...looked pretty good getting off a VC-137 jet at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. Wearing his Navy dress blue uniform with gold trim, Goodman began a chaotic week of welcoming ceremonies, television interviews, motorcades and military debriefings. More than just a prisoner found alive and well, Goodman emerged as a self-possessed naval officer who could exhibit surpassing poise and dignity...
...Since then Zhao has assumed increasing responsibility for foreign policy and emerged as the leading proponent of closer ties with Washington. At a Western-style news conference for U.S. and Canadian reporters last week in Peking's Great Hall of the People, Zhao, 64, dapper in a trim-cut suit and polka-dotted tie, fielded questions for more than an hour.

When reporters alluded to one of the more...
Catastrophe. Not the designs-there was a general consensus that they were excellent. Laura Biagiotti came up with not only a trim pants-skirt and navy blouson but also a knit pullover colored wine red and gold, the official city colors.

But the President was too pleased with the results to worry much about whether his policies were considered Keynesian, monetarist, supply side...
...LINES. After being hurt by the rise of cut-rate airlines, intercity bus companies were given new freedom last year to raise or lower fares. That helped trigger price wars between the two big carriers, Greyhound and Trailways. To trim costs, Greyhound asked that unionized drivers take a 9.5% pay cut and thereby provoked a strike that is now in its second month. Employees rejected a new wage offer last week, and Greyhound said it would continue its effort, started three weeks ago, to rebuild service with nonunion drivers...
