According to interviews with investigators and victims, the incident unfolded like this: Carter and Kaiser walked with a few of the strangers to a pavilion where they were suddenly thrown to the ground, kicked and punched. Nicole was stopped by two of the guys who asked her if she liked to "freak." They began beating her in the face while other members of the group began stripping off her clothes. They forced her to perform oral sex on one of the attackers while another tried to rape her from behind. She tried to escape but was pistol-whipped...
...witness stand, now that Attorney General Janet Reno has announced her opposition to the deal. Granting Huang even partial immunity, she argued, may interfere with her ongoing investigation into campaign finance irregularities. "It's basically the Ollie North rule," says TIME's John Dickerson. "North had an indictment thrown out because the partial immunity he had been granted wound up being treated as total immunity. It's just too complicated legally. And Reno's worried that she'll lose Huang." Thompson's worried too. His proposed compromise: let Huang testify without immunity, answering only the questions that he will agree...
Religious lore is full of men and women whose hearts turn spontaneously toward God--legions of Pauls thrown to the ground by the power of newfound faith.

No city's religious establishment has pursued church planting more passionately than St. Louis'. But the city's church-planting story carries an ambivalent message: while the outreach...
...ship's 43-ft. Spektr module, which contains science experiments and the American's sleeping quarters, forcing the crew to seal off that portion of the station. Damage to the solar panels cost Mir half its power, leading to a shipwide brownout, and the station itself was thrown into a sickening spin. At week's end Tsibliyev, fellow cosmonaut Alexander Lazutkin and astronaut Mike Foale were reduced to pitching camp in the dimly lighted areas of the station that still work, as failing systems caused heat and humidity to soar and Mir itself to list and drift...
...graphic descriptions. The recommended disciplinary action for getting to any base numbered higher than two (2) is 50 push-ups followed by a cold shower, except when the bases were achieved on military property, as in the backseat of a humvee, in which case 100 sit-ups will be thrown in. In general, the location of the adulterous act must be factored into the punishment: getting to third base off base is, for example, a lesser crime than getting to second base on base...
