...such key characters as Metzger, his son John and skinhead martyr Geremi Rineman, who was paralyzed during a racial gunfight. Neo-Nazis generally agree that the Metzgers set the standard for inventive recruiting when John insulted Roy Innis of the Congress of Racial Equality during a 1988 Geraldo Rivera show and started a slugfest. Rivera got a broken nose in the ensuing brawl, and White Aryan Resistance's telephone lines lit up with new members. "After that," notes Leyden, "when somebody said he joined in 1988, we knew he was a Geraldo skin...
...scheduled to speak Tuesday night. For her whole career, Molinari has opposed calls for a constitutional amendment banning abortion, and the prosecution of doctors who perform them, two items specifically mentioned in the Republican Party Platform. Bob Dole picked Molinari for the role in a gesture TIME's Elaine Rivera calls "an olive branch to moderate, pro-choice Republicans."

Divers have described the hazards of exploring the wreckage in the dark as equivalent to diving into an underwater junkyard. TIME's Elaine Rivera reports from East Moriches: "Divers are having serious problems getting to parts of the plane. Every day that goes by brings us less and less information, and threatens to destroy evidence through prolonged exposure to seawater, but the investigators are holding on. They are still determined to find the answers...
...investigators maintained that the victims are still their first priority. One official from the National Transportation Safety Board said families have been shown videotapes from the ocean floor to help them understand the hostility and danger of the environment in which divers are working. Says TIME's Elaine Rivera: "Eventually the families will get over the initial shock of their loss, and anger will begin to set in. Then, they'll want to know who did this. So investigators are put in a difficult situation of balancing both the retrieval of bodies and the parts of the plane that could...
