Contra report to be released
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The congressional Iran-contra committees will provide evidence of lies and document-shredding, recommend changes at the CIA and White House, and provide at least a few surprises in their final report, due to be unveiled Nov. 17, panel members said yesterday.
But Republican members, all but three of whom voted against the majority report when it was approved yesterday, mounted a campaign to discredit it in advance, contending it is laced with innuendoes and reaches conclusions not based on evidence.
Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., urged the Senate to pass a resolution recommending that none of the witnesses interrogated by the committees be indicted unless accused either of perjury or of criminally profiting from their actions.
The Senate rejected that move on a 91-4 tabling motion, despite Helms' argument that "the public good should not be flogging a dead horse any further."
"I don't think Oliver North ought to be inducted. I don't think he ought to be pushed around any more," he said, referring to the White House aide who was a key figure in the secret Iranian arms sales and clandestine aid to the Nicaraguan contras.
Sen. Warren Rudman, R-N.H.
ranking Republican on the Senate
Iran-contra panel, advised senators
and the report before taking such action
"There is much in the report that
will come as a surprise, even to those who followed the hearings," he said.
Rudman said that while the report accuses no one of violating the law, it does contain evidence that thousands of documents were shredded "not to hide them from the KGB but from the FBI."
Rudman said there is also evidence some witnesses lied to Congress and to the attorney general and that millions of dollars of government property was converted to private use.
Shortly after the two committees met to vote on the reports, Republican members, who were in the minority on both panels, were telling reporters the majority report was fatally flawed.
Einstein manuscript to be sold
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A previously unknown manuscript by Albert Einstein discusses his theory of relativity will be sold by Sotheby's next month. It is the earliest surviving manuscript discussing the important concept, and it illuminates his thinking during the height of his powers.
The 72-page work, in German, has never been published. It was written by Einstein about 1912 for the fifth volume of the "Handbuch der Radiologie" ("Dictionary of Radiology"). It could fetch $500,000 or more at auction, a Sotheby's official said.
The article, which he wrote for fellow scientists, was to have been
published by Professor Eric Marx in Leipzig, Germany, but the advent of World War I prevented publication.
"It's the most complete review of relativity he ever wrote," said John Stachel, editor of "The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein," in an interview. "It is the earliest manuscript of an Einstein paper known to be in existence and an extremely long one."
Einstein promulgated the special relativity theory in 1905. It deals with the relationships among space, time, matter and energy, and includes his famous formula: Energy equals mass times the speed of light
squared. The theory says that the speed of light is constant whether or not the source of light is moving.
Einstein's general theory of relativity came later, includes gravity in the sky.
The famous equation appears in different forms in the manuscript, and at one point is stated with an extra algebraic constant that Einstein later crossed out because he thought it was unnecessary.

"The manuscript gives valuable insight into Einstein's thinking," said Dr. Spencer Weart, director of the Center for the History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics.
