...clearly defining who was to blame for what Goode called "one of the most devastating days in the history of our city." Goode continued to insist that he was misled by subordinates who provided him with imprecise information. Contradictory statements by the mayor, Police Commissioner Gregore Sambor, Fire Commissioner William Richmond and City Managing Director Leo Brooks, who has since resigned, were not resolved. At issue was whether the mayor knew that police intended to use explosives on Move's fortified compound as part of their original assault plan, and whether he also knew that a police helicopter would...

So the villain, Counterfeiter Willem Dafoe, is no more rotten or less picturesque than the hero, William Petersen. So everybody stinks. It matters...
When Nevado del Ruiz, the Colombian volcano, blew up last week after 400 years of dormancy, the news did not take long to reach B. William Mader, TIME's deputy chief of correspondents. Already up and around at 6 a.m. in his New York City apartment, Mader dispatched Caribbean Bureau Chief Bernard Diederich to Colombia, then quickly ascertained that TIME's Tom Quinn, who works out of Bogotá, was already on the story. As the death toll mounted, Mader decided to send Rio de Janeiro Bureau Chief Gavin Scott, who was covering Halley's comet, to Bogotá to join...
