Many : -: analysts had been looking for output to be ·" ·• unchanged in February just as it had been in January. Taken together, the two reports showed that the U.S. economy, . which this month celebrates its eighth year of e~pansion, longest in peacetime b.istory, is not showing its age. Many economists have been busy revising their forecasts up for the year based on strong growth and low unemployment in the first two months of 1999. The economy's strength has sparked a renewed buying frenzy on Wall Street where the Dow Jones induslrial average is expected to soon · crash through the 10,000 barrier. Housing construction dipped a slight 0.6 percent in February as the rise in single-family housing starts was offset by a 6.3 percent drop in construe· ' lion of apartments. The 1.80 million annual rate for home and apartment construction was down only slightly from January's 12-year high of 1.81 million units. The 0.2 percent rise in industrial production was the biggest advance since a similar 0.2 percent rise in December with strength at factories and mines · offsetting lower product.ion at the nation's utilities. Factory output rose by 0.2 percent, the fifth straight monthly increase for a sector that has been hard-hit by the 'Asian economic crisis, which ·has cut into overseas export sales and led to increased competition from foreign imports. For February, output of consumer durable goods was up 0.9 percent, led by large increases in the production of appliances and home electronics. Auto production dipped a slight 0.1 percent after a strong January increase. Output in the mining industry was up o:4 perce.nt as gains in coal mining offset weakness in oil and gas drilling. . Output at the nation's utilities was down 0.6 percent, reflecting a warmer-than-usual February. The nation's factories operated at 80.3 percent of capacity in February, down slightly from 80.3 percent in January. The operating rate is the lowest it has been since August 1992. -The absence of production bottlenecks is one reason inflation has remained well behaved. In the housing report, applications for building permits, a good indication of future trends, rose 2.7 · percent for single-family homes to an annual rate of 1.31 million units, the highest level since the government began tracking housing starts in 1960. . The boom times in housing have been credited to the good economy with strong job growth and low inflation. The absence or inflationary pressures has allowed the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low, which has translated into low mortgage rates for home buyers. , Last year, builders started 1.62 million units, an 11-year high. Economists are looking for a modest decline in that pace this year as the economy slows under the weight of the Asian currency crisis. But so far, . there have been few signs of a slowdown. The small 0.6 percent drop in overall housing starts in February was the first setback since a 2.6 percent decline -in November. The biggest gain was posted in the Northeast, where housing construction shot up 35.7 percent to an annual rate of 209,000 units. Starts were also up in the Midwest, rising 8 per.cent to an annual rate of 340,000 units. Housing construction suffered a setback in the West, dropping 15.9 percent to an annual rate of 369,000 units and was down 2.5 percent in . the South to an annual rate of 872,000 units. · .Applications for building permits dipped 1.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.75 million units. The 2. 7 percent increase in applications for single-family homes was offset by a 13.3 percent dip in applications for apartment units. • Meigs County's By 8RIA!t J.

But that might be about to change. With most everyone in the Senate trying for bipartisanship in the wake of a nasty impeachment trial, a consensus is slowly emerging about the need to rein in airlines.

Actor Larry Hagman made a guest appearance at a Tuesday news conference to draw 'attention to bill!t that would lift the threeyear limit on how long Medicare pays for anti-rejection drugs. Hagman rattled a blue plastic pill-toter and told reporters the medicines inside were keeping ' him alive by preventing rejection of his transplanted liver. "I'm happy to be here," he said. "I'm happy to be anywhere. I'm not kidding." DeWine, R-Ohio, the bill's Senate sponsor, said anti-rejection drugs can be prohibitively costly for people who must pay for them out-of-pocket, but can save money for Medicare.

