After the Contra Costa Times in Walnut Creek, Calif., gave front-page display to San Francisco's 1989 gay freedom-day parade, copy editor Bill Walter declared in a memo, "Bad things, disgusting things, inhuman things happen . . . But we don't have to describe every naked person, or show a photo of every dead body." The message was clear: "disgusting" things are better left off the front page. That is a dangerous mind-set for a journalist. Yet that spirit has permeated coverage of gay issues in general -- and of AIDS in particular...
...turnaround has been presided over by TASS Director General Leonid P. Kravchenko, 51, who took up his job 15 months ago, after serving as editor in chief of the trade-union newspaper Trud and as a top official at the state committee for television and radio.

For a recent table, he used an 8-ft. cross section of redwood root. The wild energy...
...that was just an appetizer to the prospect of a Howard Johnson's ice- cream cone containing one of the famous 28 flavors. Chocolate or coffee (or maple walnut) might be good enough for parents, but if one was an inquisitive and competitive boy with a mania for collecting things, the obvious challenge was to eat all 28 flavors. This was not so easy as it might seem, for not all Howard Johnson's restaurants carried all 28 flavors. Nor was it as pleasant as it might seem either, for there were flavors like ginger that had very little reason...
