...Nebraskans get together to gab about the weather or the price of corn, they also enjoy speculating about the long-blooming romance between Governor Bob Kerrey, 41, and Actress Debra Winger, 30. The couple met two years ago, when Winger was filming Terms of Endearment, and folks in Lincoln (pop. 180,000) have been spotting the lovebirds ever since. Lately everyone's been getting a smile, or a scowl, out of the fact that the Ohio-born actress was stopped for speeding in the Governor's state-leased car. The fuss prompted Kerrey to cancel her car privileges...
Outside, on Wildlife Road, 100 more reporters and photographers waited, hoping to catch a glimpse of the bride and bridegroom, or at least of some of the 200 guests. They included Pop Artist Andy Warhol, Actress Rosanna Arquette (who co-starred with the bride in Desperately Seeking Susan) and Brat Pack Members Emilio Estevez and Judd Nelson.

In what may turn out to be a landmark civil rights decision, Federal Judge Leonard Sand ruled last week that the deliberate concentration of low-income housing projects on Yonkers' west side resulted in a racially segregated public school system that "has clearly worked to the disadvantage of minority students." It was the first time that...
...Salund elementary school in McLeod (pop. 50), N. Dak., Teacher Janice Herbranson, 51, has served breakfast to her three pupils. After morning lessons, she will cook lunch. At day's end, if the parents are away, she may take one of her charges home with her to spend the night. At the Lennep school near Montana's Crazy Mountains, Second-Grader Lee Cavender, 7, barges in to say that his sisters, twins who constitute the entire seventh grade, will be absent today. They turned 13 over the weekend, old enough for deer-hunting licenses, and, of course, their father...
