S. officials said, either the Avalon or the Mystic could have been flown to a Russian port by Monday and carried to the Kursk by a Russian cargo ship.One concern was whether the hatches on the U.S. craft would have fit tightly enough with the hatches on the Russian submarine. Another was whether the Kursk was leaning too far toward one side for the rescue craft to connect to it.But after Russian officials finally requested international help on Wednesday, Great Britain dispatched a smaller rescue submarine. It is expected to reach the Kursk on Saturday. And though that could be too late to save any crew members who survived the submarine's plunge to the seabed, British authorities said Thursday that their hatches should match up with the Kursk's.They also quoted Russian officials as saying that the Kursk is listing only 20 degrees, and not 60 degrees, as previously announced.

One Russian submarine was so badly damaged after colliding with an American boat in 1970 that it almost sank, the Russian navy contends.Pentagon officials have repeatedly denied that any American submarine collided with the Kursk, which plunged to the seabed on Aug. 12. An intense rescue operation ended on Monday when the Russians concluded that all 118 sailors had died in the wreckage.U.S. officials have said that two American submarines were in the Barents Sea to monitor a Russian naval exercise that included the Kursk. But they have said that neither submarine was close to the Russian vessel. British officials also denied any involvement on Monday, saying they had no submarines in the Barents Sea.Since the Cold War ended, the tenor of the cat-and-mouse game, in which the submarines chased one another to test the other side's capabilities, has grown less aggressive.American officials even called Russian leaders to apologize shortly after each of the last two collisions occurred, in the early 1990s.

Then they fill out a questionnaire of health information.The Viagra sites alone differ dramatically in what health questions they ask, and what prices they charge.One site asks one question only: Do you take nitroglycerin or other ``nitrates''? Taking Viagra with those drugs can kill. But other health problems, including heart disease, recent heart attacks or abnormal blood pressure, also can make Viagra risky. Another site asks about those additional health problems, including whether would-be Viagra users recently had a ``myocardial infarction'' _ a heart attack.U.S. sites typically charge a ``consultation fee'' for a doctor to read those questionnaires, an effort to fulfill requirements that only doctors prescribe medication. The sites waive that fee if the doctor denies the customer the drug. If the drug is shipped, the customer pays the consultation fee, anywhere from dlrs 35 to dlrs 85, plus the drug's cost _ at one U.S. site, dlrs 105 for 10 Viagra pills.Foreign sites typically say they don't require a prescription _ hence no consultation fee and fewer health questions.

Last month, Pfizer Inc. reported Viagra sales of $141 million worldwide for the third quarter _ about a third of Viagra's $411 million sales in the second quarter.Dr. Larry Litscher, a Dayton urologist and a faculty member of Wright State University School of Medicine, isn't surprised. He says Viagra could never have lived up to its early hype as the first oral medication for impotence.``You had to be living in a cave at the time not to have heard about Viagra,'' he said. ``The result is that every man who ever had a problem (with impotence) asked for the drug when it first came out,'' whether it might work for him or not.Many patients were soon disappointed with 73.7 6 okay APW19990307.0020 And most plans have labeled Viagra a lifestyle drug, which does little to improve health of most men. 73.7 6 okay NYT19980619.0324 Aetna cited in refusing to cover prescriptions for Viagra the " primarily recreational/lifestyle use and abuse of this drug " 73.7 6 okay NYT19980619.0324 In refusing to cover prescriptions for Viagra, Aetna cited the "primarily recreational / lifestyle use and ab use of this drug." 73.7 7 okay APW19980602.1399 Some of the side - effects of Viagra , reputed to be the first oral drug to treat erectile dysfunctions include headaches , a flushed face and ` blue vision ' purportedly caused by overuse . 73.7 7 okay APW19980602.1399 Some of the side-effects of Viagra, reputed to be the first oral drug to treat erectile dysfunctions include headaches, a flushed face and `blue vision' purportedly caused by overuse 73.7 7 okay APW19980602.1399 Some of the side-effects of Viagra, reputed to be the first oral drug to treat erectile dysfunctions include headaches, a flushed face and 'blue vision' purportedly caused by overuse. 73.7 7 okay APW19980626.0354 vision and headache problems, Viagra's side effects include an incompatibility with some heart drugs. 73.7 7 okay APW19980915.0624 Besides potential vision and headache problems, Viagra's side effects include an incompatibility with some heart drugs. 73.7 7 okay APW19981124.1419 It also can cause vision problems.

He retired in 1975.It was around this time that Holton first began writing an annual letter to the university, expressing a desire to create scholarships for Midwestern students with a small trust that he intended to leave to DePauw after he and his wife had died, Bottoms said.The couple's only child, Jane, died in 1974 at the age of 38. She had no children.DePauw, a liberal arts institution in Greencastle, in west-central Indiana, has an enrollment of 2,334. Although the gift ranks among the 10 largest to an American university, it is dwarfed by the gift believed to lead that list: $300 million in stock from the Ingram Charitable Fund to Vanderbilt University last year.When Bottoms became president of DePauw in 1986, he said Holton estimated the value of the trust at about $1.5 million.After Holton died in 1995, a month shy of his 88th birthday, the trust reverted to his wife. When she died in 1997, at 90, the university was told that the trust was worth about $18 million, Bottoms said.Soon after, though, Bottoms said he was stunned to learn that DePauw had been named as the beneficiary of half of the Holtons' estate, much of it invested in Time-Warner stock that Holton had first received when his company was bought by Time Inc. in 1978, before being spun off in 1983.At the time of Mrs. Holton's death, the full estate was valued at $125 million, Bottoms said.But in the two years it has taken to transfer half of the estate to DePauw, the value of Time-Warner stock has climbed, doubling the estate's value.The university's share, Bottoms said, was ultimately $128 million _ enough to pay for 75 scholarships a year.The scholarships are to be awarded on the basis of need, as well as merit, to students from Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio 74.7 3 okay NYT19990818.0318 received $128 million in stocks, one of the largest gifts bestowed on an American university, from two former students who never graduated 74.7 3 okay NYT19990818.0318 University said Wednesday that it had received $128 million in stocks, one of the largest gifts bestowed on an American university, from the estate of two former students who never graduated from DePauw. 74.7 4 okay NYT19980728.0404 INDIANA ASBURY COLLEGE CHANGED ITS NAME TO DEPAUW UNIVERSITY IN THE 1870'S AFTER WA.

