Shuttle launch delayed again after fuel leaks found on ship
NASA scrubbed the launch of space shuttle Columbia yesterday after discovering a leak as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen were being pumped into the fuel tank.
The decision was made after unacceptably high concentrations of hydrogen were found in the shuttle's aft compartment, said space agency spokesperson Lisa Malone.
The launch crew immediately began trying to isolate the leak. No new launch date was set.
The shuttle's launch was scrubbed in May because of a hydrogen leak and again last week because of communication problems with one of the shuttle's instruments.
israeli wiretapping scandal rocks government and media
JERUSALEM — A scandal dubbed Israel's Watergate eclipse news of the Persian Gulf crisis here yesterday, featuring accusations of ties between Iran and Israel, the propriety of wretapping under Jewish law.
It rattled nerves in Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's narrow-based coalition Cabinet and renewed tension between Israel's two main communities — Sephardic Jews from Africa and the Middle East and Ashkanazim of European origin.
The scandal began last week with reports that five people were held on suspicion of hugging the telephone of investigative reporter Mordechai Gilat of the newspaper Yediot Ahronot.
A recorder was found on a motorcycle outside洁什's home, with wires running through his piston.
Koreas in meetings
SEOUAL, South Korea — South Korea today proposed that the two Korean officials recognize each other's governments, but the communist North was not likely to accept
The Associated Press
South Korean Prime Minister Kang Young-hoon initially made the offer yesterday at the first talks ever between prime ministers of the hostile nations, but the proposal was not acted upon.
Their final closed-door session started today with the seven official delegates of both sides sitting across from one another at a conference table in a hotel ballroom.
North Korea has steadfastly refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Seoul government, maintaining that such a policy would perpetuate the division of the peninsula, split in 1945.
South Korea thinks mutual recognition would be practical and would allow both nations to coexist until unification of the peninsula could be achieved.
Moreover, the South says the North has given tacit recognition by agreeing to hold the historic talks, the highest-level contact ever held between the nations.
South Korean spokesperson Kim Hyung ki said in a briefing that mutual recognition is "necessary
to ease mutual distrust and improve relations" between the countries.
He also said that 10 North Koreans, including Prime Minister Yon Hoyong Muk, would visit South Korean President Roh Tae-woo later today at the presidential mansion.
That meeting would mark the first time the leader of South Korea has received an official representative of the rival communist North Korea, since separate governments were formed in 1948.
During yesterday's meeting, about 1,000 radical students marched through Seoul, shouting anti U.S., anti-government slogans and hurling rocks and firebombs at riot police.
Riot police fired tear gas to block the students from marching off campus. Several students and police were injured, and at least five students were arrested.
During yesterday's meeting, North Korea demanded that South Korea release jailed dissidents and stop joint military exercises with the United States. The North also demanded that the United Nations enter into the United Nations separately, saying that to do so would perpetuate national division.

"Ghost" emerges as hit of summer
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — "Ghost," once considered a bad act, now appears outlived all of them to close as the summer's bigger smash and the season's biggest flop.
The spectral story love starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg took in $10 million over the holiday weekend, Exhibitor Relations Co. reported Tuesday.
The superhero flick "Darkman" took second place over the weekend with $7.9 million.
"Ghost" has made more money than any other film released this summer, grossing $125 million since it opened July 20.
Seven films had more lucrative opening weeks: "Total Recall," "The Shape of Water," "Tracy," "Back to the Future Part III" and "Another 4 HIHS." "Days of Yufei" had fewer.
But in the end, business for all seven films declined while
"Ghost" remained relatively steady.
Overall, this summer was the second biggest in Hollywood history, with North American moviemakers spending about $18 billion.
Box-office analyst A.D. Murphy of Daily Variety said Tuesday that the summer's grass represented a 25 percent last year, its record $4 billion.
Among the more surprising failures this season was "Days of Thunder," which scarcely broke the $80 million mark. Paramount bikes from the company's Cruise movie on the historical unpopularity of race-car movies.
Disappointing returns also were reported by the Gremilns 2. The New Batch, "Ghost Dad," "Quick Change," "My Blue Heaven," "Blue America," "Fire Birds," "The Air America," "Ford Fairlane," "Betsy's Wedding," "The Two Jakes," and "RoboCop 2."
