...attempt to remove this political advantage, Common Cause has filed in U.S. District Court a suit against the Postmaster General and Secretary of Treasury to have the court declare the franking privilege unconstitutional. The suit specifically seeks the wholesale elimination of section 3210 of the U.S. Code that provides for Congressional use of franked mail. Attorney Guido said a Common Cause win in court would disallow any free mailings by senators, newsletters and individual correspondence included. "We're not after the single piece of mail, but if the Senate wants to retain the frank for that kind of thing...
Maeno's background included some porn film credits (most recent: Tokyo Emmanuelle), two broken marriages and a previous suicide attempt. An ardent admirer of the ancient Japanese samurai code, he also esteemed Yukio Mishima, the flamboyant novelist who committed hara-kiri in 1970 to protest Japan's loss of traditional values.

Mayor Kew offers the familiar refrain: "Much to our dismay, there was nothing we could do; just make...
...microphone are converted into electrical signals. These signals pass through an encoder, which converts them into electrical pulses that switch a laser on and off, interrupting a light beam being sent into the end of a fiber. The light thus travels in a series of pulses, not unlike Morse code, that race along the glass "wire." At the end of their journey, these light pulses are picked up by a photodetector, which converts them back to electrical pulses. These, in turn, are fed into a decoder for translation into an electrical signal that vibrates a diaphragm in the receiver, reproducing...
