WASHINGTON - Republicans arc gearing up for a tax cut campatgn next year, and while President Clinton says he hasn't decided whether he'll he proposing one of his own. he can't afford to concede them the 1ssue. . Simplilied. lower taxes arc too salable a campatgn potnt lor the Whtte House to let mat happen as the Democrats try to defy the htstory of losses hy the president's pany in mid-term congressional elections. . "I can 't say at this time that I will have anything to say about tax cuts tn the State of the Union," Clinton said. But by that lime, after Congress reconvcncs on Jan 27, he probably will. Indeed, he said at his end-of-the-year news conference this week that he agrees in ·principle with the reduction at_the top of the GOP tax agenda, to undo the so-called marriage penally. whtch puts couples wllh two JObs mto hiJ[her tax brackets than they'd face sin~lv. · "But on the other hand, it's like every other tax cut," Clinton said. "There are a Jot of other tax cuts that might be desirable, but how would you pay for them' . "How would you not increase the deficit? How would you keep the budgel moving toward halance?" That's one dilemma. There's another: Republicans won conuol of Congress after depicting Clinton as a Democratic tax-raiser in. the 1994 campaign: He said they "successfully argued that we had a tax mcrease m the '93 budget for ordinary Americans," which he insisted wasn't really so.

The 1993 strategy worked, Clinton said when he announced that the budget deficit for this year was $22.6 billion, the lowest in 23 years, down ho'!!,.. neUJy $300billion whettlle toot otnce. But as Clinton obscrvc4 earlier this month, the deficit is down. not out. Budgets are to be balanced by 2002 under the plan Clinton and Congress agreed upon. and it includes $152 billion in tax cuts over the n~xt ftve years. Since the 'thriving economy was driving deficits down before the budget deal. then: are suggestions that it may be balanced sooner, perhaps in 1998. But Clinton said there should nOT be rash decisions that might do ceonomic harm. ''We don't want to spend money we don 't yet have," he said Dec. S. a line that might have come fmm an earlier GOP playbOOk. The strategy Republican leaders have outlined for the election year is to pu.<h tax cuts and dare Clinton to say the government can't aiTord them. Barry's World -- ...,.; -_..___ ~- 0 1-7 Dy NEA.

River Border Initiative 1998 grants l By SCOTT SONNER Aaeoclated Preas Writer WASHINGIDN - The U.S. government set off more than two dozen atomic blasts from 1961 to 1973 to study whether nuclear explosives could be used to build harbors, tunnels and canals, newly declassified documents show. The most destructive, at the Nevada Test Site July 6, 1962, was seven times the size of the bomb dropped in August 1945 on Hiroshima, Japan. It displaced 12 million tons of eanh and released the seismic energy equivalent or an eanhquake with a magmtude of 4.7S on the Richter scale, Energy 'Dcpanment officials said Monday. Newly released film of that "ProJect Sedan" shows the spectacular explosion and 320-foot-deep. 1.280foot-diameter crater left behind by the 104 kiloton blast. The bomb at Hiroshima was IS kilotons. Energy Secretary Fedenco Pena previewed .the films with reporters, including new footage he described as "disturbing" of radiatton tests on pigs and other animals at nuclear test sites during the Cold War. The Energy Department also showed tests 30 years ago using parachutists to deliver a lightweight nuclear device to enemy harbors. The small nuclear devtce would have yielded less than a kiloton, but could have left a large area of contaminated water. It nev(r was used. Other footage included thenAttorney General Roben Kennedy · donning eye shade~ to view a blast at the Nevada Test Site in 1962 and a soldier firing a nuclear weapon from a shoulder-fired riOe - an atomic battlbli~ld weapon, the Army withdrew from units in 1972.

"Fact No. I: In 1989, a survey among college women, a group we presume to be well: informed on the risks or herpes, genital \llarts, cervical cancer and AIDS, showed that only 41 percent insisted on condom use. If educated women can't be persuaded to use condoms, how can we expect teenagers to do so? "Fact No. 2: Condoms fail fre· qucntly due to improper storage. handling and usage. The breakage rate during vaginal intercourse is 14 percent. For a person who averages sex three times a week, a 14 percent breakage rate equates to a failure nearly every two weeks. "For condoms to be the answer to AIDS, they must be used every time, and they cari never break or leak. So what's the answer? the only answer is no sex until one is ready to commit to a monogamous relationship. The key words are abstinence and monogamy. "I can hear. the moans.

