A controversial 1 government witness in the trial ] of two co-defendants of Manuel i Noriega has died in an automobile accident, officials said 1 Thursday. , Testimony by the witness, Ra- j mon Navarro, allegedly tied the ( ousted Panamanian dictator and the co-defendants directly to the drug-smuggling voyage of the J luxury yacht Krill, the central | issue in the case. Richard Sharpstein, codefendant Brian Davidow's attorney, said Navarro's "testimony is central to this case, but I think his death is a total, bizarre coincidence." iiuUSUHHi Cracked door hinges delays shuttle launch CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. ?

The hinges are located on two flapper doors on the belly of the orbiter that must close tiehtlv c ?J once the external tank drops off shortly after liftoff. Failure to do so could cause the shuttle to be destroyed during atmospheric reentry. f The next shuttle flight is now scheduled to be Atlantis' early April trip to carry the Gamma Ray Observatory into orbit. Condoms to be made available to students NEW YORK ? High school students in the nation's largest public school system can get condoms on demand, without their parents' permission, starting next fall. The plan, linked to a beefedup AIDS-awareness program that stresses abstinence, was approved 4-to-3 by the Board of Education Wednesday night after five months of debate. "Even if it (sex) is a mistake, they should not have to die from a mistake," said Jan Atwell, president of the United Parents Association of New York City. Education foundation records destroyed also Records of USC's Educational Foundation were destroyed at the same time as those of the Carolina Research and Development Foundation, officials said. That disclosure came Wednesday after the president of the CniinHltirvn ooi/4 Via ^uutauuiiai i uunuaiiuii oaiu iiv^ would open the records in response to a state Freedom of Information Act request from The (Greenville) News. Chris Vlahoplus serves as executive director of both foundations. John O'Donnell is the financial officer of both groups. Vlahoplus and O'Donnell did not mention the destruction of the Education Foundation records earlier this month. Vlahoplus said Wednesday 'There was no litigation at all (concerning the Educational Foundation). We're not under obligation to preserve these records at all. We have more than we need." Both foundations paid annual salary supplements to former USC President James B. Holderman. The R&D Foundation paid him $50,000 and the Educational Foundation paid him $25,000.
