...took orders from the State Security Council, a secret junta of military, police and government officials whose sweeping powers enabled it to bypass Parliament. The council was headed by Botha. The officers said Botha also knew about a secret security cell known as the Counter Revolutionary Information Center, which drew up lists of people and places to be attacked, both inside and outside South Africa. Brigadier Jack Cronje testified that police kept files on all known antiapartheid activists. This, said Cronje, meant that anyone who took part in even the mildest form of protest, such as a consumer boycott...
...Democrats' sloppy handling of foreign contributions, Dole lapsed into disjointed senatorial shorthand: "Campaign finance might help, might help contributions coming in from Indonesia or other foreign countries, rich people in those countries, and then being sent back after the L.A. Times discovers it-- $250,000." Dole's invocation drew little response from the earnest San Diego audience. Their attitude seemed to be, if this was his use of the bully pulpit, he seemed more like the pulpit bully...

ATLANTA: Wade Boggs drew a bases-loaded walk in the top half of the tenth inning and John Wetteland recorded the final two outs as the New York Yankees scraped out a 8-6 victory, evening the series at two.

But the Yankees got three in the sixth, and reserve catcher Jim Leyritz tied it in the eighth with a three-run homer off Braves closer Mark...
Midway into the first encore, Doughty belted out the first few words of "Like a Prayer," which the rest of the crowd repeated back, and his recital of "Day in the Life" drew the applause and whistles of many slightly older members of the crowd. Songs like "Super Bon Bon" with its wicked uptempo chorus forced many others and me into that head-nodding-and-shaking-back-and-forth motion. Doughty's onstage mannerisms mimic Rage lead singer Zack De La Rocha, and if the lyrics were about some abused people somewhere, I wouldn't have noticed the difference...
