...killer, it seems, was never on Everson's bad-trick list. He left no decipherable signature: the bags tied around his victims' heads were more likely an effort to contain the blood than a symbol of suburban anonymity. Even FBI psycho profilers were stymied, offering only that the perpetrator was probably a white male age 20 to 40. When a suspect was finally arrested, hookers recalled him as a regular, paying cash several times a month for a $28.95 room at the Spokane Budget Saver Motel. "He was a good trick," says Everson.

"People kill people." Shopworn NRA slogans won't necessarily mollify a potentially fickle market - De Beers may do better...
...With U.N. experts projecting that at least $3 billion a year is needed to simply contain the spread of HIV in the continent without even beginning to treat it, assistance from the West also becomes a matter of life and death - Africa currently spends some $15 billion each year simply on servicing its debts to the industrialized world. Of course, while Mbeki champions this point of view, domestic critics question whether it wouldn't be more persuasive if his government weren't spending some $5 billion on new jet fighters and submarines when it is AIDS, rather than some foreign...
