Federal agents on patrol often tool around in cars once owned by drug dealers, since law-enforcement officers are permitted the use of confiscated property that has "operational value." But last week the General Accounting Office in Washington announced that it had put a stop to one rather broad interpretation of "operational value" by Drug Enforcement Administration officials in Dallas...
...prisoner, now 68, no longer looks like even his most recent photograph, which was taken 20 years ago. Still an erect, broad-shouldered six-footer, he is much thinner, though he tells visitors that is because he wants to keep his weight down. His hair is gray, and his once round face has become elongated but is still unlined.

Last year Marty took on the presidency of the new Park Ridge Center in Illinois, which studies the relation of religious values to a broad range of medical and health issues. Modern medical treatment, says Marty, is central because it demonstrates "what we think humans are, and what justice is." Finally, there is talk that next spring Marty will be a dark-horse nominee in the election of the national bishop who will lead the large new Lutheran Church to be created by the merger of three branches of that...
