...Special Operations Forces group to Atlanta. Yet no one was anxious to resort to force, remembering the lessons of the 1971 uprising at New York's Attica prison, where after four days of inconclusive talks lawmen stormed the facility and touched off a bloodbath in which 32 prisoners and eleven guards and other civilian personnel died. Experts on hostage situations have since tended to focus on negotiations, however protracted, as the best way of wearing down the other side. That seemed to be the stance of Michael Quinlan, director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, who declared at midweek...
...most lethal attack against a target inside Israel since March 1978, when eleven Palestinian gunmen killed 37 Israelis and wounded 82 after hijacking a bus. Officials voiced rare criticism of their troops last week, pointing out that those in charge of the camp had taken few or no precautions despite a general military alert.

Prudhomme not only contributed his blackened-redfish recipe to Claiborne's book but also repeats it here, along with far more appropriate recipes for blackening chicken, hamburgers and pork chops, a technique that relies...
Overkill is as unavailing as timidity. The 1987 booby prize in the proportion category goes to the Boston Herald. In covering Dukakis' belated admission that his aides had leaked the anti-Biden tapes, the tabloid devoted 18 articles to the subject, consuming all the news space in the first eleven pages of its Oct. 1 edition. With that degree of excess in the system, the groping toward common sense discerned by Stephen Hess clearly...
