...YORK CITY: News that British pharmaceutical firm Zeneca P.L.C. has taken control of the management of 11 cancer clinics it owns in the U.S. raised a host of ethical questions about whether a drug manufacturer should also oversee a patient's care.

According to government sources, some investigators suspect that the Olympic Park, abortion clinic and Otherside lounge bombings involved devices with similarities that could add up to a common signature. The clock timers from each bombing are similar, sources say, as are the types of copper wire used in the fusing mechanisms. Forensic tests reportedly indicate the presence of unusual metal in some components, but further tests must be done to determine whether chemically identical substances are present...
