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.
JERUSALEM — A scandal dubbed Israel's Watergate eclipse news of the Persian Gulf crisis here yesterday, featuring accusations of a plot to tie up Iran's oil reserves the propriety of wristapping under Jewish law.
Israeli wiretapping scandal rocks government and media
It rattled nerves in Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's narrow-based cabinet 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 bugging the telephone of investigative reporter Mordechai Glat of the newspaper Yediot Ahronot.
A recorder was found on a motorcycle outside that's home, with wires running through his phone.
Koreas in meetings
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea today proposed that the two Koreas officially 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 steadily 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 Hyong 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 Korean state, since separate governments were formed in 1948.
University Daily Kansan / Thursday, September 6, 1990
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 to enter the United Nations separately, saying that to do so would perpetuate national division.

Silver-screen DJ is not Top-40 fare
ON STAGE
"Pump up the Volume," the latest misunderstood-youth jifck, stars Christian Slater as Mark, a painfully saddened copt and sexually teenager.
Every night, however, via a short wave radio, Mark becomes Hard Harry, a superstert disce jockey who spits out biting social commentary and spins albums too hot for Top-40 mark. Hard Harry becomes a culprit here (or maybe the country, outraging the school board, PTA and federal government).
SEPT. 8—BADFINGER
SEPT. 11—BLACK UHURU
SEPT. 13—F&M EXPLOSION
What could have been a nifty satire too often is bogged down by sophomore bathroom humor. Slater lends raw energy to the film, which almost, but not quite, makes up for the weak and predictable script.

David Lynch film uses wild imagery
The latest installment in director David Lynch's library of the sublimine and the surreal, "Wild at Heart," is a rollercoaster video of bizarre images and artistically grotesque scenes, meant for only the strong at heart.
Adapted from Barry Gifford's novel, Nicolas Cage plays a snake-jacketed Elvis wanna-be named James Bond. Elvis loves songs to his girlfriend Fortune, portrayed by Laura Dern Lula looks like a model for Victoria's Secret who plays with her hair as she and Sailor smoke cigarettes.
The action begins as the couple, a sort of Bonnie and Cljee meet Romeo and Caroline home after Lila's mother Carolina magnificently by Diane Laind, vows to end the lury relationship. The two women journey to California.
The images and characters they encounter along the way create a trip well worth the ride for anyone crazy enough to join in the action.

John Kay's latest has modern sound
John Kay may never produce another song to match the freedom-breathing glory of "Born to Be Wild." But he hasn't stopped trying.
The new Steppenwolf album, "Rise & Shine," is like a postcard from a forgotten friend. It's not a work of fine art, but it delivers effectively to audiences. The message that adulthood is no excuse for compromising on youthful ideals.
band — none of them original Steppenwolf members — to work out Guitarist Rocket Ritchie is an ace.
From The Associated Press
It would be easy to dismiss Kay as just another 1960s act capitalizing on his appeal to baby boomers. But hepkenwolf wasn't just another pop music was as political as it was psychedelic, and Kay is still a social critical.
The 10 cuts on "Rise and Shine" lack the psychelled sound of the original Steppenwolf, although Kay still has that voice, an animal growl that remains one of rock's most distinctive sounds. Most of the tunes are modern-sounding, straight-ahead rockers that allow the three-mar
Album by former Go-Go is "solid"
Jane Wiedlin was largely responsible for everything that was good about the group the Go-Go's project. On Friday, she improves vastly upon that
The 10 selections, nine of them co-written by Wiedian and others, lean toward bouncy, guitar-driven pop with engaging female harmonies that recall such 1980s Go-Go's hits as "Sweet Sealed" and "We've Got the Beat."
But the songs on "Tangled" are more complex and varied. No two tracks sound alike, perhaps because the two were written by the same team.
Love is a common theme on the album. But love has many faces and Wiedlin takes a good look at a number of them.
"Tangled" is a solid release that sounds better with each listening.