Merck shares fell $7.31 1/4 after the announcement Friday. On Monday, CIBC Oppenheimer downgraded the firm's investment rating on Merck from a strong buy to a buy. The stock dropped another $1.50 Monday to $137.50 in the New York Stock Exchange trading.Some analysts had hoped MK-869, would have helped protect Merck from the rash of patent expirations involving its major drugs in the next three years. The expirations will likely cause a flood of cheaper generic medicines and erode Merck's sales.MK-869 was also expected to shake up the $7 billion antidepressant market, now dominated by Eli Lilly's Prozac and Pfizer's Zoloft.Merck, based in Whitehouse Station, N.J., said it was evaluating its options related to MK-869. Merck initially expected to start final stage of human testing this year. Those plans have now been placed on hold.``This delay is clearly a major negative for Merck's stock,'' said Mariola Haggar, analyst with Deutsche Bank Securities.The problem with MK-869 places more pressure on Merck's other expected blockbuster, Vioxx, a drug for pain relief, she said. The Food and Drug Administration is expected to approve Vioxx later this year.Merck said it still plans to move ahead with studies to use MK-869 to help prevent nausea in chemotherapy patients 75.8 6 okay APW19990125.0320 some analysts had hoped MK-869 would have helped protect Merck from the rash of patent expirations Merck from the rash of patent expirations 's major drugs 75.8 6 okay NYT19990802.0355 would have helped protect Merck from the rash of patent expirations involving its major drugs in the next three years. 75.8 7 okay APW19990524.0212 NEW YORK (AP)-- Merck & Co. made a $5.2 billion profit last year on nearly $27 billion in sales. 75.8 7 okay APW19990524.0212 NEW YORK (AP)-- Merck Co. made a $5.2 billion profit last year on nearly $27 billion in sales. 75.8 8 okay XIE19960612.0075 a joint venture in east China 's Hangzhou city , which manufactures five kinds of pharmaceuticals invented by Merck 75.8 8 okay XIE19960612.0075 The US company also has a joint venture in east China's Hangzhou city, which manufactures five kinds of pharmaceuticals invented by Merck. 75.8 8 okay XIE19961003.0072 An American medicine company has donated a Chinese-version book on diseases affecting old people to health departments in Shanghai, China's largest city.Merck & Co., one of leading pharmaceutical research and production companies in the world, believes the book will help the elderly and medics effectively diagnose and treat diseases in old people.It is part of co-operation between Merck & Co. and China in medicine development and production, according to Raymond V Gilmarman, chairman and president of Merck & Co..He also said Merck & Co. is confident of China's potential market for medicines to treat diseases in old people.In China, about 20,000 people a day turn 60 years of age, and experts predicted that in 2030, one in every four Chinese people will be over 60.Merck & Co. has set up a pharmaceutical plant in Hangzhou and opened offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and other three cities 75.8 8 okay XIE19961003.0072 Merck & Co. has set up a pharmaceutical plant in Hangzhou and opened offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and other three cities. 75.8 8 okay XIE19961003.0072 Merck and Co. has set up a pharmaceutical plant in Hangzhou and opened offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and other three cities. 75.8 8 okay XIE19961003.0072 Merck & Co. has set up a pharmaceutical plant in Hangzhou and opened offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and other three cities 75.8 9 okay XIE19960612.0075 Merck, with its headquarters in New Jersey, the United States, has been at the forefront of developing and producing innovative vaccines for more than 100 years. 75.8 9 okay XIE19960612.0075 Merck with the region 's headquarters in New Jersey, the United States has been at the forefront of developing and producing innovative vaccines for more than 100 years 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 1944 _ Tacoma-born Bing Crosby is officially named No 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 '' 1944 _ Tacoma-born Bing Crosby is officially named No. 1 box-office star by Quigley Poll . 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 1944 _ Tacoma-born Bing Crosby is officially named No. 1 box-office star by Quigley Poll 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 1944 _ Tacoma-born Bing Crosby is officially named No. 1 box-office star by Quigley Poll. 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 birthplace: 1944, Tacoma-born Bing Crosby is officially named No. 1 box-office star by Quigley Poll. 76.8 1 vital NYT19981116.0127 Tacoma-born 76.8 2 okay APW19990112.0070 Douglas compared the event to the old Bing Crosby affair at Pebble Beach, which is now known as the ATT Classic -- only without the pros. 76.8 2 okay NYT19980725.0008 He confined his tournament play to sectionals and the occasional Bing Crosby Pro-Am, tying for third in the latter in 1974 76.8 2 okay NYT19990618.0187 ends several months of negotiations between the two groups over the sale of Pebble Beach, the legendary birthplace of the Bing Crosby Pro-Am Golf Tournament _ the ``Crosby Clambake,'' as some called it. 76.8 3 okay NYT20000327.0388 sites and all manner of related material.RAISING THE DEADGary Giddins , who is writing a biography of Bing Crosby for Little, Brown, told Talk magazine that his opinion of his subject changed as his research deepened.``When I set out, I believed that Bing Crosby was probably a son of a bitch.

Under Oregon law, the 17-year-old Kinkel could have been sentenced to as few as 25 years or as many as 220, experts say.Reports say Kinkel, in September, pleaded guilty and agreed to serve at least 25 years in prison for the murders, plus whatever the judge might be added. The judge crafted a combination of concurrent and consecutive sentences that added up to 111 years and 8 months.Kinkel's rampage began on May 20, 1998, after he was expelled from school for having a stolen pistol in his locker. He shot and killed his parents, teachers Bill and Faith Kinkel, then spent the night planting booby-trap bombs around their bodies.The next morning, dressed in a long trench coat, he walked into the cafeteria just before classes began and calmly pulled a.22- caliber semiautomatic rifle from his coat. Firing from his hip, he squeezed off 50 rounds in just 90 seconds.Ben Walker, 16, and Mikael Nickolauson, 17, were killed and 25 people were wounded.

