Colombia's plight becomes all the more surprising when we remember that only three years ago, Colombians were hopeful that the newly established Rojas government would create a stable democracy which would finally enable the country to develop its vast natural resources. They hailed Rojas' ouster of arch-conservative President Laureano Gomez, who had fought to retain power despite lack of popular support, and supported his attempts to end the six-year-old civil war that was ravaging the thinly populated western plains.

Before the first-grade class began in the Luria school in Jerusalem, there seemed little difference between the behavior of one six-year-old and another.

Oscar-Winner Bette Davis couldn't resist some real-life emoting on Ed Murrow's Person-to-Person (CBS), on which she volunteered a friend's suggestion for her tombstone ("She did it the hard way"), while Husband...
...Swaps responded to one whack of Willie Shoemaker's bat and galloped to a new world record of 1 minute 39 seconds for the mile-and-a-sixteenth course. It was Swaps's second world record in his last two starts: he snapped Citation's six-year-old mile record two weeks ago with a mark...
