...Armed Islamic Group (G.I.A.). Two French nuns were gunned down, one fatally, as they left their home in an Algiers suburb to attend Mass, bringing the number of foreigners murdered in Algeria by Islamists to 94 in the past two years. A car bomb outside a voting station south of Algiers killed five people. Three activists from different political parties were assassinated. Then, on the eve of the election, the government announced that security forces had shot dead 16 "terrorists"--the government's invariable term for the guerrillas--and seized large quantities of weapons and explosives...
...Union was designed by McKim, Mead & White, a renowned turn-of-the-century architecture firm whose works include the Harvard Club in New York City and the Boston Public Library. The planned destruction of the hall recalls the wanton destruction of the firm's greatest work, Pennsylvania Station in New York City in 1964. This monument fell victim to the disastrous urban "renewal" programs of the '50's and the '60's. The loss of Pennsylvania Station is now universally regretted.

"We've never done anything quite like this. Flying over Russia and in range of a Russian control station, the Atlantis crew will maneuver the 100-ton shuttlecraft, with this big docking tunnel sticking 15 feet out of its payload bin, very slowly -- at the rate of an inch per second -- through a forest of antenna and solar arrays. It looks...
...reaction to Rabin's murder in some parts of the Arab world was not hopeful. Mohammed Zahhar, a leader of the terrorist organization Hamas, told the Associated Press, "He practiced all forms of violence against us. I'm joyful because he was punished." And in Beirut the Hizballah television station showed film of locals celebrating "the death of the Zionist criminal Rabin" as a news anchor told viewers, "The gunfire you hear is in celebration, but please keep your bullets for the Israeli oppressors" in southern Lebanon. When the station, Al Manar (The Lighthouse), showed footage of an Israeli...
