Souter gains three more votes; assured of committee backing
Supreme Court nominee David Souter gained three more votes on the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, assuring his approval by the panel when it votes today.
The endorsements by Sens, Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, Herbert Kohl, D-Wis., and Patrick Leahy, D-Vl, brought to 10 the number on the 14-member panel publicly in favor of Outer Souter's nomination. None had come out against him by late last night.
40,000 U.S. troops will leave Europe beginning in October
Three liberal Democrats not on the committee, Sens. Bill Bradley, D-N.J.; Frank Lautenberg, D.N.J.; and Barbara Mikulski, D-Md. During their opposition to Souter, on his bday
The United States will begin withdrawing 40,000 troops from Europe next month and start closing down units in January. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said yesterday.
Cheney said his decision was made in consultation with the NATO allies and was in anticipation of a 23-nation Conventional Forces in Europe agreement being reached by year's end to reduce substantially troops and military equipment across Europe.
The unilateral pullout of troops from Europe is the largest by the United States since the mid-1960s, when the administration of President Gerald Ford restricted the U.S. commitment to Europe.
The decision, when not directly related to the buildup of U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf area, would give the Pentagon flexibility in fielding troops to relieve U.S. troops in the gulf region.

Senate votes approval of family planning bill
WASHINGTON - The Senate voted yesterday to require federally supported family planning clinics to notify parents of teen-age girls who seek abortions.
The Associated Press
The action came on an amendment to a bill renewing federal family planning assistance, which emerged as the latest battleground in the political war over abortion.
The bill was already under a veto threat, however, and the vote was one in a series of conflicting and confusing Senate actions that left the bill facing an uncertain future.
A vote to limit debate fell 10 short of the necessary 60 votes, diminishing prospects of any change.
The Senate approved by a large margin another amendment Tuesday evening that would remove Bush administration regulations prohibiting the mailing of abortions. But any information or counseling involving abortion
The result was a Senate bill that contained provisions pushed by both anti-abortion and pro-life groups.
In the House a similar version, extending the life of family planning services provided through Title 10 of the Public Health Service Act of 1970, was approved by the Energy and Commerce Commission to establish the General Senate provisions on abortion. The clinics offer family planning and health services to the poor.
The family planning act's authorization expired in 1985, but services have been financed by Congress each year since then through continuing resolutions, or catchall spending measures.
The Senate's vote Tuesday night to end the administration's prohibition on abortion counseling provided pro-choice advocates with a surprisingly large 62 vote majority.
Senator Minority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., an abortion opponent, voted with pro-choice advocacy in support of the amendment, producing an initial 63-35 vote. But more than an hour after the vote was taken, Dole asked that his recorded vote be changed to "no."
Dole, who arrived late for the vote, simply made a mistake, said his press secretary, Walt Riker.
Religious repression ends in U.S.S.R. with new law
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The Russian legislature formally ended decades of religious repression yesterday, passing a law on freedom of conscience at a time when students are flocking to churches in record numbers.

The story of the 54th, the first Black regiment from the North to fight in the Civil War, and its youthful white colonel, Robert Gould Shaw, unfolds in "Glory," Edward Zwick's critically acclaimed movie.
Zwick presents a powerful, moving tapestry of war's senselessness. The screenplay by Kevin Jarrie is partly based on the books "Lay This Laurel' and 'One Gala' have home to his parents." The movie, narrated by Matthew Broderick as Shaw, is largely seen through his eyes.

Much of "Glory" focuses on the basic training of a ragtag group of runaway slaves and freemen, who are asked to accept less pay than their slave owners, for basic supplies, including proper shoes and the coveted blue uniform.
"Glory" received only three Academy Awards and was denied the best picture prize. This is a pity. It was a superior movie and one that will haunt you long after seeing it.

the movie of the Canadian wilderness are beautiful. Hackman and Archer do a good job of drawing the audience into the situation as we wait to see whether Carol and Robert will reach safety.
The one major drawback of this movie, however, is the ending. It occurs so suddenly that we are lost in the world of flying bullets and chase scenes.
This movie, which had the potential of being a great action-adventure film, falls short, but it is still worth a look. It doesn't offer much. Kristine Curley, Special to the

The best chillers often involve ordinary situations with ordinary people. Our stomachs tend to knot more when we see people like us up there on the screen as victims of terror or horror.
An untidy script and had continuity reduce what could have been a heart-stopper to a mildly interesting melodrama
In John Schlesinger's "Pacific Heights," a young couple become landlords and find themselves at the whim of the tenant from hell. It is an uncomfortable journey, a psychotic journey, an elaborated agenda of a violent con artist.
Melanie Griffith, Matthew Modine and Michael Keaton star in this thriller.

"We've talked about extending Chorest to an invitation, inviting five or six chairs," he said. "But that wouldn't be till next year. It lets the kids hear all the chairs, which they couldn't otherwise get to do."
Third Chorfest to feature 10 ensembles

for the choirs to get on their feet and perform for each other."
Having 250 choir members singing in 10 different ensembles doesn't create any major logistical problems. Ralston said.
"We seat them in a certain way, and they come up one side of the hall," he said. "Then we say, 'Then, at the end, we circle all the way around the hall and sing the song.'"
