Joel Hungerford, 57, stands ac cused of a crime that would seem unforgettable. In 1991, his daughter charges, he raped her-just days before her wedding. Laura B., as she is called in a New Hampshire court proceeding, did not tell anyone about the assault because, she claims, she repressed all memory of the ordeal. Only after she began therapy a year later did the horror resurface. "It was his hands. It was his beard. It was his body,'' she said last week in a pretrial hearing before Judge William Groff.

...General Motors strike that started at an AC Delco plant in Flint, Michigan has now spread to nine more factories that produce some of the company's hottest products. The walkout has idled 30,900 workers. Plants in Pontiac, Lansing, Orion Township, Auburn Hills, and Buick City, Mich., as well as Doraville, Georgia, Janesville, Wisconsin, Ste.

And Rockwell International Corp. has begun seeking foreign buyers for its $80 million-a-copy AC-130 gunship, a specially modified cargo plane that puts a 105-mm howitzer into the sky, where it can destroy distant targets with devastating precision...

Last week seven more service members died when their AC-130 gunship crashed off the Kenyan coast en route to Mogadishu. As the last American ground troops packed up for their departure this week, free-lance gunmen continued to take potshots at guard posts and passing convoys. Eight warships are deployed offshore should trouble erupt...
