...orders to dispose of the pistols and instead stashed them in a safe. FBI agents found them there, along with seven other guns allegedly used by Ullo. The three witnesses told their stories last week at Ullo's bail hearing. Eugene Connor, 43, a man with an arrest record of car theft, said that he was Ullo's getaway driver on the night of the Molinas slaying.

...plan to hold national elections on Oct. 18? "By jingo, yes," declares Zia, "unless the heavens fall." Despite Bhutto's incarceration, his Pakistan People's Party announced last week that it would contest the elections; it called on party members to turn their grief "over the arrest of Party Chairman Bhutto into an enthusiastic campaign."
