...Tuesday, Feb. 23, Salameh rented the van for a week, putting down $400 in cash. Three days later -- and less than three hours after the Trade Center bombing -- Salameh showed up again and, presenting the keys as proof, claimed that the van had been stolen from a supermarket parking lot the night before and asked for his $400 back. He was told he would have to report the theft to the police. On Monday, March 1, Salameh came back, again asked for his $400 and once more was told he would have to present a police report of the theft...
...court appearance detailed the results of one follow-up. It seems that Salameh had given Ryder a phone number that turned out to be registered to one Josie Hadas at an apartment in Jersey City. Salameh may have been living there, but FBI agents apparently found no proof when they searched the apartment.

Under the new measure, doctors can perform abortions only when there is proof of rape, incest, genetic abnormality in the fetus or an imminent threat to a mother's health. Noncomplying physicians are liable to two-year prison sentences...
...money as they promised. Dick Johnson in Dallas wants to see a periodic report card. "And I don't want to wait four years," he said. "I want the government to show me how many of these goals have been met." But by that time, if it's proof he's looking for, Johnson probably won't need a government report. He can take a time-honored political test and ask, with a Clintonesque twist, "Are we better off than we were four years...
