R1kcr smd part of Dole's campa1gn 1mage stemmed from h1s competiflve nature and also from the fact that " 1f he thought something was over ' J the hnc, or 1f he thought somethmg was unfa11. whether it was coming from · -., Republ1 can s or Democrats, he was gomg to stand up and tell it like 1t 1s." Bu1 I hiS 1s an age of "spm and moderauon where everybody 1s mce. That's JUS t not leallty,':,.R1ker sa1d. . ,. The b1ggest surpnse of Dole's pres1denual campa1gn was his decision to • . ·• ' name former Rep. Jack Kemp of New York as hiS runn10g mate. It was a stran ~c pamng, g1 vcn that everyone close to Congress knew that Dole and ' Kemp never J!Ot along very well Onc llemical weapons, they once agam · were on opposmg s1des. w1th Kemp urging rejecuon of the treaty . Another surpn se came more recently when Dole lent $300,000 to House Speaker Newt Gmgnch to enable the GeorgJa Republican to pay the fme 1m posed by the House for ethiCS violations. ' ' McCa m was a leader of the forces backin~ the Chemical Weapons Con· vent1on agamst the nppos1t1on of conservatives led by Sen. Jesse Helms, R· N C .. .:hmrman of the Fore~gn Relations Comm1ttee.

To 1nany. Dole's endorsement looked hke a reversal ofh1s 1996 campa1gn pos 1t1on when he $COt a letter to Senate MaJorny Leader Trent Loll, R-M1ss .. ra1sing several concern s The letter was a major factor m ha•mg the treaty Withdrawn from consideration last September The GOP nommee questioned whether U.S . mtelllgence could detect VIolations. whetlier the treaty _would truly result 10 elimination of chemical weapons and whether 11 would apply to so-called rogue nations. - Appeanng at the Whue House last week to endorse the treaty, Dole sa1d, "l.beltcve there are now adequate safeguards to protectAmencan mterests." Cond1t10ns were auached to the resoluuon ol rat1ficat10n that satJSiied Dole's concerns, although they fell far short of convmcmg the 26 senators . , , - all Republicans- who voted agamstll. . .

Both sexes have seen a drop in homicide rates, but the drop for men is sharper. More sranling, the number of dpmestfc vi()lence homicides has actually risen slightly. The study also found dramatic differences m the way men and vyomen are murdered. Men are almost always killed by gunfire-- 85 percent of the t1me, according to the study -- while femille victims are killed by guns less than half of the time. "We were sur· prised by the degree to wh1ch some of these murders (of women) just spoke of enormous rage," Dr. Susan Wilt, d~rector of epidemiology and surveillance for the New York City Department of Health, told ' the New York Times. "Some women were stabbed and also strangled. Some women were beaten, and they WJ.IaT .a . DiSaSTeR! weren't dead yet, 10 they were thrown out of the window." The rage with which women .are killed stems from the fact !hal their killers are most likely to be their hus· bands or boyfnends. Which. Dr. Wilt speculates, also explains the dispari. ty between male t~~~d female homicides. "Female homicides, and domestic homicides in particular, aren't affected by police policies and commumty wlicies," she said on National Public Radio. "You can't put a police officer on every block or in every home where there has been violence or there is concern !hal there will be vwlence." But there are things that we can do. Dr. Wilt advises a cooperative program between police deptutments, courts, social services·and health services. Such a program is already in effect in Nashville, Tenn., where the police department's domestic violence division is considered one of the most comprehensive in the country. In thai city, convicted batterers are required to attend 26- or 52-week counseling sessions, and shelters are available for victims. The police also make good use of available technol· ogy, documenting injuries with videotape and g1 ving cellular phones to stalking victims. And. perhaps most Important, city employees -from pohce officers to judges -- are made aware of how much danger women put themselves in when they report domestic abuse. The results have been impressive. Smce the program was launched, the domestic homic1de rate has dropped from 25 in 1993 to 12 in 1995. Though programs like Nashville's are still in the early stages, officials in other Cities should take notice. .After all, there's no excuse for succumbmg to despair. Now that so many cities have successfully deterred crime in the streets, it's time to devote equal energy to preventing crime m the home.

