...evening's ball at the Breakers Hotel, given in honor of one of the Prince's favorite causes, the United World College Fund. Only then, after their last dinner, their last handclasp, their last quip and thank-you, only then would the tired, probably overfed and over-fawned-upon royal couple fly back to London. They would get home just in time to celebrate the Prince's 37th birthday with William and Harry and for Diana to tell her boys bedtime stories about her whirlwind trip to the colonies and how pretty the monuments looked against Washington's autumnal foliage...

...stranger coming upon Tobaccoville, N.C., twelve miles north of Winston-Salem, might not be prepared for the sight. In the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains stands a sleek, Bauhaus-style building. This is R.J. Reynolds' new $1 billion plant, which covers some 614 acres and 2 million sq. ft. of floor space.

Those who have a different set of expectations for the company's works will not feel obliged to hedge their enthusiasm...

...Here the road movie's traditional protagonist, the wayfarer whose only resources are wit and courage, is transformed into a young girl. Enchantingly played by Meredith Salenger, 14, Natty is obviously more imperiled by the hobo life than a man would be. And her gumption flatters without fawning upon the modern young woman's sense of her sex's expanded capabilities...

...artfully crafted public appearances, Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev remains an unknown quantity to the American public. Some 93% of the survey group admitted knowing little or nothing about the new Soviet leader; 47% of those who know at least something about Gorbachev suspect that he cannot be counted upon to honor his end of a bargain. Gorbachev's public relations efforts and his youth (by past Politburo standards) notwithstanding, a majority of Americans consider the new Soviet boss to be part of the old Kremlin leadership, no better or worse than his predecessors...
