PHOENIX: For six years Fife Symington has managed to battle on ? and even win reelection as Arizona's governor ? in the face of 21 counts of fraud relating to his real estate empire. For the last two months, he's even managed to balance the dual responsibilities of governor and defendent in a federal trial. Now, with the luck of the devil, he will survive in the statehouse for at least a few more days. U.S. District Judge Roger Strand added an alternate juror today, forcing the Republican Governor's trial to start all over again. The new juror replaces...

"It's very hard to make money feeding at the bottom of the barrel," says Perry Flint, executive editor of Air Transport World, a trade paper...
...first hearing, the court's dual, unanimous decisions on assisted suicide (the second addressed a New York case) constituted a heavy weight indeed for the practice's advocates. Led by Chief Justice William Rehnquist, whose wife died in 1991 after fighting ovarian cancer, the court delivered a much anticipated judgment on one of the era's most wrenching dilemmas. "The history of the law's treatment of assisted suicide in this country [is]...rejection of nearly all efforts to permit it," Rehnquist wrote.
