LEAD STORIES
Dole Mania: Just before the Republican convention in August, a man carrying three suitcases climbed a 400-foot radio tower in Miami and told onlookers he would stay there until he was selected as Bob Dole's running mate.
His political platform: more horses and bicycles, less asphalt and pornography. And In Dallas, after becoming enraged at Dole's nomination on Aug. 14, Earnest Comegys, 70, went to his bedroom, grabbed a handgun, fired several shots at his cousin and stepdaughter and then shot himself to death.
NEWS FROM THE JOB MARKET
The New York Times reported in April that entomologist P. Kirk Visscher and two colleagues set out to challenge the conventional
wisdom that a human should only very carefully attempt to extract the stinger after a honeybee attack.
Their opinion is that speed of removal, not style, is more important, and they tested it the only way they knew how: Visscer took about 50 honeybees in several days, methodically rubbed each against his skin until it stung, extracted the stinger, and measured the welt.
"That's the price of fame and fortune," Visscher said.
A San Francisco Chronicle Labor Day story described several local jobs that might make its readers appreciate their own. University of California at Davis scientist Francine Bradley was interviewed because she trains workers to perform the manual
insemination of turkeys, from drawing the semen to implanting it. Turkeys genetically bred for massive breast-meat sections cannot comfortably mate on their own.
The weekly Brazilian news magazine Veja reported in April that 72 of the nation's 75 baby-chick gender inspectors are of Japanese origin and that Brazilians cannot seem to master the craft.
"You have to develop a relationship with your tom," Bradley said.
A baby chick "sexer" spends the day in a dark room with a single spotlight as he picks up and checks 16 baby chicks a minute with 99 percent accuracy. Newly hatched chicks have no external sex organs but instead have tiny appendages concealed by their feathers.
