Computers don't make mistakes; people do. At least that's the popular
wisdom within engineering coteries. Well, somebody made a small mistake
with Time Magazine's computers, and whoever it was obviously is no college
football afficiando. Hundreds of Ann Arbor graduates recently received

(name): Congratulations on ending (almost) your school career at Ohio
State." Well, at least it didn't say "Slippery Rock." O
Man bites dog dept.
Israel Radio reported yesterday that a donkey bit his aged master to
death. Ibrahim Kandil, 70, of a village near Ramallah in the occupied West
Bank of the Jordan River, found his father lying dead in a field near his
home, the donkey's teeth-marks on his body, the radio said. Police believe
the elder Kandil, whose age was not reported, was trying to bridle the
animal when it broke free, pushed him to the ground, and bit him to death.
Police are searching for the donkey. O

Today's skies will be mostly sunny except for an occasional volcanic
ash cloud. The temperature is expected to reach the mid-70s-evidence that
the cooling effects of Mount St. Helens' eruption have not yet hit. E