His parents were later found shot to death in their home. He had been expelled from Springfield's Thurston High School a day before the May 21 shootings.New details from the aftermath of the shooting emerged during pretrial hearings Tuesday. Along with testimony, prosecutors played a videotaped walk-through of the rampage made in the cafeteria where the shooting had occurred hours earlier.On the tape, detectives ask Kinkel why he did it. ``I had no other choice,'' he replies.Kinkel then tells police how he walked into the cafeteria wearing a trenchcoat and armed with three guns and two knives 79.7 11 okay APW19990216.0188 Kinkel then tells police how he walked into the cafeteria wearing a trenchcoat and armed with three guns and two knives . 79.7 11 okay APW19990216.0188 Kinkel then tells police how he walked into the cafeteria wearing a trenchcoat and armed with three guns and two knives. 79.7 11 okay APW19990216.0188 walked into the cafeteria wearing a trenchcoat and armed with three guns and two knives 79.7 12 okay APW19990518.0244 It was that rifle that Kip used to fire off 50 rounds at Thurston High School. 79.7 12 okay NYT19991110.0481 a semiautomatic rifle in the school cafeteria, spraying the room with about 50 rounds in a minute 79.7 12 okay XIE19991111.0207 squeezed off 50 rounds in just 90 seconds 79.7 2 vital NYT19990424.0074 A boy who shot schoolmates in Springfield, Ore., last year, Kip Kinkel, once wrote a class essay about his fantasy of blowing up the school, and he was named, in his yearbook, ``Most Likely to Start World War III.'' 79.7 2 vital NYT19990424.0074 last year, Kip Kinkel, once wrote a class essay about his fantasy of blowing up the school, and he was named, in his yearbook, ``Most Likely to Start World War III. 79.7 2 vital NYT19990424.0076 A boy who shot schoolmates in Springfield, Ore., last year, Kip Kinkel, once wrote a class essay about his fantasy of blowing up the school, and he was named, in his yearbook, ``Most Likely to Start World War III.''

Lots of times, life sucked. With my parents, if I didn't do the best, I was an embarrassment to my parents.''Concerning the Thurston shootings, Kinkel told Bolstad, ``I knew people would be in cafeteria.

And there are people who do it for hoaxes.''Daddea says he thinks he has the real thing. That's why he took the dense, dark rock on Wednesday to the South Florida Science Museum in West Palm Beach, where planetarium director Erich Landstrom chipped off a piece of it to send to the Smithsonian for analysis.Landstrom doesn't have anything to say about the alleged meteorite until the results come back in about a month.``I get people every day telling me they've found a meteorite,'' said Eric Twelker, a lawyer in Juneau, Alaska, who owns an on-line meteorite sales business called The Meteorite Market. ``One guy's been pushing a piece of limestone on me for years.''Twelker buys and sells meteorites around the world. He has an inventory of about 500 meteorite chunks for sale and thousands of what he describes as ``little bitty things.''Meteorites are priced by the gram, and a 5-pound rock, something about the size of Daddea's find, could fetch thousands of dollars from a collector, Twelker said.Some meteorites are more significant than others. Most of them come from the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. When these asteroid chunks collide during their orbits, they break apart and Jupiter's gravitational power flings them into elliptical trajectories that cross Earth's path.But others are actually wayward pieces of our moon or other planets. A meteorite from Mars, a rarity, goes for about $2,000 per gram, Twelker said. (There are about 457 grams per pound.)One piece, weighing about a hundredth of an ounce, sold at auction this year for $4,600.``Our Earth receives at least 10 tons of meteoric dust every day,'' Horkheimer said.Entry into the Earth's atmosphere burns up most of the meteorites, turning them into flashes in the night sky but nothing big enough to make an impact on the ground.But a small number of meteorite chunks do manage to survive the scorching trip through our planet's atmosphere.

He said he discovered it while walking to the edge of his duck pond one morning and seeing the edge of the rock sticking out in the middle of a circular, pothole-size indentation in the soft, sandy soil.``It's definitely a meteorite,'' he said.The rock does display some of the characteristics of a meteorite.It attracts a magnet _ a vast majority of meteorites contain iron.It has a dark rind on the outer surface, which appears to be what's known as a fusion crust, a burned appearance created by the entry into Earth's atmosphere. And it also has an irregular shape marked by ``thumb prints,'' which the heat generated from entry causes in meteorites.But scientists perform specialized tests on possible meteorites, examining their crystal structure and pinpointing their composition to rule out earthly copycats.``There are things that are very difficult to fake,'' Twelker said.So Daddea's waiting for the test results to come back and starting to collect preliminary offers from collectors, he said.``I've been getting offers of several thousands of dollars for it,'' he said.``What about keeping it for yourself?'' I asked.Daddea said he'd have no use for a meteorite.``It's just a rock,'' he said.Story Filed By Cox NewspapersFor Use By Clients of the New York Times News 85.7 1 okay NYT19990105.0101 Norwegian Cruise Lines will present its newest vessel , the .... , and is now cutting the popular Majesty in half and expanding the Boston - to - Bermuda vessel by some 100 feet ; a new line , World Cruises , will begin bargain - priced around - the - world cruises in December . 85.7 1 okay NYT19990323.0103 How do you add 203 staterooms, a second swimming pool, and a second dining room to an existing cruise ship?

