Their teamwork paid off again last week. Even while the shooting continued in the streets of Manila, batches of film from a three-man team of photographers were being flown to Seoul, about four hours away. After telephone discussions with Richer, Moyer and TIME Photographer Ed Kim selected the photos that most dramatically illustrated what was happening in the Philippine capital. Then in a photo lab in downtown Seoul, Moyer, Kim and a team of technicians began the high-tech wizardry of transmitting the color photos to New York City...
Michael Ryan was a quiet fellow, except when it came to talking about guns. He never tired of telling his neighbors in Hungerford, a little farming town some 75 miles west of London, about his collection of firearms or showing them off whenever anyone paid attention. Ryan, 27, had recently joined the Tunnel Rifle and Pistol Club, where he practiced regularly. Said Club Manager Andrew White: "He was a very good shot. He hit an 18- by 14-in. target consistently at 100 meters." Last week Ryan used his shooting skill to deadly effect, turning his neighbors into targets...
Despite that attack, Western diplomats in the region believe Iran's militant rhetoric masks a policy of caution, at least toward the U.S. For all its bluster, Iran has shown no inclination to confront U.S. forces directly.

...Axelrod initiative with its own study. While supporting the "overall intent" of the proposed reforms, G.N.Y.H.A. raised a number of problems. Limiting the hours worked by residents could create massive staffing shortages at teaching hospitals, warned the report. In addition, the cost of transferring responsibility from low-paid residents to high-salaried senior staff and implementing other reforms would be staggering: at least $200 million a year for G.N.Y.H.A.'s 70 member hospitals. The report also warned of introducing a "shift mentality" to medicine. This notion, it said, "is generally inconsistent with the delivery of high-quality patient care...
Mount came under suspicion last month after Goodspeed's, a Boston bookstore, paid him $20,000 for 27 documents, including nine letters from Portraitist James McNeill Whistler and one from James. In early August Mount approached the bookstore again with an offer to sell a collection of rare Civil War manuscripts featuring three Lincoln letters. Suspicious store officials alerted the FBI, which arrested Mount when he returned to the bookstore with the Lincoln letters on Aug. 13. A subsequent search of his safe-deposit box in Washington turned up a cache of some 200 papers from the Civil...
