What made the assassination of the proud but vulnerable Mrs. Gandhi particularly pathetic was that it was committed by members of her bodyguard whom she had continued to trust against all warnings. The so-called disciples of India's revered Guru Nanak, contemptuously basking in foreign shelter in Western countries, have no reason for jubilation. I feel sad about the shame brought upon my Sikh countrymen by those traitors. They emptied their guns into someone who, with all her real or imagined power, was a small, frail old woman...
...evacuees took shelter in more than 40 temporary rescue centers. President de la Madrid toured one of these and watched swarms of children and their families gulping beans, rice and tortillas.

The lucky ones had a branch to cover their dugout; others remained exposed to the elements. As soon as a foreign visitor appeared, the emaciated people took him for a doctor, crowded around and clutched at his trousers and clung to his legs, pleading for help. Half...
Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. Shelter the homeless. With such biblical exhortations in mind, five U.S. Roman Catholic bishops have been examining American capitalism since 1981 to see how well it conforms to their church's social teaching. In Washington last week the group presented its long-awaited-and highly controversial-findings to the annual meeting of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops...
