Everyone in the northwestern portion of the state is too busy trying to keep track of Doyle Arthur Cannon. In May, after getting word that his wife was leaving him for another man, Cannon fled in a dump truck from the minimum-security Oconee Law Enforcement Center near Salem, where he had been serving a 37-year sentence for killing a man in a knife fight. Since then, his narrow escapes from helicopters and police bloodhounds have become the stuff of folklore...

Alexander Schalck- Golodkowski, 58, formerly in charge of the foreign-exchange procurement agency, is being probed for fraud in the disappearance of $13 billion in East German government funds. Prosecutors have been stymied because a ton of files were hastily shredded after Schalck-Golodkowski fled to the West in 1989 to escape arrest by East German reformers.
