...accused man requested bail. He said he could line up 10 people who would offer $50,000 cash, enough to secure a $5 million bond -- an odd assertion for a suspect who had been feverishly trying to get $400 back from Ryder. But declaring Salameh a "serious risk," Judge Owen ordered the suspect held without bail for a preliminary hearing March 18. Salameh later told his attorney he was innocent and believed he was being persecuted for his religious beliefs. Precht says his client has requested a copy of the Koran, a watch so he can pray at the proper...
Part of the diplomacy involves keeping Russia on the West's team. President Boris Yeltsin is under heavy pressure from parliament to join forces with Russia's traditional Slav allies, the Serbs. A way to strengthen the existing bond, Washington has decided, is to bring the Russians into the airlift. Moscow has agreed, and five U.S. Air Force officers are to fly there this week to plan Russian participation, which will include flying cargo missions to Bosnia from NATO bases in Germany and Italy -- the first U.S.-Russian joint operations since World...
Avalanche danger is highest just after a storm because the snow crystals have not had time to forge bonds to one another and to crystals in the existing snowpack. Typically, bonding occurs over a few days' time. Under certain conditions, however, the crystals never bond, but remain loose like a pile of poker chips. This dangerous situation commonly occurs in Colorado, where temperatures are very cold (snow crystals bond most readily close to their melting point). The shape of the crystals is important too. A layer of graupel -- soft hailstones that behave like miniature ball bearings -- substantially increases the avalanche...

In the bond market's calculus, a lower deficit equals less government borrowing equals higher bond prices equals lower interest rates (which move in the opposite direction). For the moment, that became a self-fulfilling prophecy: the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds fell to barely more than 7%, the lowest since such bonds were first issued in 1977. By Friday those prospects had begun to cheer stock traders too. Monday -- who knows...