If I had put my lifeblood into a novel and then had someone come along and try to dissect it, I guess I would be a little hesitant.''We pause here for the Cliffs Notes history.Don't worry: It's the condensed version.It all began when Cliff Hillegass, native son of Rising City, Neb., became head of the wholesale division of the Nebraska Book Co. He traveled across the country, getting to know college-bookstore owners everywhere. One day he was chatting with his buddy and business associate, bookstore owner Jack Cole, who had introduced a line of condensed classics in Canada called Cole's Notes. Why don't you try to make it fly in the United States? Cole asked Hillegass.Hillegass tapped into his network of bookstore owners and took a temperature reading: Would something like Cliffs Notes sell in the United States? Could be, they said. So, in 1958, he got busy. On a handshake deal with a Lincoln printing company, he put out 2,000 copies of Notes on each of the 16 major plays of Shakespeare, with 1,000 extra copies of the Notes on ``Macbeth.''The rest, as they say, is history.Since then, critics have decried Cliffs Notes as literary butchery. They note, for example, that Herman Melville's ``Moby Dick'' is 595 pages; the Cliffs Notes version totals 96. Cliffs Notes dispatch Chapter 1 in two paragraphs; it takes Melville that long to introduce his main character, Ishmael.Several years ago, Pennsylvania's Villanova University went so far as to ban Cliffs Notes from its bookstore.You'd think that in their birthplace, at least, Cliffs Notes would get a little respect. Think again.``No, we don't carry them, and if we did, I wouldn't tell a soul,'' says Paul, a reference librarian at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln who doesn't want to give his last name. This is a scholarly place, he says; there's no room for Notes. He punches in the computer coordinates for the Bennett Martin Public Library and finds that, yes indeed, you can find Cliffs Notes there, 254 titles, everything from Tan's ``The Joy Luck Club'' to the New Testament. (``Ooh, don't tell me how it ends!'' Paul jokes.)One sector where Cliffs Notes get plenty of respect is among students in this Midwestern college town, where Cornhusker football reigns, the airport boasts four gates and everyone has a sturdy, corn-fed, vaguely Nordic look. At the college bookstore, employee Joyce Jensen has seen plenty of panic in the last 15 years.``(Students) come running in here all desperate,'' Jensen says. ``They get all disappointed when they find we've sold out of a certain (Cliffs Notes). And they think there's a Cliffs Notes for every single book ever published. There's not.''(Tubach assures such students that almost any title can be downloaded for $6 off the Internet at www.cliffs.com. Regular Notes cost between $3 and $5.)The use of the primers seems to have increased in recent times, says Jensen. ``Sad to say, kids aren't reading as much,'' she says. ``I think maybe they have 91.7 5 vital NYT19980826.0086 Started in 1958 by Cliff Hillegass, the Cliffs Notes publishing house is in Lincoln, Neb. 91.7 5 vital NYT19980826.0086 ` ` To use his words , he is very humbled , ' ' said Robert Covolik , the president of Cliffs Notes in Lincoln , Neb , and a longtime friend of Hillegass . 91.7 5 vital NYT19980826.0086 To use his words, he is very humbled,'' said Robert Covolik, the president of Cliffs Notes in Lincoln, Neb., and a longtime friend of Hillegass. `` 91.7 5 vital NYT19990824.0154 Started in 1958 by Cliff Hillegass , the Cliffs Notes publishing house is in Lincoln , Neb . 91.7 5 vital NYT19990824.0154 Started in 1958 by Cliff Hillegass, the Cliffs Notes publishing house is in Lincoln, Neb 91.7 5 vital NYT19990824.0154 Started in 1958 by Cliff Hillegass, the Cliffs Notes publishing house is in Lincoln, Neb. 91.7 5 vital NYT19990824.0154 Started in 1958 by Cliff Hillegass, the Cliffs Notes publishing house is in Lincoln, Neb.

Bragg realized he had a lot in common with Guthrie, though the two musicians were separated by a couple generations and an ocean.``Me and Woody had pretty different experiences _ he in the 1930s and '40s and me in the '70s and '80s _ but I think we came to similar conclusions,'' Bragg said.In 1992, Bragg was invited to perform at a memorial concert celebrating what would have been Guthrie's 80th birthday at New York's Central Park. (Guthrie died in 1967 of Huntington's chorea, a degenerative disorder of the nervous system.) It was there that Bragg met Guthrie's daughter, Nora Guthrie, who was establishing an archive of her father's music.Sensing a similarity between Bragg's music and her father's, Nora Guthrie gave Bragg photocopies of several of Woody Guthrie's songs.``Some of them were typed and some were handwritten,'' Bragg said. ``(Guthrie) took a correspondence course in typing as a teenager and he was a very fast typist. The lyrics for `Bound for Glory' were typed without punctuation.''With Nora Guthrie's encouragement, Bragg's interpretations of Guthrie's songs led to the creation of Bragg's new album, ``Mermaid Avenue,'' named for the Coney Island street where Guthrie and his family lived the late 1940s and early '50s. The extraordinary album features 15 previously unrecorded Guthrie songs, among them ``Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key,'' ``Hoodoo Voodoo'' and ``Christ for President,'' brought to life by Bragg and roots-rock band Wilco, with guest vocals on two songs by Natalie Merchant.``They're all complete songs,'' Bragg said of the Guthrie tunes on the album. ``But the music was not written down, it was carried in his head. There is no musical notation whatsoever.''Even so, Bragg and Wilco had little difficulty imagining what Guthrie may have had in mind when he wrote the songs.``As a songwriter, I sweat over my lyrics more than anything. So much of the effort goes into writing the lyrics and making them articulate something,'' Bragg said. ``But the music just flows. I hear the music as I write the words. So all I had to do with Woody's lyrics was sit down and feel the tunes. And if the music didn't fit, I'd try another song.''Occasionally, Guthrie, as if speaking from the afterlife, gave Bragg little clues.Bragg was startled to discover a song Guthrie had written in the early '50s titled ``My Flying Saucer.'' To Bragg, the song was evidence Guthrie was ahead of his time, forging sounds that would later reach the mainstream.``I would not expect Woody Guthrie to write a song that might end up on `The X-Files,' '' Bragg said.Even more surprising, Guthrie had written the words ``supersonic boogie'' in the upper left hand corner of the page, where he often indicated a song's tempo.Fascinated by the uncharacteristic phrase, Bragg was inspired to try something different.``I heard the little guy's voice whispering in my ear, and he said, `Go on, Bill, I dare you. I dare you to take one of the sacred texts of St. Woody Guthrie and play it to a supersonic boogie.'``I thought, All right, Woody boy, I'll take you up on it. You wrote these two little words, almost 50 years ago, for me to pick up on. And I'm going to run with it.''Bragg said he was encouraged by the response the album has received from those who were close to Guthrie, including folk musician Fred Hellerman.``These are people who are very, very concerned, but also very, very old,'' Bragg said. ``And they want to know that this legacy is going to be passed on.''Bragg said he is often asked if Guthrie is relevant today.``Ask Beck that question,'' he said. ``Who else is more cutting edge than Beck? And there he is quoting Woody Guthrie, copping licks off Woody, talking about Woody in interviews.''Bragg is still chuckling over a recent magazine article in which Beck said Guthrie was sexy but folk veteran Pete Seeger, whose friendship with Guthrie began in the '30s, was not.The subject came up later at the Woody Guthrie archive, located at the New York office of talent manager Harold Leventhal, who also represents Seeger. Leventhal's wife, Natalie, offered a recollection of Guthrie's sex appeal.``She and I were standing by the copy machine and she said, `You didn't know Woody, did you?' And I said, `No, Natalie, no I didn't.'``At that point, she sort of looked off into the distance and said, `Well, you know, Woody was a scrawny little guy with a big nose and sort of black fuzzy hair . . . But, by God, he was sexy.'``That kind of stuff is just priceless.

