...glacier's edge by a pair of German climbers, the mummified corpse was identified last week as a rare human specimen from the early Bronze Age, possibly the oldest ever found in Europe. Although hundreds of Bronze and Iron Age bodies have been found in the bogs of northwest Europe, the "Iceman from the Similaun," as he was dubbed by the Austrian press, is much better preserved. It was a find of "extraordinary scientific significance," says Professor Konrad Spindler at the University of Innsbruck, where the Iceman was flown for detailed study...

He also revamped his Cabinet, firing his hard-line Defense and Interior ministers and seating...
...they are busy. So many people turn up at the Willow Creek Community Church northwest of Chicago, for example, that a traffic controller atop the building is needed to supervise the uniformed attendants who direct cars across the acres of asphalt. Befuddled visitors are greeted with information booths in the lobby. At Calvary Chapel in Santa Ana, Calif., converts are so numerous that they are baptized in the Pacific Ocean, dozens at a time...
