But the Russians opposed a pro- posed new U.N. resolution specifically authorizing airstrikes, said Germany's Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel. In Vienna, diplomatic sources said the OSCE was not expected to finalize details of the verification mission until next week. Western nations were discussing naming Jacques Klein, the American deputy to Bosnia's top international mediator Carlos Westendorp, as head of the mission - to be composed largely of Europeans. *Hyde defends impeachment 3 Glen's flight offers link for space studies hivestigat1( Los Angeles Times CHICAGO - Returning to his hometown yesterday, a place where many old-timers call him just plainI "Hank," Judiciary Committee Chairperson Henry Hyde carried ther entire public debate over impeach- ment with him from Washington. 1 Hyde (R-1ll.) defended his inquiry at a Chicago Bar Association lun- aeon, where he was touted even by 'ie-hard Democrats as someone whoi will give President Clinton a fair shake. But praise was not everywhere. The president of the National Organization for Women needled1 Hyde in his own back yard about hisa decades-old extramarital affair. Even Robert Bennett, the presi- dent's private attorney in the Paula 'ones sexual harassment case, made a p in the Windy City, criticizing Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr for his contacts with Jones' attorneys. The three appearances \within hours and city blocks from each other were coincidental, said organizers, but they turned Chicago - which will play host to the president and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in sepa- rate appearances today and tomorrow Clinton - into ground zero on impeachment. At the lawyers' luncheon, Hyde said he is being squeezed by both the president's fiercest critics and most loyal defenders as he struggles to set a middle course on impeachment. "I would trade it for a Hershey bar," he said of his pressure-cooker job heading an inquiry that has not, and may never, captivate the American people. "Anyone who wants it can have it." Of course, Hyde had no intention of giving up the reins of only the third impeachment inquiry in the nation's history. But he made his point: Not one of the 100 or so lawyers at John Marshall Law School volunteered themselves as replacements. Hyde also downplayed recent polls showing declining public support for Congress and its handling of the Monica Lewinsky case. Public opinion will be an essential part of the impeachment process, Hyde acknowledged. But he suggest- ed that it will have more influence if the full House votes articles of impeachment against Clinton, which would then be sent to the Senate. Newsday From the very outset of the space age, scientists and physicians worried about how the human body would react to the weightless environment. Some worried that astronauts' eyeballs would lose shape, affecting their vision, or that the space travelers would have trouble swallowing food. Neither proved true. But when humans venture into orbit, as John Glenn and his crewmates are scheduled to do on Oct. 29, discon- certing things do begin to happen: Motion sickness is typical during the first day or two as the space travel- er struggles to regain a sense of orienta- tion in an environment where "up" and "down" no longer apply. With no pressure on the verte- brae, the spine expands and the astro- naut can "grow" up to two inches. Body fluids that normally pool in the lower torso and legs under the tug of gravity now begin to shift toward the head, swelling the face and neck. The fluid shifts, which the body interprets as a volume overload, trig- ger a cascade of other events: the kid- ney filtration rate increases, the vol- ume of blood plasma drops, hormone levels change. Muscles required for walking and maintaining posture fall into disuse and begin to atrophy. Bones, subjected to decreased stress and weight bearing in space, begin to lose density. Still, researchers have learned over the years that the body is surprisingly adaptable to the rigors of space. Astronauts and cosmonauts find that weightlessness becomes manageable, even comfortable, although we now know there is a price to be paid when they return to Earth. "That very unnatural environment of zero gravity becomes the norm for you," says Andrew Thomas, a U.S. astronaut who spent more than four months on the Russian space station Mir earlier this year. Thomas had a shaky reintroduction to Earth's gravity. Upon leaving the space shuttle that retrieved him from orbit, he walked ten- tatively to a crew van. "It's a very strange feeling to go through that, to stand up for the first time," he recalled a few weeks later. Thomas suffered balance problems and nausea, which cleared up within about 12 hours. #4 anounements LADIES OF MICHIGAN: Join the sisterhood of ALPHA GAMMA DELTA. Disbover yourself.
