During his record tenure as leader of the DemocratiC majorities in the Sen- " ate, Mansfield looked to that now·eroding center as the strength of the place, the block on wh1ch comprom1se could be bu1lt. That is how the landmark crv1l nghts legtslation of 1964 and 1965 was shaped and passed. It was Mansfield's style, persuasiOn and medtation, not cqnfrontation or demand. In a rare return to the Senate, although to the historic old chamber down the comdor from the one m wh1ch he served for 24 years and doesn't revisIt. Mansfield spoke of that style and commended it to today 's senators. He said it takes accommodation, mulual restra10t and courage for the I00 mdtvtduals who make up the Senate to work together for the national interest. For 40 mmutes last Tuesday evening.Mansfield spoke to senators on the floor and an mvned audience m the narrow'g~lery above the old chamber he helped bring to restoratron H1s votce rang as clear and firm as when he was leader from 1960 until 1976, a post he has often sa1d he never sought but took at the urging of Prestdent Kennedy. He'd already reached the height of his politrcal ambtuon, Mansfield says, when he was elected senator from Montana in 1952. Now there is a Senate htstory describing the years of hts leadership as Mike Mansfield's Senate. Whtle he smtled and remarked that readmg history's judgment is one of the advantages 10 outhving one's generation, Mansfield , who turned 95 on March 16, said no one name belongs on any Senate era "If during my time as Senate leader, a pollster had asked each senator whose senate is this, that pollster would have recelved.99 dtfferent answers," Mansfield said. And nghtly, he sa1d: '"I believe that every member ought to be equal in fact no less than in theory." Mansfield's lecture was remarkable for its htstory - he'd planned to deliver it to the Senate on Nov. 22, 1963, but that was the day Kennedy was a..sassmated in Dallas. Instead, he later .filed 11 unspoken, and unnottced, m the Congressional Record. · "I have· waited 35 years to g1ve this speech, never expectmg to do so," · he said. · Mansfield spoke of the need for collegiality and cooperatton and satd the . ;produet of the Senate couldn't be measured by the clock or the count of b1lls 'pissed but only by the quality of what 11 does 10 the national interest :; At the ume, Kennedy's legislauve program wa.~ stalled 10 Congress, ani!

Executive privilege can't shield fantastic claims By TONY SNOW WASHINGTON - FroQl Day One, the chtef challenge facmg this White House has been to place maxImum dtstance between Btll Clinton and hts behav1or. This strategy has succeeded, but only .with the help of mighty assaults on our common sense. In order to e1tonerate the chref, aides have made fantastic claims: that they lied to the1r personal diaries; that Velcro-bramed lawyers couldn't recall crucial incidents; that files that vamshed or moved from one place to another as rf by- magic; that scores of people with nothing to gain from lying nevertheless perjured themselves; and thatthts ~ontag1on of amnes1a, sloppiness and venal1ty was JUSt the gosh damdest senes-of coinCidences ever witnessed by man or beast. Tb~ wall of separation between Clinton and his deed~ remams strong because mtmons have stuck to their alib1s. But now comes an episode 1n wh1ch the Man from Hope stands alone. It is his recent attempt to clatm executive privilege for counselors Bruce Lmosey and Sidney Blumenthal, and first lady Hillary Rodham Clmton Clinton can' t blame his lawyers for this latest femt. He alone can as.<ert the pnvtlege. The maneuver places h1m at the heart of hrs adm10· tstration 's ongmng effort to use executive priv1lege as a way of conceaLing the truth about whether the president exposed htmself. It ts almost rmposstble to thrnk of this as anylhmg but a tactic to delay independent counsel Kenneth Starr long enough for James Carville and other red·ant assailants to nibble at Starr and pump as much venom a.~ possible into the political system. Consider the key issues •Is the first lady subject to pnvilege? The White House argued durmg the health-care debacle that Mrs. Clinton was not a " special government employee," but wa.~JUSt an out· sider wrth superhuman endowments of civrc virtue. But a pres1dent can't use pnvtlege to shield someone who doesn't work for him, so the White House must have reversed itself and declared Mrs Clinton a bona fide offictal.

The courts have said a president generally can shield communications that reveal fundamental dehberative processes.

They didn't lumber through the game that would be the deciding performance in a claim to the title "best team ever." The Lady Volunteers just didn't give Louisiana Tech a chance.

The Lady Vols (39-0) finished the third perfect season in NCAA histo· ry with their 45th consecutive win, and they did it convincingly. It staned with Holdsclaw, who scored 12 of her 25 points in the opening 6:39 as Tennessee jumped to a 21-8 lead. But it didn't end there.