Woody wrote down the words _ but not the tunes _ while living on Mermaid Avenue on Coney Island after World War II. Woody's daughter Nora Guthrie, curator of the Woody Guthrie Archive in New York, approached Bragg about setting the songs to music. The album has been hailed by critics as one of the year's best.Woody is on one of four folk-singer stamps issued on June 26, along with Huddie ``Leadbelly'' Ledbetter, Josh White and Sonny Terry.In December, the Smithsonian will launch a traveling exhibit on Woody's life and legacy, including home movies, diaries, drawings, lyrics, photographs and recordings, including the landmark interviews Woody taped in 1940 with folklorist Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress.The essential Woody:Beginning in 1944, Woody recorded more than 150 original and traditional songs for Folkways Records. In 1987, the Folkways archives were acquired by the Smithsonian, and they are now available on the Smithsonian/Folkways label.

His predecessor, James Kerasiotes, was fired after a federal audit charged him with concealing a $2 billion cost overrun.Known officially as the Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel Project, the Big Dig will bury three miles of Interstate 93 beneath downtown Boston. It was originally expected to cost $2.6 billion, but the federal government now puts the price tag at $13.6 billion.The project was widely viewed as a drain on state finances and a hassle for hundreds of thousands of commuters -- even before allegations of mismanagement.Some of Boston's best-known and most politically connected consultants were dismissed from the Big Dig, such as media strategist George Regan, a longtime confidante of Kerasiotes, and the lobbying firm GPC O'Neill, headed by former Lieut. Gov. Thomas P. O'Neill III.''We have reviewed these consulting contracts and have determined that they are not necessary and 102.7 5 okay NYT20000411.0226 IRED (Washington), Gov.

Frank Wolf, R-Va., head of the House Appropriations transportation panel, also wants an independent audit of Big Dig finances and suggested subpoenas may be necessary to ensure everything comes out.Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater said it was unacceptable that project officials were not more forthcoming about costs but told Wolf's panel he must complete a review of a report released Monday by the inspector general before deciding whether to take action.In his report, Kenneth Mead documented cost construction overruns of at least $942 million and chastised state and federal transportation officials for ``an alarming lapse in oversight.''The three-mile Big Dig project, officially called the Central Artery-Third Harbor Tunnel, goes through downtown Boston. It was started in 1993 and was supposed to be finished next year, but delays have pushed back the completion date to perhaps as late as 2006.Three months ago, the Federal Highway Administration and Big Dig officials objected to a draft version of the inspector general's report, claiming the cost estimates were exaggerated.But last week, Big Dig officials revealed the project would cost more than $13.2 billion, about $1.4 billion more than previously estimated. That admission came only hours after the FHA, charged with overseeing the project, had signed off on the Big Dig's yearly finance plan. It did not mention the overruns.Wolf, a longtime critic of the project, said protestations about the draft report look like ``deliberate deceit.'' He asked whether there might be a ``civil or criminal penalty for not telling the truth'' in this situation.He said neither Big Dig officials nor the FHA could be trusted to provide information about costs and that an independent agency with subpoena power should conduct an audit.Big Dig spokesman Jeremy Crockford denied wrongdoing.``We have been working very closely with Federal Highway since the beginning.

Danjaq produced 18 of the 20 Bond movies released since ``Dr. No'' in 1962.The settlement involves a $5 million payment by Sony Pictures Entertainment to MGM and effectively makes permanent a preliminary injunction issued by a court in July 1998, prohibiting the Sony parties from making Bond movies in the United States, MGM said.Steuber said that MGM in turn paid Sony $10 million for the international rights to the movies and certain specific rights to the 1967 James Bond movie ``Casino Royale.'' The parties also agreed to a worldwide prohibition on Sony making Bond movies, Steuber said.MGM filed suit in federal court in 1997 when Sony announced its intention to develop a Bond film. The case had been scheduled to go to trial next month.The dispute hinged on rights controlled by Kevin McClory, a writer and producer who produced the Bond films ``Thunderball'' in 1965 and `` 108.7 8 okay APW19990329.0116 Sony gave up MGM's fight to make a James Bond film under terms of multimillion -

Amway's army of more than 1 million distributors won't be hawking fund shares at neighborhood coffee klatches or at the office water cooler. Nor will they seek to sign up their friends and neighbors to sell the fund in the type of multilevel marketing plan for which the company is famous.For now, at least, Amway distributors are the target buyers, not sellers, of shares of the Amway Mutual fund. ``This is not soap, where we market to our distributors and they sell to customers and receive bonuses based on sales,'' said James Rosloniec, an Amway vice president who oversees the company's mutual fund efforts. ``But we would like to make the fund more noticeable.''In short, Amway wants its $162 million stock fund to grow and possibly multiply into a family of mutual funds. That, in turn, could let Amway funds expand into corporate retirement plans and, thus, reach more investors outside the Amway family circle.Amway, whose $7 billion in worldwide sales makes it one of the country's largest privately held companies, is not a newcomer to the mutual fund game.

