FOND DU LAC, Wis. — Florence Zeese drove two hours yesterday to spend her Christmas savings on the "Miracle Mile," buying chances for a $100 million lottery jackpot on a street with a reputation for selling winning tickets.
"I'm not going out to buy diamonds and yachts and spend money foolishly," said 72-year-old Zeese, buying 150 of the $1 tickets for yesterday's Powerball drawing. She said she would "live more comfortably" and help her relatives.
The jackpot was the second largest for the 21/2-year-old, multistate Powerball game.
The Powerball record. a $111 million jackpot, was won in 1993 by a Wisconsin teacher who bought his lucky ticket at the Sentry Food Store in Fond du Lac.
That was one of four multimillion-dollar lottery tickets sold since 1900 in four stores along one mile of Fond du Lac's Main Street — thus the nickname "Miracle Mile."
"Ticket sales are brisk," said Phil Moses, manager of Ma & Pa's Grocery Express, which was crowded with buyers. "We're printing them out in advance to keep up with the lines."
Sentry Food installed an extra ticket machine to keep up with the demand and reported selling 30,000 tickets between 7 a.m. and noon yesterday.
Zeese and her husband, who are from the town of Elroy, spread their ticket-buying among all four "Miracle Mile" stores, finishing up at Sentry.
Bob Zeese plunked down the last $60 of his wife's Christmas money at Sentry and tolk he! "There you are, sweetheart. Merry Christmas."
Tickets for the Powerball game are sold in Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.
Players pick five numbers from a field of 45, plus a Powerball number from another field of 45. Odds of
winning the jackpot are one in nearly 55 million.
The numbers drawn yesterday night were: 5,13,24,29 and 31. The Powerball number is 40.
"Like, goodbye Delaware, I would pack up and leave," Jackson said.
In Dover, Del, retire Isaiah Jackson bought a ticket at Dover Newsstand. For him, winning the big prize would mean moving plans.
A ticket buyer in Portland, Ore., said the jackpot would provide enough for his family's needs and many others', too. "I'd retire my father instantly, invest it... take care of the kids and donate a lot of it," Dale Fortune said.
Rap musician Tupac Shakur shot and robbed
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Rap star Tupac Shakur, whose gangsta rap lyrics echo his own violent way of life, was shot five times in a robbery yesterday, a day after a jury began deliberating sexual assault charges against him.
He was listed in serious but stable condition at Bellevue Hospital with gunshot wounds to the hand, head and groin. After undergoing surgery, Shakur checked himself out of the hospital against medical advice, said hospital representative Larry Dugan.
Dugan said that Shakur was in satisfactory condition when he left early yesterday evening. He had no more
information about Shakur's medical condition.
The sequestered jurors at his trial were unaware that the 23-year-old musician and actor and his manager had been wounded and robbed of $45,000 in jewelry shortly after midnight in the lobby of a recording studio.
Police said that the gunmen apparently didn't know the identity of the victims. But Shakur told police that he believed the assailants knew him and were after him, said a police source who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Shakur and another man, 24-year-old Charles Fuller, are on trial on charges of sodomizing and sexually
abusing a woman in their New York City hotel room last year.
Neither was in court yesterday, and Judge Daniel Fitzgerald told the jury that circumstances beyond their control were responsible.
"Please don't hold it against them in any way," Fitzgerald said. The jury retired for the night yesterday without reaching a verdict.
Shakur, who has the words "Thug Life" tattooed on his torso, has faced criminal charges five other times since March 1993.
In 1992, then-Vice President Dan Quayle urged record chains to remove his album "2Pacalypse Now" because of lyrics condoning violence against police.
Poll said Shakur had lost a large diamond ring and an assortment of gold chains in the holdup at Quad Recording Studios.
According to police, Shakur and his three-man entourage were followed by two robbers into the building, where a third robber was waiting.
Shakur was shot when he refused the gunmen's order to get on the floor and lunged for one of their guns, police said.
Shakur's manager, 24-year-old Freddie Moore, was shot in the abdomen and chased the gunmen into the street before collapsing, police said. He was listed in stable condition.
Humans will test oral AIDS vaccine
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Researchers at San Francisco General Hospital enrolled patients this week for the first human test of an oral AIDS vaccine.
An oral vaccine is easier to administer than injected vaccines and stimulates the body to fight the HIV infection at its first line of defense, the fluids of the membranes that line the digestive and respiratory systems, James Kahn said.
Earlier this month, Kahn reported that his study of 24 people found the injected version to be safe. In most of the patients, it triggered the immune system to fight the virus.
Antibodies from about 80 percent of the patients successfully fought the virus in test-tube studies, Kahn said.
It was unclear how many patients would enroll in the new study at the hospital, run by the University of California at San Francisco. The vaccine is the oral version an injected drug made by United Biomedical Inc. in New York.
Kahn plans to evaluate the safety of the oral vaccine and measure whether it can cause the body to produce infection-fighting antibodies in sperm, vaginal fluid and saliva.
The vaccine stimulates an immune response by mimicking part of the envelope protein of the virus. An oral version was difficult to make because it had to survive the digestive system, Kahn said.
The new study will compare the oral vaccine to the oral vaccine followed by a booster shot and also to

