...swagger of fearless charm, and a rock symphony swells in the parking lot on prom night? "I think he's still trying to be popular at school," says Jon Cryer, who played Duckie, the geeky dervish in Pretty in Pink. "And more power to him. I mean, he wound up marrying a cheerleader (Nancy, his wife of 16 years). And now he's got the Porsche...
...odds with itself last week over the prickly issue of refugees from Central America. In Florida, Perry Rivkind, the district director of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, said that he would not deport citizens from Nicaragua who seek political asylum in the U.S. In Arizona, the Justice Department wound up its prosecution of eleven church workers accused of smuggling aliens from El Salvador and Guatemala into the U.S. -- even though these illegal immigrants also claimed that they feared persecution in their home countries...

During that time its annual oil revenue fell from $113 billion to $28 billion. Many of the other twelve countries in OPEC, meanwhile, conducted...
...value, civil RICO proponents point to cases like that of Barney and Donna Millsaps. Six years ago, a door-to-door salesman talked them into adding a room to their home in Norfolk, Va., assuring them loan payments would amount to no more than $50 a month. Instead, they wound up with a second mortgage and monthly payments of $148 for 15 years, a burden that strained their modest income until, less than a year later, they had lost their house. But the Millsapses along with eight other families that were hustled in the same scheme, brought a RICO suit...
