...weekly grocery shopping. The couple's three children, ages 22, 20 and 17, attended expensive prep schools (Choate, Spence) and private colleges (Brown, Middlebury). Ferraro, who flies home from her small Washington apartment every chance she gets, is very close to her husband of 24 years. Tall, stolid and implacably calm, Zaccaro is a steadying influence on his peripatetic wife. He overcame initial objections to her career ("I was real domineering then, but I've changed a lot"), and now radiates pride, escorting her silently but genially to the myriad banquets and functions that crowd her calendar...
...Division, the Big Red One. A small, intense man with a cigar perpetually in his mouth, Fuller returned this month for the first time and felt a little lost. He could not find the pillbox that his unit bypassed on the way to the cliffs beyond the beach. The tall tree on the heights designated before the landing as an assembly point was missing.

One reason there has never been a thorough investigation of the battlefield is that until last August it was covered by two-foot-tall stands of buffalo grass. A careless smoker changed that, starting a fire that denuded the site. Since digging began two weeks ago, 550 artifacts, from an Army boot to several limb bones, have been unearthed...
...grounds inside sparkle with fountains, winding waterways, aqueducts, pools and water sculptures. The fair has permanently opened up 4,000 ft. of riverfront that had become inaccessible to the city. Tall ships and small, paddle wheelers and naval vessels will tie up there during the summer. Most of the exhibitions, including those of the U.S., China, France, Egypt, Canada, Korea and the Mississippi states, feature water-related history, culture and technology. The water theme has provided a natural cue-if one is needed-for an Aquacade, styled after Billy Rose's hit of the 1939 New York World...
...This tall tale, based on Bernard Malamud's short story, utilizes many simplistic techniques--good and evil characters, sunlight and darkness, and slow motion--to heighten dramatic moments. Instead of creating painfully drippy scenes, these techniques suprisingly enhance them. Levinson succeeds in creating a visually beautiful, riveting and distinctly American fairy-tale...
