...insurers, the right to test applicants for AIDS is identical to their right to conduct any other medical test. But many AIDS support groups and health-care activists demur. "Access to insurance coverage is synonymous with access to adequate health care in this country," says Glen Maxey, executive director of the Lesbian/Gay Rights Lobby of Texas. Maxey, along with others, argues that it is unfair for the industry to expect public health-care insurance to pick up the slack...
From interviews with military, intelligence, Administration and congressional officials, TIME has pieced together how the secret army was organized, some of the operations it conducted and the troubles it encountered. Its small, specially trained units are designed to operate far more covertly than older elite paramilitary units, such as the Army's Rangers and the Navy's Seals.

New types of equipment have been developed for them, including small, high-tech helicopters and one-man satellite- & communications radios and dishes. In addition...

Last week the FCC may finally have pulled RKO's plug. Edward Kuhlmann, an FCC administrative law judge, denied RKO's application to renew its license...
While they honor Ali, the Sunnis do not venerate their imams as divine intercessors. Sunni imams mainly conduct community prayers. Each Sunni (from sunna, "the tradition of the Prophet") believes he can have a direct relationship with God. While the Sunnis scorn emotional outbursts and engage in private, meditative piety, Shi'ites are more likely to indulge in displays of religious ardor. Indeed, the Sunnis, who consider themselves the orthodoxy, did not accept Shi'ism as a legitimate school of Islam until...
