So far, the only confirmation controversy in view is over Clinton's selection of Anthony Lake, hi s nauon~l security advi ser in the first term, to become director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Republicans said they' II demand an account of his role when the Clinton _administration quietly tolerated lraman arms sales to the Bosnian Muslims in 1994 without advising Congress. GOP Sen.

Chfistine Whitehead, who manages Coza•fs Hallmark on Pearl Road, is also worried about the businesses moving out of strip centers to the mall area. "Rini-Rego grocery is moving out of this center, and that could hurt us," said Whitehead. "Even though I believe we can still compete very well through the services we offer, a larger store like that helped draw customers." Both Funk and Whitehead said the best way to compete is personalized customer service. Jeffrey Susbauer, (lircctor of the Small Business Institute at Cleveland State Univer-sity, agrees, "The small retailer should focus on offering that extra service that is often not available in bigger retail operations," he said. : Funk.said he and other merchants will have to determine the long-term effects of the new dcvclopmont.

Groden told jufl)rs that a photograph - of Simpson wearing the same kind of rare Italian shoes as those that left bloody shoe prints at the killing scene - was a fake. Later, Fredric Rieders, founder of National Medical Services laboratory in Willow Grove, Pa., testified that EDTA, a chemical used by laboratories to. preserve blood samples, was detected on some blood. samples, including a soc!< found in Simpson's bedroom and the back gate at Ms. S.impson's condo. · The testimony was elicited to suggest that the blood had been pbitited by police after being obtained from a test tube sample of Simpson's blood. The defense tried to arrange the witness schedule so Simpson himself would n:turn to the stand and have the last word before the break, but ~cheduling problems and time constraints made that impossible. ' ' AI his estate, Simpson celebrated the custody decision with relatives and a few friends. A red-and-gold trimmed tree surrounded by presents awaited the children, although it was uncertain when they would return to the mansion. "''m personally happy and happy for my family. It's probably the best Christmas present anyone could hope to have and in the long run it's going to be the best thing for everyone,'' Simpson told the AP.

After years of refusals, delays and negotiations, Iraq is exponing oil and making its first food p~rchases as part of a $2 billion deal with the United Nations. Apparently, the Iraqi leader is betling the food that will pour into his country will ease civilian hunger, boost his popularity and strengthen his rule. The United States and its allies have other ideas, though, at least in regard to Saddarn 's power. They want to keep him cornered and that means keeping sanctions against Iraq in place. They hope the tightly monitored oil-for-food agreement will provide enough humanitarian relief to deflect pressure from the United Nations to lift the entire trade em bargo. "For years, the United States has regarded these limited sales as a trap for Saddam," said Patrick Clawson, a senior research professor at the National Defense University in Washington. Saddam took the bait in November, dropping objections to a deal that forces him to accept U.N. monitoring, which for years · he dismissed as an affront.to Iraqi sovereignty. · Oil started flowing again Dec. 10, . and the Australian Wheat Board said Friday that it sold 275,000 tons of grain to Iraq in Baghdad's first wheat deal under the U.N. agreement. "Clearly, Saddam is hoping that this is the beginning of the end for sanctions," Clawson said. "The ·United States·is hoping that this relieves the human suffering of the Iraqi peapie ... and therefore makes the sanetions sustainable for the future." The deal with the United Nations allows Iraq to sell $2 billion wonh of oil in 180 days, after which the deal can be renewed. Iraq has indicated it plans to ask the United Nations for permission to sell more oil after the first period. Iraqi officials say the new food will only increase government-subsidized rations from a two-week supply .to three, leaving civilians to· buy , the extra food on the orx;n market, which can be very e.xpenstve. Washington is l(kely to be wary of any attempts by Saddam to expand the deal. · · . Critics say Saddam only agreed to the deal because hts government was 'desperately shon on cash. They .fear that Iraq rna~ use the de~l as .an excuse to cult!<, own food substdtes and use the money to bolster the regime. ."There is no question that Saddam is going to use some of the money to increase his security apparatus,'' said BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq said Friday it had arrested members of a sabotage and espionage ring working for the CIA. · A brief dispatch on the official Iraqi News Agency said those arrested "gave full confessions on their activity against Iraq, its people and i!S leader President Saddarn Hussein."

With 48 seconds lert, River Valley guard Jermain Jackson, fouled by Chl'd Etheridge, put the Raiders ahead 20,19 with two free throws to complete their 9-0 run that Jackson started at the charity stripe almost three minutes earlier. But 12 seconds after Jackson's pivOial foul shots, Athens took a 21-20 lead when center Brent Horst got an offensive rebound and put in the stickback. That lead stood at hal rtime.

' His teammates didn't miss in four other tries im pnme time. . Roach's pivotal roul shots came · m the midst of the Bulldogs' 10·2 · run that put them ahead to stay. However, the Raiders caused the Athens raithful a few anxious moments when sophomore forward · Joey James sank a baseline jumrcr : woth 3:27 left to cut Athens' lead to . 38-37. The last threat the Rmders posed ; to their hosts was when Stephens sank his in-the-lane jumrcr and bll · the bonus foul shot made necessary by Joe Sparhawk's foul with 1:59 !crt. The tltrcc-point play cut.Alhens' lead to 42-40. But the Bulldop wm: able to get to the line enough times and make enough free throws to keep a! least a tour-point lead in the remaining time. ''We haven't got patience," said Raider mentor Carl Wolfe. "We throw the ball away. All those turnovers weren't caused by Athens. They were caused by us," he said of the Raiders ' committing nine turnovers in each half, including those that helped Athens m its pivotal run. · The shooters: Roach made four oul of five shots rrom the field to account far the rest of his game-high 21 points. Teammate Nathan Meyer made half of his I0 shots from the field to score as many points. James' 14 points came mostly from 6-for-15 field -goal shooting.

The U.S. government stancd to replace its tangled web of welfare programs on Oct. I. In essence, fed· era! officials told the state they would provide $728 million for the current budget year and that it was up to Ohioans to decide how to spend it. But the state must follow certain criteria, such as requiring all ablebodied adults to find work within two years and making sure illegal aliens don't get benefits. "I like that we're getting more responsibility," said Arnold Tompkins, director of the Ohio Depanment of Human Services. Tompkins promised to extend that responsibility to the counties, which will be able to tailor benefit programs to meet local needs. · "There 'sa real effort to look al tbc root ciuses of why people are on welfare," Thmpkins said. About SSO,OOO Ohioans receive !Welf~R-I>cntfrts . A family of three is 1:1 ;; eligible for $341 per month, plus food stamps and medical care. The good news from the state's perspective is that tbe federal block grant is $40 million more than state officials planned to spend. That's because the federal grant was based on the number of people on welfare in 19\14, a figure that has dropped by about a thitd in Ohio since then due to an improving economy and new work requirements. Amy Kuhn, of Nelsonville, is one of those left on the dole. . The 32-year-old mother of two works as a secretary at the Athens County Human Services basic liter· acy laboratory in exchange for ber benefits. Before she got into the state's Community Work Experience Pro. gmm six months ago, Mrs. Kuhn said she spent much of the past 13 years sitting around her home collecting benefits.