Gordon was unable to put his car in the lead until his crew vaulted him from third to first on a pit stop with 64 laps remaining, propelling him to victory in the Food City 500 on Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway. "They've been known to do that," a Sll1iling Gordon said of a speedy pit crew he estimates has been directly responsible for half of his 31 Winston Cup victories. Until the decisive pit stop, Terry Labonte had led 75 laps and wa< looking untouchable as he circled Bristol's .533-mile. high-banked oval.

"I don't think we would have won," he said flatly when asked to assess his chances of pa.«ing Labonte on the track. But on lap 435, Rusty Wallace ran over a chunk of debris and slammed into the first-turn retaining wall. bringing out a caution tlag and sending the leaders to the pits for fuel and four fresh tires. "I knew that last pit stop wa< a good one," Gordon said. "( could tell. It was like. 'Wow, these guys are jamming .'"

Netanyahu denied Israeli media reports that a compromise was being worked out and that he had increased hts initial withdrawal offer from 9 percent to II pen:ent. "We have not discussed specifics on percentages, and therefore reports of a supposed agreement are not true," Netanyahu said, adding that he did not expect Ross to conclude a deal on this trip.

Lobbying on Medicare-related issues tops $25 million By LARRY WHEELER Gannett News Service WASHINGTON - Organizations representing seniors. labor. hospitals. and doctors spent more than $25 million last year to lobby .Congress and federal agencies on Medicare and other legislation important to older Americans. The total shows how much the nation 's largest interest groups and industry associations will spend to intluence lawmaking and federal policy affecting their members. Among the top spenders: • American Medical Association. $8.5 mtlhon. • National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, $4 million. • American Association of Retired Persons. $3.6 million. • American Hospital Association. $3.3 million. • 60 Plus Association. $2.9 .11fil'-' lion. • Senior.; Coalitton. $2.8 million. Medicare was not the only issue receiving attention. but several - viewed the $200 billion federal he~th care program as a daily ~oncem . ' The aggregate spending numbers come from a database of lqbbying reports compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan reseatth group in tvashington. D.C.. which monitors rljOney and politics. "It is important for people to know this becau,se the concern is that interest groups that have a lot of money to spend on lobbying are going to have an advantage over interest groups that don't have the resources," said Paul Hendrie. a spokesman for the center The center's list is available on its Web site - www.crp.org. Tracking how groups lobby members of Congress has become easier since recently-enacted reforms make it possible to keep closer tabs on Washington's "influence industry." Most make no secret of the fact that they are speilding money and trying to sway policy for those they represent. , "Sure it's worthwhile.'" said Rick P.ollack, executive ·vice president of the American Hospital Association. which employs I0 to 12 registered lobbyists. "We have a very big stake' in the public policy debate. Medicare represents 40 percent of the revenues for the average hospital." . AHA lobbyists were deeply involved in the ~rafting of the Balanced Budget Act Of 1997. legislation that included the most comprehensive package of reforms in Medicare's 33year history. Pollack said the association's efforts were rewarded last year when Medicare reforms gave beneficiaries broader choice by allowmg new forms of managed health care providers to get into the federal health care program. · The nation's largest seniors' advocacy group also feels it was successful last year.

However, because federal lobby- ing regulations are open to interpretation. other expenses such as direct mail campaigns are sometimes not included. The American Medical Association's $8 5 million figure represents the organization's entire Washington otlice budget, said AMA spokesman James Stacey.

Tobacco firms' legal shield-s stump committee members By LAURIE KELLMAN Assoclated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Negotiators on the Senate's main tobacco settlement bill are hung up on key provisions. such as how to ~pend the industry· s money and whether to protect companies from lawsuits. Those sticking points kept roundthe-clock negotiations from wrapping up over the weekend. Nonetheless. Commerce Committee Chairman John McCain. R-Ariz .• declared other pans of the bill "a solid foundation for the debate that lies ahead." Democrats were more cautious. Sen. Ron Wyden. D-Ore .. reported "some progress." but said agreements must be forged on the liabili· ty protections and other matters before the bill is acceptable. According to . a draft McCain released Sunday.' the bill would charge the tobacco industry $138 bil' lion more and impose harsher restrictions than the settlement that companies and states reached in June, Negotiators also approved giving the Food and Drug Administration broad authority to regulate nicotine products. a victory for the health community and the White House. But the bill also would set stnct guidelines for tile 'agency if it ever tried to ban nicotine. McCain has scheduled formal committee consideration·for Wednesday. hoping to vote out the bill by Friday and send it to the full Senate for a vote sometime before June I. For all _the progress, negotiator.; left unfinished the c~ntral issues of debate - how much. if any. legal protection to give the industry. and how to spend the $506 billion the tobacco companies would pay over 25 years. McCain's panel has used a~ its starting point the $368 billion settlement reached last June between the companies and 40 states suing them to recover the cost of medical care for tobacco-caused itinesses.

