...freestyle relay to win the meet. The Spartans, with many available swimmers, stacked their relay team with their faster swimmers. Harvard, which brought only 14 simmers, had very few rested swimmers left. But the relay team of co-captain Dave Osterhus, freshman Bryon Butts, and sophomores Kevin Stockton and Rick Osterberg pulled out the second-place finish, propelling Harvard to a two-point victory...
Steven Masone hasn't lived with ex-wife Susan Tanner for seven years, but he still can't get over one of her habits: chain smoking. It bothers him because it bothers their daughter Elysa, 8, who suffers from asthma. Masone, a minister in Stockton, California, worries that Tanner is aggravating Elysa's condition by lighting up around her.

District Attorney John Phillips has advised police chiefs of San Joaquin County that a budget crunch prevents him from prosecuting most misdemeanors. He faces a $1.1 million, or 22%, cut in his budget on June 30 if Governor Pete Wilson carries out a plan to divert local property-tax revenue to state coffers. Warned Phillips: "We have no choice but to commit remaining resources to the prosecution of the most serious crimes." Among misdemeanors, only drunken driving, domestic violence and resisting arrest will be prosecuted. Phillips may be trying to scare...
