Nonsense. Altman may spend his time watching "The Gordon Eliot Show" or Connie Chung's latest deceptions, but the rest of us get more news than we can stand. Every hour on the hour nearly every radio station gives us all the latest from Washington, D.C. and Beacon Hill. And then we have the nightly news, reporting on the latest political events every evening. I swear if I have to hear any more about the Contract With America I am going to bust. Or maybe change the channel. The last thing we need is a mandatory five minutes of Newt...

It began on April 28 when a Croat stabbed an ethnic Serb motorist to death at a gas station along the highway linking Zagreb to eastern Croatia and Serbia.

...Friday -- Children's Day in Japan -- employees at a Tokyo subway station extinguished two burning plastic bags of chemicals left in a men's room before their fumes could combine to form enough hydrogen cyanide to kill 10,000 people in seconds. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. Meanwhile, Japanese police, continuing their investigation of the Aum Shinrikyo cult, arrested the group's top lawyer, Yoshinobu Aoyama, on charges of slander. As in other arrests, police have so far avoided charging that the cult was involved in the March 20 gassing on the Tokyo subway...
