...signs that virtue is growing ever more chic: actor Charlie Sheen, who ran up a $50,000 tab with the Heidi Fleiss escort service, has declared himself a born-again Christian. ("There's such a thing as having too much fun," he concluded after years of arduous research.) Geraldo Rivera, who pioneered the craft of filing video dispatches from the primordial ooze, now bemoans the filth of daytime TV and vows to clean up his act. ("I'm sick of the garbage that is on.") A p.r. executive whose past clients include Michael Jackson is leading a campaign to build...
SMITHTOWN, New York: TIME's Elaine Rivera says some reporters may be jumping the gun with reports stating that searchers found explosive residue on wreckage from TWA flight 800. Investigators are not ready to rule out mechanical failure as a cause of the crash, she reports, nor are they prepared to turn the case over to the FBI.

Bob Dole picked Molinari for the role in a gesture TIME's Elaine Rivera calls "an olive branch to moderate, pro-choice Republicans." Falling into step with the moderate line that dissent is healthy, Molinari has already said she will not mention the divisive abortion issue. Tuesday morning, she downplayed her speech entirely, doubting anyone would remember anything beyond her ringing endorsement of Dole...
...teenage population over the next ten years. Since the majority of violent crimes are committed by young men, the rise is a potential demographic time bomb. "It is too early to tell if the decline is merely a blip, or an actual trend," says TIME's Elaine Rivera. "But it is consistent with a general decline in crime in cities across the country. The real question is whether federal, state, and city governments will continue long term youth programs shown to be helpful in addressing the problems young people have and combating crime. When we see consistent support of these...
