...gang of men, dodging around cars and trees as they fired guns at one another on a sunny, suburban Miami street. But the scene was all too real, a bloody shootout between seven FBI agents and the two robbery suspects they had cornered. In the end, two lawmen lay dead--the 28th and 29th agents killed in the line of duty in the FBI's 78-year history. The suspects, William Matix, 34, and Michael Platt, 32, were also slain.

The Chief Rabbi took the issue a theological step further by stating that the return of the Jews to the homeland was part of "God's final plan of redemption." But John Paul in his 3,000-word address made no mention of Israel, and a Vatican spokesman later said that...
