...nowhere, in a race near Cape Town last January. Striding barefoot, as she prefers, over the artificial Tartan, Budd ran the 5,000 meters in an amazing 15:01.83, shaving nearly 7 sec. from Mary Decker's world-record time. Although she runs with an unearthly determination-like "safari ants on the march," says her full-time coach, Pieter Labuschagne-her feat remains unofficial. The International Amateur Athletic Federation ousted South Africa in 1976 for its apartheid policies; the country is also banned from the Olympics...

Jane Furniss, England's No. 2 middle-distance runner, says of her new competitor: "When our flag goes up and they play the national anthem, would she feel she had won for Britain or South Africa?" Like those safari ants, Budd is pressing on. She has next to hurdle the I.O.C. eligibility rule requiring three years' residency.

...speaker more eagerly than anyone else: Jesse Jackson, 41, founder of Operation PUSH (for People United to Serve Humanity), who is in the highly public process of deciding whether or not to make a bid for the presidency. Taking nearly three times the five minutes allotted to speakers, the safari-suited and hoarse-throated Jackson did not tip his hand one way or the other on the presidential question.

...force brigadier general. Inside the terminal, the passenger lobby was closed. Outside, on the tarmac, a phalanx of soldiers armed with M-16 rifles waited as China Airlines Flight 811 taxied toward Gate 8. By then, Aquino's ebullience had vanished. Dressed in a white safari suit and a bulletproof vest that he had put on just before landing, Aquino waited calmly as three soldiers in khaki uniforms entered the plane. He was aware of the threat of General Fabian Ver, the armed forces chief of staff, to send him "back on the same plane he arrived...
