WASHINGTON (AP) ..:._ In a pivotal day reached
only twice before in Ihe nation's history, Republicans are
primed to muscle through the House Judiciary Commit·
tee an impeachment resolution ,that advocates .~emoval
of President Clinton from office.
Tlie committee where legal arguments are commingl_~d with raw partisanship is to debate four articles of
·impeachment today before making its recommendations
to the 435-member House.
The articles accuse t~e president of lying under oath
to a grand jury, lying tinder,oath in !he Paula Jones civil
lawsuit, obstruction of justice and abuse of JlOWer. All ~f
Clinton's actions were designed, they say, 10 conceal h1s
extramarital affair with a former While House intern half

.
Clinton met late Thursday wit~· his advisers to discuss
the possibility of delivering another ~lateme.nt of conlri·
lion to help stave off impeachment.
.

The presjdent was open to the id~a, but told aid~s. he
wanted to sleep on it, and would g~ve them a dec1s10n

.
An adviser who attended the meeting, speaking on
condition of anonymity, said Clinton told them he would
~'lake a crack'' at writing the statement overnight. If he
decided to proceed, Clinton could issue a statement as
early as today, aides say.
A staff draft of a proposed presidential statement calls
his conduct "terribly wrong" and says, "I understand
today how reasonable people could read from my testi·
mony in the (Paula) Jones case and conclude !"crossed

first obtained by MSNBC, has not been read by Clinton,

POINT PLEASANf, W.Va. -A
complete investigation into Thursday's escape and response to the
escape of !Wo Mason County Jail
inmates will be conducted, according
to Prosecuting Attorney Diana Johnson.
The fugitives were captured by
local enforcement officers later in the
day in Rio Grande.
. The safety of both law enforce•
men! officers and the entire county
was endangered by the early Thurs·
day escape of felons Michael Wilson,
19, and Jonathan Eatmon, 27, both of
Poinl Pleasant, Johnson said.
•
Wilson was indicted in September
on three felony counts of breaking,
and entering, one felony count or
grand Iarceny, and misdemeanor petit .
larceny. Eatmon, who had been extra·
dited from Tennessee, is charged with
felony offense grand larceny.
"There is no excuse for the failure
to immediately notify local law
enforcement and the citizens of
Mason County to beware of these
escaped prisoners. The fact that unsecured weapons were stolen from the
sheriff's office raises additional con·
cerns regarding security," Johnson
said in a release this morning.
"These men should have been
considered 'armed and dangerous'. •
The public had an absolute right to
know that these prisoners had
escaped into the community. Concern .
for the safety of \!thers should have
taken precedence over the embarrass·
menl ~uch an escape might have
caused the stteriffs department,"
Johnson added.
Wilson and Eatmon told a correc·
lions officer around 2 a.m. Thursday
that they needed to go clean the sher·
ifl's office, according to Sheriff Troy
"Shorty" Huffman. The corrections
officer lei the men out of jail.
The duo proceeded to the court·
house annex office, a building sepa·
rate from the jail, where they found
keys in the secretary's office. to Cha~­
lie Stearns' office where ev1dence 1s
kept, the sheriff said. The men drank
alcohol and look four pistols before
leaving, Huffman said.
Johnson's statement said sheriffs
department records show lhe escape
was nol discovered until approxi·
mately 6 a.m. She said that in addir
lion to the handguns, cash was stoleO
from the sheriffs office. .
Emergency Services Director
Chuck Blake said the 911 office was
riot made aware of the escape until
early Thursday afternoon. Johnson
said OES was never requested to
issue a BOLO or stolen · gun report
when they received the information.
However, they did issue a BOLO,

