...Move from Poverty to Riches." Yahweh ben Yahweh, whose name in Hebrew means "God the Son of God," says he is the son of God and that whites are "the devil," seeking to enslave blacks economically and spiritually. Appearing in white robes and a turban throughout his five-month trial, the leader quoted the Bible often and denied the charges that he had ordered the murder of black defectors from his cause and the slicing of ears from randomly selected white people for trophies...
...stories have established Roy as a master reporter, one of the few at the very top of the profession who are both unstoppable investigators and caring chroniclers of the human condition. This week's cover story on the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 -- the fruit of a five-month investigation by Roy -- is the most far-reaching account to date of the mystery behind the 1988 tragedy over Lockerbie, Scotland. The trail of the story led him through Scandinavia, Germany, England, California and Washington, where he conducted more than 200 interviews and examined thousands of documents, including confidential memos...
Sergei Krikalev got more than he bargained for when he rocketed into space last May from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, located in what was then still known as the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic.

...arrested for everything from setting fire to an abandoned building in Colorado (it took 42 fire fighters to put it out) to vacuuming thousands of dollars in change from public bus boxes in San Francisco, to stealing $13,000 in computer equipment from a client in Syracuse. After a five-month probe at New Jersey's Meadowlands arena, a grand jury documented 20 cases in which Burns guards beat or otherwise abused patrons between 1987 and 1990. Burns has since been fired, and the grand jury has accused the arena's management of a "gross error in judgment" for renewing...
...bankruptcy in the U.S. in an effort to thwart any possible sale of the paper by the British administrator. In their determination to keep the paper open, Daily News unions expressed a willingness to make wage and other concessions. The paper was financially crippled earlier this year by a five-month strike that cost $1 million a day and that ended only after Robert Maxwell bought the paper in March. The News still remains unprofitable, perhaps prohibitively so. In a meeting with Daily News staff last Thursday, Kevin Maxwell vowed to continue publication: "There is absolutely no question that...
