...mere $200 to $300 a year; it was defeated by a vote of 285 to 140. The White House then tried to rally support for a compromise devised by Texas Democrat Charles Stenholm, which would have prohibited the Government from setting standards for child-care centers and personnel. It went down, 230 to 195. The bill's supporters did agree to one conservative demand, deleting a ban on federal funds for church-run centers, which now provide about one-third of all child care...
...talks have been scheduled on ending the walkout. The machinists can fall back on their $90 million strike fund, but Boeing is under pressure to deliver 94 more jet airliners before year-end.

These measures seem to be working. In the past month not one fresh carcass has been found. "Everyone is keen as mustard," says Woodley, beaming. "We'll win for sure." It is too early, though, to declare victory. After...
...potential that Washington underestimated. Noriega's subsequent roundup of plotters showed that the effort reached deep into the dictator's circle. Among the 37 arrested were three of the general's closest and most trusted associates: Colonel Guillermo Wong, head of military intelligence, Colonel Julio Ow Young, who oversees personnel for the dreaded Doberman militias that have repeatedly been turned on opposition rallies, and Lieut.