Be car~ful when buying medicine
For a person such as myself, the med1cme that is taken can make the difference 1n your abiluy to get up and go and the quality of life that you have
I would like to share some of these w1th the people who read this paper.
I JOined a prescriptiOn drug purchase group in the belief that it would save
• me money. When I received my membership card, I read all the information
.top to bottom, cover to cover. One of the prescn pt1ons that I use is expenSIVe to use Because of this I bought half a refill. telling the pharmacist that
I would come back in a couple of weeks for the other half. When I returned
for that half, the pharmacist told me that I could not have it, that through this
purchase plan a half refill counts as a full refill, no matter how many pills
you get. It doesn't matter if it's 10 or 20, it is counted as a full refill- somethmg that was not 10 the mformation that was sent to me when I joined and
was not told to me by the pharmacist when I got only half.
When I went to get a new prescription filled for the same type of medication, since I was not feeling well when asked if I wanted to have brand
name or generic 1 asked which one was cheaper. The pharmacist told me that
1f I pa1d cash I would save money by not gettmg the med1cal!on through the
drug purchase plan, again something that had never been told to me. I mistakenly said I wanted genenc When 1 reached home I found that I had the
same crappy p1lls that I had purchased months ago by mistake and are completely worthless The next evemng I called the pharmacy and they asked me
1f it was their fault. As I am always honest, I admitted that it was my mistake I was then in forme&gt;! that a law had been passed years ago when medieine was being tampered with that once you leave the store you cannot bnng
medic10e back for either refund or exchange, something no one had ever told

me.

Say~ an exasperated American lawyer doing
business here: "The money has disappeared mto
every possible pocket except where it should be - witli the great bulk of the Russ1an people. The
problem is, you have no Jaw."
There's no question that the Soviet Umon,
under communism, was also corrupt. What
money there was tended to fi Iter upwards, to the
party officials who ran the country.
What's different now IS the level of ostentatious wealth accumulated by the oligarchs, m
direct contrast to the RusSian populace that's seen

roll, owing allegiance to gangs that are engage&lt;! in
every imaginable business.
In a Western society, part of the check on such
corruption, especially when 11 reaches into law
enforcement, comes from an independent media.
Once agam, u~fortunately, Russia does not have
the advantage of this.
Most of the media is owned by oligarchs who
use television and newspapers to promote their
own business interests and push the politicians
they are backing -- politicians who act as puppets
for them.
Here and there are some courageous Russian
journalists who buck the tide, but they then literally have reason to fear for their lives if they
investigate cases of corruption too thoroughly.

The face of an affirmative action-less society
By DEBORAH MATHIS
Tribune Media Sarvlees
WASHINGTON -- If you
want to see the face of an affirmative action-less society,
behold the U.S Supreme
Court
The Court has decided that
1t does npt want to sit down and
talk with the NAACP, three '--------'
black members of Congress or anyone else to
answer why so few of the justices' clerks are
black or female.
Without an "affirmative action policy or a
mechanism for monitoring it, an employer, school
or contractor with a lousy record and no smoking
gun has only to deny discrimination, a Ia Chief
Justice Wilham Rehnquist, who answered the
cunous w1th this simple declarallon.
"Each of us is satisfied that no person is
excluded from consideration for a clerkship
because of race, religion, gender, nationality or
for any other impermissible reason.",
Whew! For a moment there, I thought there
might be something foul afoot, given that the
Supremes have hired 4281aw clerks in their years
on the court and, of that number only about 7 are
black and on Iy about 100 are women
I'II adm,it, it crossed my mmd that maybe, just
maybe, the justices haven't been looking too far
and wide for folks to fill ihe precious clerkships
which serve as veritable vouchers for those cushy,
presllgious jobs m big Jaw firms down the road.
I thought there m1ght be a rat in the process, I

"agamst the state "

The Federalist 65 gives the clearest explanatiOn of
the Founders' intentiOns It declares that impeachment
trials ought to probe "offenses which proceed from the
misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the
abuse or violation of some public trust ... injuries done
Immediately to the society itself."
Ham1lton sidesteps this charactenzation. He says
Clin ton's sworn test1mony about L'affaire Lewinsky
1sn't a high crime, but a " low" one-- even if the president perJured himself repeatedly. Why? Because the hes
didn't interfere w1th the chief executive's performance
of h1s constJtutJonal duties
Still, the lawyer believes Congress ought to deliver
some express1on of diSgust for the president's assorted
malfeasances and malefactions So, he suggests a concurrent resoluhon, wh1ch the House Rules Manual
defines as "a means of expressing ... principles, opmJons and purposes of the two Houses."
Unfortunately for Hamilton, concurrent resolutiOns
generally are a joke .. ringmg endorsements of the obvi·

