...minute may pass before the sleeper gasps for air and rouses briefly. In a study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that 4% of women and 9% of men stopped breathing at least 15 times an hour during a night's sleep. Because they are seldom fully awake, most apnea sufferers are unaware that their sleep is disrupted. The only clue may come from a bed partner whose own rest is disturbed by the breathing fits and starts. Besides cutting down on productivity, experts believe, apnea contributes to car and job accidents...
...decades Los Angeles was America's dreamland, glistening with promise and expectation. It was the city of tomorrow, a constant experiment that seemed to produce a life-style without trade-offs. A garden in the desert. A melting pot that was seldom stirred up. An economy that moved in only one direction.

"I can remember thinking, 'Isn't that neat that Bill is going. He must take it more seriously than we do.' My mother was having to drag us there," recalls Patty Howe Criner, a friend...
...THERE IS SELDOM SOLACE IN THE DEATH OF CHILdren. Yet delicate sprouts of hope seem to have come from the tragic murders of Tim Parry, 12, and Johnathan Ball, 3, caught two weeks ago in a vicious Irish Republican Army terrorist bomb blast that tore through a British shopping mall. Susan McHugh, a Dublin mother of two, was so angered by the violence, which claimed six more lives last week, that she has started a new movement to search for peace in Northern Ireland. Hundreds of concerned people turned out for an organizing meeting last Wednesday. McHugh said the I.R.A...
