District Attorney Dinis has said that he may call some ten or more witnesses in addition to these. If he has any surprises in store, he is keeping them out of sight. Most likely the supporting cast will be drawn from officials involved in the event-Edgartown Police Chief Dominick Arena and Associate Dukes County Medical Examiner Dr. Donald Mills-and the residents of Edgartown and Chappaquiddick.

...leader since independence. Whether Nimeri fits that description remains to be seen. Right now, his government is lavishing attention on the Communist governments of Eastern Europe in an effort to establish its socialist credentials; last month six U.S. diplomats were expelled for trying to "sabotage our revolution."

Participating entertainment enterprises like theaters and sports arenas are linked by sales outlets in such spots as railroad stations, travel agencies, department stores and even supermarkets. At most of those locations, buyers tell a sales clerk what event they want to see and when. By pushing buttons on a console, the clerk queries a regional computer's "memory bank" and gets an instant reading on what seats are available. Customers then can have their tickets printed electronically on the spot. The T.R.S. Ticketron system charges a flat rate...
