Ortega Sandinistas Edge Chamorro In Close Nicaragua Vote
Voters turnout for a landmark election as Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas challenge Violeta Chamorro and the opposition. Polls predicted a Chamorro lead, but many kept their views hidden until the secret ballot. Amid inflation and wartime memories, supporters celebrated while the Sandinistas warned of postwar economic shifts and a mixed economy. International observers monitored a peaceful vote with a large turnout and a cautious Washington response from President Bush.

Tokyo Stocks Fall as Nikkei Plunges in Sharp One Day Drop
Tokyo's main index dropped 4.5 percent with the Nikkei 225 sliding 1,569.10 points to 33,321.87, the second-worst one day fall on record. The dollar strengthened against the yen by 2.18 to 148.65, while bonds held firm with the 10 year yield easing to 6.875 percent. Analysts cited a vicious cycle of cheap yen, cheap stocks, and cheap bonds dragging each other lower, and noted possible policy tweaks were unlikely soon. Hong Kong markets also weakened on thin trading in response.
