...prosecutor who got his start battling Gulf Coast corruption, and personally packed a gun to go on a drug raid. Moore, probably the most popular elected official in his state right now, is considering a run for Governor or Senator.

WASHINGTON: U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno released unexpected statistics showing that young people are committing fewer violent crimes for the first time in ten years. Last year, for every 100,000 juveniles, 511.9 were arrested for murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault or other violent crimes. For the previous year, the figure per 100,000 was 527.4.

Murder statistics have also fallen among 10-to-17-year-olds for the second consecutive year, and are now 22.8 percent below the 1993 level. Despite...

Or triple jumper Mike Conley, who happens to be a deputy sheriff in Washington County, Arkansas. And Americans aren't the only Olympic athletes with uncommon pursuits. Conley's rival in the triple jump, Britain's world-record holder Jonathan Edwards, worked in a genetics lab in Newcastle until recently...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Responding to Republican claims that her office could not conduct an independent investigation of the White House "Filegate" incident, Attorney General Janet Reno said she will ask a special three-judge court to give Whitewater special prosecutor Kenneth Starr the authority to oversee that probe. White House press secretary Mike McCurry said the Administration would welcome an outside investigation, and hoped that it would "shut up" GOP critics. Reno's decision to assign an independent prosecutor will deflect GOP allegations that the White House is influencing the investigation, says TIME's Jay Carney. In addition, Starr, Reno...
