2- The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, January 20, 1999 NA ION/ WORLD 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. KNOW OF NEWS? CALL 76.DAIL YO 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. ON O YETtCv-.

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.

MANN" AROUND THE WORLD 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.
