The vanishing lake that could leave a tourist industry high and dry
Article Abstract:
Calls from the Sierra Club, a leading US environmental group, for Arizona's Lake Powell to be drained have attracted mixed reactions. Some environmentalists believe that the Glen Canyon Dam, which is responsible for the lake, is causing environmental damage to the Grand Canyon, where water flow is now greatly reduced. This is causing beaches to silt up and rare species of fish to die off. However, other observers feel that Lake Powell is a vital part of Arizona's image.

Bomber who struck at the heart of America
Article Abstract:
It proved complicated for prosecutors to secure the conviction of Timothy McVeigh for the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, in which 168 people died. They were able to produce evidence of motive and intent, but had no eyewitness evidence that he was at the scene of the crime and no confession. However, they were able to make effective use of evidence from survivors of the bombing, and also obtained evidence against McVeigh from his own sister and close friends.

OJ Simpson's great vanishing act
Article Abstract:
The trial of OJ Simpson received extensive media coverage, but public interest in him has now declined dramatically. Other public figures, such as Louis Farrakhan and Colin Powell, have now captured the popular imagination, and the civil trial in the wrongful death suit brought against Simpson by the families of the murder victims, which is set to take place in Apr 1996, may not even be televised. It is now possible that Simpson will sink into obscurity.
