...have never, not once, used an ATM. Also, I have never, not once, bought a BMW. Why? Because I can't afford either of them. After the government is done telling banks that they can't charge fees, I hope it will tell my local BMW dealer to sell its cars for $5,000. Then I'll go to my ATM and get the cash to buy my BMW. With any kind of luck, I'll get this done before they both go out of business due to idiotic government interference. GARY W. JOHNSON Dekalb...

...online shopping may not be the cheapest road. That's the conclusion of a new study by CNW Marketing, which found that consumers who seal the deal at such sites as autobytel.com carpoint.com and autoweb.com pay on average 6.5% more than those who haggle with a dealer. (The sites dispute the findings.) Doing advance work on the Web, though, can pay off. People who browsed online before negotiating in person saved...

...buyer is a diamond dealer, registered with the Zambian government. He will drive back across the border where there is no border, just thick bush, scrubland and cattle trails. Even if he passes one of the rare police posts, he will just drive through and wave to the guards, perhaps give them a cigarette. He doesn't have to declare the diamonds. All he has to do is go to the Ministry of Mines in Zambia and get an export permit. He makes up a name and address of the "supplier" in Angola. The diamonds are now instantly legal...

...made plans to go on a killing spree last Friday at the mostly black urban school. The assault was to end in a suicidal shoot-out with police, which one of the shooters was supposed to survive to "bask in the glory," a friend told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A suspect's mother said police told her they had found a school map with X marks on it, suggesting an assault plan. Police seized two guns at a suspect's home and said they believed the boys had planned to get more weapons from a street gang...
