...Latin countries -Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala and Brazil-to reject U.S. military assistance rather than agree to prepare "report cards" for Washington on human rights. The Administration hopes to keep relations from deteriorating further-without, however, backing off on human rights entirely. Thus Todman was to shore up relations with the continent's right-wing military regimes, while Derian would press Carter's human rights campaign with civic leaders and government officials. In what was seen as an important move to improve relations with Washington, Chile's President Augusto Pinochet announced late last week that...
Shortly before dawn, the seven young activists slipped from their blacked-out launch and swam the half-mile to shore, pushing rubber dinghies laden with supplies. Tall, muscular and bronzed, they looked like beachcombers, except for wrist, ankle and head bands plaited from the leaves of ti plants, which are supposed to bring good luck. They also marked the wearers as members of Protect Kahoolawe Ghana (Hawaiian for "family"), the most militant of the native islanders' protest groups...

More than 2,000 drilling rigs-meaning just about every one available-are now boring for gas and oil on shore, v. an average of only 975 six years...
...expectations into an era of rising entitlement-a theory that was all too emphatically affirmed by looters in blacked-out New York City last week-has also been endorsed by a Boston federal judge, no less. When Jane Benduzek, 40, admitted embezzling $84,958 from Boston's South Shore National Bank, where she was a teller, Judge Frank Murray was told that she had felt "entitled" to all that loot. She used much of it to help right such "wrongs'" as the financial setbacks suffered by her brother, who has seven children, and her father, whose pension...
Missing are the witty repartees of the Hepburn-Grant tradition, the unique complications that give life to the standard chase routines. It is funny when Catherine Deneuve tries to keep her stolen painting afloat while swimming to shore from a sinking ship, but not nearly as funny as it was when Katherine Hepburn wrestled with her little leopard in Bringing Up Baby. The red gas stove is certainly milked for all its comic absurdity, yet Yves Montand cannot do with it half of what Buster Keaton did with a simple pair of bicycle handlebars in Sherlock Jr. Director Jean Paul...
