...acquisitions today-a helium-neon laser, a flow meter, some bookends, a Rolodex, a light table, a 3-ft.-tall thermos for liquid nitrogen, a massive pneumatically operated vacuum valve-will go into storage with the rest, waiting for a buyer. "I've got $20 million-that's Government cost, not mine-worth of stuff," says Grothus. "I'm looking for someone to sell it to for 10? on the dollar. I'm trying to sell it to the People's Republic of China. It's usable. It would fill the technical and scientific...

And at 5 ft. 4½ in. and 180 Ibs., he fitted the description of the tall, lean robbers in only one way: he was black. Despite the reluctance of citizens to second-guess the police, who continued to insist that Bowden was a criminal, an all-white jury found the killing to be a "wrongful death," and awarded his widow Patricia a judgment, still unpaid, that...
