NEXT . . . MANHATTAN'S LOCH NESS

Maybe there are alligators in New York City sewers after all. A three-foot-long gator crawled out of a small lake in the city yesterday and, thinking perhaps of lunch, made a beeline for some healthy-looking parks department employees. A worker who knew his way around gators quickly subdued it (ah, New York), assisted by a park ranger with a very big rubber band, which she promptly clamped over the gator's snout. City officials said it must have been a pet, since it was rather pale.Mladic photograph by Sava RadovanovicClinton photograph by Diana Walker for TIMEWu photograph by BBCGingrich photograph by Cynthia Johnson for TIMEMice photograph by John Sholtis
