Judge tosses murder charge against Dr. Death
A Michigan judge dismissed a first degree murder charge against Dr. Jack Kevorkian, saying aiding a suicide of Alzheimer's patient Janet Adkins was not illegal under state law. The ruling followed a two day hearing and a taped confession from Adkins. Prosecutors may appeal to Circuit Court to reinstate or upgrade the charge. The device remains under court order and police custody pending a civil case in January.

NRC tightens radiation limits first time in 30 years
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission raised radia tion-exposure caps for nuclear plant workers and nearby residents. The reforms, approved unanimously, set year 1993 deadlines: general population up to 100 millirems annually and workers at 5 rems per year, with stricter dose-reduction policies to be required rather than encouraged. Reaction from anti-nuclear groups criticized the move as outdated and insufficient.
