Despite threat, women set sail on U.S. warship
NORFOLK, Va.
THE NEWS in brief
With friends and relatives of women on board the aircraft carrier Eisenhower watching from a distance because of a bomb threat, the warship set sail on a six-month sea tour yesterday, becoming the first U.S. warship to carry women on an extended mission.
The Eisenhower and its support ships are carrying more than 12,000 sailors and Marines to relieve the carrier USS George Washington and its battle group off the Arabian peninsula, where it was sent in response to the Iraqi troop buildup.
L. Cmdr Janice M. Hamby, one of almost 400 women among the carrier's 5,500 personnel, said she felt much safer on an aircraft carrier than on the lightly armed support ships to which women were relegated in the past.
"The big difference for us is that we can defend ourselves," Hamby said. "I can go to the Persian Gulf and feel a lot safer than someone on a repair ship or a resupply ship."
White House now on Internet
WASHINGTON
The White House rolled out a cyber welcome mat yesterday.
Despite a telephoned bomb threat an hour before its departure, the USS Eisenhower pulled away from the Norfolk Naval Base on time after a search by the crew, bomb experts and dogs found no bomb. The threat forced authorities to evacuate a pier where about 500 family members waited to bid farewell.
Without ever leaving their seats, Americans with computer access to the Internet can sign a White House "guest book," mosey through the Oval Office, listen to a few plaintive meows from Socks the cat, scan political cartoons poking fun at Vice President Al Gore or drop a line to
President Clinton.
They also can more easily take care of serious business with the federal government, everything from retrieving documents and checking out job opportunities to finding out about veterans benefits and small-business loans.
It's all available to visitors of a new Internet address that offers computer users a free interactive citizen's handbook called "Welcome to the White House."
This guide to the federal government's on-line resources is gussied up with high-tech bells and whistles like electronic "photo albums," audio messages from the president, and yes, even a guest register.
SEOUL, South Korea
One public bus, one van and about 10 cars fell into the Han River when about 50 yards of the four-lane Songutakvo bridge collapsed at 7:30 a.m.
A section of a major bridge that crosses a river in Seoul, South Korea, collapsed during the morning rush hour yesterday, killing at least 42 people.
Collapsing bridge claims 42 lives
Footage by the KBS Television network showed the collapsed portion of the bridge lying in the river, with the outside-down wreckage of a bus and a smashed sedan.
Rescue divers and boats that rushed to the river rescued about 30 people and recovered at least 42 bodies, said police on MBC, South Korea's semi-official television network.
Prosecutors sent investigators to the bridge to check on the quality of repair work done by the city the night before, KBS said. It added that the weight limit of the bridge was 18 tons and that the limit was regularly exceeded.
Some of the vehicles fell into the water, others remained on the fallen section of the bridge, which did not sink.
CHRISTIE'S TOY BOX WHERE THE FUN BEGINSI
Recent news reports have said that many of the 15 bridges crossing the Han River needed repairs because they were old and outdated. The Songsutakyu bridge, 1,160 yards long and 20 yards wide, was built in 1979.
