...Stealth. In a lawsuit, the workers complain that a panoply of ailments -- rashes, aches and pains, nausea, memory loss -- is being caused by unknown toxic agents in Stealth materials. Lockheed vice president John Brizendine insists that "we have seen nothing to indicate the materials we work with . . . pose a health hazard, providing proper procedures are followed." Nonetheless, two teams of federal investigators are poking around the Burbank plant...
Nowhere is the misery of Angola's civil war more palpable than in the provincial capital of Huambo. Lavender-blossomed jacaranda trees line the streets, but many buildings are pockmarked by shellfire and bullets. At a health center, one-legged children push themselves on wooden trolleys while waiting for fresh supplies of artificial limbs. Most became amputees the same way as Fernando Segunda, 16: his right leg was blown off when he stepped on a land mine...

There were scattered calls for an examination of the Emperor's responsibility for World War II and complaints of undue reverence in reporting his current illness. Said Norikatsu Sasagawa, 48, professor of law at the International Christian University: "The Emperor's health has been treated like a classified military secret. The current jishuku is just too much." Leftist radicals showed their disgruntlement by setting two tiny bombs at subway stations only a few blocks away from the moated palace where Hirohito lay ill, and spraying red paint near the entrance to the tumulus...