Tiger Woods wants it known he is a _racial gumbo By DeWAYNE WICKHAM • Gannett News Service WASHINGTON When It comes to race, T1ger Woods wants to be called a "Cabllnasmn. " The word - he made 11 up denvcs from the fact that Woods has black, whne. Thai, Chinese and Amen ca n Indian blood coursmg through hJS vems. To th~ eye, the Masters champion looks like JUst another of th1s country 's 29 m11lion black people. But he chafes at being called an Afncan-Amer•·can. Woods considers h1mself an eth· me and racial gumbo and wants to be recognjzed as such. When the 21-year•old go! ling phe· nomenon won the sport's most pres· t1g1ous event earlier this month, some commentators gave hiOLJlt least a porti011 of the duality he seeks by identifying him as both the first "African-American andAsian-Amer· ican '' to w1n the Masters. . ~ts startlingly easy victory and his ms1stence on an ID that encompasses the totality of his gene pool has g1ven a boost to those urging the CensusBureautochangethewayitmeasures race and ethnicity. Currently, the agency charged with keepina count of Americans lits people into one of live categones: black, white, Asian/Pacific Islander, Amencan Indian/Native Alaskan, and other. Critics of these choices wants to add a "multicultural" category. But the truth of the matter is that we already have at least one census designtllion that covers that around, · becaUJe to be black m America is to be multicultural.

And there is also some American Indian blood in my veins. So what docs this make me? An African-Amencan. There was a lime in this country when a person's race was determined by law. Many states labeled someone black if an African-American showed up anywhere in h1s or her family tree gomg back sev~ral generatiOns. Now most people rely on stght, not genealogy to determine a person's race or etllnicity. An inexact science at best, but one that has currency. That Woods is the product of an interracial marriage 1s far !ess impor· tant to most people than how he lool8. Take away his golf clubs and Nike apparel and deposit him on a downtown street in Louisville, Ky., or Greenville, S.C , and nobody is going to call Woods an Asian-American . Certainly not Fuzzy Zoeller. Regardless of what you think of Zoeller'sjoke about the menu Woods might order for next year's Masters dmner, it's clear from hiS reference to "fried chicken" and "collard greens" that Zoeller sees Woods as an African-Amencan, not a person of Chinese or Am~rican Jnd1an descent Just, as clear 1s how those who took offense v1ew the young golfer People called Zoeller's remark racial· ly msensiuvc. Why? Because his joke h h was t aug t to have disparaged the d1etary habits of African-Amencans. • "You can · b 1 hide," Joe Loul~u~ed ~ tJf~ s ~":x~ mg opponents.

' But Fujisaki saidjllrors who found SimJ)son responsible for the deaths of Ms. Simpson and her friend arrived at a figure that "may be considered insufficient rather than excessive." "It would be unconscionable to let the defendant profit from his wrongdoing," the judge said. Laurie Levenson, associate dean of Loyola Law S~hool , satd Fujisaki wanted to ensure that Simpson would not profit from the deaths. "This was Fujisaki's swan song and I trunk there was a message he wanted to send to Mr. S,impson that no amount of money could be excessive whim you talk about taking innocent lives," she said.

"This is a man who belongs in jail sitting on death row," he said. "The judge recognized there is no amount of money that can equal the violent murders he committed." Fujisaki also rejected defense claims that he had made erroneous · rulings that prevented Simpson from receiving a fair trial. Leonard called the proceeding a formality and only one step in the appeal process.