JOSEF HEBERT Aa8oOiatad '"'- Wrltw WASHINGTON (AP) - Otina's alleged theft of nuclear weapons technology from a federal laboratory has fueled a growifil national security controversy. But much surrounding-the cue remains a mystery. • Here, in question and answer form. is a look at what lli known. Q: What was stolen and when? ~U.S. intelligence expeds believe China in the midl980s obtained critical data about development of "miniaturized" nuclear warheads from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. It's not known exactly what information was obtained. Q: How did they find out and when? A: The United States learned in 199S that China had m&A:Ie an unusually rapid leap in warhead development. A 1988 Chinese document, obtained by U.S. intelligence, and ciQS!: analysis of Chinese weapons tests prompted U.S. officials to suspect China had developed a warhead similu to the W-88 miniaturized warhead developed at · Los Alamos. Q: What is the national security significance? A: The development has helped China equip a missile with multiple warheads capable of striking more than one target. A special CIA task force has been asked to give a detailed analysis of the security implications by April. 0: What waa tbe U.S. response? A: The FBI began an investigation in early 1996, . focusing immediately on tbe federal weapons labs, eipecially Los Alamos, where the W-88 was desiifled. It narrowed the list to five prime suspects and cvc1itually to a Taiwan-born computer scientist II Los Alamos. Q; Who is Well Ho Lee? A: Born in Taiwan in 1939, Lee is a n&~nralized U.S. citizen who baa worked at Los Alamos since the 1970s. The computer scientist became an early target of the FBI investigation in 1996, but· apparcnlly was directly confronted only recently. Q: Why waa Lee singled out? . A: That is still not totally clear, cxoeptthat he was cthnic Otincse, that his work in the 1980s repurtedly involved warhead computer codes and trigger mechanisms, and that he had made at least one .trip to China in the 1980s, along with his wife, to attend a conference. Lee and his wife live in a suburb of ctls Alamos where neighbors describe him as friendly and unassuming. Associates say he had no direct involvement in warhead design or access to blueprints. Q: Why was Lee fired and has¥ been charged wit~ a crime? · A: Lee was fired March 8 after he had been interviewed for several days by the FBI. Lee has not been charged with any crime. He waa fired for failing to inform his superiors of contact with "a sensitive coontry," failing to "properly safeguard classified material" and "apparently ancmpting to deceive ... officials about security-related issues. He was said to have failed a P,Jiygraph in February, but no details on why he failed are available. . . Q: 'W\IY did this investigatioll take three yc8rs and why did it surface now? A: Law enforcement sources say investigations involving .espionage often takes years. This case was • Wednesday, March 17, 1991 _:,~,.;By The~)Bend at Loa Alamos nuclear I~ made more difficult beQtuee the alleJCCI offciiiC lOok place ao long ago, and inYCIIipton wen: tryina to re-c:n:ate what may have happened in the mid-191101. The FBI sought bo! could not get approval fnr llppiaa Lee's telepbone, and only in recent weeks did the FBI confront Lee directly. The dismissal oa:urred two days after The New York J'imes - thougll .not naming Lee - detailed the espionage cue. Energy Secretary Bill Richatdaon Called the timing of the news report and the diamiaaal a "coincidencc." Q: Was the investigation given adequate priority? A: The Whiie House insists the invesliplion wu aggresaivcly pursued beginning in 1996. When more dc.)ailed information about security problems at the labs were repurted in mid-1997, new security measures were imposed within six months. Critics chi!Jie that security problems continued well into 1998 and may penis! even today. And they question why Lee was allowed to remain in a sensitive job with top security. Q: How has security been approved at the national labs? . A: Workers in sensitive jobs now are subject to poly~ graph; increased screening is required of visitors, with background checks made on foreign visitors from "scnsitive countri~such as Russia and China; countcrintclligence officen are asaigned to each lab; and a new dircctor for counterintclligcnoe waa hired at the Energy Department headquarters, reporting direCtly to Rlchudson. · Q: How secure are the labs? · A: Richardson insists the SCQirity changes that were made "arc addrcasing the problem" but that he has "no llhlliOIII" that Clli1l8 will continue to lry to obtain u...

Q: The political fallout? · . ~ · .A: Although the .suspected Los Alamos · espiona dates back to,the Reagan adl)linislraliqn, Republican · ics have used it to challenge President Clinton's bro policy of engagement with China. GOP · presidentiJI hopefuls have accused the Clinton White House of rtf$ pursuing the Investigation promptly. . .., 0: What's next? . · , A: Intelligence committees of both the Senate ·aiii'J House have promised to pursue the issue of weapons 14\ security. Clinton is exp.cted to raise the espionage iss. when Chinese leaders viSit next month. And someti~ soon, a special House committee on technology IOSSC8 il China hopes to make public most of its 700-pagc finJ ings, including details about the Los Alamo$ investi~ lion. In Los Alamc;ia, there is no indication that Lee waJ be prosecuted anytime soon, though the investigatict conlinuca.

That makes fuel cells a favorite arno11g automakcrs trying to comply with California's standard of zero emissions by 2003 for 10 percent of the C8l1l sold in the state. "Fuel cells have the potential to be the most attractive alternative prop~jl· · sion system for the long term," said Schrempp. But the demi.se of gas-powered C8lS is not imminent. NECAJl 4 is powered by liquid hydrogen, an impractical fuel for mass marketing since it must be kept at extremely cold temperatures.

