A ski trip to Colorado sparked a measles outbreak across six states, with at least 176 cases. The Joplin woman and an Elsah Illinois girl contracted it after exposure to an infected skier who was likely symptom-free during March.

The Public health official urged vaccination to stamp out the disease, noting vaccine-preventable status and historical high fatality without vaccination.
Washington reports that Aldrich Ames feared exposure as a Soviet spy inside the CIA if KGB officer Vitaly Yurchenko defected to the United States.
