FEC seeks ruling against Coalition in candidate aid case
The Federal Election Commission asks U.S. District Judge Joyce Green to declare that the Christian Coalition improperly aided Republican candidates through voter guides and other activities.

Crash recorders stop six minutes before Swissair 111 crash
Halifax reports that both the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder stopped six minutes before the MD 11 disaster off Nova Scotia. Investigators say this timing suggests a crippling systems failure prior to the plunge that killed 229 aboard. The loss of data obscures the pilots' final exchange after declaring an emergency over cockpit smoke and their demand to land immediately.
