...CASE OF INDIGESTION AFTER EATING FAST FOOD IS one of the hazards of modern life. Something quite different happened when severe food poisoning struck hundreds of people in Washington, Idaho and Nevada who had dined at Jack in the Box restaurants. Doctors are blaming a savage strain of E. coli bacteria first identified 10 years ago. Somehow the germs infected a shipment of hamburger meat, which was then undercooked in restaurant kitchens. Two children died, only one of whom had eaten at Jack in the Box. This suggested that the bacteria could in some cases spread to people...
...California's Sierra Nevada, skiers haven't seen anything like it in 10 years: 20 ft. of snow already this season, compared with 6 ft. by this time last year. In perennially sunstroked Los Angeles and San Diego, repeated torrents have flooded streets. Rainfall in California is 126% above average and rising, and the snowpack's water content is 170% above normal. With the wettest months still to come, some reservoirs, such as Little Rock in Antelope Valley, right, that were low just months ago are now overflowing.

...BAND OF SETTLERS LEFT ILLInois for California. They ended up stranded in the Sierra Nevada at the outset of the worst winter ever recorded there. By the time the starving survivors straggled into Sutter's Fort, THE DONNER PARTY had written one of the darkest chapters in American history, a tale of humans reduced to the most desperate circumstances -- including, famously, cannibalism. For this PBS documentary, Ric Burns, a co-producer with his brother Ken of The Civil War, uses the same techniques as that series -- archival photographs, readings from diaries and letters -- to re-create the story with harrowing...
...inclined to sit on his lead, Clinton last week combined offensive and defensive campaign strategies. He revisited states like Wisconsin and Iowa, which had appeared safe for him initially but which have become shaky. He went ; west to Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Nevada -- all traditional Republican bastions -- continuing his in-your-face challenge to Bush. The West, with its independent-minded electorate, was a good setting for Clinton to counter the Bush claim that he is an old-fashioned liberal in disguise -- a charge that is having some resonance in the polls...
