THE WEEK NATION, Page 15Et Cetera
HAWAIIAN PUNCH
Only three weeks after Andrew struck Florida, another
hurricane steamrollered on Friday across the Hawaiian island of
Kauai. With gusts of up to 160 m.p.h., Iniki was the most
powerful storm to hit Hawaii this century, but its course took
it over the lightly populated western side of the island. There
were no first reports of serious casualties, and this time the
Federal Emergency Management Agency could not be accused of a
slow reaction. It dispatched teams to the area even before Iniki
struck.
PLAYING POST OFFICE
The House post office was every Congressman's convenience
store. Now the woman behind the counter, chief of staff Joanna
O'Rourke, 52, has been indicted by a federal grand jury and
charged with conspiring to use the mail service for "personal
and campaign services." The indictment said O'Rourke, who plans
to plead guilty to misdemeanor charges, had ordered employees
to pick up and deliver campaign contributions and backdate
postmarks on federal income-tax returns.
