...reward for information leading to Cunanan's arrest. On Saturday night, Miami Beach police said they were exploring the possibility that he may be masquerading as a woman to elude capture. "He may have shaved all of his body hair to enhance this appearance," said a spokesman. Cunanan was fingered as a possible suspect in two other murders in the Miami area. He has been ruled out as a suspect in the killing of Silvio Alfonso, 44, a Cuban-born physician whose body was found on Thursday in Miami Springs. But police are still investigating whether Cunanan may have been...
...million confiscated Swiss francs to the Vatican "for safekeeping." En route, some 150 million were apparently seized by British authorities at the Austrian-Swiss border. The balance was held in the Vatican. The Vatican is denying the charge. "There is no basis in reality to the report," said Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls. He said it is based on an anonymous source, apparently a U.S. intelligence agent, "whose reliability is more than dubious."

Jonathan Sallet, MCI's chief policy counsel, says PacBell takes an average of three weeks to switch on MCI customers in California, although PacBell switches on its own clients in seven days. Replies a spokesman for PacBell parent SBC: "We have spent $1.2 billion to fulfill our obligation to open our networks. You'd be hard-pressed to find another company that has committed so many resources to helping competitors take its customers...
...bills out of the goodness of their heart," charged attorney Stanley Rosenblatt, who is representing flight attendants suing the tobacco industry over second-hand smoking ills suffered in airplanes. "That was a means of buying his silence and his cooperation so he would not be a spokesman for the opposite position." LeBow didn't disagree. "We accepted it for a while, but they canceled after about five, six months," he testified. During an often blunt-spoken 90 minutes of testimony, LeBow wasn't asked why Philip Morris stopped subsidizing him. Perhaps they saw no motive for LeBow to speak...
