...doctors and rescuers went about their work, the rest of the city searched for ways to help. People waited in line for six hours to donate blood at the Red Cross. At one relief center housed in St. Luke's United Methodist Church, the McDonald's hamburgers, Domino's pizzas and sandwiches from Ruby's were piling up faster than they could be eaten. The international relief group Feed the Children has its headquarters five miles west of downtown. After the organization's boss, Larry Jones, went on local TV to ask for volunteers and donations for the victims...

She runs into La Mole, a sensitive Protestant stud (Vincent Perez, last seen warming the cockles of Catherine Deneuve's heart in "Indochine") and has passionate sex against an alley wall with...
...Customs agents in 1992 and $7 million made in money-laundering transactions on behalf of a Mexican drug organization. (Two bank officials were convicted on laundering and fraud charges earlier this year.) TIME assistant editor Bernard Baumohl, who covers business, says the troubles are part of a domino effect in law enforcement following the world's largest international banking scandal -- the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).
