...Charles Ng, 37, the man accused of killing Kathleen Allen and 11 other victims, finally went on trial last week, more than 13 years after his arrest. Ng and Leonard Lake, both former Marines, are believed to have killed up to two dozen men, women and children during the mid-1980s after luring them to their remote cabin in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California.

Says Boeing chairman Phil Condit: "We've still got some things to do." Like making money on the hot-selling 737s. Boeing has already written off $437 million after taxes against the first...
...month last October to clear up the snarl. The time-out eased congestion at the huge 747 factory in nearby Everett, Wash., which had raised its production from 3.5 planes a month to 4. But executives have been holding their breath as Renton strained to produce even 14 NG 737s a month before ratcheting up to 21 this fall...
