Ordinarily far less intense and visible only in arctic climes, the glowing, flickering aurora was seen as far south as Brownsville, Texas, and Key West, Fla. Alarmed Floridians, unfamiliar with the lights and fearing that a catastrophe had occurred somewhere in the north, flooded police switchboards with calls...
...your joysticks, everyone. Video-game nostalgia has arrived. Never mind that the genre is less than two decades old. The first coin- operated video game -- a rather drab, black-and-white job called Computer Space -- was introduced in 1971, to a notably tepid reception. Since then, arcades have seen a parade of breakthrough hits, technological advances, a boom period and then a falloff in popularity.

A handwriting analyst, formerly with the FBI, contends that they were written in Rose's hand. Meanwhile, as the two-day hearing adjourned last Friday, the Reds' manager was at an autograph show in Atlantic City, stoically selling his signature at $15 per scribble. "Being fair and legally correct aren't always the same thing," Judge Norbert A. Nadel noted, though hoping to be both. He promised a decision ^ on Sunday. Rose's hearing before Giamatti was scheduled...