Automakers, feds still split over airbag deaths By NOELLE KNOX The Detroit News WASHINGTON U.S. au tom akers this week are expected to 1ssue a sharp critique of the governmcnt's revised estimates on the proJ CC tc~ death toll from the new, slowcr-mllating m r bags that will be in most new cars and trucks this fall . At stake may be more than 260 hvcs a year - that's the difference between the fatality forecasts by the government, on the high end, and the auto industry on the low end. The less aggressivc air bags are expected to kill fewer children and short women, but mtght not be strong enough to save some large adults who don't wear sea\ belts. Thc Nauonal Htghway Traffic Safety Admmistration - NHTSAfears that tradeoff ts too big and wants the weaker air bags phased out by September 200 I. Automakers say the trade-off is tiny and don't want NHTSA to rcqutre the a~r bags to be replaced with expenSIVe and stillunproved ", mart bag" technology. . Smart bags would have sensors that would prevent the bag from deploy10~ or dtctate how fast the device would dcpl<1y tf 11 senses a low wc1 gh1 m the scat. Both stdcs h<tvc changed their esti- mates dramati~ally and still say the other is wrong. They will make their case before the Senate Commerce Committee Tuesday.

It also exposes the uncertatnty over how effecuve the socalled "depowered" bags will be. "TII~ri: are probably more assumptions in this depowering analysis than there were in our original '84 analysi ~" of the early ;~ir bags, one NHTSA analyst said. "This analysis is based on a few crash tests on depowered air bags, compared to a baseline {current) air bag." Iii December, NH'P,lA proposed letting automakers reduce the speed of bags by 20-35 percent. The move was designed to take the sometimesdeadly punch out of air bags, 'which then were cKpected to kill 123 childrcn a year. · The new. less forceful bags, the agency pJ:(dlcted, would save 83 of the children, but would not be strong enough to save an estimated 986 drivers and adult passengers . The auto industry wrote a harsh criucism of that estimate and claimed that only 47 drivers and adult pa~­ sengers would be lost. NHTSA retorted, "{The automakcrs) did a gross e~timate. They took as many assu~ptions as possible to get their numbers down ." But by March, everyone's numbers had changed. The government's numbers came down, and the auto industry's numbers carne up. Still, they remain more than 260 lives apart. "We both have very precise numbers because tlle math makes them prec1se, but the elements of the equation aren't accurate c~ough, " Wilber said. NHTSA raised projected child fatalities from current air bags to 140 and said the slower-inflating bags, wh1ch w1ll be installed in almost all new cars and trucks this fall , would save only 47 of them. On the other hand, the NHTSA cut hs projection of adult fatalities by more than half to 431. Meanwhile, the auto industry tried using some of NHTS~s assumptions and was forced to quadruple, to 200, the number of drivers and adult pas- sengers who might not be saved by the softer bags. The power of~ags comes from the inflator, which.ty~ally contains eight to 12 bean-size pcHe.ts of sodi· urn azide . When the car abruptly 'decelerates during impact, an electronic sensor sends a signal to ignite the pellets, which bum instantly.

"What depowermg is aimed at 1s increasing the survival space within a car," Wilber said. " Right now, if a child is within 12 inches of the dashboard . he or she could be seriously mjurcd." . Automakers arc trying to reduce the force so that a child who is 4 inch· cs from the dashboard could survive. The slower-inflating bags have fewer sodium azide pellets to produce less gas and deploy less aggressively. Congress again tackles flag desecration issue . By CARL WEISER Gannett News Service , . WASHINGTON - Con gress t>cg ins hearings Wednesday on a consmuunnal amendment aimed at hunnirig llag desecration - again. The amendment reads: "Congress shall have the power to pmh1hit the physical dcsccrat"'n nl the llag ol the United States " In 1990 and agam in 19\15, Congress fa iled to pass stmilar amend· mcnts. This latest version ts again expected to pass the House. hut even' backers com;edc it faces ovcrwhelmmg <xlds in the Senate. "This is al!nut putting in!Cl law the standards and values of the people of this country," said Dan Wheeler, · executive director of the American Legion and president of the Citizens' 'Flag Alliance, which is lelldina the push for the amendment. "This is about getting a freedom back that the Supreme Coun took away ih 1989." The alliance, a coalition of about I00 groups. is bringing medal-ofhonor winners, American Legion officials, even a Sth-grade class from Branchville, N.J., to lobby senators this week. The House constitution subcommittee will hold a hearing on the amendment Wednesday. The Supreme Court ruled in 1989 that llag burning was free speech and thus protected by the Conatillltion '• fint aiiiCIIdmem. The only way to · override that decision is to chanae the • Constitution. Critics say it's not wotth it. "We have a heck of a good Bill of Ri,hts that protects our ability to express our opinions, whether popular or not." said Carole Shields, president of the People for the Amer,ican Way Action Fund. which is fighting the ·amendment. "The flag is a precious, precious symhol.llut it's a symbol of our frce<Jom. So why do anything to limit our freedom?" she said . "Amending the C011stitution is a bi~ deal. This is not a major national problem ... •There arc only a handful of llag burnings or desccrnt•ons every year: Some flag-burnings are part nf antigovernment rallies, some arc done in the name of art, some are vandalism.

