- MIRACLE ON 34th ST.Tragedy was avoided this morning when a little girl, Abby Miller, age 5, was hit by a drunk driver on 34th Street. Onlookers and her distraught parents suspected the girl was not going to make it to the hospital, when a silver haired newcomer chanced upon the scene - some say out of nowhere. Despite protests, the newcomer laid a hand upon the girl's forehead, and within minutes the child's injuries had healed. The locals were unable to keep the newcomer from leaving shortly afterward.
- SECOND DECAPITATION MURDER SHOCKS MALLGOERS The body of a female victim, probably a sex worker by the coroner's examination, was found a block west of the Sector 1 entrance to the Underground Mall this morning, sprawled beneath a tree in a residential park.
