Atlantis docks with Russian space station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Atlantis blasted off yesterday on a historic flight to link up with Russia's space station Mir and bring home an American astronaut who has been in orbit a record-breaking 31/2 months.
The Associated Press
"Godspeed on the 100th U.S.-manned mission in space," launch controller Jim Toohey told the seven-member, U.S.-Russian crew.
After days of rain, the weather was nearly perfect as Atlantis roared from its seaside pad at 3:32 p.m. and

pierced the low clouds. Thunderstorms had forced NASA to postpone the flight twice last week.
Russia and the United States plan seven Atlantis-Mir dockings over the next two years to prepare for construction of an international space station.
"Very few people get to see their dreams come true, but today I'm seeing it in living color," said NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin, who

watched the launch on television in Portland, Ore.
Atlantis will spend two days catching up to Mir and dock with it tomorrow, 245 miles above Earth. Thagard and his Russian crewmates will swap places with the two Russians who flew up on the shuttle.
Thagard, Vladimir Dezhurov and
Gennady Strekalov have been
aboard Mirsince March 16.
Atlantis will bring eight people
back — the first time a U.S. spacecraft will return with more people than it left with.
Many space officials, including Goldin, consider the docking the most challenging task since landing men on the moon.
Atlantis' commander, Robert "Hoot" Gibson, will have to steer the shuttle to within a few inches and degrees of the docking ring on the huge Mir station as the two spacecraft zoom around Earth at 17,500 mph. He will have to do this within two minutes of the appointed time and at a creep of one-tenth of a foot
per second.
Such large objects have never docked before in orbit. Mir has a mass of 123 tons in orbit, Atlantis 100 tons. The two spacecraft will be joined for five days.
"The specialists from the two countries have a lot to learn from each other," said Yuri Semenov, president of the Russian aerospace company RSC Energia. "Together, we can do much more than individually, and we hope that politicians will not interfere with our work and will actually assist us rather than be in our way."
Ex-Chief Justice Burger dies at 87
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Warren E. Burger, the retired chief justice who wrote the Supreme Court opinion that forced President Nixon to release the Watergate tapes, was a conservative jurist who also won praise from liberals.
The nation's 15th chief justice, Burger served from 1969 to 1986, the longest tenure this century. He died on Sunday at age 87.
reform, Burger retired in 1986 and devoted full attention to his duties as the unpaid chairman of the Commission on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution.
In that post, he led the national celebrations of the Constitution's 200th anniversary in 1987 and the Bill of Rights' 200th anniversary in 1989.
"Justice Burger was a strong, powerful, visionary chief justice who opened the doors of opportunity," President Clinton said in a statement issued in Little Rock, Ark. "As chief justice, he

He wrote the opinion that in 1974 forced Nixon — the man who had nominated him to the court — to surrender White House tape recordings and papers for use as evidence in the trial of presidential aides accused of covering up the Watergate scandal.

Rabbi claims TV's Sawyer is 'Deep Throat'
The Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Diane Sawyer denied a rabbi's claim that she was the "Deep Throat" source who helped The Washington Post uncover the Watergate scandal that brought down President Nixon.
And Bob Woodward, the Post reporter who has never revealed the identity of his source, said Rabbi Baruch Korff was wrong.
The 80-year-old Korff was a friend of Nixon's and stood by him throughout Watergate.
Sawyer, now a journalist for ABC, was an assistant in the Nixon press office. She said Monday through a representative that Korff's claim was laughable.
"For 20 years we we've always said that the source 'Deep Throat' was a man," said Woodward, now an assistant managing editor at the Post. "There is no evidence that Diane Sawyer in her kind of subsidiary role in the Nixon White House would have that kind of knowledge."
Korff said he based his opinion on Sawyer's special relationship with press secretary Ron Ziegler and his observation that Sawyer knew in advance what was going on at the White House.
"I believed it was her," Korff said in an interview at his home, where he is ill with pancreatic cancer. "I have no solid evidence of it, but everything points to it."
Sawyer's agent, Richard Liebner, said Woodward and his former Post colleague Carl Bernstein probably would have a good laugh because of the story.
Korff achieved national attention when he formed the Ad Hoc Committee for Fairness to the Presidency to rally support for Nixon during the Watergate crisis.
Korff did not reveal his suspicion in his 1994 book "The President and I," which chronicles his relationship with Nixon. He did not say why he had kept quiet until now about his suspicions.
At various times, it has been speculated that "Deep Throat" may have been L. Patrick Gray, then acting FBI chief, or Alexander Haig, who worked then for National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger. Other names also have been mentioned.
The secret source led Woodward and Bernstein to discover financial discrepancies and attempts to cover up criminal activity among the president's top staffers. Nixon resigned Aug. 9, 1974, and died last year.