' .. I The amendment is really an attempt at censorship. Paulson satd. Some in Congress find flag burning so reprehensible "they' re willing to tamper with the Bill of Rights for the first time in two centuries to make sure 1hat this form of free ~ pccch is stamped out," he said. Tlic amendment ilself wouldn 't make llag burning illegal. That would still require an act of Congress. Constitutional amendments require approval by two-thirds of !hose voting in the House, two-thirds ot:. those voting in the. fu:nate, and three-quarters (38) of the states. The 1995 vote fell three votes short in the Senate. After the vote, sponsor Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Ulah, promised, " We're going to keep bringing it·up until we pass it and protect the nation's symbol." Wheeler said 310 House members, far more than is needed, have committed to backing the amendment. In the Senate, ·however, the amendment is stuck at 64 votes; the remaining 36 Senators have all voted against it in the past or 11one on record opposing it, Wheeler said. " We are in the process of opening dialogue with them," Wheeler said of the 36. Middleport officers investigate two injury accidents during weekend .

",':'If you think you know the answer ' nr of there is an answer.you'd like to get. you can get that answer even ·:, without deliberately falsifying lhe ' data," Gove says. Although Gove is not easy on ' · some who endorse the shroud, his ._:·book has received praise from one of the best known " tnie believers" -~ ..- Ian Wilson, the author of several •books on the shroud ("Jesus: The - Ev idence." HarperCollins. $27.50: ·~ ':'fhe Mysterious Shroud," Double· : i!Iay. out of pri'nt) who converted to Roman Catholicism .after he did his ,,iiuitial research. , . ' Wil son calls Gove's chronicle of . the "Byzantine politics" of the dat·, ing of the shroud " absolutely excel~·· , . . lent" . But neilher the dating tests nor Gove 's hook have shaken Wilson's belief in the shroud. Gove failed in his quesl 10 personally date the shroud. But he V.:it· nessed a test on a piece of it in May 1988 in · the accelerator Jab at the University o f Arizona in Tucson, one of three church-approved labs, all of which reached the same conelusion on the shroud's age. He recalls waiting breathlessly for the results with D.J. Donahue, the director of the lab, a friend and a scientist Gove respects immensely. " AI the end of that one minute we knew the age of the Turin Shroud! "·Gove writes. "II had taken me 11 years for a measurement that took only 1o· minutes t<i · accomplish." · · " Irs not the true burial clolh of Christ," Donahue says. "Bul my religious faith never was based on the shroud.... I have pride in the result. If called upon, I would defend it. ... Many scientists, includ· iitg myself. have faith. Some see the hand of God in nature. I'm one of those ... Donahue's faith does not dislodge his confidence in science or the AMS technique of carbon dating. Brinkman's faith ·in the shroud, however, makes him .believe .in errors in ihe carbon dating test. Biological growth on the shroud's fibers could have produced a false result, he says. Brinkman looks forward to see-· ing the shroud for the first time next year in Turin. Gove acknowledges the problem of the' fiber growth. But even if it's ·, proved to interfere with the test, the growlh could not throw off 1he resuhs so much, he says. Gove does not believe lhe shroud is · a relic, nor does he think it is a hoax. "I believe it is an icon and maybe the most .important one in Christianity," he says. The image on the shroud and the way it was produced may remain a mystery forever, Gove says.
