Adapting to the change in fortune, Polaroid announced last week that it plans to add regular film to its continuing line of instant-camera products. The company, based in Cambridge, Mass., hopes to wrest a fraction of the $7 billion-a-year world market for conventional film from industry leaders Eastman Kodak, which controls 60% of sales, and Fuji Photo Film, with 25%. One giant plus on Polaroid's side is its brand-name recognition. In just two years of testing in Spain and Portugal, Polaroid-labeled 35-mm, 110-mm and 126-mm film captured about...
...possible that the Navy does not track civilian air traffic in the gulf region -- particularly regular flights like the 655, which must have appeared on U.S. radar screens hundreds of times before?

As soon as the Attorney General's name began to crop up in the Wedtech scandal 15 months ago, cries for Meese's resignation were as regular as congressional quorum calls. During the ensuing months, Meese became a cumbrous liability for the presidential campaign of George Bush and a living symbol of what Democrats like to call the "sleaze factor...
...petition the diocese to come under the special care of a male "Episcopal Visitor" who would substitute for the spurned woman prelate at Communion, baptisms and confirmations. Visitors could also fill in for male bishops whose support for women bishops offends traditionalists. To make matters even more complex, the regular bishops, be they male or female, would still make the periodic pastoral visits required by church law, even to traditionalist parishes that had rejected them...
