The wildest little whorehouse in the West
Article Abstract:
The Mustang Ranch in Reno, NV, the first legalized whorehouse in the US, was shut down in 1990 but opened again very soon. It has now been shut down again, with its madam, Shirley Colletti, having been convicted with a group of associates on 33 charges of racketeering, money-laundering and fraud. Its owner, Joseph Conforte, is already living as a fugitive from justice in South America. However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation cannot be entirely sure that the Mustang Ranch will not reopen.

Doctors battle to save octuplets
Article Abstract:
There is an 85% chance that the octuplets born at St Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston, TX, on Dec 20, 1998, will survive, even though they are all still critically ill. They are now being monitored very closely at Texas Children's Hospital, and will not be allowed to leave the hospital for at least two months. The pregnancy was kept very quiet, and it is believed that no form of sponsorship arrangement has yet been reached, in contrast with other recent multiple births.