The world-famous Longwood, in the Brandywine area, 30 miles west of Philadelphia near Kennett Square, Pa., is the extraordinary creation of industrialist Pierre Samuel du Pont (1870-1954). A Quaker farming family first owned the land, which du Pont purchased in 1906 to save the trees on the land; the name, Longwood, is taken from the Quaker meetinghouse built in 1859 and located a few miles to the south.This 1,050-acre horticultural showplace attracts more than 800,000 visitors a year, which means visitors should prepare for overcrowding on holidays and special weekends. Longwood has one of the world's largest conservatories, 20 outdoor and 20 indoor gardens within four acres of greenhouses, a topiary garden, and 11,000 types of plants. One of the most eye-catching displays is the Lily Display Garden, an outdoor aquatic display featuring tropical and hardy water lilies on giant platters, in bloom from July to October.Special events and themes occur year round. This year's Easter display runs March 27-April 9 when lilies, daffodils, freesias, and tulips fill the indoor gardens. From April 10 through May 28, ``Acres of Spring'' features tens of thousands of daffodils, along with blossoming magnolias, forsythias, and flowering cherries. The summer's ``Festival of Fountains'' highlights annual and perennial flowers, as well as alfresco concerts and water displays in three fountain gardens. During the year, there are about 400 performing arts events, from concerts on the Longwood's world-famous 10,010-pipe organ to fully staged outdoor musical productions.Another du Pont site is the Hagley Museum and Library, in the Delaware section of the Brandywine River Valley. Although understandably overshadowed by its more prominent neighbors, this 240-acre site is home to a phenomenal ruin garden, which features exquisitely beautiful broken mosaics and crumbled columns. The Hagley also maintains a formal French vegetable garden.French gardens also are the highlight at Nemours, a re-creation of French chateau country north of Wilmington. The 300-acre estate was the residence of Alfred I. du Pont, and is a legacy of the French architectural and gardening traditions that were part of his heritage. The grounds include animal sculptures, fountains, and sunken gardens. Colonnades, gates, and figurines add to the architectural splendor.Northwest of Wilmington is the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, a 60-acre garden on the 1,000-acre estate that has been in du Pont ownership since 1811 and was the former country estate of Henry Francis. Unlike Longwood or Nemours, Winterthur draws its inspiration directly from nature. For example, the gorgeous eight-acre azalea woods, in the main part of the garden, were created from the gaping holes left in the canopies after a chestnut blight struck the area in 1911. Winterthur is more known as a world-class museum of American decorative arts, and visitors discover that the outside art of the year-round gardens complement the treasures found indoors.Closer to Philadelphia, in Merion, just west of the city, is the Arboretum of the Barnes Foundation, which houses the 1,000-piece world-famous art collection of Dr. Albert C. Barnes (1982-1951). Plants were selected for their color, texture, seasonal change, and floral display. Barnes handled the paintings, while his wife, Laura, tended to the garden, making it a living art gallery, with plants and flowers selected for visual and aesthetic values. A collection of nearly 200 lilacs was originally selected for its color, graduating from lighter to deeper shades of purple. There now are more than 250 lilac varieties, a rose and peony garden, crabapples, and a woodland on the arboretum's 12 acres.America's oldest surviving botanical garden, Historic Bartram's Garden, is tucked away in a 44-acre tract of land in West Philadelphia along the Schuylkill River. As a garden, it grew the notable plants of the continent; it was also the meeting place for Colonial politicians and scientists, and is credited with saving the Franklinia alatamaha tree from extinction. On May 18 through 23, Bartram's will be celebrating its 300th anniversary with special events, including a living history festival.Another Colonial garden landmark in the city is Wyck, home to nine generations of the same Quaker Philadelphia family, the Wistars and Haineses, from 1690-1973.The country's first horticultural society, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, founded in 1827 and located next to the headquarters of Independence Park 115.8 10 okay NYT19990406.0105 arts events , from concerts on the Longwood 's world-famous 10,010-pipe organ to fully staged outdoor musical productions 115.8 10 okay NYT19990406.0105 During the year, there are about 400 performing arts events, from concerts on the Longwood's world-famous 10,010-pipe organ to fully staged outdoor musical productions. 115.8 10 okay NYT19990406.0105 there are about 400 performing arts events from concerts on the Longwood's world - famous 10,010 - pipe organ to fully staged outdoor musical productions 115.8 10 okay NYT19990406.0105 world-famous 10,010-pipe organ 115.8 10 okay NYT20000711.0100 One of the world's largest organs with 10,010 pipes, also housed in the conservatory complex, rumbled in the background. 115.8 1 vital NYT20000711.0100 century two cousins living six miles apart on opposite sides of the Delaware/Pennsylvania border created two very fine gardens.

The roots, which hibernate until spring, can make a potent starch. She knows not to waste any parts.``I would like to challenge the people of the Southeast to take all the kudzu vines that go up the trees, pull them out and put them to work,'' she says. ``When Americans find out what they can do with kudzu, they will realize how valuable it is.''Kudzu valuable?Over the past century, the creeping vines have earned the appellation ``Green Menace.'' Kudzu originally was spread to curb soil erosion on Southern farms. Too late, farmers found it was virtually unstoppable. The U.S. Forest Service estimates kudzu covers 7 million acres of the South, smothering everything in its path with green leaves and purple blossoms.Southerners and scientists alike call the plant an annoying weed, ``the vine that ate the South.'' Edith, the queen of kudzu, is more philosophical: ``Lots of things are a nuisance. You just have to take control of it.''The 73-year-old farmer's wife has plumbed kudzu's potential for 30 years, and her business, Kudzu Konnection, is attracting attention all across the South.Edith and her husband, Henry, turn their 10 acres of kudzu into wreaths, baskets, potato chip-like snacks, quiche, tea, syrup, paper, furniture, medicines. They also feed it to the horses and cattle on their 400-acre farm.``It's a hobby grown into a business,'' she says, proudly fingering a glass jar of freshly made kudzu jelly. ``We won't get rich, but we'll educate people, and it's fun.''Kudzu Konnection has been around about 15 years. Edwards incorporated the company the same year a Charlotte broadcaster dubbed her the ``Kudzu Queen,'' a nickname that has extended to her family.Her daughter, Caroline Edwards, 40, has been christened the ``Kudzu Kid'' after inheriting her mom's passion.``It can be used for anything.

The roots, which hibernate until spring, can make a potent starch. She knows not to waste any parts.``I would like to challenge the people of the Southeast to take all the kudzu vines that go up the trees, pull them out and put them to work,'' she says. ``When Americans find out what they can do with kudzu, they will realize how valuable it is.''Kudzu valuable?Over the past century, the creeping vines have earned the appellation ``Green Menace.'' Kudzu originally was spread to curb soil erosion on Southern farms. Too late, farmers found it was virtually unstoppable. The U.S. Forest Service estimates kudzu covers 7 million acres of the South, smothering everything in its path with green leaves and purple blossoms.Southerners and scientists alike call the plant an annoying weed, ``the vine that ate the South.'' Edith, the queen of kudzu, is more philosophical: ``Lots of things are a nuisance. You just have to take control of it.''The 73-year-old farmer's wife has plumbed kudzu's potential for 30 years, and her business, Kudzu Konnection, is attracting attention all across the South.Edith and her husband, Henry, turn their 10 acres of kudzu into wreaths, baskets, potato chip-like snacks, quiche, tea, syrup, paper, furniture, medicines. They also feed it to the horses and cattle on their 400-acre farm.``It's a hobby grown into a business,'' she says, proudly fingering a glass jar of freshly made kudzu jelly. ``We won't get rich, but we'll educate people, and it's fun.''Kudzu Konnection has been around about 15 years. Edwards incorporated the company the same year a Charlotte broadcaster dubbed her the ``Kudzu Queen,'' a nickname that has extended to her family.Her daughter, Caroline Edwards, 40, has been christened the ``Kudzu Kid'' after inheriting her mom's passion.``It can be used for anything.

