...issue in the grand jury hearing was whether the Marines had followed the rules of engagement after they were shot at by Hernandez. Apparently they stalked Hernandez for 20 min. after those shots, keeping in close radio contact with their unit. It was only when Hernandez raised his rifle again and pointed it at Lance Corporal James Blood that team leader Banuelos fired. The Marines said they were devastated by the killing, which they insisted was an accident. "If there was any way to fix it, I would," said Blood. The grand jury evidently believed them, deciding that Banuelos...
...fateful call for the boy titans of the personal-computer revolution, meant to settle the war. At one point, talking about Apple, Jobs says, "There are a lot of good things, happily--and a lot of screwed-up things." Then, to his crew, he yells, "Have we got satellite contact with the other side?" Assured this has been taken care of, he answers a question from Gates about what to wear on the morrow ("I'm just going to wear a white shirt," he assures him), and he finally ends the conversation with a heartfelt "Thank you for your support...

At 1:10 p.m., positioned 100 ft. apart and apparently in eye contact, one of them, standing in a covered lane, detonated a lethal parcel containing about 20 lbs. of TNT packed with rusty screws and nails. Three seconds later, the second man exploded his suitcase bomb along an open street crammed with lunchtime shoppers. "This is madness," cried an anguished onlooker amid...
...major problem in the '87 crash. Clients couldn't get through. And not every client who gets through wants to trade. Many just want advice. Merrill Lynch's crisis plan is drawn from the '87 experience. It will depend on its far-flung army of brokers to stay in contact with clients, while management's main task will be to stay in touch with brokers. At the first sign of a meltdown, spokesman Jim Wiggins says, Merrill chairman David Komansky will gather the 13-member management committee in a crisis room on the 32nd floor of the firm...
