...missile theory has been largely discredited. Several spectators said they saw a red streak approach the plane before it burst into flames, sparking concern that something like a Katyusha rocket had been fired at the jet. Investigators have shown, however, that an explosion from a bomb could produce the optical illusion of such an attack as gas poured out of the pressurized cabin...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: As the GOP convention draws nearer, pro-life Republicans are determined that the anti-abortion plank in their party platform will not change. But many Republicans oppose the abortion ban. An Associated Press poll discovered a wide moderate streak on abortion among Republican National Convention delegates. About 34 percent want to remove the plank supporting a constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion, while fewer than half of the delegates want to retain the controversial language.

...sophomore, but he suffered a stress fracture in one leg. The next year a pulled quadriceps caused him to miss most of the outdoor season. "The adversity helped him," says Hart. "He was like hammered steel." Johnson stayed healthy in 1990 and began a 47-race winning streak (31 in the 200 and 16 in the 400) that carried him to the 1991 world championship in the 200. At the Olympic trials in '92, he ran the 200 in 19.79 seconds, the fastest time in four years, and he seemed poised for stardom in Barcelona. But then he got food...