"This man was always getting
some money from government and
from (former Prime Minister Viktor)
Chernomyrdin," explained a well·
connected top academician at a staterun)nstitute. "When it came 11me to
vote for the government budget, he
would always come to Chernomyrdin
-- and Chernomyrdin would give him
something for his party, and for him
personally. And then his party unammously voted for the budget,
always. '
Primakov became the compromise candidate
for prime mimster last September after the Duma
twice reJected the once-fired Chemomyrdin for
the post.
·
It is well-known here, and wJdel y reported,
that Chernomyrdin's funding -- and ability to
"help" others in the Duma and elsewhere -- has
come from, the so-called "oligarchs," a wealthy
busmess class that has sucked the country dry
It is the oligarchs who have siphoned off enormous profits fram businesses, many of wh1ch
have smce failed, and who supported Yeltsin m
his successful 1996 bid for re-election.
In U.S. House of Representatives testimony, ·
Heritage Foundation analyst Ariel Cohen elo·
quently explamed th1s Russmn tragedy of distort-

n 't done anything that deserves impeachment (that is,
gettmg slapped With formal charges by the House). The
lawyer warns that America's Founders wanted to restrict
that Rind of scrutiny to alleged "crimes against the
stat~ "
But the record isn't so clear on that pomt. James
Madison's notes of the Constitut1onal Convention tell us
that delegates d1d, in fact, agree to restnct impeachment
to "high crimes and m1sdemeanors against the state "
But then, they changed their mmds and lowered the standard They removed the very phrase Hamilton c1tes:

RehnqUJst even dragged out the 1old pledge of
bygone bigots, albeit dressed up 'this time in the
somber tones of the high court
"As the demographic makeup of this pool
changes, 11 sees enlirely likely that the underrepresentation of minorities to wh1ch you refer in
your letter will also change," said Rehnquist.
In other words, one day, but not this day
Where have we heard that before?
But, not to worry. The chief JUStice, robed for
life, assures us that patience will pay off. How

ous. Recent concurrent resolutions praise the parties
responsible for the Northern Ireland peace accord and
'
. of Human
the authors of the Universal
DeclaratiOn
R1ghts. Others condemn bombings m Jerusalem and call
on Cuba to extradite Americans who fled to Castro's
paradise 1n order to escape criminal prosecution in the
United States. The only clear exception to the rule of
meaninglessness is the 1991 resolution in support of the
Gulf War
This brings us to the crucial part. Many members of
Congress --i ncluding some Republicans -- war.t the
option of "punishing" Clinton by drafting a blistering
resolution of censure. They say thiS would give the presIdent a proper comeuppance by writing an unflattering
page for a man notoriously preoccupied with h1s place in
history.
·
The law gets in the way of this happy compromise,
however, because Congress can't both censure and punISh the president. According to the Constitution, legislators can't fine the chief executive, can't force him to put
a sign on the lawn des1gnatmg h1m as a sexual predator,
can't even force him to write "I won't force interns to
their knees" 500 times. The only body that can prescribe
any sort of sanctiOn 1s the Senate -- and then, only after
a trial
Furthermore, our histoncal expenence with censure
IS that it's emmenfly forgettable. Few people recall the
rebukes hurled at presidents Jackson, Tyler and
Buchanan, let alone the c~rcumstances that mspired

Eckersley retires from majors after 24 seasons
By KAREN RUSSO
BOSTON (AP)
Dennos
Eckersley, who appeared in more
major league games than any pitcher,
didn 't have the desire to stay in shape
when ttie baseball season ended.
What the 44-year-old pitcher didn't hear hos body telhng him became
clear this week when the Red Sox
rerused to offer him salary arbnration: It was tome to retire.
·
. After 24 years - ~nd 1,071
appearances- in the maJor leagues,
Eckersley said on Thursday that he
has thrown his last fastball.
"To be honesl with you, some·

body had to make the decosoon for me
because I wouldn't have done ot,"
Eckersley said. holding back tears.
" I would much rath..- have left like
I've done today than to leave in the
middle of the season or geuong
booed out of the ballpark. I didn't
want to taint mY career."
Eckersley, who regularly runs on
the offseason to keep in shape, saod

