Neither officers of the 24th Precinct nor representatives of the Office of the Deputy Commissioner for Public Information would confirm reports, saying the investigation is ongoing. At press time, the medical examiner’s office had not released results from an autopsy conducted Saturday...

In Washington, Reagan Administration officials and members of Congress concede that shipments to Afghanistan are being skimmed, but there is sharp disagreement over how significant the losses...
Gravity, however, would still remain the odd force out. No experimental evidence has emerged to confirm the existence of its transmitting agent, the graviton. And though this hypothetical particle has been accommodated mathematically in unified theories, such models have been fatally flawed by anomalies that leave the theories meaningless. The crux of the problem: the electroweak and strong forces are quantum forces, whereas gravity is still defined only as a consequence of the curvature of space and time and thus cannot yet be explained in terms of quantum physics...
