...Americans, heading into the wilderness is more than a national rite -- it is a national right. Until recently, national-park visitors, for instance, simply pitched tents in any inviting clearing if established % campsites were filled. These days, however, would-be travelers had better not hit the trail without first making a reservation. The problem: many natural attractions are experiencing "greenlock." Not only are popular parks from Acadia in Maine to Yosemite in California jammed with visitors, but the overcrowding is spreading to state parks, national forests and rivers, raising environmental concerns and threatening the wilderness "experience."

Unification is proving to be a disaster for terrorists. Cooperation between East and West Germany has led to the arrest of nine suspected members of the notorious Red Army Faction.

But the trail has also led to accusations that BNL credits were used to finance sales by Italian and other Western firms of equipment for Iraq's Condor 2 missile, an intermediate-range nuclear-capable missile. But uncovering the full details about how the loans were used has proved extremely difficult: as much as $500 million of the credits that BNL Atlanta approved, say Italian sources, do not carry the names of specific companies, making it impossible to determine what they financed...
