THE NEWS in brief
DALLAS
Flights disrupted as American Airlines workers stage strike
Hundreds of flights were disrupted and thousands of passengers delayed yesterday as flight attendants struck American Airlines, picking airports around the nation in the industry's biggest walkout in nearly five years.
Thousands of passengers at American's main hubs in Chicago and Dallas-Fort Worth were shuffled to other airlines, particularly United and Delta, or put on later American flights. United handled about 8,000 displaced American passengers in Chicago.
American wouldn't say how many flights it was able to operate, but said more than 60 percent of the flights at its home base and largest hub, Dallas-Fort Worth, had full crews by early afternoon.
Sources at another major carrier familiar with American's operation estimated 30 to 50 percent of American's flights were disrupted.
Other airlines were accepting American tickets and will be paid later by the airline under long-standing agreements.
WASHINGTON
Bill addresses violence at clinics
A bill cracking down on abortion clinic violence passed the House yesterday after lawmakers rejected a bid by anti-abortion lawmakers to soften penalties for protesters who stage peaceful blockades.
It was approved on a voice vote after the House voted, 246-182, to reject an effort to send the bill back to committee and strip out language opposed by abortion foes.
The bill creates new federal crimes for threats, use of force and obstruction at abortion clinics.
Counsel investigations re-enstated
The Senate voted yesterday to restore independent counsel investigations but warned future prosecutors to rein in costs and limit comments about those not indicted.
The seven-year, $40 million Iran-Contra probe was foremost in senators' minds when they voted, 76-21, to give the expired law a new five-year life.
The bill went to the House where a supporter, Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., predicted that the measure would be considered early next year.
