...peak at a toasty 120 degrees. Result: a sticky problem for G.I.s who crave a little chocolate as they wage a waiting war along the Saudi-Iraqi border. Last week Pennsylvania's Hershey Foods launched an all-out offensive against the candy-killing climate of the Middle East. Its secret weapon: 144,000 Desert Bars. Designed to meet the Army's demand for "heat-resistant" milk chocolate, the Desert Bar approximates the flavor of its home-front cousins, while standing up to temperatures of well over 100 degrees without turning into chocolate syrup.

...carnage occurred at a rally last week for the Rev. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the popular priest who is the front runner in this Sunday's presidential elections and a survivor of at least three assassination attempts. Father Aristide blamed the violence on the Tontons Macoutes, the notorious secret police force loyal to the deposed Duvalier dictatorship. Together with the army, the Macoutes had forced cancellation of the 1987 elections by massacring 34 voters.
