Dean of Students Archie C. Epps Ill said the doctors who examined Carne's body had ruled out suicide as a cause of death. Epps added "we have no reason to believe that someone did something...
...night and revealing a scene, more resembling a battlefield, of trampled grass, empty bottles, broken glasses, upturned chairs, errant garments, and every sort of unattractive human debris." The revelers emerge the worse for wear. Gerard Hernshaw, the acknowledged leader of this elite band, has learned by phone that his ill father has died overnight. Gerard's oldest and closest friends, Jenkin Riderhood and Duncan Cambus, are drunk and disoriented. Although Duncan seldom needs a reason for such a condition, in the aftermath of this midsummer night's madness he can offer a good one. The dance has exposed his wife...
Jack Kemp, the Boy Scout of supply-side economics, hates to speak ill of others. Like the "good shepherd" he so often cites, Kemp wants to convert both foe and friend to his vision of boundless growth through tax cuts and monetary reform.

...Cross halted airlifts from Maputo to rural villages after Renamo threatened to shoot down the planes. Land routes are hardly safer. More than 400 people were killed in ambushes on the main road from Maputo to the north in the past three months alone.

Democrats Gephardt, Dukakis and Gore are ill positioned to take much partisan advantage from the Republican deficit distress. Gephardt's notions of bitter medicine, for example, do not extend to Iowa voters; he fervently backs a farm bill that he admits would increase food prices. Dukakis still clings to his widely ridiculed notion that stricter IRS enforcement would slash $35 billion from the deficit. Dukakis does not want to discuss new taxes, claims Chris Edley, his campaign-issues director, because he fears that they would draw attention from his IRS compliance scheme. Gore is equally vague. All he offers...
