...families in the closely knit rural community are expected to move out of the town, which already is largely boarded up and empty because of the flood damage. "Most people here don't have much choice," says former Times Beach Mayor Charles Yarbro. But many insist they will go permanently only if they get what they consider a fair price for their property. And some, no matter how attractive the federal buyout money, still want to stay, the health dangers notwithstanding. "The damn dioxin doesn't bother me as much as the river," insists Michael Keeler...

A barrel of Nigeria's Bonny Light crude, once refined, yields a higher-priced product mix than does the Arabian Light oil on which the OPEC bench-mark price is based.

Among them: the complete denuclearization, both military and commercial, of West Germany and perhaps even the disastrous step of withdrawal from NATO, which would almost certainly lead to the collapse of the alliance as it is now constituted...
...known just how valuable the Mafia's help was in finding Dozier. Rabb's explanation, which minimizes the Mafia's role, may be accurate. The Italian police did indeed make a series of key arrests just before the raid, and law-enforcement officials in Rome insist that these suspects helped lead them to Dozier...
