A tragic abdication of power
Article Abstract:
The deaths when Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents stormed the compound of the Branch Davidians near Waco, TX, and the continued standoff between the two groups sprang from an abdication of power by both sides. The Branch Davidians abdicated theirs to God and David Koresh. The government was surely motivated by power more than reason when it dispatched 100 armed troops with a search warrant for illegal guns and they launched a surprise attack rather than politely serving the warrant.

Life on hold
Article Abstract:
Laura McIntyre, a 14-year-old girl, was taken to a neuro-surgical unit and given a CT scan which revealed a large right temporo-parieto-occipital haemorrhage. An angiography showed an arteriovenous malformation, fed by the posterior cerebral circulation. Before surgery was carried out, Laura's neurological responses were observed every half-hour, and after she was transferred to the high-dependency area. Information on Laura's treatment is included.
