...forms in TIME, the smallest are the pictorial symbols. Usually less than one inch square, these graphic illustrations appear at the beginning of two or more stories that are related thematically. The elements of last month's cover package on Madonna, for example, were linked by a symbol representing her slinky, peek-a-boo belly button. For this week's cover stories on the Administration's tax program, a hand pouring coins into Uncle Sam's hat is employed. To tie together stories on the cyclone in Bangladesh and the soccer riot in Belgium, an anguished face is used...

They have ranged from a jackboot stamping on a Polish flag, representing the crushing of Solidarity in 1981, to a basketball hovering over a hockey puck for a cover story last March on Larry Bird and Wayne Gretzky.

Ward has no manifesto and wisely refuses to use Red as a convenient symbol of the wronged working class.

To many of Chun's opponents, Kwangju has become a symbol of the U.S.-supported regime's determination to rule by force, abolishing political parties and cracking down on enemies in every area. The government has explicitly prohibited newspapers from mentioning the 1980 uprising. Last week's student protest came just one day after the government refused to consider an inquiry...
IMAGE. My image to people, I think, is that I'm this brazen, aggressive young woman who has an O.K. voice with some pretty exciting songs, who wears what she wants to wear and says what she wants to say and who has potential as an actress. Sex symbol? That is such a weird question. I guess I would be perceived as that because I have a typically voluptuous body and because the way I dress accents my femininity, and because a lot of what I am about is just expressing sexual desire and not really caring what people think...
