Dioxin, a byproduct of the bleach· ing process, is known 10 cause cancer, and recent studies also have . implicated the toxin in human reproductive and immune system problems. Regulating dioxin is a problem because it is believed to cause such problems even when it occurs in amounts too tiny to measure.

Affirmative action is still the is·sue By WALTER R. MEARS AP Special Correspon~ent WASHINGTON- Acting is the word. Bill Lann Lee is acting. assistant attorney general for civil rights. Republicam are acting.outraged. And President Clinton is acting as though it won't make any difference in the stand- . ing, authority or tenure of his new man at the Justice Department. Heading Republicans off at the impasse, Clinton installed his challenged choice for civil rights enforcer, acting without the Senate confinnation he probably can't get. The real issue isn't one man; it is affinnative action and the boundary between that policy and racial quotas in hiring, which are banned by federal law. There's no easy answer, witness the inability of congressional Republicans to find a consensus on the issue - in the Senate committee, they blocked Lee, not long after the House Judiciary Committee had opted to shelve a bill to end preferences based on race or sex in government hiring and contracting. The issue will be baek next year, in legislation and in the next round on the Lee nomination, on which Clinton said he will press hard for the Senate vote GOP foes insist he won't get. The political dilemma involved is reflected in a New·York Times-CBS · News poll, which showed that most Americans oppose ending affinnative action programs immediately, but also oppose the use of race in deciding on hiring or college admissions. Affinnative action is politically palatable. Racial preferences or quotas are not. Lee's GOP opponents insist that he went too far as an NAACP lawyer in pressing companies to settle for racial hiring goals rather than risk cosdy litigation, and in joining a court.challenge to California's 1996 referendum abolishing preferential hiring in state jobs and contracts. Clinton said Lee will act to enforce the law, not go beyond it, in keeping with his adminis[fation's policy on affmnative action. "Some people want to wait for me to appoint someone to this position whom I disagree with," he said. "It would be a long wait indeed." The president said wbat he wants is a yes-or-no vote in the Senate, and that he wouldn't have named Lee had his confirmation been blocked that way, even though he would have bitterly disagreed .yith the outcome. But it never got to that, and Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, says flatly that it won't.

