context_section_description: For the first time since the People's Republic had started the practice of allowing zoos in other nations to receive the endangered species of bear, a giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) was born outside of China.  "Xeng-Li" was born in captivity at the Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico City, but lived only eight days after being accidentally smothered by its captive mother, "Yin-Yin".
  David Francis Hoffman murdered his wife, Carol Stebbins, at their home in Saint Paul, Minnesota, dismembered her body and then disposed of it with the help of his mother, Helen Ulvinen.
  Died: Gareth Evans, 34, British philosopher, from lung cancer
