more funding for state-supported colleges and universities:
State Senate: Sen. Richard J. Holland, D, 15th district.

a headline Wednesday. The article was about $100,000 in political
contributions given by the meatpacking company to Gov. George F.
Allen's political action committee.
The sentencing of Kelly Dara is scheduled for Nov. 29. A Metro

Johnson, were convicted in June of first-degree murder in the
stabbing death of Joseph D. Garcia III.
Carolyn Cussins, mother of one of four victims in the Witchduck
Inn slayings, favors the death penalty. A MetroNews story Tuesday
said she opposes it.
Cussins said she only opposes the death penalty in the case of
Michael Clagett, who shot her son, ``because I think that would have
been more punishment for him to have to live with what he did.''
The Navy's newest submarine, the SSN-23, will be built at
Electric Boat, in Groton, Conn., and not at Newport News
Shipbuilding. There was an error in Wednesday's BusinessNews story

Norfolk. A caption on Wednesday's MetroNews front had the company's
name wrong.