FDR fought the Depression and World War II. Reagan ended the Cold War. Clinton ... what? Right now. President Clinton figures to go down in' history for producing a balanced budget on paper. He still.has time to do better than that, but if so, we'd better hear about it in next year's State of the Union message. . Aides say that Clinton intends to make his legacy that he "got America ready for the 21st century," but that sounds more like a wa~ to package small programs than advancing a big purpose. At the moment, Clinton is fighting' charges -- exhaustiveLy. recounted by the New York Times this week -- that he's been in torpor since his re-election and that, as Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., put it, he's just "nibbling around the edges" of major national problems. Clinton and White House aides, of course, vehemently deny both raps -- and with some justice. The 1997 budget agreement, besides producing balance (on paper) in 2001, contained new initiatives in higher education that will help Clinton go down in history as "the education President. " Republicans like House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, accuse Clinton of trying to achieve incrementally the national health insurance plan he was stopped from ill 1994. If so, he's , neither asleep nor preoccupied with "small bore" ideas. Aides say there will be more initiatives coming in both health and Kondracke education in the State of the Union and the fiscal 1999 budget. On health, Clinton will push his HMO consumers' bill of rights, try to expand insurance coverage to early retirees, keep fighting the tobacco . industry, and launch the national Medicare commission toward long-tenn refonns. However, Clinton's Office of Management and Budget just proposed that the National Institutes of Health receive no budget increase at all in fiscal 1999 -- a net cut after inflation. That's not the stuff of legacy. In education, aides are talking about an initiative to help local districts keep schools open later in the day and all year round in order ,to offer enrichment to students arid mental comfort to working parents. Meritorious as all sue~\ ideas may be -- and even though Clinton is forced to deal incremental!)( when faced with a Republican Congress -they don't inspire a sense of awe. So. what can Clinton do? Former White House aide Bill Galston, now at the University of Maryland, sugge•ts three. oreas in which Clinton should grapple with history ,- and perhaps make it. First, Clinton could go down as the president who saved Social . Security, but he has to make the country face up to the fact that the system simply can't continue paying out benefits as it has been. Galston thinks that the system can survive only if the retirement age gets extended and if Americans . are cncc:>uraged to save and invest more of their own money for retirement.. When Social Security was established in 1935, he points out, Ameri~ans lived on average only .five years pa•t retirement. Now, they live 15. Moreover, 50 years ago, nearly half of all males 'over 65 were still working; now, all·but 18 percent are retired. · By proposing to provide MediCare to early retirees, Galston says, Clinton is moving in the wrong di(ection on the first score, wellmeaning as the move is. Next, according to Galston, Clinton .heeds to grapple with rising "globophobia" ·- the tendency to withdraw from the world economy brought on by the pain and anxiety associated with free trade. "Giobophobia" led to the defeat of fast-track. It also fuels Congress's reI uctance to support the lntcma- -· • By Joaeph Spear Thanks to a painful downsizing, you haven't heard much lately from the Spearfoun4ation. This does not mean we haven't been hard at work. Unlike the afnuent think tanks with which we compete, we cannot produce studies and reports at the pace we once did, but we have been striv_i n¥ Jo keep up the quality. For example, . our- Idea Assessment Team, which is sort of a clearinghouse for concepts, has surveyed the idea literature and is ready with an upd~te. Herewith, a half dozen of the finest notions· to come down the pike in the past 18 months: · (I) Cut candidates_ out of the political market. This superb idea, thought up by visionary columnist Dave Barry, is premised on the fact that our elected officials are routinely purchased by wealthy campaign donors, and we the people get nary a . cent of it. Barry suggests that we remove the names of politicians from the ballot and list instead the donors who are buying the govern. ment. When we pull a lever beside one of their names, cash would come out of a slot in the voting machine. This is a radical notion, and it may take .a while to catch on. As a'n interim step, I wo~ld suggest that political donations he taxed at the rate of, oh, I0 percent, and that the proceeds be distributed to those of us who cannot Spear afford a member of Congress. Call it a Deserved Earnings Credit or some such thing. (2) Mine the sky. University of Arizona professor JohnS. Lewis is a pioneer on this 0ne. Asteroids and other heavenly bodies are in fact a vast reserve of minerals. Mining the iron alone, says Prof. Lewis, would provide $8 billion for every person in the world. Mining the gold, platinum, silver and other minerals would provide more than $100 billion for each person on Eanh. We could even pay off the national debt. (3) Eat insects. Think of the crops that could be saved and the poor who could be fed if bugs could be eaten instead of sprayed and stomped. Actually, they can be. Here are the highlights of a recipe for "Spicy Crickets," published by the Department of Agriculture: Fre~ze cricl\ets for eight hours. Bake at 325 degrees for one hour, or until crisp. Remove legs and marinate in a blend of olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, chives and hot sauce. Bake again. Can be eaten warm or cold, as a topping, as a meat or as a tasty snack. . (4) Develop lands and worlds in Nevada. Investors arc said to be searching for propeny in Nevada on which they can .build a "Holy Land" theme park. This is a divine idea and, one hopes, the start of a major new industry in the Sagebrush State. Regular readers will recall my proposal that Nevada, most of which is owned by Uncle Sam, he walled off and turned over to nativists, moralists, anarchists and people who like to tool around in camouflage clothing. I suggested the state then be renamed the Nation of Fruitcake, but there is no reason this couldn't he done on a smaller seale.

According to the report, Jason Ervin was hunting and calling coyote and heard noises coming from the direction of the shed. Upon investigating, he observed a subject moving a large sheel of aluminum roofinc. He later returned with Jack Ervin and encountered Sharp at the scene who later furnished deputies with the names of the other subjects. · · · Haggy also faces a charge of possessing a weapon while on probation from a Gallia County burglary charge, Soulsby said.

It was the Thundering Herd's first victory over an Atlantic Coast Conference team since 1983. "This was a big-time win for us," said Burgess, who scored 15 points.

In other games involving ranked teams, No. 17 Florida State downed North Carolina-Asheville 77-60 and No. 18 Mississippi crushed Belmont 100-59. ':Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I discouraged? No," said Fogler, who has lost all six meetings with Clemson's Rick Barnes dating to 1987. Last year, a loss to Clemson began a South Carolina plunge that saw the Gamecocks also tumble to North Carolina Asheville and Charleston Southern. It's a pauern they don't want to repeat this season. "I learned from last year that if I continue to mope aboutthNi loss. it's going to affect me .in the next game and the game after,;, said South Carolina senior point guard Melvin Watson, who is ()..4 in the rivalry with Clemson. "We have to put this one behind us and move on." Clemson (6-3), playing without star point guard Terrell Mcintyre, got a career-high 17 points from Vincent Whill and 13 from reserve Harold Jamison.

