A QUICK GLANCE AT EVENTS AROUND THE GLOBE
Fliers force First Amendment ruling reversal
ERIE (AP) A judge now believes that the First Amendment should
have prevailed and he should not have convicted a man for putting up
fliers that criticized another judge.
In an opinion filed in .Erie last week, Mercer County Judge John
Stranahan wrote that at first he accepted the prosecution's arguments
in the case against Anthony Ruby, but he had second thoughts.
In 1990, Erie County Judge Michael Joyce sentenced Ruby of
Cranesville, Erie County, to one to two years in prison on theft and
weapons charges.
Ruby later posted fliers on trees and poles that named Joyce, his for
mer wife and their two sons and implied that Joyce ran a "kangaroo
court."
Ruby was charged with retaliating for past official action. In Febru
ary, Stranahan said Ruby's behavior against Joyce was "malicious,"
and he sentenced Ruby to another one to two years in prison.
In his new ruling, Stranahan wrote that he should have acquitted
Ruby.
Philadelphia chemical spill causes evacuation
PHILADELPHIA (AP) A small chemical spill filed a health center
with toxic fumes yesterday, forcing an evacuation of about 150 people
for the entire day.
The fumes formed when X-ray developing liquid and the sulfuric
acid in a drain cleaner came into contact in the drain system, Fire
Capt. Henry Dolberry said.
At least one employee at the Maria DeLos Santos Health Center in
North Philadelphia, a 27-year-old woman, was treated at Temple Uni
versity Hospital for dizziness and breathing difficulties and released,
Dolberry said.
The spill occurred at 10:40 a.m. It was under control about three
hours later, he said. The amount of chemicals released was still being
assessed.
Burning Man festival draws many to desert
RENO, Nev. (AP) On the blank
expanse of the northern Nevada
desert, a temporary city has arisen
that will be home to artists, per
formers and free spirits drawn to
what may be the ultimate anarchist
party.
Burning Man, a festival that
began 11 years ago on a San Fran
cisco beach as a woeful tribute to
scorned love, starts today and cul
minates Labor Day weekend with
the torching of a 40-foot-tall wood
en man in a barren desert basin.
Thousands are expected to
attetrd the-esoteric mix of pagan
fire ritual and sci-fi Dada circus
where some paint their bodies,
bang drums, fiance naked and wear
costumes that would draw stares in
a Mardi Gras parade.
When 10,000 people showed up
last year at a site on public land in
neighboring Pershing County,
northeast of Reno, county commissioners there worried that the festi
val was getting out of control.
Researchers trace smells of hog manure
PEORIA, 111. (AP) How do you take the stink out of hog manure?
That's a question researchers at the University of Illinois and else
where are trying to answer.
Scientists at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization
Research, located in Peoria, soon might join other researchers in try
ing to solve the problem. Rep. Ray LaHood, said last week he
would ask Congress for $1 million in federal money to pay for the
research.
Dr. Peter B. Johnsen, director of the National Center for Agricultur
al Utilization Research, a division of the U.S. Agriculture Department,
said removing the smell from hog waste is not easy.
But, he added, "It's not a bizarrely difficult, intractable problem."
Israel troops tear gas elementary students
BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) Coughing and crying, Palestinian
girls ran out of their classrooms yesterday when Israeli tear-gas canis
ters aimed at stone-throwing rioters landed in their Bethlehem school
yard.
About a dozen third- and fourth-graders were treated for tear-gas
inhalation. Palestinian police carried away those girls overcome by the
gas.
The school's 650 students, dressed in gray- or green-striped uni
forms, were forced to evacuate. Many covered their faces with hand
kerchiefs or pinched shut their noses.
Israeli troops fired rubber bullets at the Palestinian stone-throwers,
injuring five of them.
Bethlehem has been the scene of daily protests this week against
Israel's closure of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which bars Palestini
ans from entering Israel. The biblical town has been hardest hit: Its
60,000 residents are prohibited from leaving their city, and tourists
cannot enter.
De Klerk retires from political scene
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) Former President F.W. De Klerk,
who shared the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in dismantling
apartheid, resigned yesterday as leader of the party that created it.
Pragmatic to the end, De Klerk said he is quitting politics to give his
party a chance to regroup before the 1999 elections. Divided and in
disarray, the party now is trying to stay alive in a drastically changed
political landscape.
"With my retirement, I wish to open a door for the National Party to
provide further proof of its dynamic break with the past," De Klerk
told reporters.
Party officials said the 61-year-old de Klerk would stay on until a
new leader is chosen on Sept. 9.
When he became president in 1989, De Klerk was widely viewed as a
moderate expected to protect apartheid. Instead, he declared soon
after taking office that "white domination will have to disappear, oth
erwise there will never be peace in South Africa."
De Klerk immediately began to dismantle apartheid laws. Within a
year, he legalized 60 anti-apartheid groups, including the now-govern
ing African National Congress, whose leader, Nelson Mandela, was
elected president in 1994.
Mandela said yesterday he hoped the country would remember how
de Klerk, who freed him from 27 years in prison, helped bring about a
peaceful transformation.

festival in Black Rock Desert
Nevada stands tall at 40 feet.
