...Harvard SETI project received funding from NASA in 1991 until appropriations were axed by Senator Richard H. Bryan (D-Nev.) in 1994. To fund BETA, Leigh says the group relied on support from private foundations such as the Planetary Society and on sample parts donated by companies like Hewlett Packard, Micron and Intel...
Despite the gun industry's winning court record so far, the prospect of defending all these new suits has put it in a compromising mood. Last week manufacturers' representative Feldman traveled to the U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting in Reno, Nev., to discuss ways the industry and cities could reduce gun violence without getting the courts involved.

DIED. LEO BUSCAGLIA, 74, avuncular, affectionate professor and author of numerous books on the permutations of love and self-acceptance; of a heart attack; near Lake Tahoe, Nev.

...germ-making factories: of how quickly the bacteria could kill, how widely the havoc could spread, how easily the deadly spores could be obtained. And the nightmare seemed to materialize on American soil last week after the FBI arrested two men at a medical complex in Henderson, Nev. In their possession were eight to 10 flight bags containing what federal agents believed to be anthrax. More troubling was the fact that one of the men was Larry Wayne Harris, a self-styled microbiologist with white supremacist sympathies who, after an arrest in 1995 in connection with the possession of three...
