...first LP has reappeared in America as a DGC CD (apparently at the request of some guy from Seattle named Cobain, who's been a big Raincoats fan for years). If they're famous for anything, the Raincoats are famous for their feminism. Ana da silva, Gina Birch, Vicki Aspinall, Shirley O'Loughlin and Palmolive not only avoided the musical and verbal cliches of 50s-style 1-2-3-4 rock and roll-cliches the first wave of (male) punks had just copied; the Raincoats actually said to the British music press that they wanted to avoid those cliches, because...
Therein lies the dilemma currently posed by the genetic revolution. Do people want to know about genetic defects that can't be corrected yet? Vicki Balogh of Trenton, Michigan, is facing such a moment of truth right now, as she awaits the results of a test that will tell her whether she carries the gene for ataxia. The degenerative disease killed her mother at 52 and has already started to destroy the nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord of three of Vicki's brothers. "I'm 35, and that's young enough to make a career change," says...
...Vicki Goetze, a 20-year-old phenom on the LPGA tour, is being touted as the next great star. But you know what? She'll never make it. Oh, she can play, but an LPGA golfer needs exposure to become famous, and Goetze is a fountain of cliches so mundane people throw up their hands in disgust. Someday, Goetze will figure it out.

...Vicki and Bill Sledge met through a singles group sponsored by a Baptist church where they eventually married. But in January 1990, not long after the birth of their second child, the Sledges decided, after much "heart-wrenching soul searching," that it was time to move on. After long research, the couple landed at Custer Road United Methodist Church in Plano, Texas, which has grown 50% since 1990. "Unlike some of our generation, we could not imagine abandoning church altogether. We just needed something that spoke to us in a different way," says Vicki. The church has adult and youth...
Despite a vow that he would never surrender, white supremacist Randy Weaver quit his mountain cabin in northern Idaho, ending an 11-day siege that resulted in the deaths of his wife Vicki, his son Samuel and a deputy U.S. marshal, William Degan. Weaver's defiance began in January 1991, when he failed to appear in court on charges of selling two shotguns to an undercover agent. Nineteen months later, those charges have at least one additional count: assaulting a federal officer. Gerry Spence, who represented former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos, will defend Weaver...