Hackett, 50. is eurrendy the offensive coordinator for lhl: Kansu City Chiefs and won't be able to work full time at USC until the Chiefs finish postseason play, which could extend through the Jan. 25 Super Bowl. Thai would mean most of the recruiting will be handled by Robinson 's staff, although those assistants don't know whether they'll be retained by Hackett. Asked about Hackett 's losing record in his only other head <loaching job, at Pittsburgh from 1990-92, Garrett said, " I know one day I tied an NFL record with four consecutive fumbles. Ir someone saw me play that day, they would have cut me .... So I look at the tQial spectrum and at Paul as a total picture. I like him." Asked if he felt Robinson was treated fairly since the season ended, Garrett replied: "We talked (with Robinson) about our two options. The process occurred and we thousht we did it very reasonably, ·and we came to a great result." Robinson said'he spoke with Garrett for about 15 minutes following the UCLA game on Nov. 22, then briefly again last week, when Garrett said a decision would be made this week. Sample, meanwhile, seemed to almos1 be distancing himself from the decision. " I don' t want to give the impreSsion that I decided this alone. Mike and I work together. Mike has the primary responsibility for the athletic program," Sample said. " If we' re going to make a major appointment, 1have to approve it. I guess what I'm sayinJ is that Mike went through the evaluation, came to his conclusion and I concuned." A llalf-dozen USC players showed up at Robinson's press conference, unhappy with his being fired, and with the way it uanspired. "I personally think it's bull," sophomore guard Travis Claridge said, his left shoulder and rightankle both heavily bandaged because of surgery a day earlier. "I should be hOIT)e in bed right now, but this is more important, to be here for coach Robinson." Sophomore linebacker Chris Clai· borne said, "N'o change should have been made. SC 's supposed to be known for loyalty. Let's see some loyalty. A coach of his caliber is hard to find. I think he's beCn disrespected." Robinson, who hugged the play· . ers as he left. did not take questions from reporters. His job wu in jeopardy after the 1996 seuon, but Robinson received a vole of confidence from G111Ten and Sample. However, Robinson said when the team was 2:3 th is year that he'd leave voluntari ly if the Trojans didn't get better. "At midseason, I made a s'tatement that iflhe football team did not improve I'd be the one to step aside. We did improve." said Robinson, who had told the players after the season that he expected to be back. He said he and Garrett met after the season and that there were two alternatives: " I would be replaced, or we would work out differences that stretched back four years. Those dif· ferences were not worked out" Garrett and Sample said Robinson would be offered another job at USC. While Robinson did not address that possibility, he seemed in no mood to continue-working for the same bosses. "I'm going to go on and enjoy Christmu with my wife and look for· ward to all those things that are out there," Robinson said.

But that leaves the playoff-bound 49ers ( 13-2) without Rice, whose touchdown Manday night made him the first non-kicker to score 1.000 poinu. · ·" To not have the ·greatest receiver ever to play the gwne in the lineup, that definitely hurts," light end Brent Jon~s said. · "IJ was such an emotional high to have him back. and then to hear about that was Iough. But guys are going to keep it on. I know Jerry wants us to ·win the Super Bowl. He wouldn't have come back if he didn't want us to win it." Steve Young said he wished Rice's comeback could have lasted a lot longer, bulthe team also has expe· rience playing without him. " It was a great few plays and I wu very excited to throw him the ball," Young said. "It seemed like riding a bike. It was very easy and I . loved it while it was there. But it really was for such a short period, and we've been doing this (without Rice) for a long time." San Francisco writps up the season Sunday night at Seattle in a meaningless game for both teams. The 49ers then have a first-round bye before playing their next meaningful game, a divisional playoff the weekend of Jan. 3-4 at 3Com Park. Mariucci said the 49ers won 12 games without Rice while he recovered from his first injury, so the team is better equipped to handle his loss this lime. "Hod Jerry been playing with us all along and - boom - now he's out, I think there would be a greater possibility of this team saying. 'Oh, geez, what do we do without our star?'" Marlucci said. ~~would we· want him? Absolutely. Does he help'! ~bsolutely. Does he give us a spw:k. j uHc's a tremendous lift for cv~ ­ body. but the reality is he's not -lith us anymore."

