Last week magistrates closed off the Place de l'Alma tunnel and led a grim procession of investigators along the 60 ft. of skid marks that end at the fateful 13th post, graphic proof of Paul's attempts to retake control of the Mercedes in its final seconds. The group stopped often, checking charts, trying to pin down the truth of what happened. There have been too many stories, some rash, some without substance...
...ignorance now means deliberately contracting HIV ? or at least, injecting a weakened strain of the virus. The activists-turned-guinea-pigs petitioned the National Institutes of Health Monday to allow them to be the first humans to receive live HIV vaccinations.

He therefore thinks he has a responsibility to give money away. He thinks that the drug issue is a serious problem and that he must try and make a difference...

By 7 p.m. we lugged the forms to the bed of the press and ran a proof. Then we pulled the lever and started the first of 1,000 sheets of newsprint into the guides. In 1990 I returned to Dinuba. The paper had long since stopped publishing, and the Country Campbell was gone, just so much scrap iron. But my fond memories live on. Sleep well...
