...shark-management plan, and only a handful have enacted laws protecting especially vulnerable species. Probably the most comprehensive undertaking is the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service's Atlantic shark-fishery management plan, which since 1993 has limited the catch of 39 species in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. The plan sets annual quotas, bans finning and mandates species-specific tracking programs to help scientists. "It's having an impact," says NMFS's Rebecca Lent. "The 1996 assessments show that the large coastal sharks are still being overfished, but the rate has slowed down...
WASHINGTON: TIME's Mark Thompson reports that the Pentagon's new figure on the number of troops exposed to chemical agents during the Gulf War still fails to establish what caused some veterans to become ill.

It's not so much the raw numbers that are important, but whether there is a cause and effect relationship. As of yet, we still don't know if one exists."

President Clinton is said to have accepted Cohen's choice; expect an official announcement tomorrow...
...because I believe that there is a code in the Bible and that we would be foolish to ignore its apparent warnings. As the code's discoverer, the eminent Israeli mathematician Eliyahu Rips, told my publisher in a signed letter, the Bible code contained an accurate prediction of the Gulf War before it began. I was not being "defensive" when I told your reporter that I believe the Bible encodes all our possible futures rather than one predetermined future. I was simply repeating what I told Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1994, when I warned him that the code...
