...auction of John F. Kennedy memorabilia opened Wednesday, but some items were withdrawn to settle disputes with the National Archives and Kennedy's children, and some valuable lots went unsold. The sale at New York's Guernsey's auction house was sparsely attended, and several of the highest-priced items (which carried only "estimate upon request" designations) failed to sell. These included a Tiffany & Co. Cuban missile crisis calendar paperweight. An asking bid of $300,000 dropped to $100,000 but still failed to draw any interest.

...Iraq targeted Ritter because he was investigating Iraqi techniques of concealing evidence and how Baghdad was able to spy on UNSCOM," says Dowell. Ritter left Iraq Friday ? rotated, not withdrawn ? after having been stopped from making inspections all week. But the evasion began earlier: As Dowell says, "the Iraqis appear to be aware in advance of UNSCOM's intentions." When the U.N. inspectors went in search of a set of documents from an Iraqi facility Monday, all the documents on their list ? and only those ? were missing...
