Instead of meekly succumbing to these hazards, which many assume to be modern man's natural lot, they are saying no to ennui and enervation by fighting back in a directly physical way-in the gym. Muscles rippling as they strain against heavy weights, chests swelling as they dance in an energized aerobics class, they are venting frustrations, building bodies and sharpening minds with one of mankind's oldest panaceas: exercise. They are America's physical elite, the new Spartans...
...Soviets have learned the hard way-in Egypt, Uganda and elsewhere -that military aid is an uncertain political investment in Africa. Thus the nationalism of the M.P.L.A.'s leaders causes skeptics in Moscow, including some at the Politburo level, to question whether the Kremlin might be throwing away its rubles in Angola. They argue that there is no way to guarantee that sizable Soviet backing will buy an obedient satellite state or even produce a trustworthy ally. Moreover, even if the Soviets were to gain naval and air bases in Angola, giving them a long-coveted foothold...
JOEY had an intense sense of destiny," says Marta. "If he was truly marked for dying, this old-fashioned way-in style-would have been a point of honor to him.

The idea is to enable economic decision makers to become familiar with the issues and the personalities that make current history. The first News Tour, to Western Europe and Russia, resulted in a long and memorable interview with Nikita Khrushchev. On three subsequent tours to Asia and Eastern Europe, participants met Marshal Tito, Philippine...
Over the past decade, Maclnnes has celebrated his city and its way-in outsiders in two fair novels and a third that is superb. The three have now been reissued after long neglect, enabling the reader to roam the nightside of London with Maclnnes. Such trips involve whispers, a confusion of lights, pound notes exchanging hands, presences, but most typically a shabby street that could never be found again and a plunge down a dim staircase. At the bottom, a door. Closed, heavy, guarding the Platonic idea of door. Inside, music, smoke, cadenced talk as pungent as the smoke...
