Winds delay shuttle launch and repair of Hubble telescope
High winds forced NASA to scrap yesterday's planned launch of the space shuttle Endeavour on its long-awaited mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. Better weather is expected for the new launch scheduled for 3:27 a.m. today.
NASA stalled the countdown clocks at the nine-minute mark early yesterday and waited for the weather to improve, but gave up five minutes before launch time.
Crosswind gusts of up to 22 mph were well over the safety limit.
If Endeavour is not off the ground by the end of next week, NASA plans to wait until January rather than work through Christmas.
The $629 million repair mission has been years in the making. A record five and possibly seven spacewalks are planned during the 11-day flight to correct the $1.6 billion telescope's problems.
LOS ANGELES
Riot injuries cost evangelist his life
Street evangelist Wally Tope wanted to make a difference. The day after riots erupted in Los Angeles, he went into the streets to preach to the looters. His conviction cost him his life.
Tope died Nov. 24 in a convalescent hospital in suburban Pasadena, 19 months after he was beaten into a coma while trying to stop looters, District Attorney Gil Garcetti said yesterday.
Tope, 54, never regained consciousness after the April
30, 1992, attack in Hollywood.
Fidel Ortiz, 22, and Leonard Sosa, 24, have pleaded innocent to attempted murder and aggravated mayhem in the Tope attack and are awaiting trial.
His death brought to 55 the number of people killed in the three days of riots.
After watching the city burn on the first day of the riots, Tope went to a strip mall in a rough section of Hollywood and started preaching to people looting stores.
Ortiz told police that Tope had confronted him and had told him to repent or go to hell. The men scuffled.
Witnesses said that Tope had been beaten and kicked in the head for about three minutes.

"But on the other hand, the people of Sarajevo have to survive the consequences of the world not coming to their aid to lift the siege."
Bosnia's U.N. ambassador, Muhamed Sacirbey, said,
"Frankly, I find any division of Sarajevo to be repugnant,
the recreation of Berlin.
The offer came on the second day of talks held under a European Community initiative to end conflict in former Yugoslavia.
The development signaled an important step forward in the often troubled three-sided talks aimed at ending a 19-month war that has claimed more than 200,000 lives.
Compiled from The Associated Press.
Sources close to peace talks said that Serbs were insisting on getting about 40 percent of the Bosnian capital and that they would be willing to return other territory to the Muslims as part of a deal.
Bosnia says it would share Sarajevo
Bosnia's Muslim-led government said for the first time yesterday that it would agree to divide Sarajevo with rival Serbs if that would save lives among the besieged population.
