- TEXAS MODEL COMES CLEAN, MAKES NEW LIFE IN THE CAPITAL: Former
Cassidy Brennon Models' star pupil, Jaymes Lovier, has apparently cleared
his name of any wrongdoing in the tragic death of his mentor, Cassidy
Brennon. A little over a month ago, his sponsor was killed in a freak
automobile accident outside their hotel while in Washington on
business. 
Lovier
has decided to stay in the area, and is fast establishing himself in the
community. Sources say he was recently offered a quite lucrative slot in
the Abercrombie & Fitch print ads stable through Capitol Casting.
Additionally, he has occasionally been seen around town in such varied
night spots as Web of Night and the Phantasm, the latter frequently taking
in Aki Oshii's torch singer performances of late.

MICHIGAN—City Councilman Leonard Dates was shot and killed
today, after a stand-off with police at radio station WKNN. Dates
had taken captives and hijacked the station’s broadcast,

JERUSALEM,
ISRAEL—An Israeli Defense Force spokesman today named a
previously unknown religious sect called "the Amkhat" as
the target of recent incursions into Tulkarm and other West Bank
towns.
An
IDF dossier released to the press accuses this cult of a wide
variety of outrages, from terrorist activities to ritual
cannibalism. Palestinian Authority representatives called the
Israeli claims inflammatory, but insiders whisper that the
Authority has been trying to root out Amkhat for some time.
Meanwhile, Egypt announced that it was withdrawing its support
from the current round of peace talks, citing the Tulkarm
incursions and "Israeli fabrications."

GERMANY — Local police responding to a disturbance in the
city’s warehouse district this morning discovered the bodies of
23 immigrant workers slain in what one police spokesperson
described as a "violent Satanic ritual." All of the
victims were arranged according to a complex pattern laid in chalk
across the floor of an abandoned storage facility, and according
to 
forensics
reports, all of them were killed within moments of one another.
Sources within the police department revealed that a ragged hole
approximately three meters across appears to have been burnt
through the roof of the structure directly over the ritual site,
but refused to speculate on the cause. The perpetrators remain at
large.
