NATO generals meet with Milosevic
AROUND THE NATION
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) -
NATO generals held six hours of
"not completely successful" negotia-
tions yesterday with hard-line
Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic over the escalating vio-
lence in Kosovo, a Western source
close to the talks said.
A U.N. war crimes investigator,
meanwhile, was denied entry into
Yugoslavia for a second day and U.S.
diplomat expelled after accusing Serbs
of massacring 45 ethnic Albanians was
given 24 more hours to remain in the
country.
Only three months after Yugoslavia
narrowly escaped NATO attacks, the
Western alliance's top generals returned
to Belgrade and held talks with
Milosevic over the deteriorating situa-
tion in Kosovo.
The Western source said the generals
were not able to convince Milosevic to
live up to all conditions laid down by
the alliance to bring peace to Kosovo
but said: "we made progress in certain
areas."
The Yugoslav president, however,
appeared unimpressed by renewed
NATO threats of airstrikes - unlike
last October when he agreed to a cease-
fire in Kosovo. Milosevic's security
forces yesterday defiantly continued
bombarding the Racak area where the
ethnic Albanians were massacred last
weekend.
Thousands of people have fled the
region around Racak, southwest of the
Kosovo capital of Pristina, and scores
have been killed in five days of heavy
fighting. A Serb police commander was
shot to death yesterday and two police-
men were wounded in clashes with eth-
nic Albanian rebels.

Supreme Court keeps California law
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court left intact California's three-strikes
law, the nation's toughest on repeat offenders, even though four of the nine justices
voiced concerns yesterday about its constitutionality.
The justices rejected the appeal of a man sentenced to 25 years to life in prison
after he stole a bottle of vitamins from a supermarket, a crime one California court
called "a petty theft motivated by homelessness and hunger."
Nine-time loser Michael Riggs, in an appeal he wrote himself, had attacked the
three-strikes law as cruel and unusual punishment.
Only Justice Stephen Breyer voted to hear Riggs' appeal. Four votes are need-
ed to grant such full review. Three other justices, however, said his case raised
"obviously substantial" issues that first should be considered by lower courts.
About half the states adopted three-strikes earlier this decade but those laws
generally have not been invoked often.
California has been the major exception.
The state has used its 1994 law to put away more than 40,000 people for sec-
ond and third strikes - a quarter of the state's prison population. About 4,400 of
them were sentenced to 25 years to life.
Another exception is Georgia, which has sentenced nearly 2,000 people u~r
its three-strikes law.

Bush looks to White
House, sources say
AUSTIN, Texas - George W. Bush
was sworn in for his second term as
Texas governor yesterday, even as
sources close to him signaled he was
intensifying his efforts to explore a
possible bid for the 2000 Republican
presidential nomination.
While the focus yesterday was on the
second term that Bush won in a land-
slide re-election in November, many
here viewed the day's festivities as only
the overture for a presidential
announcement later this year. Aides
said perhaps as soon as March, Bush
could move closer toward such a race
by formally establishing a presidential
exploratory committee.
"In March or so, if the answer (about
running) is anything other than
absolutely not, he's got to let something
go forward," said one senior adviser to
Bush, who has emerged as the clear
front-runner in almost all early polls of
GOP presidential preferences for 2000.
Bush advisers caution that an
exploratory committee would reflect
only a commitment to examine a possi-
ble race seriously - not an irrevocable
commitment to run. But the assessment
in political circles here is virtually
unanimous: While it remains possible
Bush won't run, all signs now pt
toward him entering the race.
Israeli leader's D.C.
office burglarized
WASHINGTON - Burglars for the
second time in a week broke into the
Capitol Hill office of a polling firm
working for Israeli Labor Party leader
Ehud Barak, stealing what sources said
was sensitive material related to
election campaign and aggravatingTn
already tense political situation in
Israel.
The break-in at Greenberg Quinlan
Research Inc., occurred sometime after
4 p.m. Monday, police said. The thieves
got in through a second-story window
and immediately disabled a "new and
improved" security system installed
after last week's burglary.

Finnish member
resigns from IOC
LAUSANNE, Switzerland - The
International Olympic Committee yes-
terday suffered its first casualty from
the bribery scandal surrounding the
2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City
when a Finnish member resigned in the
wake of charges that her ex-husband
was employed by the organizing com-
mittee..
Pirjo Haeggman, a physical educa-
tion teacher and former Olympic
sprinter, informed IOC President Juan
Antonio Samaranch of her decision
even before an investigation had com-
pleted its review of whether some IOC
members received favors from Salt
Lake and possibly other cities seeking
to host the Olympics.
Haeggman said she was stepping
down to put an end to her controversy
but denied that she had broken IOC
rules, which insist that members must
keep themselves from free from any
political or commercial influence.
"From the current perspective, I
am guilty of being rash and perhaps
naive in my trust in other people,"
she said in a statement from Finland.
"My conscience is completely clear'
Haeggman is one of 13 IOC mem-
bers who reportedly have been accu~d
of accepting cash, medical care, sc -
arships and other goods and services
worth more than $600,000 from Salt
Lake boosters.
Programmer plants
computer virus
BEIJING - A disgruntled computer
programmer has reportedly confe-i
to planting a killer virus in thousants
of copies of educational software in the
Chinese capital's first apparent case of
serious hacker sabotage.
The programmer, Zhang
Wenming, faces a possible jail term
of up to five years for bugging soft-
ware sold to schools throughout
Beijing to prepare students for a
national computer proficiency test,
the official Beijing Youth Daily
reported yesterday.
