...maintaining that "it is inconceivable that behind this one murder all of a sudden you're going to get 10, 20, 30 or 40 people ... from six or seven different department organizations, to plot against Mr. Simpson." As for Fuhrman's descriptions of police misconduct, Williams snapped: "We have zero tolerance for racism, sexism and any type of anti-Semitism. That is nonnegotiable...
...coast of that island, at 10 a.m. on May 10, 1945, a Japanese Zero flew in low against the U.S. aircraft carrier Bunker Hill and crashed onto the flight deck, igniting the 30 planes waiting to fly sorties. Thirty seconds later, another Japanese suicide flight dropped out of the sky and struck the Bunker Hill amidships, ripping open a 12m. hole with the blast of its 250-kg bomb and turning the fast carrier into an inferno for the next six hours.

By a vote of 230 to 194, driven by a rump of dozens of junior members, the House voted to "zero out" all funding for the NEA by October 1997 and phase out the agency in two years. The NEH and CPB are also in peril...
