Abuse allegations spark multiple lawsuits over Brazoria jail video
Missouri inmates represented by Sylvester James and Craig Heidemann filed about 100 lawsuits against Brazoria County and CCRI over a videotaped 1996 shakedown showing inmates being kicked shocked with a stun gun bitten by a police dog exposed to tear gas and strip searched. The case includes the state's August 1996 breach of contract suit alleging cover up and the 1.8 million annual CCRI profit from housing Missouri inmates before contract ended.

UT scientists use phorid flies to fight fire ants
In Austin UT researchers test parasitic phorid flies imported from Brazil to curb imported fire ants. A 4900 square foot UT lab hosts an incubator to rear the flies, with field releases planned in Central and South Texas by 2000. Financing comes from ranchers and private foundations seeking reduced pesticide use.
