There is a growing breed of shopper in gun stores and on the shooting range that fits a very different profile from the traditional sportsman. More and more are women: Smith & Wesson reports that sales of its Lady Smith line of rosewood-grip guns doubled last year. That troubles Barbara Shaw, executive director of the Illinois Council for the Prevention of Violence. "Women are being encouraged to buy guns to protect themselves," she observes.

Nobody was sure the touch of hands would happen. No formal request had been sent through diplomatic channels. Arafat wanted desperately to come; Rabin didn't. Arafat wanted to show up on the lawn with his holster holding his faithful Smith & Wesson and, with a great flourish, to unstrap the gun and hand it to Clinton.

Taking a life in medieval England was the King's prerogative. Now every kid a king...
That tranquil obscurity is about to end. Earlier this month, ConAgra agreed to pay $1.3 billion to take over Beatrice, which owns an assortment of such familiar items as Hunt's tomato products, Wesson oils, Swift meats and Orville Redenbacher's popcorn. With combined sales that may reach $21 billion this year, ConAgra has become the No. 2 food company in the U.S., second only to the Kraft General Foods subsidiary of Philip Morris...
