NATION/WORLD The Michigan Daily - Thursday, April 10, 1997 -11A More dashes erupt mn Mideast HEBRON, West Bank (AP) - The funeral of a Palestinian drew thou- sands to the streets yesterday in more West Bank rioting, and protesters hurled rocks and firebombs at Israeli soldiers - who answered with tear gas and rubber bullets. About 30 people were injured as Palestinian police formed human chains, searched rooftops, and blocked streets with trucks, struggling to separate protesters from the soldiers and prevent more deaths after, the funeral of Nader Isseid, 24, one of three Palestinians killed a day earlier. "We don't want it to spread all over" said Brig. Gen. Abdel Fatah Jaidi, head of National Guard forces 'in Hebron. But if the casualty toll mounts, he said, "I cannot predict what will happen." Two Palestinians were killed Tuesday and 100 injured in riots that broke out after two Jewish seminary students shot and killed a Palestinian man. "The olive branch is down and the Kalashnikov is raised," marchers shouted at Isseid's funeral. "Revenge, revenge.' Palestinian police fired 21 shots into the air as Isseid's body, wrapped in the red, white, green and black Palestinian flag, was lowered into the grave. Isseid died after several hours' in a coma with a bullet in his brain. After the funeral, thousands of Cloning may lead to medical cures WASHINGTON (AP) - Lost in the uproar over Dolly the cloned sheep is a biological feat that doctors say might someday allow them to grow new bone marrow for cancer victims, fight sickle cell anemia and other genetic diseases or even heal spinal cords. The idea is to turn back the clock inside cells to when they were newly formed and malleable - and then reprogram their genes to regrow tissues or switch off genes that spur disease. "It's an area of tremendous interest," said Dr. Harold Varmus, director of the National Institutes of Health. He is pushing a Congress afraid of possible human cloning not to ban Dolly- spurred research with such medical promise. Dolly's creation from a single repro- grammed udder cell gave a boost to companies already trying different methods to switch genes on and off, in a little-known field called developmen- tal biology. "I used to have the door slammed in my face," said Dr. Doros Platika, presi- dent of Ontogeny Inc. Just weeks after Dolly made headlines, the company raised $25 million from suddenly less- skeptical investors to try regrowing, among other things, brain cells destroyed by Parkinson's disease. Dolly showed "this is not science fic- tion," added Platika, a neurologist who is preparing to publish data showing his treatment stimulated brain-cell regrowth in mice. "People now realize there's a lot more plasticity in the body than they thought." Virtually every cell contains a per- son's entire genetic blueprint, all 80,000 to 100,000 genes. During, embryo development, cells become specialized - scientists call it "differentiation" - meaning only the genes responsible for each cell's func- tion in life are turned on. The mix of genes that are awake and thtse that are in a deep sleep determines that a skin cell will forever be a skin cell, and not a brain cell or a pancreas cell. Then Dolly creator Ian Wilmut shat- tered biology's dogma. The Scottish researcher essentially took a sheep's udder cell and "undiffer- entiated" it, making it think it was still an early embryo cell with no special func- tion. Then he awakened all the genes to spin off the cells needed for a sheep. AP rPHOT A Palestinian protestor throws a firebomb at Israeli soldiers during clashes in the West Bank town of Hebron yesterday. The clashes followed the funeral procession of a Palestinian killed in fierce riots that erupted after two Jews were killed. Palestinian marchers, many waving flags with militant Islamic slogans, marched toward the Israeli-controlled part of the city, where 500 Jewish set- tIers live. At one point, Palestinians brought buckets and cartons filled with rocks to replenish the supplies of protesters on the front line. Jaidi said Palestinian police had been ordered to be present in large numbers. "We want to keep losses to a minimum," he said. Eighty people died in rioting last September that deteriorated into gun battles between Palestinian police and Israeli soldiers. There have been almost daily stone- throwing clashes in the West Bank since Israel broke ground March 18 for a new Jewish neighborhood in east Jerusalem. Palestinians see the construction as an effort to preclude talks on the status of east Jerusalem, which they claim as a future capital. