tough former colonel who told Radio Metropole that Aristide was a rabble-rouser who got what he deserved.

By some estimates, real wages have fallen to the levels of the early 1970s. Particularly well received is his call for renegotiation of Mexico's $103 billion foreign debt...
...publicity has been orchestrated by Brawley Lawyers Alton Maddox and Vernon Mason, veterans of New York City's race-drenched politics, and Pentecostal Minister Al Sharpton, a rabble-rouser from Brooklyn who calls New York Governor Mario Cuomo a racist and has likened State Attorney General Robert Abrams, special prosecutor in the case, to Hitler. Sharpton even contends that the assault is part of a racist plot linked to the Irish Republican Army...
