Every so often a tiny upstart tackles a corporate giant and wins. Last week it was the turn of Manhattan-based American Natural Beverage, which should sell about $30 million of its Soho Natural Sodas this year. In an out-of-court settlement, the ten-year-old company forced Anheuser-Busch (1986 revenues: $7.6 billion) to drop the checkerboard logo that appears on its Zeltzer Seltzer sodas. American Natural had charged that the Zeltzer Seltzer design looked "confusingly similar" to its own. Said American Natural President Sophia Collier: "This just shows you have to fight for what's right...
...years ago, Hinckley became enamored of a one-armed fellow inmate, Leslie deVeau, who was committed in 1982 after shooting her ten-year-old daughter to death and attempting suicide. DeVeau has since become an outpatient, and works as a secretary at the hospital. Hinckley told a visiting psychiatrist he hopes one day to be released in her custody -- an ambition the Government offers as a sign that Hinckley is far from recovered...

The greatest improvement among slow-learning or mentally retarded Fragile X children occurs when therapy begins early. Both Lancaster boys have undergone intensive speech, language, balance and coordination training, along with a more controversial treatment with the vitamin folic acid.

The President's armor- plated Mercedes was the fourth in a five-car caravan. Suddenly, an oncoming car pulling a small camping trailer swerved across the road, blocking the presidential motorcade. "Intense firing began," Pinochet later recalled, "with machine guns, rifles and bazookas or possibly rocket launchers and some hand grenades." The barrage, which came both from the trailer and the surrounding hillsides, cut down the two motorcycle...
...year and a half ago, when it initiated a plan, originally for the children of alumni, by which a payment of $4,450 to the school bought four years' tuition 18 years later. Some 600 have signed up, including nonalumni students, who have since been brought into the program. Canisius in Buff'lo and the University of Detroit now provide similar plans. All three also offer rate-for-'ge variations. A 17-year-old bound for Detroit, for example, can put up $20,284 now for four years starting in 1987 (actual cost: $29,075), while a ten-year-old...
