LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
hatever an investigation of the Waco incident of 1993 reveals, the reality is that the fatal error occurred because federal agents did not take the David Koresh and the Branch Davidians seriously enough to do their homework on the sect's apocalyptic beliefs.
Rowdiness at a run-down Austin motel has spilled out into the adjoining streets of the neighborhood, resulting in burglarized houses and trashed yards, and residents want something done about the problem.
David Franklin's wife took their six children and disappeared. She said they were being abused by her husband. He said he never touched them. Who do you believe? And how would you find out the truth?
Plus, Nashville tries a different kind of public housing, some of Chicago's odd jobs, Mexican miners get the shaft, and more.
