...county, which has a discretionary-spending budget of $275 million, must find another way to make up the $140 million a year that the tax increase would have raised. The prospect horrifies county sheriff Brad Gates, who predicts he will have to close the county's crime lab and bomb squad and release prisoners early, and that the D.A. will prosecute only the most serious crimes. Others claim he is an alarmist and that by selling assets like the John Wayne Airport the county can meet its obligations. Claims Supervisor William Steiner: "There is no interest by this board...
Aaron's journal, as well as diaries kept by other campers and an inquiry conducted by Garfield County deputy sheriff Celeste Bernards, tells a more harrowing story. Early in the trip he developed intense stomach pain, which an autopsy later revealed was caused by an ulcer, according to testimony by Utah chief medical examiner Todd Grey at last month's pretrial hearing. In a civil suit, Aaron's parents claim that some counselors taunted him for slowing down the group.

The company sent him home not really expecting that the department's 11-man team would come close to breaking an international counterfeiting ring...
...government as its main adversary, the 124-year-old organization is at peak power. Annual revenues for 1994 stood at $148 million, up 16% over the prior year, and membership has surged to a record 3.5 million members. "That's twice as many as the Christian Coalition," boasts Arizona sheriff Richard Mack. At the same time, the N.R.A. has developed a grass-roots network of political activists that, at a time of low voter turnout, is inspiring a new level of fear on Capitol Hill.
