Partial Verdict The embattled jury in the Reginald Denny trial told Judge John Ouderkirk they had decided on nine counts against two black defendants but were deadlocked on seven others. Ouderkirk will tell the panel this week whether to continue deliberations...
...endless muddy stream of epithets and tobacco juice. If it had a clotheshorse, it would be John Kruk, the Shmoo-shaped first baseman who tore his pants lunging for a ball early in the final game and, either defiantly or absentmindedly, left his underwear on display for the next seven innings. And if ugly had a poster boy, it would be Mitch (''Wild Thing'') Williams, the reliever who has destroyed nearly as many games as he has saved but is the beneficiary of something like divine luck. Infernal, for the Braves. They won 104 games this season, a franchise record...
...size only to the $25 billion purchase of RJR Nabisco by buyout barons Kohlberg Kravis Roberts in 1988. The new giant would boast 28 million cable and phone customers across the U.S. and combined revenues of more than $16 billion, making it by far the largest of the seven Baby Bell companies that were spun off from AT&T in 1984. Most important, the merger would hasten the arrival of what has been called the ''electronic superhighway,'' a widely heralded (and sometimes wildly hyped) system that will soon deliver to American homes everything from video games and movies on demand...
...Regala, the Interior Minister and a member of the ruling junta. Regala was blamed for a clash between demonstrators and security forces that occurred in April at the notorious Fort Dimanche Prison during a memorial service for thousands of Haitians who died there during the Duvalier dictatorship.

Perhaps most important, however, Haitians were upset about the disastrous state of the economy and the slow pace of reform. Last week Foreign Minister Jean-Baptiste Hilaire met with U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz in Washington and was promised...
...form that won him British Open Championships in 1986 and 1993. But his final-round 77 and tied third-place finish behind England's Ian Poulter further cement his standing as golf's most heartbreaking avatar of almost-but-not-quite. Yesterday included, Norman has now led seven times going into the final day of a major without going on to win (his only front-of-the-pack victory was at Turnberry in 1986). He will remain one of the sport's great tragic figures, his career marked by bad luck (consider the 1987 Masters, when Larry Mize miraculously holed...
