Back in Africa, Milingo began praying for cures of ailing supplicants, and soon hundreds were reporting miracles. One American nun, Frances Randall, a psychology lecturer in Nairobi, says she was cured of a painful broken coccyx bone. Cure-seekers streamed to Lusaka from across Africa, and Milingo healed others in the U.S. and Europe. When he attended an African bishops' conference, the sick congregated outside the hall...
...Reaganomics, but in public they appeared appropriately anguished and angry, especially the would-be Presidents. In Los Angeles, at a Bethlehem Steel plant the company intends to close, former Vice President Walter Mondale told a crowd of steelworkers that "we've gone beyond fat. We're into bone and muscle. Now unemployment is cutting deeply into the heads of households." Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy was no less impassioned. Said he: "This is a national tragedy and a national disgrace.

...Astronaut Jack Swigert, 51, has once before survived the icy chill of near tragedy.

Harvard is in second place, behind Penn (3-0), in the league. And--further delayed good...
...Cuba if the Soviet missiles were withdrawn. The President never shared the view that the missile crisis should be "used" to pick a fight to the finish with Castro; he correctly insisted that the real issue in the crisis was with the Soviet government, and that the one vital bone of contention was the secret and deceit-covered movement of Soviet missiles into Cuba. He recognized that an invasion by U.S. forces would be bitter and bloody, and that it would leave festering wounds in the body politic of the Western Hemisphere. The no-invasion assurance was not a concession...
