...suspect that one of the reasons I was selected is because I deal honestly with the problems that face this nation and because I care. I don't think you're going to see a change in that. I think what you're going to see is that perhaps the free-spirited approach will be done more privately when it comes to discussing issues. I recognize what the job of Vice President is, and I intend to work with Walter Mondale very closely in order to fulfill his commitment to his policies. I don't fudge...
...rumor in Laguna Niguel, Calif., was that Building Contractor Frederick Penney, 57, embittered by a divorce contest, wanted to hire a hitman to kill his wife. So an agent of the Orange County sheriffs department, posing as a killer for hire, arranged a meeting with the suspect. The upshot, say investigators: a $3,000 contract to kill Susan Penney, 35.

Unable to find the proper warrant form, the officer unsuccessfully tried to alter a form normally used in drug cases. A judge okayed the warrant, and Sheppard was convicted. But because of this technical imperfection, Massachusetts highest court declared the search illegal and threw out the incriminating evidence, including bloody clothing, that had been found...
...removing a tooth from each of the attackers. Such are the rulings that have characterized the first seven weeks since emergency courts were set up to enforce the Islamic law of Sudanese President Gaafar Nimeiri. In September the President may make his system even more implacable, Western diplomats suspect, by declaring Sudan a full-fledged Islamic state...
