Fun for everyone
Five-year-old Sasha Bocharov, foreground, plays with his friends
at a camp for AIDS-infected children in a small town six miles from
St. Petersburg. On Sunday, the camp provided a safe place for the
children where they did not have to lie about or be afraid of their
illness.
'Peeping Toms' may be punished by law
HARRISBURG A state lawmaker yesterday proposed making
so-called "peeping Toms" subject to criminal prosecution and
imprisonment.
Rep. Chris McNally, D-Allegheny, said he would introduce a bill
next month making it a second-degree misdemeanor to look at another
person through a window, door or other aperture "without license
or privilege."
He said he wrote the bill after a male YMCA employee was fined
$3OO for peering into a women's bathroom through a two-way mirror.
The employee received no jail term under the summary offense.
Under McNally's proposal, the offense would become a first-degree
misdemeanor if the defendant constructed a peeping hole to commit
the crime. The maximum sentence would be five years in jail and
a $lO,OOO fine.
Man sinks while visiting mom's grave
NEWTOWN A man planting mums on his mother's grave was
trapped for two hours when the ground gave way and he sank knee
high.
Kenneth McLaughlin, 29, said he tried repeatedly to free him
self, but the leg that sank into soft ground Saturday became stuck
under the base of his mother's headstone.
Help arrived after two hours, said McLaughlin, a security guard.
McLaughlin was rescued by a bicyclist, who called for help. A police
officer used a flower pot near the grave to shovel a two-foot hole
and free McLaughlin.
Blimp new vehicle used to patrol cities
PHILADELPHIA It's quieter than a helicopter. It has more space.
And for the sometimes lengthy surveillance, there's the ever convenient
bathroom.
It's a blimp on patrol and it could be coming to a city near you.
Actually it's official name is the City Aero Patrol, the latest vehicle
police can use to patrol from the sky.
"It's a police car in the sky for big cities," Richard DeSipio, an
engineer with the Naval Air Warfare Center which devised the vehicle,
told the Philadelphia Daily News.
The Navy developed the blimp about 18 months ago as part of the
effort to convert military know-how into civilian use, he said.
The blimp, which can travel up to 60 mph, costs $8 million to
$lO million to own.
Cable companies face tougher competition
WASHINGTON, D.C. A federal judge opened cable television
markets up to more competition yesterday by allowing telephone
companies to provide video programming in many areas now served
by only one cable company.
Judge T.S. Ellis of U.S. District Court in suburban Alexandria, Va.,
overturned a 1984 rule that barred regional telephone companies
from offering cable service in the same areas they provide phone
service. The rule was part of the 1984 Cable Communications Policy
Act.
The Justice Department, which argued for keeping the ban in place,
has not decided whether to appeal, department spokesman Joe Krovisky
said.
"We have 60 days in which to make a decision on whether to appeal,"
Krovisky said.
More U.S. troops to be sent to Somalia
WASHINGTON, D.C. The Clinton administration is sending 400
additional American soldiers, members of an elite Army Ranger unit,
into Somalia this week to reinforce U.S. troops there, officials said
today.
"This deployment is not a policy change. It is in keeping with the
basic mission that was set out from the May time frame, which was
to try to improve the security situation" in Mogadishu, said Pen
tagon spokeswoman Kathleen deLaski.
DeLaski said the Rangers would be deployed from a Ft. Benning,
Ga.-based battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment, and that they would
head out "in the next few days."
She declined to discuss the Rangers' mission in greater detail than
to say they would augment the U.S. "quick reaction force" that already
is deployed in Mogadishu.
Demjanjuk linked to Sobibor death camp
JERUSALEM Nazi-hunters seeking a new war crimes trial against
John Demjanjuk said yesterday they have evidence linking him to
the Majdanek death camp in occupied Poland where 250,000 Jews
perished.
The organizations are also following leads indicating that he was
at Sobibor, another Nazi death camp in Poland. On Monday, a woman
in New Jersey said she remembered Demjanjuk at Sobibor and would
be willing to testify.
Israel's Supreme Court yesterday, meanwhile, rejected an appeal
from a Holocaust memorial group that demanded police investi
gate whether Demjanjuk committed war crimes at two other Nazi
concentration camps.
Demjanjuk, 73, was acquitted July 29 of being "Ivan the Terri
ble," a guard at Treblinka death camp who operated gas chambers
in which 850,000 Jews perished.
Justices ruled there was considerable evidence that Demjanjuk
was at other camps, including the Sobibor death camp, where about
250,000 Jews died. They recommended against another trial, citing
the danger of double jeopardy.
People important to new prime minister
TOKYO Japan must worry less about being an economic
superpower and more about improving the lives of its people, Prime
Minister Morihiro Hosokawa said Monday in his first policy speech
to parliament.
He promised to cut Japan's huge trade surplus a sore spot in
relations with the United States by opening markets to more imports
and making imported goods cheaper.
In another clear break from his predecessors, Hosokawa used strong
language to apologize for Japan's aggression during World War 11.
Drawing frequent, energetic applause, Hosokawa said he would
cut import prices so that Japanese could enjoy the benefits of the
stronger yen, which has risen about 20 percent against the dollar
since February.
