...With its sun-drenched climate and beloved football team, Florida's Gainesville has long been an idyllic college party town. But that image was shattered last week. As students began fall classes, one male and three female students at the University of Florida and another woman at Santa Fe Community College were found stabbed or bludgeoned to death in off-campus apartments. Three of the victims were mutilated; one, an 18-year-old female honor student, was decapitated...

"To be anthropocentric," he said, "is to remain unaware of the limits of human nature, the significance of biological processes underlying human behavior, and the deeper meaning of long-term genetic evolution...
Saddam is slowly choking all life out of Kuwait. People stay in their homes, afraid to venture into the streets, where garbage smolders and the shells of stripped and abandoned cars, many of them disabled Iraqi military vehicles, glisten beneath the sun. Refugees report a deepening water shortage, and there is concern that the all-important desalinization plant is not being properly attended to. "There is no maintenance," says a Kuwaiti refugee in Saudi Arabia. "Sooner or later everything is going to break down...
