...will not bring closure; it will only deepen the mystery of who could have done such a thing. It will also allow the legal wrangling to begin. Aviation disaster lawyers say that if investigators cannot determine the precise cause of the crash, victims' families will be unable to collect more than the $75,000 maximum liability permitted under Warsaw Convention rules governing air travel. A finding of mechanical failure would open the way to much larger settlements, as would solid evidence of a bombing--if lawyers can then prove that TWA's security measures were lax.

Long-term welfare recipients are generally uneducated, have little work experience, have young children in their care and are from disadvantaged minority groups. Any jobs they find will be low-paying ones. Consider this example: A single-parent mother in Illinois would collect $7,080 in welfare if she did not work.

Not an easy life, by any means...

...sentimental highlight of the track-and-field program may be the men's long jump. If Carl Lewis makes the team and Cuba's formidable Ivan Pedroso isn't recovered from a recent operation, the grand old man of American track can collect his fourth straight long-jump gold medal, which would tie him with Al Oerter, who had four straight in the discus...
