BAGHDAD: They keep on knocking but they can't come in. Monday, for the third time in a week, those wacky Iraqis turned away U.N. weapons inspection teams - for the simple crime of including Americans. The Iraqis have yet to explain precisely why being American should impair an inspector?s ability to monitor the dismantling of weapons of mass destruction, in compliance with the Gulf War cease-fire agreement...
...What's he got to hide? Chief U.N. weapons inspector Richard Butler says his team was "getting closer and closer" to discovering extremely deadly nerve gas agents ? the American inspectors' area of expertise...
...Department of Health and Human Services that enforces federal nursing-home rules, were unable to justify to TIME the gap between recommended penalties and those that were ultimately exacted. The officials say nursing homes "have a right" to correct problems before penalties are imposed. But a former government inspector disagrees.

The Long-EZ was made by legendary designer Burt Rutan, whose Voyager in 1986 became the first plane to fly around the world without stopping or refueling.

Laughton is Inspector Maigret, the portliest policeman since Orson in Touch of Evil, and Tone is Radek, his "Candide"-quoting psychopathic prey. From behind the camera (reportedly with some help from Laughton), Meredith delivers a lean, cerebral mystery with plenty of wit, and one that never pauses for clich?. One minor flaw: Meredith...
