Press the pound sign if you think you're going to be the next editor of the New Republic. So many journalists have been interviewed for the job that if you're not on owner Marty Peretz's long list to replace Andrew Sullivan, who left three weeks ago, you may never eat lunch in this town again. Peretz says he's moving "methodically," which is understandable. No owner wants to rush that enchanted period that makes red-ink publishing more rewarding than real estate, when a publisher gets to dangle one of the great prizes in American letters before...
DADE COUNTY, Florida: Workers recovered the flight data recorder from ValuJet flight 592 as the government launched an intensified safety review of the airline.

It incorrectly assumes that every pound of the nation's sugar needs could be met with purchases on the thinly traded and highly volatile world market. In reality, the market is made up of highly subsidized sugar that has been dumped on the market for whatever price it will bring, usually well below the cost...
...prosecution case will depend mostly upon physical evidence. McVeigh's fingerprints were found on a receipt for 40 one-fifth-pound bags of ammonium nitrate fertilizer--the chief ingredient in the Oklahoma bomb--that the FBI discovered at Nichols' home in Kansas, where they also found detonator cords with blasting caps. After McVeigh's arrest, traces of explosives were detected on his clothing and in his car. Prosecutors will argue that McVeigh and Nichols stashed the fertilizer in rented storage facilities, then mixed and assembled their bomb in a park near Nichols' farm. To clinch its case, the prosecution does...
