...hunt for the Beltway sniper, one intriguing clue was a spent shell casing found outside the middle school. Like a spent slug, a casing can help narrow down the type of gun that may have been used. So far, ballistics tests have not pinpointed the sniper's weapon. But investigators appear particularly interested in individuals known to possess a Colt AR-15, the civilian version of the M-16 infantry rifle, or a Sturm-Ruger Mini-14 rifle. Both are semiautomatic rifles, popular with target shooters, criminals and some domestic extremist groups...
...willing to step in after Amy Fisher's parole officer forbade her to participate in the bout against TONYA HARDING. It would seem Harding and Jones haven't watched many professional boxing weigh-ins, where taunting is the norm. Instead, the two interacted warmly when they met before their slug fest. The March 13 bill will also pair Todd Bridges of Diff'rent Strokes against rapper Vanilla Ice, as well as Danny Bonaduce of The Partridge Family against The Brady Bunch's Barry Williams.

Navy SEALS and Green Berets massed on the ground, shawls wrapped around their heads, lasers in hand, guiding the B-1s and B-52s overhead. Snipers capable of putting a slug into a dime from more than a mile away waited for the call. Afghan Alliance commanders may have been willing to negotiate a surrender, but the U.S. special forces were there to get a job done...
...early age because there at least they would get a meal and some education. What they missed was any contact with women. They grew estranged from even their mothers and sisters, and they feel more comfortable around men. It's common to see two young Taliban strolling around, rifles slug over their shoulders, laughing and holding hands. The Taliban would thrash any male-female couple who dared hold hands in public...
