Paul Dinsmore, an area rancher who is also host of a right-wing Colorado radio talk show, visited the group a month ago and has been in touch with them since. "At this point they're just scared," he says. "They don't have much stored food. They know they are going to jail. They have visions of being shot, and they want their safety ensured." As for the fbi, there were no signs last week that they were fixing for a fight. Bulldozers were improving the roads in the vicinity of a farmhouse near the Clark place. If they...

This is not something completely new for communists. Even in the heyday of Soviet power, there were two tendencies in the leadership.

The space agency says the six astronauts on board are not in danger, but the shuttle's planned five-day docking with Russian space station Mir may have to be shortened. The problem developed when one of the three auxiliary power units began leaking hydraulic fluid immediately after liftoff. NASA rules stipulate that after achieving its objectives, a shuttle must return to earth as soon as possible...