In 1905, the Colorado River broke through dikes where engineers were trying to divert water to Imperial ValIcy farmers and flooded an ancient dry lake bed. A freshwater lake was born. · But over the years, salt from the soil leached into the water, for which there is no outlet. Today, the sea is 25 pen:cnl saltier than the Pacific Ocean. Although almost a fil\h of the volume evaporates in temperatures that routinely ·top 125 degrees in the summer. the sea is replenished by drainwntcr from fertilized !ields and two major trihutaries. the Alamo and the New rivers.

Like most of the I ,400 residents along .the Salton's more developed west shore, Jennings dismisses an Imperial County health warning to limit consumption of fish.

Clinton aides said Krajisnik who is loyal to the top suspect, Radovan Karadzic - and his rival Biljana Plavsic fell silent when Clinton reminded them of their commitment under the Dayton accords, which ended ethnic warfare in the former Yugoslavia, to tum suspects over. Plavsic, the Bosnian Serb presi· dent, urged Clinton to be patient. "Slowly. one can expect results, but cenain thln&s cannot be implemented quickly,.. she said.

In fact, a measure tied to the GDP rose just 1.4 percent at an annual rate, the smallest increase in five years. Earlier in the year, many analysts had predicted economic growth would begin to slow appreciably during the third quarter. Instead, it continued at nearly the same rate of the April-June quarter, although that was down from an even stronger 4.9 percent in the January-March period, the department said in its final revision of thirdquarter data. .

Israel (AP) - The city of Nazareth, where the Bible says Jesus was raised, is gearing up for J millennia! rivalry with Palestinian-run Bethlehem over the hearts and pocketbooks of millions of pilgrims. Both cities have recently begun a publici\Y blitz that will gr()w increasingly intense as 2QOO approaches, and are raising millions of dollars for much-needed face lifts. , • For Israel, Nazareth has gained new prominence since Bethlehem became autonomous l\VO years ago . :With the holy ci.ty of Jerusalem under dispute, this Israeli-Arab town, with about 35 churches and monasteries, is Israel's main undisputed Christian tourist anraction. :· Nazareth's Christian credentials will be economically signifiCant in 2000, when up to 5 million tourists, plOStly pilgrims, are expected- up from the nonnal 2 million per year. . Bethlehem is more geographically central and enjoys a somewhat higher profile in Western song and lore. But Nazan:th officials ga!here? at a m!llenni_um part~ ~oqday sa1d they are opUmlsUc that htstory IS on thetr stde. "Nazareth is the place Jesus spent IDQSI of his life," said deputy mayor Suhail Diad. "Jesus was only born in Bethlehem, and he died in Jerusalem. Between those times he was always in Nazareth." The two cities have much in common: Both are hilly, and Nazareth, with 60,000 people, is only slightly larg- , er. While less. than one-tenth of Palestinians are Christian, both cities· have a considerable Christian minority , - in Nazareth about 40 percent,. in Bethlehem, about . one-quarter. · But Bethlehem is considered part of the West Bank, which Israel captured from Jordan in 1967. It became autonomous in 1995, and it will almost certaitlly be part ·of the Palestinian "entity" to emerge in a future final peace settlement. Nazareth, about 80 miles north, is in land Israel cap- · lured during its 1948-49 war of independence, .which created borders widely accepted now in the Arab world. Sn whereas Bethlehem's population is Palestinian, · the people of Nazareth are "Israeli Arabs," part of a minoritr that •CC?u~ts for almosl one-fifth 'of Israel's populatton of 6 m1lhon. "Nazareth is in Israel and will stay in Israel," Tareq Shihada, the city's tourism director. · Shihada said Nazareth plans sorru: $250 million in improvements by 2000, and about one-third of the sum had already been raised from the Israeli government. The focus is on increasing the number of hotel rooms · in the cily from 600 to 2,000. As part of that, buildings from the 18th and 191h centuries will be converted into bed-and-breakfast inns, he saidc Other projects include adding roads, improving the sewage system, creating a sound-and-light show on the history of Nazareth, renovating the old city and central · market, and building a half-mile pathway from downtown to a hilltop church on a site Jesus is believed to have frequented as a.boy. , · On Monday, the city launched the "Jubillenium," cultural and religious events promoting peace and coexistence over the next two years at various sites around the world and funded by three unidentified busines.~men, an Israeli, a European and an Ameriean. . . Nazarenes in biblical robes roamed the hotel lobby where the· ceremony wa~ held, handing out Mrs-d'beuvres. . · It Jas a prime occasion for Nazareth hype. Mayor Ramiz Jaraisy, who addressed Israeli and for· eign dignitaries, said, "Nazareth is one of the most importanf cities in the whole world. It's the hometown ()f Jesus. He is called Jesu.~ of Nazareth; no.t Jesus of any other city!"" .
