A dozen export-import forms were eliminated, and veterinary checks now take place only at the destination. As for Sivieri trucker Carlo Boldrini, who used to spend nights in the horse trailer when frontier posts closed for the day, "stress is reduced...
...four officers will return to court this week on federal charges that they violated King's civil rights. And March brings the prosecution of three black men accused of savagely beating white trucker Reginald Denny as the riot broke out. "I hate to think of what could happen if the police officers get off and the young black men are convicted," says Odell Holly, 71, the black owner of an apartment building in South Central Los Angeles, the riot's epicenter...

Not exactly the easiest ways to cover the expenses of a world-class figure-skating pair, but for Calla Urbanski (the waitress) and Rocky Marval (the trucker), those jobs paved the path to Albertville. Urbanski, 30, and Marval, 26, had both skated competitively for a decade without ever notching a major victory. Two years ago, they dropped longtime partners and teamed up with each other for one last shot at the Olympics. It clicked: their erratic skating began rising...
