- <p>HAWAIIAN PUNCH
- </p>
- <p> 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.

- <p>PLAYING POST OFFICE
- </p>
- <p> 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.
