...truly gone now, forever, with no reconciliation of our tensions forthcoming. He stuck a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger two weekends ago, although our family theory favors the explanation that he actually deigned to kill himself in a friend's pickup truck, but the friend drove it away before he awoke that morning. The truck happened to be decked in blue and gold, with a huge "ND" insignia painted on the flatbed--had he done it his way, he would have gone down with his ship, we suppose...did the Fiesta Bowl blowout contribute to that decision...

...abrupt reversal from its stance just two months back, the Clinton Administration today announced a deal with General Motors that frees the auto maker from recalling five million pickup trucks alleged to be unsafe in some collisions. In return GM agreed to spend about $50 million in safety and research programs. The move is a 180-degree switch by the government: On October 17, Transportation Secretary Federico Pena issued a scathing attack on GM, saying that the trucks -- made between 1973 and 1987 -- present an unreasonable risk of fire in side-impact collisions since their fuel tanks are mounted outside...
