Retired Troops Face Health Care Crunch Over Closures
Chief Warrant Officer Donald Morgan and his wife Lucile, long served by free military health care, face higher costs after a base hospital closed near Merced California. With care now 120 miles away at best and VA options limited, their annual out of pocket costs rose to about 4000 dollars. The case highlights a broader debate on Medicare subvention and Pentagon coverage as Congress and the Clinton administration explore demonstration projects to subsidize civilian care for retirees.

Aqua Avenger paints over Bay Area graffiti crusade
A one man graffiti cleaner dubbed the Aqua Avenger covers Castro Valley and Hayward walls with aqua paint to erase tags.

Swastikas appeared at Fort Bragg gas station during a weekend break in, alongside a $15,000 merchandise theft. Maj. Gerald O'Hara notes the symbols were drawn counter clockwise, unlike a true Nazi swastika.
