Local interest waning in Oprah trial
AMARILLO (AP) — Empty
courtroom pews, a nearly deserted
sidewalk and relative quiet around
the federal
building can
mean just one
thing: Oprah-
mania is level-
ing off, at least
for now.
As Oprah
Winfrey’s beef
defamation
Winfrey trial enters its
sixth day, the mobs of television
cameras and local fans have dwin-
dled considerably. In just a week,
she’s starting to become a fixture.
During an afternoon break
Monday, Winfrey had a chance to
catch a breath of unseasonably
warm Amarillo air on the court-:
house steps. Such a jaunt would
have touched off pandemonium
last week; no one was around to
gawk this time.
Inside the courtroom, only
about 30 spectators filled the
spaces where 60 or more were
crammed last week.
Plaintiff Bill O’Brien remained
on the witness stand all day. He
said a second show by Winfrey
discussing the potential threat of
Clinton to give State of Union address
WASHINGTON - In his State of the Union address, President
Clinton will offer a balanced budget and an ambitious plan for
Americas immediate future — even as his own future twists in a
Y'Va _ ' hurricane of doubt over
kfirvrv i-tno T)T)TT7T?C I accusations he had an
lUL/Al jDAIEiTj { affair with a young White
- Speaking Monday at a
gathering on after-school child care, Clinton said he will propose
an effort to limit to IS the number of children in 1st-. 2nd- and
3rd-grade classes, a takeoff of a “quite controversial and enor-
mously beneficial” policy he instituted as governor of Arkansas.
Clinton said he would offer a plan to build and renovate more
schools and create after-school programs. “All these will help our
n: ■' :v
With first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton at his side, the president
also denied having sexual relations with former intern Monica
Lewinsky and urging her to lie about it. “These allegations are
false. And 1 need to go back to work for the American people,” he
said.
Jets have close call with sky divers
DALLAS — The crews of two American Airlines passenger
jets had close calls with sky divers, with one plane forced to dive
to avoid a collision and another coming dangerously close to
them, according to federal regulators and the airline.
No injuries occurred, but the separate weekend events raised
new questions about safety of one of the busiest airways into Dal-
las-Fort Worth International Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration told The Dallas Morning
News that the situation was further complicated because pilots of
the McDonnell Douglas MD-80s and the sky-diving planes were
talking to air traffic controllers in facilities miles apart.
“There are going to be some fairly hard questions asked about
this and if we need to make some changes in the way we handle
air traffic out there, or where traffic is handed off from one facility
to the other, we’ll make the changes,” Doug Murphy, air traffic
division manager for the FAA’s Southwest Region.
An on-board warning from Traffic Collision and Avoidance
System sounded Saturday afternoon, forcing American Flight
176l’s crew to dive to avoid sky divers’ single-engine plane at
11,000 feet altitude.
Japanese finance minister to resign
TOKYO — Japan’s embattled finance minister said today he
will resign over a bribery scandal that has led to the arrests of two
senior bureaucrats under his supervision, according to a news
report.
Hiroshi Mitsuzuka had been under heavy pressure to quit after
the powerful Finance Ministry was searched by Tokyo prosecutors
on Monday and the two officials were arrested.
The finance minister met with Prime Minister Ryutaro
Hashimoto today, and national broadcaster NHK reported that
Mitsuzuka agreed at that meeting to step down.
No resignation date was given. NHK said Mitsuzuka would
make an announcement later today at a news conference. A Min-
istry of Finance spokeswoman refused to comment on the reports.
Clinton lawyers want earlier trial date
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Lawyers for President Clinton who
have repeatedly tried to delay the sexual harassment trial sought by
Paula Jones have asked a judge to set an earlier trial date.
Moving up the trial, which is scheduled for May 27, would give
lawyers an earlier chance to question Monica Lewinsky and Linda
Tripp, two women at the center of the sex allegations against Clin-
ton.
In court papers filed Monday, the president’s lawyers said that it
is in “the nation’s best interest” to achieve a “speedy resolution” of
Mrs. Jones’ case. They did not suggest a new date.
Jones attorney James Fisher called the request “a little puz-
zling,” considering the president’s lawyers fought for two years to
delay the case.
U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright left the courthouse
Monday without ruling on the request.
Woman says Tucker should be spared
GATESVILLE — Linda May Burnett, convicted in a heinous
crime that left five people dead, thinks Karla Faye Tucker should
live.