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists Israel's right to build in Jerusalem cannot be challenged. This week's violence followed a summit in Washington between Netanyahu and President Clinton that failed to produce a formula for break- ing the deadlock in peace talks, which ground to a halt following Israel's deci- sion to go ahead with the construction of the Har Homa neighborhood. A Palestinian delegation made up of Mahmoud Abbas, Yasser Arafat's top deputy, and chief negotiator Saeb Erekat left for Washington, yesterday to discuss ways of restarting the peace talks. Netanyahu has accused Arafat of releasing Palestinian militants and giving tacit consent to terrorist attacks against Israel, such as a suicide bomb- ing that killed three Israeli women in Tel Aviv last month. Yesterday, Palestinian negotiator Erekat made the same charges against Netanyahu, criticizing him for the release on bail of the two Hebron stu- dents accused in Tuesday's shooting. "It seems that he has given the green light to settler terrorism against Palestinians," he said. "We will put this issue to the Americans in order to direct the attention of the world to what is happening on the ground, which is a very grave situation." .3 SENIORS Graduations and PARTIES are our Specialties!

V ih 'U' alum, activist loses bid for L.A. mayor LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mayor Richard Riordan, who told voters he delivered on his promise to turn the nation's second-largest city around, was re-elected to a "second term yesterday over '60s radical-turned-legis- lator Tom Hayden. With all absentee ballots counted and 28 percent of e city's precincts reporting, Riordan had 88,070 tes or 61 percent of the vote, to Hayden's 50,338 or 35 percent. Most of the early votes were from around the down- town area, neighborhoods where Hayden enjoyed his strongest support. Two hours after the polls closed, Hayden thanked supporters who had joined him "in trying to visualize ard dream a dream of a livable L.A." Hayden, a former University student radical activist and founding member of Students for a Democratic ciety, led the student movement in Ann Arbor dur- ing the early 1960s. He was also Editor-in-Chief of The Michigan Daily from 1960-1961. "Whatever the outcome is tonight, we have to reach for that dream, because without dreams we are not human beings, and L.A. can never be a city of hope, only a place of survival and antagonism," Hayden said. The last time Los Angeles voters ousted a mayor was 1973. The city clerk's office had estimated no more than 35 percent of the 1.3 million registered voters would cast ballots in the nonpartisan election. But just one hour before polls closed, only 19.6 per- cent of eligible voters had cast ballots. Both candidates voted in their Brentwood neigh- borhoods early Tuesday. The municipal elections, in which voters also were choosing City Council members and deciding voter initiatives, were marred by dozens of polling places opening late and some listed incorrectly on sample ballots sent to voters. A Los Angeles Times poll released a week ago showed Riordan with 57 percent to Hayden's 35 per- cent. But the poll also illustrated the city's racial divide, with Riordan trailing 63 percent to 17 percent among black voters. The race began with a focus mostly on the issues, but Hayden grew increasingly strident, last week call- ing the mayor a racist who abandoned the inner city. Hayden later apologized. To his annoyance, Hayden's background as a Chicago Seven defendant and '60s rabble-rouser loomed as large as his current political persona, that of a 57-year-old liberal state senator who wears a suit and a neat haircut. The white-haired Riordan, 66, comes off as a kind- ly senior citizen, devoid of charisma. His speeches are stilted and unpolished. Riordan, elected the year after the 1992 riots, made expanding the police force a central theme of his first and second campaigns. During his first term, the police department grew by 2,000 officers -short of the 3,000 he had promised to add or not seek re-election. Riordan also said that under the business-friendly cli- mate he has cultivated unemployment and office vacan- cy rates have fallen and the whole city is benefiting from a "Hollywood Renaissance." He pointed to expansions at Universal Studios and the Los Angeles airport and the planned DreamWorks studio development. Work Across Differences.
