Although it is questionable if one could find John Locke there, the Liberty Book Shop located on Washington Street, exercises its first amendment rights, selling both "adult" books and videos as well as sexual paraphernelia. The well-lit store has the feel of a mom and pop video store. The difference is that instead of "Top Gun" and "Wall Street," this place has visual displays for films like "Hannah Does Her Sisters" and "Amber's Sex Asylum." One table is devoted to homosexual pornographic videos...
...faze Welliver, 42, a frozen-foods shipping clerk in Omaha. He is in ecstasy here on a stage at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, harmonizing with one of the finest quartets in the land, at the annual convention of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America. Welliver has paid $20 to "Sing with the Champs" -- an opportunity for rank-and-file barbershoppers to sing briefly onstage with a championship quartet -- and he is paired with SPEBSQSA's 1986 gold medalists, a foursome of Missourians called Rural Route 4. He is dressed...
...last fall fizzled when the stock market crashed. Like other raiders caught in the middle of takeover attempts, the Hafts took heavy losses ($104 million), selling off their Dayton Hudson shares at a sharply lower price.

Wall Street wags joked that Kohlberg should pay Dart a finder's fee for clients...

Yet when a covey of U.S.A.F. pilots converged in Washington last week for an Air Force Association symposium, shop talk indicated that the Stealth has a nickname. Pilots who fly the plane out of the Tonopah, Nev., Air Force base find it so tricky they call it the "Wobbly Goblin." Onboard computers are supposed to control the Stealth's performance, even at the highest speeds, but experts say the plane sometimes "gets away...
...touched Janet Evans. She went out fast in her last race, the 800- meter free, and hung on for a new Olympic record, finishing the meet with three golds in three tries. That accomplished, she planned a shop-till-you- drop expedition in Seoul's Itaewon market district. One old hero, the great Michael Gross of West Germany, seemed to have come to earth. Until the meet's last days, the lanky "Albatross," who dominated the '84 games, had managed only a bronze in the 4 X 200 relay. Now, one more time, he set out to dominate the field...