Guinea pigs get a tan with pseudo DNA
-Abbey Road Oct.
SOURCE: "The Beatles Forever," news reports,
"The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Rock," research by BRENNA SINK
NEW YORK—Guinea pigs got a tan without sunlight after their shaved skin was smeared with a substance mimicking bits of DNA. Such an approach might eventually work for people, researchers say.
Guinea pigs were treated twice a day for five days, and the tan started showing up about 10 days to two weeks after treatment began, said researcher Barbara Gilchrist. The tan lasts at least two months and in some cases longer, she said.
Like sunlight, the treatment made the skin produce higher amounts of a pigment called melanin that creates a tan.

The finding also suggests how sunlight causes a tan, which has been a mystery.
Products that use dye to make skin look tan are already sold commercially. But the new approach would presumably give each user the hue he or she would normally get from sunbathing, rather than the color that comes out of a bottle, Gilchrist said.
New release contains early Fab Four
The Associated Press
LONDON — Beatlemania returned to Britain as hundreds of people lined up yesterday to be among the first to buy the Fab Four's new album.
The Associated Press
The album "Live at the BBC" consists of tracks recorded in Liverpool and Hamburg, Germany, in the days before the Beatles delighted teens and bewildered parents.
would have to be a real Beatles nut to really get into it," said Mark Macpherson, assistant manager of Tower Records in central London.
"There were people from all over the world, of all different ages. It's an interesting album, but you
He estimated that they sold 250 copies during the 11/2-hour launch that began at midnight, he said.
The recordings were found in the BBC archives in 1081 by radio producer Kevin Howlett, who echoed the onetime pandemonium the Beatles could induce by comparing the discovery to "finding Tutankhamen's tomb."
Gingrich tries hand at writing fiction
NEW YORK — There are no tax cuts, just plenty of sex in Rep. Newt Gingrich's forthcoming novel, "1945."
The Associated Press
"Suddenly the pouting sex kitten gave way to Diana the Huntress," Gingrich writes in a draft of the World War II thriller excerpted in The New York Times Sunday magazine. "She rolled onto him and somehow was sitting athwart his chest, her knees pinning his shoulders. 'Tell me or I will make you do terrible things,' she hissed."
Moments later, the White House chief of staff succumbs to the German spy's spell, telling her. "We're making this new kind of bomb."
Gingrich's best-known written work to date is his Republican manifesto, "Contract With America," but he did try his hand at a novel once before, in 1977. But the next speaker of the House said the literary agent who looked at it told him, "It is clear that you shake hands better than you write fiction."

A Cryogun. You set it on stun and zap Klingons?
No. A Cryogun is used at the Wart Clinic to zap warts. The Cryogun sprays liquid nitrogen which freezes the wart and causes it to come off within 1-3 weeks. Routinely there is minimal discomfort and usually repeat treatments are not necessary. Warts are caused by a virus which can spread to other people and to other parts of your body -- so treatment is appropriate.
Come to the Wart Clinic on Wednesdays or Thursdays, 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. There is no charge for full-fee paying students and you don't need an appointment. See a Watkins physician if you have any questions.
