...moment informed by the prejudices born of America's recent "stewardship" of South Korea, they come together in a Tennessee college town: Katherine, a fallen Southern belle, and Chang, a visiting Korean student. Initially, their interwoven stories seem as uncomfortably mismatched as they themselves are. Chang's vivid memories of the Korean War, peppered with brutality and salted with bitterness toward his countrymen and his American mentors, block his ability to envision a future. Katherine too suffers from jolting betrayals that have left her alienated from family and home. But in and through each other, they discover a capacity...
...this month in Times Square. That's because most of the industry's money is made in suburban video stores. Almost as much is earned on cable-TV systems that make sexually explicit films available on pay-per-view and adult channels. Steve Hirsch, president of Los Angeles-based Vivid Video, the world's largest producer of adult films, dismisses the loss of Times Square: "We're not going to lose any customers...
DICK THOMPSON, our Washington-based science and medicine correspondent, heard about a dangerous E. coli outbreak in a small town in Wyoming and immediately did what federal health sleuths do: headed for the problem's source.

So what was a sizable contingent of heavily armed, Special Forces soldiers doing on that secret mission in Laos? Selling Girl Scout cookies? BRUCE BRASHEAR Goteborg, Sweden...
...here is entirely a matter of chance, not survival tactics. Spielberg's handheld cameras thrust us into this maelstrom, and his superb editing creates from these bits and pieces a mosaic of terror. We see as the soldiers see, from belly level, in flashes and fragments, none more vivid than the shot, rendered almost casually, of a soldier staggering along, carrying his severed arm--the struggle against mortality encapsulated in what amounts to a sidelong glance...
