Tijuana mayor warns city street lights may end amid unpaid bill
TMUANA Mexico AP Mayor Fernando Marquez Arce says lights in City Hall were turned off over an unpaid $900 owed to the federal power agency. A noon Tuesday deadline passed with no payment triggering potential street light outages and traffic disruption.

Drugging of Nixon aides feared in 71 foreign trip
Former CIA science chief Sidney Gottlieb testified before a Senate panel that he was asked to determine if any members of President Nixon's traveling party were drugged during a 1971 trip to an unfriendly country. He asserted Nixon was not drugged, but said Nixon’s personal physician Walter Tkash and others showed disoriented behavior and inappropriate tears. White House records indicate Nixon did not travel to unfriendly countries in 1971, with trips only to the Azores, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Virgin Islands.
