Proposition 187 prompts walkout in California cities
LOS ANGELES - Thousands of students walked out of Southern California classrooms yesterday in disgust over a ballot initiative that would bar illegal immigrants from public schools. About a dozen people were arrested when protests in Compton turned violent.
Forums, rallies and demonstrations opposing Proposition 187 were held from Los Angeles to San Diego, many involving Hispanic students who believe the anti-immigration measure on Tuesday's ballot is racist.
The Associated Press
The Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation's second-largest, estimated as many as 10,000 students walked out of 32 middle and high schools.
Youngsters pelled a city bus and police with rocks and bottles, and others smashed windows in a shopping center after briefly blockading a Vons supermarket.
Protesters said the supermarket chain contributed money to the campaign of Gov. Pete Wilson, who supports the measure. But Vons said the company gave money to the campaigns of both the Republican governor and his Democratic opponent, Kathleen Brown. Brown opposes the initiative.
About 130 police and sheriff's deputies dispersed the protesters. Eleven youngsters and an adult were arrested for investigation of failure to disperse, inciting a riot and vandalism.
THE NEWS in brief
Croats and Muslims headed toward clash
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Muslim-led government forces and their Bosnian-Croat allies advanced on a Serb-held town yesterday in a rare coordinated assault that could be a new phase in the war.
Bosnia radio reported that Bosnian-Serb lines near Kupres were in disarray and that thousands of Serb civilians had fled the town in anticipation of a pincer attack.
"The Croats are advancing from the south, the Muslims from the west. Hell could break loose when they meet in Kupres," said a Croat soldier at a checkpoint near Tomislavrad, south of Kupres.
Government troops made "significant gains" in heavy ground fighting overnight on the road between Kupres and Muslim-helm Bugojo to the east, said Paul Risley, a U.N. representative in Zagreb, Croatia.
DURUNKA, Egypt Fire,floodingkillshundreds
DURUNKA, Egypt
A river of fire ignited by the deraliment of a fuel train surged through a village in southern Egypt yesterday, razing houses and killing at least 167 people, many of them as they slept.
Deadly flooding in Assitu province raised the death toll to more than 200 and destroyed hundreds more homes, according to security sources. Deaths also were reported in neighboring Sohag province, but the number of victims was not immediately known.
"It was like winds of fire coming down the mountain," said Mohamed Abdel-Rahman, who escaped the flames with his wife and seven children. His house was destroyed.
The flooding stretched from the Sinai Peninsula into southern Egypt. Cairo newspapers said it was the worst flooding in 60 years. More rain was expected today.
In Durunka, 200 miles south of Cairo, firefighters were still trying to put out the flames in homes and at the depot 20 hours after the blaze started.
UNITED NATIONS New treaty may punish violence
Increasingly under fire, U.N. troops killed in the line of duty often get little justice from the countries they are trying to help.
UNITED NATIONS
The United Nations is drafting a treaty designed to change that by allowing countries to punish attacks on members of U.N. peacekeeping missions — even if it means arresting suspects on foreign soil.
Diplomats give the proposal a good chance of winning approval in the General Assembly this year, despite objections from some countries that it could violate national sovereignty.
The treaty would ask all nations to make it illegal to abduct or harm soldiers or civilian U.N. employees. Countries that sign on would agree to put suspects on trial or turn them over to the victim's home country.
The treaty was inspired by the ambush killing of 24 Pakistani peacekeepers in Somalia in June 1993. Three months later, 18 Americans and 300 Somali clan fighters died in a firefight in the same humanitarian mission to feed Somalia's starving.
Trade linked to species decline
The illegal trade in rare animals is worth an estimated $5 billion a year, second only to the world drug trade, a British-based environment protection group said Oct. 22.
The Environmental Investigation Agency said in a report that as a result, rhinos, tigers and Asian bears could all be extinct by the year 2000.
It blamed governments in North America, Asia and the 12-nation European Union for failing to enforce existing wildlife protection laws.
The group's warning came as delegates from 123 countries gathered in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
The report said the group used undercover investigations to reveal the dramatic decline in the numbers of many species.

Proteins may be linked to Alzheimer's
The new work may also explain why a gene recently linked to Alzheimer's promotes the disease.
NEW YORK — Two proteins that normally help the body may also promote Alzheimer's disease by encouraging the formation of tiny fibers that kill brain cells, research suggests.
If drugs that interfere with fiber formation can be developed, they might slow the progression of the disease.
The two proteins have been dubbed "pathological chaperones" because they bind to a normal substance
KEEPING THE PROMISE ON NOV. 8
These fibers can kill brain cells in the test tube, and in the brains of Alzheimer's patients they are found clumped together into amyloid plaques that are one hallmark of the disease, said researcher Huntington Potter. So the fibers may be responsible for the brain cell deaths that produce Alzheimer's, he said.
Some 4 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease.

15th Street Maintains Racial and Economic Balance
The boundary line for two high schools will be 15th Street. This boundary will achieve balance and diversity in both high schools.
51% of our minority student population live north of 15th Street; 49% live south.
46% of our students from low-income families live north of 15th Street; 54%live south.
The 15th Street boundary line was
recommended by a committee of parents representing every school in the district. It was adopted by the School Board on June 6,1994.
