...case of a good citizen doing her part in the national war against drugs. She also produced a small quantity of marijuana, about two dozen pills, drug paraphernalia, $1,900 in cash and a .25-cal. handgun, thus providing sufficient evidence for officers to arrest Bobby Dale Young, 49, a bartender, and his wife Judith Ann Young, 37, a U.S. bankruptcy-court clerk. But there was an extraordinary twist to the bust: the tipster was the Youngs' 13-year-old daughter Deanna...

Police radar sets bounce a microwave beam off an approaching car or truck in order to measure the speed at which the vehicle is moving. The target must be in a direct line of sight with the radar transmitter before an accurate reading can be taken. The radar emissions, however, can be detected by a simple electronic...
...from Brigham Young University to the world's sweatshops. Chicago Bears Quarterback Jim McMahon and Boston Celtics Guard Danny Ainge may be hard to think of as latter-day saints, but Joyner is easily pictured on the side of the Angels, a paragon on the order of Atlanta Outfielder Dale Murphy. The gray manager of the Angels, Gene Mauch, 60, says, "Joyner has a graceful way about him, at bat, on the field and in the clubhouse...
