A heavy bronze plaque hangs above the Coke machine in the lobby of the Detroit Teamsters headquarters here on Trumbull Avenue, up the road from Tiger Stadium. It memorializes the locals that built the glazed yellow-brick building in 1941, and the Newspaper Drivers and Handlers Local 327 is one of them. "A lot of the locals on that plaque are gone," said Alfred P. Derey, secretary treasurer of Local 327. "But we're still here."

Sunday: July 14, 1996 -- Gossip;Terror Stalks the Ice Belt

Date: 14 July 1996

With the quiet self-assurance of a killer android, Cheryl Johnson waltzes uninvited into a St. Paul, Minn., benefit for Senator Paul Wellstone, a Democrat up for re-election this year. The most popular columnist for The Minneapolis Star Tribune -- and the only hard-core gossip writer to rip scalps in the polite Twin Cities -- she's quickly spotted and decried. "Why'd you come, C. J.?" moans a Wellstone fan. Johnson happily strides on. "Wellstone hasn't liked me since I reported that his daughter stiffed the guy who taped her wedding," she says. Wellstone isn't the only grumbler. The artist formerly known as Prince, a favorite if bloated target -- she calls him Symbolina -- retaliated in a song that whined, "What if I called you silly names?" Eleanor Mondale, daughter of the Ambassador to Japan, says she moved away from Minneapolis largely because Johnson's audits of her dating habits "made me feel like an insect under a microscope."

A Chill in Spain

Date: 15 July 1996

Jose Maria Aznar won election as Spain's new Prime Minister last March in part by convincing voters that he had thoroughly modernized his right-of-center Popular Party, ridding it of all nostalgia for the anti-democratic practices of the Franco dictatorship. Now he will have to convince them once again following the heavy-handed firing of Spanish Television's New York bureau chief, Jose Martinez-Soler, and four other correspondents. The Aznar Government says it dismissed Mr. Martinez-Soler to save money. But it looks like reprisal for a campaign interview last February in which Mr. Martinez-Soler embarrassed Mr. Aznar with a pointed reference to the Popular Party's right-wing old guard. If the impression of retaliation is left to stand, it will have a chilling effect on other journalists working for Spanish state television.

A Good News/Bad News AIDS Joke

Date: 14 July 1996

There has been much recent excitement about protease inhibitors, a new class of drugs that promise to prolong markedly the lives of and in some cases possibly help cure those with H.I.V. But because of the cost, a great many who would benefit from such drugs will not have access to them. For many people already infected, like myself, treatment with proteases might offer at least "two to three years of additional life -- which is a lifetime, because new drugs are appearing so fast," says Dr. Steven A. Miles, director of the AIDS research center clinic at the University of California at Los Angeles. For those just infected, Miles says, proteases "quite possibly are a cure, if you get them into you quickly enough."

INVESTING IT;Rich, if Not Famous, in 15 Minutes

TIME is money. But on Wall Street, real time can mean real big money. That's what some professional investors have learned recently. They get company documents as soon as they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, sometimes putting them ahead of the pack in market-moving information. It may be just 5 or 15 minutes' difference, but it can earn them a bundle.
