Based in Chicago, this group is headed by Father Charles Fiore, 45, a Dominican priest with a reddish beard and a combative temperament that sometimes offends his superiors. When Father Fiore urged Catholics to stop contributing to any community fund drive benefiting organizations that aid abortions, John Cardinal Cody ordered him to stop preaching in the Chicago archdiocese. One reason: some of the same fund drives also support Catholic charities.

...most curious of all these major moons is the innermost, lo (pronounced eye-oh). Roughly the size of the earth's own moon, it has reddish polar caps, a yellowish sodium cloud cover and a strange surface chemistry that may be a consequence of intense radiation bombardment. On its closest approach, Voyager will come within 18,800 km (11,650 miles) of this mysterious moon.

Even though the industry is operating at full capacity, its rate of return on investment falls short of the target of at least 10%. Says Maier: "We need considerably higher prices...
...first the damage may be relatively minor: a slight fever, fatigue and the reddish rash, which often takes a "butterfly" shape across the nose and cheeks. But as SLE progresses, severe inflammation may occur in the joints, hair fall out, and sores appear in the mouth, nose, throat and vagina. Unless lupus is somehow contained-or undergoes spontaneous remission-the heart and blood vessels may be damaged. The kidneys could begin to fail, and even the central nervous system can be affected...
