School hit for ousting boy in sex case Albany
Albany education commissioner Thomas Sobol said consensual sex among students can implicate both sexes and a three month suspension may be too harsh after two Farmingdale High School students were found having sex on January 13 1989. The hearing officer noted the girl’s involvement was voluntary and active. Police investigate a separate home homicide in Hopewell Junction where a husband and wife were found dead after a burglary on Brandy Lane in East Fishkill.

Slayings probe at standstill prompts Congress pressure
A House Democratic panel reports the El Salvador Jesuit killings probe is at a standstill due to Salvadoran authorities' slow effort to determine if senior officers ordered or concealed the crime.
