...Adkins faced death last week. It took the form of an odd-looking contraption made mostly of three dripping bottles, the invention of a Detroit doctor named Jack Kevorkian. As Adkins settled down on a small cot, she was attended by Kevorkian. He hooked her up to a heart monitor, slid an intravenous needle into her arm and started a harmless saline solution flowing through the tube. Then he sat back and watched the monitor as she pushed a big red button at the base of the machine. Immediately, the saline was replaced by a pain killer; one minute later...

He suffered extremely harsh treatment. At the end of Orlov's trial, a scuffle broke out when his friends were barred from entering...
Able to cover a swath of sky from Iceland to the northern coast of South America, the OTH radar can monitor a smuggler's plane from soon after it takes off in, say, Colombia until it reaches the U.S. When a technician in Bangor sees an unscheduled flight over the Caribbean, the information will be relayed - to the Pentagon's Joint Task Force Center in Key West, Fla. An Air Force fighter will follow the suspect plane, and officers of the Customs Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration will be alerted to the mystery craft's course so that they...
