Lead Story
Four families in Burlington County, N.J., filed a lawsuit against the Catholic Church in March, claiming damages for emotional distress caused by the church's failure to remove a priest, whom they had reported had sexually abused their children in 1990. The couples claim that, as result of the priest's staying at the St. Mary of the Lakes Church in Medford, N.J., they lost their faith and thus stand a lesser chance of getting into heaven.
Seeds of our destruction
The Harrisburg, Pa., PatriotNews reported in March that the state's largest health insurer, Pennsylvania Blue Shield, had bought $1.8 million worth of stock in Phillip Morris Inc. last year and nearly $10 million worth in the last three years.
In December, the Canadian mining company, Inco Ltd., informed 58 female secretaries (many in their 40s and 50s) in Sudbury, Ontario, that they had three weeks to decide whether to accept layoffs or to report for
training classes in mining. An Inco official said, "Mining is not as physically demanding as it once was."
The Charleston (S.C.) Post and Courier reported in February that a billboard company cut down more than 100 large pine trees (some more than 45 years old) and many small ones, along a small stretch of Interstate Highway 26 near Charleston. "Why did we cut them?" said an executive at Classic Outdoor Advertising. "We lease billboards, and if you can't see them, you can't sell them."

The superintendent of the Ravenswood Elementary School District in East Palo Alto, Calif., said in January that she would consider purchasing life insurance to cover funeral expenses on the district's 4,200 students because the city's homicide rate is the highest in the nation. Recently teachers and administrators were asked to contribute to the $1,500 cost of funerals of students killed in drive-by shootbenny and Joan (PG), 2, 15,

The stock price of the Australian mining firm Great Central Mines rose almost 300 percent in March. It rose when the company's chairman, Joseph Gutnick, began touring the United States with a videotape that included an endorsement of the company by the noted Rabbi of the Brooklyn, N.Y., orthodox Labavitcher Hasidic sect. Gutnick told The Wall Street Journal that Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson "has assured me both publicly and privately that I will be involved with major discoveries in both gold and diamonds (within the next six months)."
Names From Hell
Officials in Marion County, S.C., finally agreed in February to change the name of the lake next to the Great Pee Dee River in the southern part of the county. It long had been called Nigger Lake, and despite local controversy, the name still appears on a map distributed by the chamber of commerce.
