Mexicans miss their favorite food
MEXICO CITY Millions of Mexico City residents found it hard to live on bread alone yesterday, the second day thousands of tortilla factories refused to produce the country's basic dietary staple.
"Well, what can we do but eat bread, even though it is not nearly as tasty," shrugged one office worker bemoaning the tortilla shortage.
The tortilla factories, charging government price controls were forcing them into bankruptcy, shut down operations Monday to force authorities to review their policy.
But Mexicans, it seemed, were resigned to the tortilla shortage Housewives substituted bread, rice and even potato chips for tortillas.

Hart proposes math and science bill
WASHINGTON - Sen. Gary Hart, D-Colorado, reintroduced a bill yesterday that would help boost U.S. math and science education for an annual cost of less than a nuclear aircraft carrier.
Hart, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, said that the bill did not get a big hearing in Congress last year, but that he expected it to get a more favorable reception this year.
Hart said that while the bill would cost up to $2 billion a year, it would be less than the $2.6 billion needed for a new nuclear aircraft carrier.
The brain motion would provide incentives and resources for local schools to improve programs in math and science, as well as communications, foreign languages, high technology and computer literacy.

Diplomatic sources said the three Libyan hijackers told Maltese Prime Minister Dom Mintefi they wanted U.S. Ambassador to Malta James M. Rentchler to take part in negotiations.

King Haussan would not take the Boeing 737 out of Maltese officials said the hijackers apparently just wanted to flee Libya. The jet was hijacked Sunday on a flight from Sedha to Tripoli, Libya.
