...coalition does indeed suffer from a public relations problem: many of its contras (counterrevolutionaries) served in the unpopular National Guard under Somoza, who was overthrown by the Sandinistas in 1979.

These connections, in fact, have cost the F.D.N. the potential support of other exile leaders, most notably Edén Pastora Gómez, a former Sandinista leader who now lives in Costa Rica...

NBC's Hill Street Blues, fractured and jazzy, seems to be stuck in a slough of self-admiration at the moment, but it set a style for television drama that St. Elsewhere is emulating with considerable success. The new show is populated by a floating rep company of actors, including...
...unicorn left in the world--decides to leave her magical forest to find out the fate of her fellow unicorns. She goes on an Oz-like quest to find the kingdom of King Hagerd, where the Red Bull lives.