Providence Canyon, an hour south of Columbus, is itself an emblem of the forces that brought kudzu to the South. Once home to cotton farmers, the land eroded to a depth of 150 feet from poor soil management. As the ``canyons'' widened, structures plunged into the cracks, including the 19th century Providence United Methodist Church building that gave the region its name. Despite the planting of kudzu there, erosion continues.Which goes to show that kudzu can't solve every soil problem. Flora Tolar's father must have sensed this back in the 1930s, because every time the Civilian Conservation boys came by to plant kudzu near his Mississippi farm, he'd dig it up again.Even so, the plant took hold. ``We have hundreds of acres around us,'' says Tolar, 66, who is Hoots' Mississippi counterpart. ``If I didn't 117.7 5 okay NYT19990723.0192 The state of Florida and the city of Tallahassee are using small herds of sheep to control invasive pest plants. 117.7 6 okay NYT19990723.0192 Goats and front end loaders are two of the weapons that we deploy in our war against kudzu, a war we 've been losing for four decades. 117.7 6 okay NYT19990723.0192 Goats and front end loaders are two of the weapons that we deploy in our war against kudzu, a war we've been losing for four decades. 117.7 6 okay NYT19990723.0192 GOATS & FRONT END LOADERS ARE 2 OF THE WEAPONS THAT WE DEPLOY IN OUR WAR AGAINST KUDZU A WAR WE'VE BEEN LOSING FOR 4 DECADES 117.7 6 okay NYT19990723.0192 Instead of growing his own kudzu, he loaned 160 goats to a neighbor who has 30 acres of timber being eaten up by the vines. 117.7 6 okay NYT19990723.0192 Yet as big guns in the war on kudzu, goats have a few weaknesses. 117.7 6 okay NYT20000207.0074 Researchers at Tuskegee University have found that Angora goats can eat kudzu to a standoff, but not everybody wants Angora goats. In fact, almost nobody wants goats of any sort 117.7 7 vital APW20000110.0021 Edith Edwards picks the kudzu leaves one by one in the cool of the evening, piling them neatly as she thinks of the meals and medicines she can make from the shimmery green plant.The vines, withering now, can be woven into fine wreaths and baskets. The roots, which hibernate until spring, can make a potent starch. She knows not to waste any parts.``I would like to challenge the people of the Southeast to take all the kudzu vines that go up the trees, pull them out and put them to work,'' she says. ``When Americans find out what they can do with kudzu, they will realize how valuable it is.''Kudzu valuable?Over the past century, the creeping vines have earned the appellation ``Green Menace.'' Kudzu originally was spread to curb soil erosion on Southern farms. Too late, farmers found it was virtually unstoppable. The U.S. Forest Service estimates kudzu covers 7 million acres of the South, smothering everything in its path with green leaves and purple blossoms.Southerners and scientists alike call the plant an annoying weed, ``the vine that ate the South.'' Edith, the queen of kudzu, is more philosophical: ``Lots of things are a nuisance. You just have to take control of it.''The 73-year-old farmer's wife has plumbed kudzu's potential for 30 years, and her business, Kudzu Konnection, is attracting attention all across the South.Edith and her husband, Henry, turn their 10 acres of kudzu into wreaths, baskets, potato chip-like snacks, quiche, tea, syrup, paper, furniture, medicines. They also feed it to the horses and cattle on their 400-acre farm.``It's a hobby grown into a business,'' she says, proudly fingering a glass jar of freshly made kudzu jelly. ``We won't get rich, but we'll educate people, and it's fun.''Kudzu Konnection has been around about 15 years. Edwards incorporated the company the same year a Charlotte broadcaster dubbed her the ``Kudzu Queen,'' a nickname that has extended to her family.Her daughter, Caroline Edwards, 40, has been christened the ``Kudzu Kid'' after inheriting her mom's passion.``It can be used for anything. You can build with it, you can eat it and it's a medicine,'' Caroline says. ``But it took us 15 years to learn 117.7 7 vital APW20000110.0021 kudzu covers 7 million acres of the South , smothering everything in its path with green leaves and purple blossoms 117.7 7 vital APW20000110.0021 Kudzu originally was spread to curb soil erosion on Southern farms.

Like Carson, he said, he spent time in his youth wandering his family's farm in Carthage, Tenn., ``looking for critters'' and learning to love nature.He recalled how, when he was a teenager, his mother bought a copy of ``Silent Spring'' and then spent the next few weeks over the breakfast table discussing with Gore and his sister, Nancy, the book's warning against pesticides and other chemicals.Where Carson had started studying the environment as a teen-ager, publishing her first article at age 14, Gore recalled studying at Harvard University under professor Roger Revelle, a pioneer in researching the atmospheric effects of carbon dioxide.``A long time ago,'' Gore told several hundred people gathered on the lawn of a high school here, ``I joined with the spirit of Rachel Carson in committing myself to a new springtime filled with the sounds of wild birds, with the sounds of children learning about and appreciating the environment.''Carson's work has been criticized by chemical manufacturers and some prominent scientists. She has been accused of overstating the case against pesticides, of abandoning objectivity for bitter polemics.

