Church arsons decline despite rise at black churches
Federal officials report a nationwide downward trend in church arsons since 1991, though arsons at black churches climbed to 98 through October 1996. About 20 percent of 301 fire cases this year were accidental, limiting prosecutions with only 2 percent of arson cases ending in conviction. Virginia O'Brien and Rachael Rowland note improved reporting and ongoing investigations.

Caviar shortage looms due to heavy fishing warns WWF
Conservationists warn a caviar shortage may hit this holiday season as Russian and Iranian trawlers overfish sturgeon. The WWF says much of so called caviar may be ordinary fish eggs, with genuine Beluga selling for over $80 an ounce. The report cites dwindling Caspian sturgeon populations and urges tighter import controls, sea bans, labeling, and potential Caspian trade restrictions.

Submerged village offers Ice Age transition clues in Florida
In Florida’s Aucilla River region a 10,000-year-old submerged village preserved in clay reveals how early Archaic people adapted to drastic climate shifts after the Ice Age. Archaeologist Brinnen Carter notes a denser, less nomadic settlement, with reduced reliance on mammoths and mastodons, as sea levels changed and the landscape dried into savanna-like conditions.
