...morning of Jan. 14, Stanley Williams, a U.S. volcanologist from Arizona State University, led a team of nine other scientists to the 13,680- ft. summit. Williams stayed on the rim and watched as two colleagues clambered down ropes toward the volcano's inner cone -- Nestor Garcia, a Colombian, to set up a temperature probe; Igor Menyailov, a Russian, to sample gases coming out of vents. Williams and Menyailov, who had taught himself English by listening to Elvis Presley records, had been friends since they first met in 1982 on a volcano watch in Nicaragua. "Igor was excited because...
...volcano seemed to take a big breath, first sucking in air, then exploding," said a Colombian tourist who survived unhurt. Garcia and Menyailov died in an instant in the 600 degreesC blast of toxic gases. On the western rim of the cone, British geologist Geoffrey Brown and two Colombian colleagues were also incinerated as gas and heat spurted upward...

It was a fool's errand. Clinton stared at the chart, pointed to the cone that represented his advisers' estimate that the numbers were off by at least $24 billion (and perhaps much more) and said, "What's this?" In a nanosecond, an old debate reopened over two items Clinton is counting on to cut the deficit $67 billion over four years. The first involves the President...

...only have one midterm, my super hasn't found the tape on my walls, and Dave Winfield is a hero. Perhaps, just perhaps, his triumph means that we'll see a kinder, gentler George in the spring. The starting pitcher for the Blue Jays in the final game, David Cone, is a prized free agent considering digging his cleats into the pitching mound in the Bronx. Maybe we'll sign him, and maybe a shamed Boss will treat him with the dignity he deserves. Hope springs eternal...