The commercial jet maker's drive toward a record production of planes has led air safety regulators and some Boeing employees to fear that mistakes could occur during inspections, the newspaper said. The paper obtained the informa- . tion under a Freedom of Information Act request. In a May 2llctter to two top Boeing managers, Vi Lipsky - the FAA's Seattle manufacturing inspection manager - charged that the company's production increases and design alterations "have created an environment that is out of control. · and that the FAA cannot continue to suppon." . . The letter added that it is "impcrative"that Boeing correct "nawed" in&pection processes. Ms. Lipsky wrote that the company's rapid changes in airplane design left the FAA with insufficient time to determine whether some modifica· tions complied with regulations. The modifications included passenger oxygen mask systems. seat installations and evacuation instruc· tions, the Journal said. · Lipsky also wrote that Boeing's system of preparing planes for FAA inspection "has become ineffective in identifying significant discrepan· cies." a.1.

The U.S.-patrolled sector is one of the few areas where Muslim refugees, including the Halilovic family, have returned to live alongside Serbs made refugees by the 3 112-year war. American troops keep watch on who is where, remove unexploded weapons and try to prevent violence . For the soldiers, it is a mission that gives meaning to the tedium of camp life and long hours slogging through Bosnia's ice and mud.

The June 1998 deadline likely will be e Ktended; if the capture of two Bosnian Croat war crime suspects early today in central Bosnia in a NATO operation led by Dutch troops with American backup is any indication, tensions remain high. Clinton, who plans a holiday visit to the troops in Bosnia, may have trouble convincing Congress on specifics of an extension because of differences among lawmakers. For soldiers, however, it's not a tough selL " Most of the folks here are Mus- need- lims," said Luke. "They couldn't live here without humanir.nian aid. Or without us." " They tell you, 'You're here, so we feel safe,'" said Staff Sgt. Michael Mader from Fort Wayne, Ind. "It means a lot." Twice each day, a platoon from nearby Camp McGovern drives along the muddy tracks of Brod, checking on those who have returJIIld. Two U.S. soldiers were hun during Bosnian Serb riots in the area in August. These days, the biggest danger seems to come from the packs of children running up to the vehicles, waving and calling for candy.

Over the past 10 years, he has received more than $133,000 in support from tobacco interests, 111ore tban 'any other representative. Clifford Douglas, a Michigan lawyer . and consultant on tobacco control policy, says Philip Morris orchestrated the subpoenas. "It was · aments brilliant PR stroke to get the released to Blilcy," he docusays. "Philip . Morris is not just a constituent for him. It is a multibilliondollar corporation he's been close to for years." But political scientist Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia counters that those who see Bliley as a pawn of Philip Morris misunderstand whcre he is in his career. .• "This is a golden opportunity for him to declare his independence and let ~he world know he takes orders from no one," Sabato says.

JEFF W'IIARNE.RINSU-'•NCE llll Tobacco case tests mettle of panel chair called the 'congres~man from f)hilip Morris' By JESSICA LEE USA Today WASHINGTON Thomas Bliley served as Richmond's mayor for seven years because the federal cour:ts h~d suspended elections. People joked that he was a hostage. Selected mayor by his city council peers. Bliley presided from 1970 to 1977, a transitional period when voting rights laws and demographic change shifted political power in Vir· ginia 's capital from whites to blacks. Today, the 65-year-old Republican lawmaker, who has represented the Richmond area in Congress. since 1-981, is sometimes labeled a hostage of thti big tobacco companies at a time of transition for the tobacco industry. But tl1e congressman, chairman of the House Cominerce Committee, surprised observers this 'month by · demanding that tobacco companies turn over more than 800 internal industry documents thought to contain evidence of wrongdc!ing. The committee could release all 834 documents on the Internet as early ' as Thursday. House Speaker Newt Gingrich has tapped Bliley to lead House consideration ofthe proposed $368.5 billion settlement of states· lawsuits against the tobacco industry. Bliley declined requests for an interview, but his dr:i= matic demand for the industry documents has' set off a round of speculation about his motives. · Supporters salute Bliley as a jour- · neyman legislator who has shown himself to be a skilled and evenhanded consensus builder on a range of complex regulatory issues. He is credited, for example, with shepherding complex telecommunications and clean-water bills into law. But nothing is likely to test his skills more than the landmark national tobacco settlement l'l.e. . ·cELLULAR PHONES 312 GIFTS .
