Iranian leader may retract agreement to allow access
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's supreme leader said yesterday that "excessive demands" from abroad could prompt Tehran to retreat from a recent commitment to give inspectors from the U.N. nuclear watchdog more access to its atomic facilities.
The warning by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei comes as the International Atomic Energy Agency evaluates a dossier on Iran's nuclear program that Tehran supplied to meet an Oct. 31 deadline to prove it is not developing atomic weapons —as U.S. officials believe.
Iran agreed last month to allow unfettered inspections of its nuclear facilities and to stop enriching uranium — a process that creates fuel for nuclear plants but also can be used to build weapons.
IAEA Director General Mohamed El Baradei told CNN yesterday that the agency still was evaluating Iran's nuclear dossier.
The United States accuses Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons and has pressed for the IAEA to declare Iran in violation of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Tehran, however, insists it is only developing nuclear energy to produce power as its oil stocks decline.
IAEA experts have found traces of highly enriched weapons-grade uranium on equipment at Iranian sites, a discovery ElBaradei has called the most troubling aspect of Tehran's nuclear activities.
'P. Diddy' completes marathon, raises $2 million for children
NEW YORK — Running on a bum right knee and after just two months of training, hip-hop entrepreneur Sean "R Diddy" Combs completed the grueling New York City Marathon, raising $2 million for children - double what he had planned.
"Never in my life have I ever experienced anything as crazy as this," Combs said yesterday at a news conference. "It was a beautiful experience."
Combs' official race time was 4:14:54. It was his first marathon. The producer-raper said he had raised $2 million since announcing in September that he would run.
The money will be divided among two children's charities and New York City public schools. Combs said he gained support from an NBC reporter covering the race who ran with him, as well as from children in Harlem who cheered him on.
"I definitely wanted to stop." Combs said. "This is definitely a life-changing experience for me because I did not stop."
Known on the course simply as No. 30,792, Combs kept a respectable pace for much of the 26.2-mile race.
As he crossed the finish line, he raised both arms in triumph. Among his donors: Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who pitched in $10,000; rapper Jay-Z, who gave $25,000; gossip-column regulars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who gave a combined $78,000.

Phelps hopes to use loophole to place Wyoming monument
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — CHEYENNE,
Wyo. - City officials are weighing
options in the event an anti-gay Kansas
clergyman decides to try to put up a
monument in Cheyenne condemning
slain college student Matthew Shepard.
Pastor Fred Phelps, of Topeka, is attempting to erect a monument in Casper, Shepard's hometown, and other cities where the Ten Commandments are displayed.
Phelps said displaying a Ten Commandments monument forced a city to allow other religious displays as well, including his own. Last week, Casper officials rejected his request and decided to move the Ten Commandments monument from City Park to a historic plaza next year. Phelps has vowed litigation or a fight to put his monument in the new plaza. He has also said he may buy private land for the marker. Cheyenne also has a Ten Commandments display, on the northern end of Lions Park, and officials have been discussing what to do with it.
"My goal is to be proactive so that we have the time to do the right thing," Councilman Joe Bonds said.
Bond said the city has been and he hoped would continue to be receptive to different ideas and groups.

"But I think Reverend Phelps is the ugly part of that diversity, and I don't want we want to go there," he said.