“If I can do this, come in the prison system, and I can live in
peace with other people and I can reach out and help out younger
people around me, I believe in my heart Karla can,” says Mrs.
Burnett. “I think Karla is a better person than I am.
Ms. Tucker, set tq die Fel>. 3 for her part in the pickax killing of
two people in Houston in 1983, would be the first woman execut-
ed in Texas since the Civil War.
“Karla is a crusader. She’s a person who can reach out and talk
to you, if you even think of going in the wrong direction, she can
pull you back,” Mrs. Burnett says.
Sent to death row almost 20 years ago, Mrs. Burnett believes
she’s proof people can change.
— The Associated Press
mad cow disease wasn’t enough to
undo damage caused by the first.
“She didn’t go on the program
and eat a hamburger before the
world,” said Bill O’Brien, co-
owner of Texas Beef Group and
one of several cattlemen who
blame Winfrey for plummeting
red meat prices following her
April 16, 1996, program about
“dangerous foods.”
Winfrey’s show came in
response to the March 1996
British announcement that their
decade-long mad cow outbreak
probably caused a similar human
disease that has killed about two
dozen people.
A guest on her first show, food
safety activist Howard Lyman, had
criticized the practice of feeding
rendered livestock protein back ©
cattle, a practice thought to have
spread mad cow disease in Eng-
land, and made illegal in the U.S.
last summer.
Lyman’s remarks caused Win-
frey to swear off burgers on the
air.
The plaintiffs say pro-beef state-
ments by National Cattlemen’s
Beef Association specialist Gary
Weber and others on the initial
show were purposely cut out of
the show.
“The editing on the first pro-
gram, that was malicious,”
O’Brien said.
Jury selection begins
in cadet murder case:
FORT WORTH (AP) — Prose-
cutors this morning opened jury
selection in the capital murder trial
of a former Navy midshipman
accused in a deadly love triangle by
explaining the woman could be
guilty even if she didn’t fire the
fatal shots.
“In the state of Texas, there’s no
such thing as accomplices or
accessories,” lead prosecutor Mike
Parrish said. “Here, if you partici-
pate in any part of the crime, you’re
guilty of the worst crime being
committed.”
Diane Zamora, 20, is charged
with capital murder in the Decem-
ber 1995 bludgeoning and shooting
death of Adrianne Jones, 16, who
supposedly had a one-time sexual
encounter with Ms. Zamora’s then-
fiance, David Graham.
Ms. Zamora was a freshman at
the Naval Academy and Graham
was in his first year at the U.S. Air
Force Academy when they were
arrested in September 1996. Gra-.
ham will be tried separately. »
According to statements froni
both former cadets, they lured Ms.
Jones a secluded road, where Ms.
Zamora hit her with a dumbbell
weight, then Graham shot her in
the head when she tried to flee.
The saga made national head-
lines and became the focus of two
books and a television movie,
prompting state District Judge Joe
Drago to personally interview
more than 100 prospective jurors
last week to weed out those who
had already made up their minds.
Most of the 90 people invited
back today said they knew of %
case, but hadn’t come to a conclu-
sion as to who might be guilty.
Clinton administration begins
looking at Iraq strike options
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mili-
tary planners are working to ensure
there’s enough firepower in the Per-
sian Gulf to mount a sustained air
attack, if needed, against Iraq.
Meanwhile, administration offi-
cials warn that Iraq may be illegally
manufacturing biological weapons
— an argument that could pave the
way for an attack on Saddam Hus-
sein’s military arsenal.
Should President Clinton decide
on such a move, “it won’t be a pin-
prick,” but a campaign that could
last several days or even longer, a
Pentagon official predicted.
A second senior official empha-
sized Monday that no such deci-
sion has been made, “but we’re
running out of diplomatic options.”
Secretary of State Madeline
Albright has conferred by tele-
phone with Robin Cook, the
British foreign secretary. Britain
has supported the United States
without qualification and has sent a
potent carrier force to the Persian
Gulf for use in an attack on Iraq.
There are some 24,400 U.S. mili-
tary men and women in the Gulf
region. Most are at sea on board
two aircraft carrier battle groups,
led by the USS Nimitz and the
USS George Washington.
Next week, a third carrier, the
Independence, will be in Gulf
waters to take the Nimitz’ place.
