That's smart, because local rivals like Chicago-based Ameritech (1996 sales: $14.9 billion) are getting ready to join the race too. While the Justice Department recommended that regulators reject Ameritech's application to provide long-distance service in June, Justice said the company had satisfied 11 of 14 requirements for opening its market. The Baby Bell still has a month to make up the deficiencies before the FCC rules. Richard Notebaert, Ameritech's chomping-at-the-bit chairman and CEO, can't wait to grab part of the $9 billion long-distance market in the five states that...
...minds of the Russian people," said senior communist Viktor Ilyukhin, chair of the Duma security committee, "in fact as a means to control the people." The law has human rights activists squealing, not to mention Pope John Paul II, who called personally on Yeltsin earlier this week to reject a law that is aimed squarely at his upstart Russian flock.

Like our parents and grandparents, we know that only honest, hardworking and morally upright individuals can truly influence this nation in the right direction. Your incessant make-believe reporting has convinced many that these timeless virtues aren't relevant in today's world. Wrong again. CHARLES AKERS Caracas...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: TIME's Sally Donnelly reports that the Supreme Court decision to reject doctor-assisted suicide as a constitutional right will only shift the battle to the states. "This court is very reluctant to expand the concept of right to privacy, but they're not retrenching either. That suggests that the states, particularly those with constitutions which protect the right to privacy, will still have the freedom to argue this out individually." Under the unanimous decision today, the Court upheld state laws in New York and Washington that make it a crime for doctors to administer lethal drugs...
