Dressed in a presidential blue suit and with his black Labrador, Breezy, at his side, Dan Quayle looked and sounded every bit the candidate last Tuesday, as he chatted with a Time correspondent in the living room of his two-story white-brick home in an affluent northern suburb of Indianapolis. He eagerly outlined the themes of his campaign. Insisting that he felt vigorous despite treatment for blood clots last December and the removal of his appendix because of a benign tumor a month later, Quayle delighted in the belief that his message of family values was gaining currency. ``There...
...most extensive and painstaking manhunts in U.S. history. If he is found guilty, he may be imprisoned for life, without the possibility of parole.

According to government and congressional investigators, hundreds of other loans went to relatives and friends of bank managers and directors, as well as to real-estate operators who had the appropriate political connections. Laissez-faire took...
...federal judge today cleared the way for what could become a historic, industry-breaking class action lawsuit against American tobacco makers. The suit charges that top tobacco firms knew nicotine was addictive and manipulated itslevels in cigarettesto keep customers hooked. U.S. District Judge Okla Jones certified the suit, filed by a smoker's widow and three current smokers in New Orleans, as a class action, which means that anyone in the country who has failed to quit despite a doctor's warning that smoking is unhealthy may join the suit. Defendants include American Tobacco, Philip Morris, R.J. Reynolds, Lorillard...