the thought of retirement started
. creepong into his mind after the playoffs.
"People started saying that I
could do it again, and I thought,
'Well, I guess,' but physically I did
not want to keep it gomg," he said.
"I just staned gearing·down. Usually
I just keep running, but all of the sudden I didn't want to run anymore.
That's what happens I guess, that's
what happened to me."
Eckersley's 24 seasons in the
majors were really two careers: 13
years as a starter and then, after a
baule with alcohol, a move to the
bullpen for II years as one of the
most dominatong relievers the game
has ever seen.
" It's hard to walk away," he said.
" It 's been a major part of my life
sonce I was 8 years old."
The Eck poled up awards and
memories: s,. All-Star appearances,
the AL Most Valuable Player and Cy
Young awards in 1992. theALcham-

pionship series MVP in 1988. He
pitched a no-hitter for Cleveland in
1977, sat in the dugout for the 1978
Yankees-Red Sox playoff, gave up
Kirk Gibson's famous World Series
home run in 1988 and closed games
f~ the three Bash Brothers pennant
wmners 1n Oakland.
"! guess the favorite memones
are some of the magic that happened
iQ Oakland," said Eckersley, who
was born and raised in the Bay area.
"We had some magic that lasted for
about five years."
The right-hander, who spent
seven years with the Red Sox before
moving on to the Chicago Cubs,
Oakland Athletics and St. Louis
Cardinals, returned to the Red Sox
last December intending to finish his
career in Boston.
He.. was a .20-game winner with
the Rlil Sox in 1978, the year of that
famous playoff game against the
Yankees.
"I told somebody that this

(retum) was like the coming-out
pany for me in '78," said Eckersley,
who resides in Sudbury. "You're
lucky to be in the big leagues, let
alone play where you live. I was
lucky to come back here."
Eckersley trails only Lee Smith
(478) and John Franco (397) on the
"areer saves list
The Eck. with his flowing hair
and droopy mustache, broke into the
major leagues on 1975 with the
Cleveland Indians, and pitched for
the Red Sox from 1978-84. He was
20-8 with a 2.99 ERA in '78. his best
year as a starter, but his production
diminished over the next six years.
After going 6-11 with the Cubs in
1986, Eckersley was traded to the
'Athletics, who turned him into , a
reliever and gave him a second
career.
"I'd be crazy saying I thought I'd
do this," Eckersley said. "Twelve
years ago. my whole life changed
when I went into the bullpen. I was

just trying to make it to the big
leagues, I know how fonunate I was.
You never think you're going to have
a 24-year career. Nobody's that
cocky."
Eckersley's career rebounded
after be quit drinking and joined an
Alcoholics Anonymous program in
January 1987. A year later, he had a
major-lca:gue leading 4S saves.
From 1988-1993, he averaged 43
saves per season. In 1990, he had 48
saves and a 0.63 ERA for one of the
A's three consecutive pennant winners he played on.
One memory Eckersley may want
to forget was when he gave up
Gobson's homer to lf)Se Game I of
the 1988 World Series. It was ~
Series Eckersley and the A's wound
up losing in five ~ames.
Despite a mediocre year with the
Red Sox - he went 4-1 with one
save and a 4.76 ERA in SO relief
appearances - Boston fans continued to cheer, and often gave standing

DENNIS ECKERSLEY
ovations to the. right hander.
"! had a good run," Eckersley
said. "I had somt magic that was
with me for a long time, so I know
that I was real lucky to not have my
arm fall off for one thong , and to
make it this long physically is tough
enough. But to me, it's like you're
bejng rescued too when your career's
over. It's like, 'Whew, the pressure's
off."'

WASHINGTON - Microsoft
could n01 have asked the question
better.
With a key government witne~&lt; on
the stand at its antitrust trial ,
Microsoft was challenging claims
that it illegally tried to "pollute"
Java, a computer programming language that threatens Microsoft's Window dominance.

proseculors say is their best evi-

Kevorkian remaiqs confident he

KevorKian for years, bul twice,

murder charges against the retired
pathologist have been thrown out.
He was tried three times on ch~es
of assisted suicide and was acquitted each time; a fourth ended in a
mistrial.
Kevorkian has admitted to some
role in about 130 assisted suicides
this decade.
Youk, 52, had suffered from
Lou Gehrig's disease for four
years. He was confined to a wheelchair, fed through a tube in his
stomach and had little movement
left in his anns and hands.
District Judge Phyllis McMillen
rejected defense arguments that
l&lt;;evorkian had just meant to ease
Youk's suffering, and that death
was just a side effect.

