The WIRE wants to hear from you! Let us know what you think are the top 10 news stories for 1997. We'll compare the results of The WIRE survey with AP's annual poll of editors and post them both on the site.

Pick only 10 stories and don't assign the same rank to more than one story. -The WIRE Editors # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Hong Kong Handover # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Tobacco Settlement # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Versace Death/Cunanan Suicide # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Heaven's Gate Suicides # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 The Trial of Timothy McVeigh # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 British Au Pair on Trial # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Mideast Peace Process # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 O.J.
