...obliged to pay the bills because it accepted the proposed bid, which fell apart when the banks could not raise enough money to finance the buyout. (Citicorp and Chase Manhattan will receive a total of $8 million for their work.) The fees have infuriated some UAL shareholders, since the payments will come out of the company's profits...
...first criminal case stemming from Amtrak's dumping, a jury in a Florida state court convicted the railroad on four felony counts of commercial littering. When sentencing takes place, Amtrak could be fined $20,000 for its offal offense. The railroad, which planned to appeal, said it would halt service in Florida if the decision is upheld. Amtrak defended its foul trail as merely an "aesthetic" problem...
...bonus, buprenorphine seems radically to suppress the urge to take cocaine, which is abused by an estimated 70% to 80% of heroin addicts. Methadone also tends to reduce coke use, but less dramatically.

A Harvard study of rhesus monkeys habituated to using coke found that daily doses of buprenorphine led the monkeys to kick the habit completely...

He could make the same speech today. The country's center, enfeebled by vast poverty and the effects of a decade of war, is crumbling under the prodding of the offensive. The future for El Salvador looks to be a free-for-all between a buoyant and rearmed F.M.L.N. and generals willing to make the country a boneyard...
