...emotionally delicate cobalt-blue ox, Babe, have fled from the industrialization of logging in the Northwest to the California redwoods. Swathed in fringed and beaded leather, his beard tied with a thong and the ensemble topped with a fur hat, he resembles a strange kind of bear. His hilarious bouts of self-pity and childishness make Bunyan the perfect counterpart to his more serious companions...
Critics caricature affirmative-action goals as quotas largely for blacks and women that deprive white males of jobs. The latest statistics, however, do not bear that out. A report obtained by TIME from the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in Washington shows that affirmative-action programs have had "some positive effects" in opening new opportunities for blacks, but that the measurable benefits in terms of wages and employment have been "quite small."

Secondly, the doctor who knows but isn't telling, the doctor who brought Hatch back to life, is the very...

Astronaut Norman Thagard and his two Russian crewmates floated into the Mir 90 minutes after their capsule docked with the space station at 2:45 a.m. EST. The trio is slated to remain there for three months. NASA plans to send four more astronauts to the Mir beginning in June. TIME Moscow correspondent Terence Nelan says Russians at mission control in Kaliningrad (just outside the city) worked hard on a "flawless" docking...
