...slow lines at the airport? In the hopes of speeding things up, more than 1,000 travelers at Orlando International Airport signed up within 24 hours of last week's rollout of Clear Card, the first privately run prescreening security program. Customers who pay a $79.95 annual fee and submit to fingerprint and iris scanning--plus a background check by the Department of Homeland Security--can be ushered through a dedicated fast lane at airport security checkpoints, exempt from secondary searches. Verified Identity Pass Inc. is trying to reassure civil libertarians, who are concerned that the system could be used...
...Prime Minister Shimon Peres suggesting a meeting in Cairo at the end of the month to discuss the foundering Middle East peace process. One obstacle is the unresolved question of Taba, the 250-acre patch of Sinai Desert coastline claimed by both Israel and Egypt. Peres is ready to submit the matter to international arbitration, as advocated by Mubarak.

He frequently denies any knowledge of his organization's finances, and he recently agreed to pay a $202,000 judgment to NBC in a damage suit rather than submit to a probe of his personal wealth. Nevertheless, the indictment says LaRouche discussed the credit-card case last year, telling a subordinate, "Just keep stalling, stall and appeal, stall and appeal." At a detention hearing for two of the defendants last week, an FBI agent testified that LaRouche once reportedly said of a prosecutor...
LaRouche, who warned that he would not "submit passively to an arrest," apparently blames his troubles on the Communists: a spokesman claimed Soviet Communist Party Leader Mikhail Gorbachev had "demanded the head of LaRouche on a platter" prior to the Iceland minisummit. But his real adversaries are closer to home. The Leesburg raid was almost a community effort: residents, wary of the paranoid strangers in town, provided furtive assistance to investigators, taking down auto-license numbers of LaRouche followers and reporting suspicious behavior. LaRouche has "alienated a lot of the local people," said a police officer. "He called two elderly...
