Americans routinely register their cars, bikes and dogs, generally without a yelp of protest. So why not their semiautomatic assault rifles and handguns, which may not always be as lethal as their autos but are certainly more so than their 10-speeds and terriers? Because, argued the National Rifle Association in a suit to throw out a 1989 California law that, in effect, banned possession of unregistered assault guns, the U.S. Constitution guarantees every citizen an unrestricted right to bear arms. California gun owners seem to agree. As a year-end deadline passed, only 18,000 of perhaps...
...Reagan is going, the revolution stays." The billboards adorn the dusty roadways of Managua, a pitiful yelp of triumph in an exhausted country that has little else to celebrate. Yet the Sandinistas can cheer at least this: while Ronald Reagan will be just another private citizen in two months, Daniel Ortega Saavedra -- the man Reagan once called a "dictator in designer glasses" -- will remain firmly at the helm of a government that the White House terms an "outlaw regime...

...porch. When girls gossiped about "the pill," they were referring to an % unpopular guy at the far end of the study hall.

And it wouldn't end in jail or a shotgun marriage but with a sympathetic lecture from his omniscient father Judge Hardy. The teen landscape on '40s movie screens was like Eden without the apple...
...from San Martino, helping some partisans harvest a wheat field, is attacked by a band of Black shirts. What ensues is a grotesquely comic scene of carnage, as a lot of inexperienced people shoot at each other with pamcky clumsiness. A man runs into a childhood friend with a yelp of joy, only to riddle him with bullets: a girl embraces a long lost cousin in black shirt, but her husband pushes her aside with a rifle; both sides tending to their wounded, inadvertently borrow each other's water bottles, and Cecilia's eyes, widening in fright, transform the sorry...
