Researchers seeking the cause of multiple sclerosis, a disabling disease involving damage to the protective sheathing around nerve fibers, have long suspected that the answer might lie in a delayed reaction to a viral infection contracted years in the past. One suspect has been the measles virus, but 90% or more of all Americans in the prevaccination era got measles, while only a fraction of 1% developed MS. Now three New Jersey physicians have developed preliminary data suggesting that exposure to pet dogs may be related...
...years that followed, Johnson-acting alone or as a member of a three-judge panel-desegregated public facilities, voided attempts to evade such orders through "private" schools, abolished the poll tax, ordered legislative reapportionment based on population, mandated the inclusion of women on jury rolls, expanded a suspect's right to counsel and established a "right to treatment" for mental patients. Martin Luther King Jr.-who was, ironically, being wiretapped and harassed by the FBI -once said of Judge Johnson: "That is the man who gives true meaning to the word justice...

Ballistics tests showed that the .44-cal. revolver seized from Berkowitz had fired the shots that killed Stacy Moskowitz. The only legal defense against a murder conviction seemed...
...have formed organizations to combat the cult and have called in help from various professional "deprogrammers." The Children blame unspecified "enemies" for the death of at least one disciple, whose nude body, with several internal organs crushed, was found last year at a medieval fortress in Belgium. Opponents suspect the sect itself, and police have never solved the case. Moses David's son Paul died under similar circumstances in Switzerland...
