...Courier transport of all specimens will be done using a puncture-resistant carrier identical to the one we use in the laboratory," Skane wrote in the memo. "Paper bags will no longer be used to package specimens. Clear biohazard bags will be used. Specimens collected in glass must be transported in a puncture-resistant container...
...least 12 were killed, nearly all of them women and children, in the tumult of evacuating some 4,300 civilians from the besieged town of Srebrenica by two United Nations truck convoys. Desperate to escape a Serbian blockade, loads of as many as 180 people swarmed aboard the transport vehicles designed to carry sacks of food, unwittingly crushing to death the small and weak in the process.

With prices rising 28% a month, President Itamar Franco put Finance Minister Paulo Haddad on the firing line, berating him and criticizing his policies in public. Haddad, who had barely 10 weeks to settle into the job, resigned and was replaced by former Transport Minister Eliseu Resende. He is the third Finance Minister since Franco took office five months ago and Brazil's ninth in the past eight years...
