John McGowan of the New York A.C., upset one year ago, returned and won the grand master singles for the fifth time in six years in 21:35.35. Sybil Nestor of New York's Sagamore R.C. won the women's title in 29:55.08, defeating McGowan's wife, Carol, by nearly two seconds...
...good spooks outfox the bad spooks by dealing in deceit and deception. In the real world of counterespionage, the FBI is taking a much more candid approach. This month it began running an unusual help-wanted ad in a Russian-language newspaper in New York City to make a very public plea: anyone having "direct knowledge of KGB methods or operations" should call or write the nearest FBI office.

The automatic cutoffs, or "circuit breakers," slowed the contracts' drop. In 1987 parallel free falls in New York and Chicago, which are linked by computerized trading programs, had aggravated the collapse. But last week some Chicago traders claimed that the stoppages in futures trading restricted the ability of some investors to hedge their losses, forcing them to dump stocks and exacerbating the selling frenzy in Manhattan...
