Although Giacalone had notified the court of the Lofaro tapes in July, their existence was kept secret until last week at her request because he was still involved in undercover work. Gotti's attorney, Bruce Cutler, called the last-minute disclosure "outrageous," insisting that the evidence should have been shown to defense attorneys months ago. "There has been a constant attempt by the Government to try Mr. Gotti by ambush," said Cutler. "They are not going to succeed." Nevertheless, the Government obviously hopes the tapes will prove that the most damaging witness against Gotti is the boss himself...
...physicians to the disaster site, one team assigned to identify the specific gas involved in the catastrophe, the other to study what had happened and determine whether a recurrence was possible. The $250,000 U.S. aid package, which included tents and food supplies, came in response to a request from Biya for assistance. Canada, Britain, West Germany and Spain also responded to the call, sending money and tons of medical and food supplies.

...recent years, the twin pillars of the Bolivian economy have been cocaine and tin. The illicit cocaine trade was jolted in July, when President Victor Paz Estenssoro heeded a Washington request and invited U.S. troops to participate in raids on Bolivian drug labs. Now Paz Estenssoro faces a crisis over tin. When more than 5,000 miners marched toward the capital city of La Paz last week to protest present layoffs and future mine closings, Paz Estenssoro responded by declaring a state of siege. Bolivian soldiers promptly halted the advance. Meanwhile, police arrested at least 162 persons, including labor leaders...
