Thrust into the spotlight because of President Bush's health problems, Vice President Dan Quayle continues to stir deep anxiety among Americans, with 62 percent saying they worry about the prospect of a Quayle Presidency, the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll has found. Nearly three years of careful image-grooming have done little to improve the public's perception of the 44-year-old Mr. Quayle, the poll suggests: Only 19 percent of those who participated in the survey say they have a favorable opinion of the Vice President. Twenty-two percent held that view just after the election in November 1988, three months after Mr. Bush stunned much of the political world by selecting the young Senator from Indiana as his running mate.

Abroad at Home; Abusing The Law

American law offers numerous examples of vexatious litigation -- abusive, inflated, meritless lawsuits. But my candidate for the prize in outrageousness is a libel suit still making its way through the courts. It is called Immuno A.G. v. Moor-Jankowski. The case began in 1983 with a letter to the editor of the Journal of Medical Primatology, a specialist journal with just 300 subscribers. The letter was from Dr. Shirley McGreal, chairwoman of the International Primate Protection League.

This week there were two memorial services for Gad Gross, one in New York, the other in Boston. There has not yet been a funeral. Neither his family, his friends nor those they have interested in his case have been able to persuade the Iraqis to produce his body.

Two journalists with him were hiding in a ditch when they heard him screaming. The screams stopped after the sound of gunfire. "He shoot himself," said a soldier.

Date: 09 May 1991
Reuters
The Intermec Corporation, a maker of bar code reading devices, said its $24 a share takeover by a unit of Litton Industries could close as scheduled because the Federal Trade Commission had not requested additional information on the $200 million deal. Intermec said the waiting period required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antiturst Improvements Act of 1976 had passed without any such request being made. The tender offer is due to close on May 16.
