Armor-piercing ("cop killer") bullets were in the possession of Mass Killer James Huberty. What more will it take for Congress to enact HR 5835 or S 2766? These bills would ban the sale of such ammunition to licensed gun dealers and would limit possession to local, state and federal agencies...

Making a 68-ft. putt without trying to, Zoeller took a three-stroke lead on the second hole. Norman three-putted three of the first five, and the most meaningful championship in golf turned into a brisk 3-hr. 15-min. walk. When Zoeller missed a birdie putt near the close of his handsome 67, Norman in jest made the sort of choking sign that professional basketball players flash to each other in earnest. Then he went to his own ball. "Knock it in," Fuzzy said softly...
