EMPLOYER PENALTIES. The bill requires most employers to demand that job applicants produce documents indicating they are legal residents of the U.S. The aim is to dry up the flood of illegal immigrants across the 2,000-mile Mexican border by discouraging business people from hiring the aliens. In theory, however, the provision would apply to every type of job seeker: Wall Street investment firms would have to demand documentation for Caucasian M.B.A.s, just as Texas restaurants would for dark-skinned would-be dishwashers. The major exemption is for people who employ no more than three workers; families with...
...tests--conducted at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, where Rubbia is researching for the summer--consist of aiming a beam of protons accelerated to an energy of 270 billion volts around a four-mile ring and into beam of anti-protons flying in the opposite direction with the same energy...
Belatedly, Congress is trying. After long hesitation, the House last week began debate on a bill, already passed twice by the Senate, that is supposed at least to slow the torrent of illegal immigrants across the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexican border.

The runners include more than 200 regulars (a team of experienced amateur runners sponsored by A T & T who form the core of the relay) and 3,500 local torchbearers who have raised or donated...
According to some reports from Tehran, the ayatullahs favor an offensive along the entire 700-mile border. The Iranian military thinks that such a drive would be suicidal, but it may take place anyway. As of late last week, U.S. satellite information suggested that Iran still needed a few days in which to complete its preparations for such an onslaught...
