...issue of opening independent counsel investigations into campaign finance and nuclear espionage ?- had reached a breaking point over Waco. Reno?s anger is understandable: After staking her credibility on a version of events at Waco which denied that federal agents had fired potentially incendiary tear gas rounds, Ms. Reno found herself in limbo last week after a former agent revealed that the FBI had indeed fired military-issue CS gas canisters...
...published in the American Heart Association's journal, Circulation, is the largest to date: 21,537 men over a 12-year period. It follows much debate about the so-called French Paradox, the contention that the consumption of red wine - thought to contain anti-fat ingredients other than those found in alcohol - was responsible for relatively low rates of heart disease among the French, whose diets often contain high amounts of animal fats and dairy products. The new study found that men who had two to four drinks per week lessened their risk for sudden cardiac death by 60 percent...
...Jack Kevorkian may be behind bars, serving a 10-to-25-year sentence for murder, but authorities in New Mexico suspect that one of his associates may be carrying on his work in their state. A year ago, Donna Brennan, 54, was found dead in her Rio Rancho, N.M., home.

He now faces first-degree murder charges in New Mexico. Charlie Brown, the deputy district attorney of Sandoval County, says he isn't interested in debate about assisted suicide, which is against the law in New Mexico. "I'm just trying to keep it a simple murder...
...colleagues last week informing them that a cosmic mystery that had stumped astronomers for three years wasn't so mysterious after all. Slightly embarrassed by all the fuss, including at least one starstruck Page One account suggesting otherworldly possibilities, Djorgovski said the enigmatic speck of light that he had found in the constellation Serpens was what he had suspected it was all along - a "sub-sub-subspecies" of quasar, a bright object energized by a black hole in its center 8 billion light-years away. That became clear when astronomers at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii eyed Djorgovski's puzzle...
