Even Clinton can't stop strike
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Not even the prodding, poking and pushing of President Bill Clinton, it seems, can produce peace in baseball.
Ordered by Clinton back to the bargaining table for one more try at setting the often-hostile strike, all that players and owners could do Sunday was bicker.
So yesterday, on the 100th anniversary of Babe Ruth's birth and only 10 days before the scheduled start of spring training, mediator W.J. Usery presented terms of a settlement to Clinton at 5 p.m. EST. No joint talks were planned.
"At this point, it's not clear we should be hopeful," for a settlement, White House representative Mike McCurry said yesterday. "We're keeping the players and owners guessing because frankly, that may provide inducement for them to settle."
Asked if owners and players were daring Clinton to make a move, McCurry said: "We may have to 'fire one in' there for them."
Usery's terms could be used as the
basis for special legislation Congress could pass to impose an agreement and get baseball back on the field — without replacement players.
The president had set yesterday as a deadline for either significant progress or a settlement. But with neither in sight, Clinton asked Usery to propose a solution.
"We can't continue to move in inches when we need to move in yards," Usery said.
More precisely, the sides budged just a few thousand dollars during last week's talks and remained $2 billion apart in the seven-year span of the owners' proposed deal.
Clinton, who presented his $1.61 trillion budget to Congress yesterday, still made time to meet with Usery and Labor Secretary Robert Reich for 45 minutes Sunday in the Oval Office. Told that owners and players were still far apart, the president refused to take no for answer. Instead, he sent Usery back to the Mayflower Hotel to try to get an agreement.
"I have never before been given any stronger request to do my utmost to get a voluntary settlement," Usery
said.
Usery, though, couldn't persuade the sides to even talk together.
Rather, about an hour after the union ended its 45-day signing freeze, owners responded by prohibiting teams from signing players to contracts. It was the kind of back-and-forth barking that has marked the 25-month-long talks.
Or, put another way, union head Donald Fehr said last week that he would soon know if the union and owners were within shouting distance on the major issues; as it turned out, the sides merely wound up shouting.
The strike started Aug. 12 and led to the cancellation of the World Series for the first time since 1904. The walkout, baseball's eighth work stoppage since 1972, threats to wreck this season, too.
Teams have been signing strikebreakers and have planned to start the season even if the regular major leaguers do not return. The Clinton administration is opposed to the use of replacement players.
Exhibition games begin March 1.
The regular season starts April 2.
Testimony resumes against Simpson
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — O.J. Simpson had a "spooky ... frightening" look in his eye during a dance recital for his daughter hours before Nicole Brown Simpson was stabbed to death. He sat by himself in the back of the auditorium, staring at his ex-wife, Ms. Simpson's sister testified yesterday.
Denise Brown recalled that the June 12 recital was followed by dinner, after which she and her younger sister kissed goodbye for the evening.
"The last thing I told her is that I loved her," Brown said, weeping uncontrollably.
Defense attorneys challenging her testimony showed the jury a home video in which a laughing Simpson scoops up his son and kisses his family that evening after the recital. The tape was taken by another parent.
As Judge Lance Ito previewed the tape with the jury out of the room, Simpson rocked back in his chair and gestured toward his face as if to point out that he looked neither glazed nor
Prosecutor Christopher Darden objected to showing the tape but said it doesn't contradict Brown's testimony. In fact, Darden said, Simpson seemed tense and "his smile seems forced."
spooky, as his former sister-in-law claimed.
Brown, who broke into tears almost from the moment she began testifying, gave an anguished account of her last moments with her sister, their fond farewell and her claim that Simpson behaved strangely at the recital, in which his daughter Sydney, then 8, participated.
"He had a very bizarre look in his eyes; it was a very faraway look," Brown said. "It was actually really kind of spooky. It was a frightening look."
As she spoke, Simpson shook his head and smiled in disbelief.
Brown continued to describe his look that evening as "glazed-over, kind of frightening, dark eyes. It just didn't look like the O.J. we knew."
In the school recital hall, she said,
Simpson did not acknowledge his ex-
wife but greeted other family members. He took a chair and sat in a corner apart from the others.
"Every time I turned around he was staring at Nicole." Brown said.
Brown, 37, has publicly declared her belief that Simpson killed her sister and Ronald Goldman hours after the recital.
Brown said that after the recital, the family, without Simpson, had gone to dinner at Mezzaluna, the restaurant where Goldman was a waiter. After dinner, she said, "We got up, and we walked out, and Nicole was going to go get some ice cream with the kids."
Then defense attorney Robert Shapiro began his effort to show jurors that Brown had changed history in her mind after the murders and was exaggerating the problems of Simpson and her sister.
Brown wept harder as she said of her sister: "She was happy."
U.S., China in trade battle, tensions soar
Last week, Brown told jurors that an enraged Simpson hurled his wife against a wall and tossed her and her friends out of his house when Brown accused him of taking her sister Nicole for granted.
She also described a scene at a restaurant-bar where she said the former football star grabbed his wife's crotch and said, "This belongs to me."
The Associated Press
BELIING—China's growth into a major exporting power raised the likelihood that chronic friction with the United States would culminate in U.S. plans for trade sanctions.
"This was bound to happen," said Masatake Takahashi, a Tokyo-based expert on international trade policy. "It was the same process with Japan and Taiwan. Now China."
China's trade surplus with the United States soared to nearly $30 billion last year, second only to Japan's $50 billion. Only two years earlier China's surplus was $19 billion.
China is one of many Asian nations that the United States has accused of falling to adequately protect intellectual property rights. Pirated CDs, videos, computer software and watches are sold in markets throughout Asia.
Exasperated by China's failure to crack down on intellectual property theft, on Saturday the United States announced 100 percent tariffs on $1.8 billion worth of Chinese products.
Complaining that its national dignity had been violated, China struck back with 100 percent tariffs in a variety of U.S. products, including video games, compact discs, cigarettes and alcohol.
The U.S. trade battle with China sounds a lot like its feud with Japan. But this time, the sources of tension are much broader.
China extended an invitation to resume trade talks in a letter received in Washington on Sunday night, U.S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor said yesterday. He said that U.S. negotiators would head to Beijing on Monday to resume talks.
The signs are that neither side,however,wants the situation to deteriorate further.
The sanctions would focus on products unlikely to have massive economic impact in terms of overall trade or employment. And since they are not due to take effect until Feb. 26, there still is time for a face-saving truce.
"I don't know how China could have responded more quickly," Kantor said.
Although officials on both sides have kept the volume of rhetoric and recriminations low key, the standoff on copyright protection comes at an awkward time for Sino-U.S. ties.
Washington has pushed Beijing much harder than its neighbors on the issue, notes China specialist William H. Overhold in his 1994 book, "The Rise of China," perhaps because of the vastness of the potential Chinese market for American movies, music and other products.
The talks broke off without an agreement on Jan. 28.
