2A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, April 16, 1998 NATION/VORLD Regime leader Pol Pot dies in sleep BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Pol Pot, leader of the Khmer Rouge regime that sent as many as 2 mil- lion Cambodians to their deaths, died peacefully in his sleep yesterday, Khmer Rouge officials said. He was 73. Pol Pot died before midnight in northern Cambodia near the Thai border, said Nuon Nou, reached by tele- phone on the border. Nuon Nou was assigned to guard Pol Pot after he lost power in a bloody power struggle within the Khmer Rouge last year. Nuon Nou said Pol Pot's wife informed Khmer offi- cials of his death. "She learned that her husband was dead when she was tying the (mosquito) net for him, Nuon Nou said. "Ie died in a but built for him after he lost his power." Thai military and Khmer Rouge ces, who demand- ed anonymity, gave heart failure as the cause of death. Nuon Nol, who said photos had been taken of the corpse as evidence, dismissed all suggestions of foul play. "No one has done anything like that," he said. The Khmer Rouge would hold a traditional Khmer funeral for its former leader, the Nuon Nou said. In the Carnbodian capital of Phnom Penh, govern- ment spokesperson Khieu Kanharith demanded an autopsy to determine the cause of death. "We request whoever has his body to turn it over to the government,' he said, adding, "There are a lot of coincidences here" Pol Pot's death, often rumored in recent years, comes amid reports that Khmer officials were bidding to hand over their former leader to an international tri- bunal and as Cambodian forces were drawing near the last Khmer rebels holed up in mountains near the Thai border. Pol Pot orchestrated one of the most violent revo- lutions of the 20th century, turning Cambodia into a vast killing field and slave labor camp the 1970s. As many as one out of five Cambodians perished through executions, disease and starvation before neighboring Vietnam invaded in 1979, ending his campaign to remake Cambodia into a Marxist agrar- ian utopia. AROUNmD TEN~o Judge calls for investigation into Starr LITT LE ROCK. Ark. (AP) -A federal judge called yesterday for an investi .a- tion into links among Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr and other conserva- tives. U.S. District Judge 1lenry Woods said groups accused of funneling money to key government witness David Hale might also have orchestrated his removal from a Whitewater case initially assigned to him. "It is important to me, and I believe to the integrity of the judicial process. to know whether any person in the justice system, including those in (Starr's office) or in the legislative branch, was aware of machinations to afTect and determine what judge would preside over the ... case' Woods said in a statement released by his office. Woods, a lifelong Democrat, was assigned to hear a fraud and conspiracy case against then-Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, also a Democrat, until the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals removed him in March 1996. Starr asked that Woods be removed after the judge tossed out Tucker's initial indictment. The bulk of the case against Woods depended on media articles suggesting Woods had close ties to President Clinton and the first lady. Woods said some arti- cles were based on an "untrue" and "libelous" op-ed column written by one of h' polar opponents.

"We've been trying to set up a meeting with Maureen (Hartford) all year," Jones said. "It wasn't until we sent out press releases and got public pressure that we got the response we wanted," Jones said. Jones said the students want to talk to Hartford because she is the liason between students and admin- istrators and therefore is account- able for the unsatisfactory responses by the University. Hartford suggested that Dean of Students E. Royster Harper, Director of Housing William Zeller and Associate Dean of Students Frank Cianciola may be in atten- dance. Harper said she would "be happy to attend" if invited. Derige said the meeting is "essen- tial" and its goal is to make Hartford more accessible to students of color and to draw up a plan of action regarding these racial issues on campus. "It's not just about venting," Derige said. Hartford said the meeting will be "a chance to listen more than to talk."

"It's an embarrassing mistake," Lehman said. "This is not anything the Law School would say." Yale Law School received the No. 1 overall spot in the U.S. News and World Report rankings. Lehman said he tried to contact Yale Law Dean Anthony Kronman to dis- cuss any misrepresentation of the rank- ings. "I did try to place a courtesy call to my friend that's the dean," Lehman said. "H e will get a chuckle out of this. Catherine Cureton, the Law School's director of publications, said that not only were members of the Law School community unaware that the University was publishing parts of the U.S. News rankings, but also that many of them do not like to use the rankings to evaluate schools. "I don't think applicants for admis- sion are well-served solely relying on rankings," Cureton said. "The students I talk with that are here for school said they did not use rankings as the one decision-making consideration:" Celeste James, director of Media Relations for U.S. News and Report, said the University seems to be taking the steps necessary to clear up any mis- representation. "I maintain that it is misleading if. there is no parenthetical information about where the information came from," James said. "So, if they're reprinting them, that seems appropriate to me." Peterson said the 22,000 wallet-size informational guides cost about $7,000 to print, but will cost less than $1,000 to reprint. The profiles were published by Marketing Communications and dis- tributed last week to various University departments, as well as members of the media. "We certainly will r-place as many are necessary to g,- the job done," Peterson said. Breast exam false alarms common A woman who has regular mam- mograms and clinical breast exams will almost certainly have at least one false alarm during her lifetime that will require stressful, time-con- suming and expensive further test- ing to rule out breast cancer, accord- ing to a new study being reported today. One in five of those false alarms will lead to a breast biopsy in which tissue is removed from the suspected tumor, a team from the University of Washington School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School report in today's New England Journal of Medicine. According to the study, 50 percent of women who have 10 mammograms will have one so-called false positive result. The high rate is an outgrowth of physicians' efforts to detect every breast tumor possible, said Joann Elmore of the University of Washington. Although increased efforts should be directed at reducing the number of false positives, she said, the study car- ries a hopeful message. When women receive a positive result on a mammogram or clinical examination, "it is very scary,' Elmore said. Jones to appeal ruling on civil case WASHINGTON - decided yesterday to appeal a judge's decision dismissing her sexual harass- ment suit against President Clinton, a source close to her legal team said. "The case is alive and vibrant;" addeO her chief financial backer. Jones and her lawyers huddled in a series of meetings yesterday in Dallas discussing the odds of winning an appeal. An announcement there was scheduled for 2 p.m. CDT today. "She's made the decision to appeal, and unless something changes between now and 2 p.m. tomorrow, that's the announce- ment she'll make," said the source.

In a report to the Security Council, the U.N. Special Commission also said diplomats who accompanied inspectors sided with Iraq in some instances when minor disputes arose during visits to President Saddam Hussein's eight palaces last month. The report, sent to the council yes- terday, reviewed the first round of inspections of the eight palaces per- mitted under the U.N.-Iraq agree- ment, signed in February, which averted a U.S.-led military strike against Iraq. Although inspections were carried out to its satisfaction, the commis- sion, also known as UNSCOM, said, problems are "likely to re-emerge," especially when teams try to visit sites with little or no warning to the Iraqis. "It is essential to note ... the funda- mental issue of continuing access is by no means solved and has only been postponed," the report said. The report cited remarks attribute to Iraqi Lt. Gen. Amir Rasheed, who reportedly said that Iraq "had agreed to a process of visits of finite duration:' Israel releases man jailed since '92 JERUSALEM - Under pressure from human rights groups, Israel yesteO day released a Palestinian man jailed since 1992 without being charged ,or tried. Four other long-term prisoners were also released, but it was the case-of Ahmed Qatamesh -- the longest-held and most prominent of Israel's untried detainees - that had become a cause celebrated in recent months. Qatamesh was arrested Sept. 1, 1992. Israel never produced evidence that had been involved in terrorism. - Compiled from Daily wire reports.