The active ingredients in marijuana can help fight pain and nausea and thus deserve to be tested in scientific trials, an · advisory panel to the federal government said today in a report sure to reignite tjle debl)te over whether marijuana is a helpful or harmful drug. The Institute of Medicine also said there was no conclusive evidence that marijuana use leads to harder drugs. In the past few years, voters in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon and Washington have approved measures in support of medic81 marijuana, even though critics say such measures send the wrong message to kids. Congress has taken a hard line on the issue, with the House last fall . adopting by 310-93 vote a resolution that Said marijuana was a dangerous · and addictive drug and should not be legalized for medical use. . Asked to examine the issue by the White Hou.se drug policy office, the · institute said that because the chemicals in marijuana case anxiety, stimulate the appetite, ease pain and reduce nausea and vomiting, they can .be helpful for people undergoing chemotherapy and people with AIDS. The institute, an affiliate of the National Academy of Sciences, provides the . federal gove~ment with independent scientific advice and receives no fed. eral money. . · The panel warned that smoking marijuana can cause respiratory disease . and called for the development of standardized forms of the drugs, called cannabinoids, that can be taken, for example, by inhaler. "Marijuana has potential as medicine, but it is undermined by the fact that patients must inhale harmful smolce," said Stanley Watson of the Mental Health Research Institute at the University of Michigan, one of the . study's principal investigators. . Even so; the panel said, there may be cases where patients could in the meantime get relief from smoked, marijuana, especially since it might take years to develop an inhaler. The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy said it would carefully study the recommendations. "We note in the report's conclusion that the future of cannabinoid drugs lies not in smoked marijuana, but in chemically defined drugs" delivered by other means, the office headed by retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey said in a statement. One patient called the findings long overdue. "It's taken a long time, but I feel like now, people will stand up and lislen," said Irvin Rosenfeld, a Boca Raton, Fla., stockbroker who has smoked marijuana supplied by the federal government for 27 years because of a rare medic81 colidition. . "When you have a devastating disease, all you care about is getting the right medicine ... and not having to worry about being made a criminal," said Rosenfeld. He suffers, from tumors that press into the muscles at the end of long bones. The marijuana relaxes those muscles, keeping them from being tom by the tumors and allowing him to move with less pain. Rosenfeld is one of just eight people in the country receiving marijuana from the government because of unusual diseases. The panel urged clinical trials to determine the usefulness of marijuana in treating muscle spasms. · ' While ii also has been promoted as a treatment for glaucoma, the panel . said smoked marijuana only temporarily reduces some of the eye pressure aSsociated with that disease. . Daniel Zingale of AIDS Action said he is "pleased that the study validates the benefits of medicinal marijuana." . Chuck Thomas of the Marijuana Policy Project said the report "shoots down" claims that marijuana has no medical benefits. Opponents of allowing medical use of marijuana long have claimed that it is_a "gateway" drug, giving people a start on the ro.ad to more dangerous drugs such as heroin and cocaine. The report concludes there is "no conclusive evidence that the drug effects of marijuana arc causally linked to subsequent abuse of other illicit drugs." The report concludes, most drug users did not begin with marijuana-but rather started by using tobacco and alcohol while they were underage. The New England Journal of Medicine has editorialized in favor of medical marijuana and the American Medical Association has urged the federal National Institutes of Health to support more research on the subject. . An expert panel formed by Nlli found in 1997 that existing research showed some patients could be helped by the drug, pr:incipally to relieve nausea after cancer chemotherapy or to increase AIDS patients' appetites. · The drug also has helped some patients control glaucoma, that panel found. · The ·Daily Sentinel ..• ...

If a key opponent has the mtssmg htgh honor, you gam an extra tnck But someumes you wtll be faced woth a two-way finesse, one you can take through etther opponent Then, you must etther use the avatlable mformatton -- perhaps an opponent entered the auctoon ·- or guess well . Take today 's deal as an example You cruose mto four spades West begms the defense by cashmg the club ace-king , then, m answer to a come-on stgnal, he plays a thJrd round to East's queen Back comes a heart You need the rest of the tncks . So, along wllh requmng the diamond finesse to succeed, you rnust dectde whtch op~onent holds the trump queen Whom woll you pock' Why? North 's ratse 10 two spades doesn 'I guarantee four trumps. ·Wtth a mtmmum opemng and 3-4-5 - 1 distnbutoon, you should ra1 se partner, not rebtd two dtamonds (Never rebtd m a ftve-card sutl unless y ou have absolutely nothmg else to do.) Even with 3-1-5-4, it is beuer to ratse partner than to rebtd two clubs. So, South's JUmp 10 three no- trump descnbes a balanced hand wtth game values and only four spades. North, wnh four-card support, retreats to the maJor-sutt game The key clue IS West's mtlt'IJ pass He has produced the club ace- king, and you must assume he has the dtam ond kong So, of he has the spade queen as well , he started with 12 htgh-card pomts These days, most players open wnh that count True, tt's not a certamty, bultt's better than nothmg.
