Closer to U.S. A wealthy sheep rancher from western Victoria, Fraser has promised cutbacks in domestic programs and tax cuts for individuals and business incentives.

...National Transportation Safety Board investigation may take several weeks, but preliminary findings point to some computer error, perhaps because it was fed wrong information. The Federal Aviation Administration has centers at points along the path of every flight above 18,000 feet within the Golden Triangle-the Chicago, New York, Wash ington area-where computers assign airspace to planes.