copters, the official Iraqi News .1\gency said, quoti.ng Gen. Hossam
Mohammed Amin. who runs the National Monitoring Directorate.
In a wc:ckly report to the Security Council .-.,leased Thursday in New York,
the chief U.N. weapons inspector. Riehard Butler. said Iraq not o.nly blocked
the search of the Baath Party offiCe but '!lso placed un~cepta~le cond1t1ons
on photographing bombs at a chemical weapons momtonng sote Saturday.
That same day, he said, Iraq tried to prevent videotaping and refused to
.
answer questions during a biological weapons inspection .
In another dispute that ended well Thursday, U.N. inspectors tried to search
what Iraqis called a private home. Amin said. 1l1e Iraqis insisted lhey first
· get permission from the home's owners.
.
Two women inspectors entered "amid surprised faces of the res1dents of
the house" and got approval, he said.
.
Almost 200 U.N. inspectors and other specialist• are worl&lt;i~g in Iraq. The
cunrent round of wor'l is scheduled to end Monday, U.N. offictals have sa1d.

ProsecUtors have been chasing

from a party office in Baghdad that they tried to onspect the preVIOUS day.
If they return to the building, " they won't enter." a party leader, Latif
Nsayyif Jassim. told reporters.
The U.N. inspectors in•i&lt;t they have the right under U.N. resolutions to
examine any site without conditions. Neither the Iraqis nor U.N. inspectors
have indicated that any teams have tried to return to the Baath Party office
since Wednesday 's standoff.
1l1e inspectors resumed their wor'l last month after a nearly three-month
hiatus when Iraq banned them from visiting any new suspected weapons sites.
IT1lq backed down and pledged tun cooperation as the United States and
Britain were preparing to launch military strikes against it on Nov. 14.
At. least three inspection teams in white, four-wheel drive vehicles with

In its antitrust lawsuit. the Justice
Department contends that Microsoft
illegally tried to alter Java because it
considered it a threat to Windows.
Soflware written using Java can run
on a variety of computers, minimizing the Importance ·of Windows,
which is installed on more than 90
percent of the nation's persOnal computers.
Sun Vice President James Gosling
told the judge that Microsoft may
have viewed il'i versioil of lava a~
better than Sun's, but " their version
of better is tied to the Windows platform .. and fail s to work on other sy~:
lems.

During· cros s-examinati~n Thursday. Microsoft confronted Gosling
with a string of e-mails suggesting
that Sun knew about Microsoft's
plan to develop a Windows-based set
of te~hnical tools' for Java ru; far as
two months before the two companies signed a licensing agreement
over Java.
The documents also suggest that

Microsoft offered to work with Sun
on ways to make its version of Java
interact with Windows better.
But Gosling said his company was
skeptical about any offer by
Microsoft to cooperate.
"'Our view was that when
Microsoft was often holding out their
hand, there was a knife in their hand,
and they were expecting us to grab
the blade." he said.
Other companies wanting to use .
or make changes in Java would first
discuss their proposals with Sun and
other software developers in a consensus-building strategy, Gosling
said.
Microsoft made it&lt; alterations to .
Java quicker than Sun had expe~ted.
"I don't think we presumed this
would cause us to send a nasty-gram
from a lawyer," Gosling said, adding
later, "We really, really wanted to
coo~rate with Microsoft. "
The contract dispute also is the
focus of a lawsuit between the two
companies. Last month, a federal
judge in San Jose, Calif., issued a preliminary injunction against Microsoft

In almost all cases, applications for
demolition have come from the owners,
explained Don McDade, GalliJl9lis' code'
enforccmenLofftcer1 although !wo structures were tom down at the city's direction.
·
Those instances, involving two separate structures on Mill Creek Road,
stemmed from the city's determination
they were unsafe and posed a public
lu:allh hazard.
· "Mill Creek was was the first thing I
did when I took this job," said MCDade,
who was employed £or the position last
summer. "I had seen a lot of letters £rom
people complaining, and so had the city
manager and the city commission, who·
felt that the houses presented an unsafe
situation." ·
Overall, 16 applications for demolition
have been filed with McDade's offioe this
year, compared to four last year. To date, _
14 of the structures have been taken down.
One of them, the former NAPA Auto Parts

taken no action on that proposal.
