...unwilling to compromise, rationally consider alternatives or heed evidence to the contrary. These students, on a mission from God, feel compelled to lambast any move to fight apartheid by the "establishment." Short of personally hiring a plane, flying to Pretoria, and splitting P. W. Botha's head with an Uzi submachine gun, there is virtually nothing President Bok can accomplish with full credit. Unless those who oppose divestment are ready to throw themselves entirely at the mercy of these inspired activists, then there is no hope for a better day in South Africa, activists...
...pistol "a piece of junk" that is difficult to control. Miami Police Officer Robert P. Davis, who has tested MACs, disagrees: "They are devastating in automatic form. They are like spraying water from a hose." The MAC-10 greatly outnumbers another gun favored by criminals, the compact Israeli-made UZI. That well-built weapon is more accurate, but it is more expensive at around $700 and far more complicated to convert to automatic firing.

The targets: old bowling pins and combat-training silhouettes. "We get a lot of Rambo types," says Owner Paul LaVista, 38. "But mostly attorneys, airline pilots and doctors. They're big-time spenders." LaVista, who is working on franchising his smashing idea, claims that...
...well-orchestrated raid by local police, the FBI and other federal agents netted a fearsome arsenal of weapons, ranging from UZI submachine guns to antitank weapons. Most of the bikers surrendered quietly, but in Connecticut a state trooper was shot in the hip by a suspect. The eleven-state offensive was the culmination of a three-year undercover operation dubbed Roughrider, part of a larger effort by Washington to snuff out new and unorthodox forms of organized crime. Authorities confiscated $2 million worth of illegal drugs during their investigation, including methamphetamines, cocaine and LSD. A similar multistate raid in February...
...leaped out of his bulletproof Cadillac to save his boss, he too was beaten and abducted. Coolly following a well-rehearsed plan, the criminals whizzed through downtown Amsterdam, switched to a Citroen getaway car and vanished into the night. Police later discovered bloodstains on the deserted van and two Uzi submachine guns near...
