...Johnson & Johnson's nightmare began to subside last week, another company's may have begun. Consumers in several states, including Florida, Georgia and Maryland, claimed to have found bits of broken glass in Gerber baby food and fruit juice. Local and federal authorities began trying to confirm the incidents to determine whether any pattern existed. But FDA officials suspected that if glass was indeed found in the Gerber containers, ) it was the result of jars that chipped during shipment rather than a rash of copycat mayhem...
...political firm, Black, Manafort represents Democrats and Republicans alike--and sometimes candidates running for the same seat. Kelly, for instance, is doing some fund raising for Democratic Senate Candidates John Breaux in Louisiana, Bob Graham in Florida and Patrick Leahy in Vermont. Atwater and Black are consultants for the Republican opponents in these contests. In the race for the 1988 Republican presidential nomination, Atwater advises Bush, while Stone advises Kemp.

Less than half a second after booster ignition, just as the shuttle began to lift, first a white and then a black puff of smoke gushed from a joint between two of the 149-ft. rocket's four segments. At 59.8 seconds, high in the sky, flame burst through the booster's steel casing, apparently at the same aft joint. In another...
...state legislatures have to decide whether they want a special- interest court system for physicians," says Talbot D'Alemberte, dean of Florida State University Law School, who chaired the A.B.A. committee that recommended rejection of the A.M.A. proposals. "It's now a legislative battle." Indeed, the politics of protest are already under way. In Massachusetts last week, many obstetricians were refusing new patients in a fight against rising insurance rates. In Georgia, where insurers have requested rate increases averaging 38%, 1,500 doctors marched on Atlanta two weeks ago to shout support for a legislative effort to restrain malpractice lawsuits...