It 's Feline lukemia, a persohal view • By Alden Waitt, Pre~ident Meigs County Humane Sociely Too many of us know the heartbreak of losing a cal to feline lcukemia. In Cincinnati,l adopted a cat who was vaccinated right off the bat for everything it is possible to vaccinate a cat against. A week later the vetcrinarian remembered that he had neglected to.test the kitty for feline icukemta at\d immedtatcly did so_ only to find that this little abandoned stray was po si tive for feline ' leukemia. . The feline leukemia virus. or FcLV, belongs to a group of viruses that cause cancer in a number of spccoes - although FeLV spectfically affects only the cat. The cat's· immune sysiCijl is involved _in the development of FeLV mfectton or FcLV-rclated dtseases once exposure has occurred. , Some cats produce antibodies against the virus and thereby, luckily, b~come resistant. Some cats are infected with FcLV but are protected from any disease development. These cats appear healthy but because they carry the virus they act as reservoirs for infection and can spread the disease to healthy, suseepttble cats. Remorseful, the veterinarian warned us that Glinka would most likely not thrive in the same way as other cats, that she would probably not live long into adulthood. By that time it was too late not to keep her. I had bonded with this gentle, mellow black kitty whom I named after Mikhail Glinka, the nineteenth-ceotury Russian c'omposer. Glinka wrote beautiful, terribly sad operas (so v~ry RusSian), and I 'love his mustc. Glinka seemed just the nght name for this sweet atid doomed cat, who had taken to sleeping under my chm. Glinka had a good. lovmg life for complain, critidze , argue and fight. The man ts gettmg on my nerves. Our sons' wives do not have these problems. They have carects of thetr own and share the cooking, cleaning and laundry with their husbands. They get along just fine . I guess that 's where I made a mistake. Now I know why God allow s • women like me to live longer than men. It's so we can have a httl e peace before we die . Please, Ann. tf you prmt my lettcr. don't indocate where it came from .

Of his trip, Holter said "It is very important fOf our farm interests to be brought to the forefront of our legislators' agendas at every opportunity.

WASHINGTON- Across America, cities and hospitals are stockpiling antibiotics, organizing medical suike teams. counting decontamination suits, and preparing for a chemical or biol\)gical attack they hope will never happen. Fueled by fresh money from Washington and a growing foundation of federal support- not to mention three deadly bombings and a couple of well-publicized anthrax scares- communities are beginning to see themselves as potential targets. Yet no matter the level of preparation, the nagging question remains: Is the medical community really ready to cope with the aftermath of a biological or chemical attack? "The potential consequences are overwhelming," _said Dr. Marcelle Layton, assistant New York City health commissioner. where a bomb ar the World Trade Cemer killed six. "It's hard to know if it is possible to effectively address them." How overwhelming? Hospitals need to prepare for huge innuxes of patients over a short time; contaminated and infected patients dropping in without being• decontaminared first; the possibility of staff becoming sick; evacuation and/or protection of patients already hospitalized. The hospi raJ nearest the site of the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway March 20, 1995, saw 500 patients in just one hour, causing what the doctoo; called "a state of chaos." Staff had to be rotated out of the ER as fumes from the patients made them ill. hi all, 5,000 were treate4 across the city; II died. The larger the emergency, the more widespread the effects. Hospitals may be swamped with patients who need to be isolated, put on respirators or treated in intensive care units- and hospitals might not have enough beds for the living or rimrtu· ary services for the dead. A city of 500,000 could see as many as 95,000 dead and 125.000 incapacitated in an anthrax attack, according to World Health Organi· zation estimates: " All of this would be in a setting of panic or terror among the people affected, even the health care providers," Layton said. Then there is the matter of treatment An anthrax attack on the city of Frederick, Md., population 50,000. could infect as many as 30,000 peo· pie, all of whom might have to be treated by antibiotics. "Eighty-four grams of antibiotic per person ... that's ... oh, my heavens, you'd need more than two tons of antibiotic, delivered overnight! There isn't that much antibiotic stored anywhere in the United States," William Patrick III, the former chief of product development for the U.S. Army's .now-closed bioweapons Jabs, told The New Yorker. Complicating matters is the fact the site of a biological or chemical attack would be a crime scene, with potential evidence everywhere.

