...fixture in city government, wins each election with the backing of a large personal network. But Bentubo is putting the pressure on. The owner of Richard's Arco has poured more than $5000, much of it from family members, into the campaign, and his posters and placards blanket (and litter) sections of the city. If he draws many Portuguese voters away from Vellucci, he could upset the council balance. But Vellucci has always thrived on hot fights--he won re-election two years ago shortly after the Boston Globe caught him holding down a no-show job. This year, unendorsed...
...restaurant's owner, Giuseppe Turano, 48, on a vacation trip to Sicily. Suddenly a blue Mercury sedan drew up outside, and five ski-masked men rushed into the restaurant. Six feet from the table, they opened fire with shotguns and semi-automatic rifles.

At the University of Vermont College of Medicine, Pharmacologist Lester Soyka and Psychologist Justin Joffe have been administering methadone to male rats a few days before letting them mate with drug "clean" females. Among the adverse effects on the offspring: small litter size, low birth weights and excessive number of deaths among the newborn. Preliminary experiments with morphine, caffeine and the painkiller propoxyphene (Darvon) produced similar patterns...
...careened off a country road in Oklahoma and crumpled against a culvert. Its sole occupant lay dead, surrounded by a litter of papers she had been carrying. Karen Silkwood, 28, a lab technician in a plant producing fuel rods for nuclear reactors, had been driving to meet a New York Times reporter. She hoped to document her charges that officials at the installation, owned by the Kerr-McGee Corp., had continually and carelessly exposed their employees to one of the world's most dangerous metals: plutonium. But after the car was towed from the ditch, the papers could...