NASA's Lunar Prospector recently discovered water on the moon's poles. This water, as much as I00 million tons, is deposited as a frost mi~ed with dust. There may be enough to make substantial stores of hydrogen fuel and provide water for a manned lunar base. With ils mild gravity and f!O obscuring atmosphere; t~e moon 'would make an ideal perch for an astronomical observatory. Scientists suspect the lunar ice was deposited by comets. Measuring the amount of water at different depths coul.d enable planetary scientists to determine the rate at which comets hit the moon over its history. That data could be plugged into · models on the formation and evolution of the solar system. • Jupiter's Atmosphere. Scientists suspect abundant water vapor in the Jovian atmosphere. But intense heat from the roiling, gaseous planet would make any life highly unlikely. • Saturn's moons. The moon Enceladus shows evidence of an icy surface and may have had flowing water at or near the surface. Saturn's moon Titan also has captured attention as a potential incubator of complex organics, despite no Oklahoma prosecutor gears up for trial -in federal building blast OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)- Two Federal trials and at least one death sentence ·in the Oklahoma City bombing are not enough for conspiracy theorists, survivors and relatives of the 168 victims- or for the prosecutorwho is gearing up for his own bombing trial.

"The Bonneville Salt ,Flat~ in Utah are a good e·xample of evaporites," said Phil ·Christensen, an Arizona State University geologist who helped design some · of the instru· mentation aboard the Mars Global Surveyor, which is now orbiting the Red Planet looking for evaporites. It searches for these minerals by looking for their infrared, or heat. signatures. Each mineral absorbs and reflects infrared light differently depending on its t:o~J1position. An instrument called a infrared spec· · trometer can convert the infrared energy from these rocks and minerals into electrical signals. Computers can then mea.~ure the variations in the electrical signals against a prere- ' corded library of mineral signals and determine what the Global Surveyor · ha~ beon observing.

Years ago, two Voyager missions sped past Titan for a quick look and found the relj icy satellite is rich in organic chemicals: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Some of those materials are frozen, forming -huge continents of chemical ice, while others lie in liquid form. The Cassini spac.e probe, now en route to Titan, will analyze these molecules in detail for clues ~ut how simple hydrocarbons can combine to form more comp lex organic structures.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The School Building Authority on Monday approved a new site for a proposed consolidated Mason County High.School. The school, to be located 2.5 miles from Point 'Pleasant High School, woilld consolidate Hannan, Point Pleasan~ and. Wahama high schools and would have about I,400 students. The authority in 1995 approved spending $14.5 million ol'l the scltool but a lawsuit halted construction. The lawsuit la1er was dropped and last week a petjt\on was filed seeking an injunction to stop the school's construction. The pe~J,tion in part cited the county schoot board's failure to conduct a new transjlortation study on the ~hool's location. Diane Hickel of Hartford said she is opposed to having one high school in Mason County because the county is too large. ·· ''lhc·site·is ·immatcriat,~ .. he said. '!.nansporting students from the far e~ds of the counJy would mean long bus rides on dangerous roads, she said. · Also, high school test scores are above the national avc;rage and she doesn't believe the students will get the same quality educati-on in a consolidated school, she said. Board members plan to vote on the closings April 7. Mason Superintendent Larry Parsons said if construction doesn't begi'n by ne~t March, the county will lose the $14.5 million appropriation-and will · have to reapply and compete with other counties.

Charles R. Brading, R-Wapakoneta, to "get the ball rolling" on the recommendations a committee chaired by Brading issued la~t fall, State Rep. John A. Carey said. · · Carey, R·Wellston, sponsored legislation that creat~d the committee in response to area veterans' concerns that a second facility was needed. The current veterans home is in Sandusky, and the distance has discouraged local veteran~ from using ttre facility. · "It's not something that's going to happen overuight, but positive thi~gs are happening with the proposal," Carey said. . · Carey monitoned the co'!'miuee's work last year as it conducted hearings and toured several possible locations for a veterans home in Gallia, Meigs and Lawrence counties, which constitute most of Carey 's 94th District. . The commiuee, working under the guidelines put down in Carey's legislation, recommended that a primary site in southern Ohio be chosen, with tbe possibility of establishing satellite operations in other counties. Th~ commiuee weighe<.i input from veterans organizations and other supporters of the concept. · · The report a•sessed five locations, but asked-the state to "strongly consider" placing the primary site in a closed hospital building at the Veterans · Affairs Medical Center in Chillicothe. The report has since ·been submitted to Gov. George Voinovich. but will require legislative action that Carey hopes Brading··, bill will launch when introduced. . .· · Carey said the proposal had also drawn interest from U.S. Rep. David L. Hobson, R-Springfield, whose Seventh Congressional District inclu~s portions of southern Ohio. · · Action .on Brading's legislation is sought before the legislative session concludes in June, Carey said. "There won't be anything a.• far as an announcement is c:oncerned, but we 're continuing the process and we might have a better idea of a timeline before the session ends," he said.· Tobacco industry· rips 'punitive' ~egulation . compromise proposal . . :· WASHINGTON lAP) - Con- round·the-do~:k negotratrons fl'llm shields with Sens.