But the Revolution had produced lots of local heroes. Revere was just one brave patriot among many, until Longfellow came along.In his own realm, Longfellow too was a hero. One of the first American poets to write about American subjects, he was also the first to introduce American readers to modern European languages and poetry (``Hiawatha,'' for instance, employed a Finnish folk-meter completely alien to New World readers).Like Revere, Longfellow was a patriot. And in 1860, with civil war looking inevitable, he decided, through poetry, to remind his countrymen of their shared heritage. The result was ``Paul Revere's Ride.''But Longfellow was more than a patriot; he was a poet, too, and he knew the demands of poetry aren't the same as the demands of history. To emphasize the point of Revere's ride (``the fate of a nation was riding that night''), Longfellow took many liberties with the real story, altering the facts in order to dramatize them.For example, the famous lantern signal (``One if by land, and two if by sea/ And I on the opposite shore will be'') was not flashed to Revere but to his compatriots in Charlestown; Revere was still in Boston when the signal was sent.It's much more dramatic, however, to have Revere himself, not some nameless men from across the river, eagerly watching the belfry. And it's much more exciting to have Revere ride not just to Lexington but Concord too, although in reality he never made it to Concord (he was stopped by a British patrol).But the biggest change Longfellow made _ and the change which makes the poem so good _ was his dramatic portrayal of Revere as the brave lone rider who saves his country, when in reality, his role in saving the country was as a part of a highly organized group. In short, Revere was brave indeed, but he was hardly ever alone that night.``Paul Revere's Ride'' was an instant hit (except with historians). It made its local hero a national treasure, and it presented a whole new look to the American Revolution, a look which, however inaccurate, has remained a lively part of our view of the past for more than 100 years.On the recent anniversary of Paul Revere's real ride, what lesson can Paul Revere's imaginary ride teach us?Just this: Art accompanied by a ``based on a true story'' tag line should be regarded with a great deal of skepticism.

As Big Oil adapted over the past decade to an era of cheaper prices, cutting production costs and many thousands of jobs, OPEC members have become ever more dependent on high oil revenues, according to Peter Bogin, an analyst at Cambridge Energy Research Associates in Paris. The huge oversupply, which could persist for months or years, might force OPEC members to find ways to become less dependent on a market they no longer can control, he said. ``They have to say, `What's our role as a cartel, if we are a cartel, or can we accept dlrs 6 or dlrs 8 oil?'' 128.6 10 okay APW20000121.0192 OPEC, an often undisciplined cartel, was able to hold down production 128.6 10 okay NYT19991206.0019 who have regularly violated here's production quotas in order to reap as much profit 128.6 10 okay NYT20000327.0264 That is because OPEC nations are already cheating on their own restrictions, overshooting their official limit of 23 million barrels a day by about 1 million barrels. 128.6 10 okay NYT20000715.0071 Nonetheless, OPEC is a fractious and fallible operation, composed of 12 sovereign states with varied national interests 128.6 10 okay NYT20000726.0151 Many OPEC members were already exceeding their production quotas, producing at or near capacity before the new agreement went into effect. 128.6 10 okay XIE19961112.0204 Both oil prices and oil production have been higher than the targets set by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). 128.6 10 okay XIE19990308.0061 The OPEC is hampered by bickerings over compliance with oil output cuts agreed 128.6 10 okay XIE19990715.0042 ABU DHABI, July 14 (Xinhua) -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Venezuela Wednesday reiterated the need for all members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to abide by their production quotas to protect oil prices. 128.6 10 okay XIE19990919.0018 Speaking at the GCC oil ministers ' meeting in Saudi capital Riyadh , the United Arab Emirates ( UAE ) oil minister Obeid bin Saif Al Nasir , who chaired the session , said " members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC ) should abide by their March production restriction agreement " 128.6 10 okay XIE20000401.0058 Madaj called on all OPEC members to honor their quotas and production ceilings. 128.6 11 vital APW19980623.0478 The U.S., a leading oil-consuming country, has been lobbying OPEC to raise output to lower the surging oil prices. 128.6 11 vital APW19981124.0396 STEVENS OF DUNDEE UNIVERSITY ADDED THE IDEA THAT THE U.S. CAN BANG THE TABLE & TELL OPEC & SAUDI ARABIA WHAT TO DO IS DIVORCED FROM REALITY 128.6 11 vital XIE20000401.0058 Iraq has been calling on the OPEC to resist for pumping more oil the U.

A powerful earthquake 100 miles off the coast of Chile in 1960 caused a tsunami that inundated the Japanese coastline, killing 119.Until now, the only way to predict these waves has been to monitor distant earthquakes and guess the likely speed, size and direction of any tsunami they might produce.

About 20 of the estimated 121 tsunami victims were outside Alaska as the waves ravaged other parts of the West Coast.In Hawaii, tsunamis are the deadliest natural threat, blamed for more than 300 deaths since the 1940s.Over the past century, there has been an average of one damaging tsunami per year in the Pacific basin, with a 100-year toll of about 70,000 people. In just three years, from 1992-1994, a half dozen tsunamis over 15 feet (4.6-meter) tall killed more than 2,300 people.But the threat has taken on new urgency with evidence in the past 15 years that a coastal earthquake zone from Northern California to British Columbia _ the Cascadia subduction zone, where plates of the Earth's crust are colliding _ is capable of generating giant quakes that could send tsunamis crashing ashore in a matter of minutes.It really hit home in April 1992, when a 7.2-magnitude quake struck off the coast of California's Humboldt County.``It created a massive amount of damage in Northern California ... and it produced a small tsunami'' about 1-3 feet (10 centimeters) high, said Eddie Bernard, director of the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory here and chairman of the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program.``Now, this was the first time that California had had a subduction-zone earthquake and an accompanying tsunami,'' Bernard said. ``That woke up everybody.''Before that, officials had believed there would be hours of lead time for a tsunami threat.``Humboldt really turned all of that on its head,'' said Richard Eisner, regional administrator for the coastal region of California's emergency-services agency.The U.S. Senate asked the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to assess the threat and state preparedness. But as Bernard began organizing meetings, he found that the federal officials responsible for issuing tsunami warnings, and the local officials responsible for dealing with the results, didn't know much about each other.A steering group of representatives from federal agencies and the five states came up with a three-pronged approach:Hazard assessment. A center was set up last year in Newport, Ore., to help produce ``tsunami inundation maps,'' showing coastal areas that would be flooded by tsunamis. Local officials can use the maps to plot evacuation routes or decide locations for critical facilities such as fire stations and hospitals.Warning guidance. The region's network of seismic stations is being expanded and upgraded to better track the source and type of earthquakes for NOAA's tsunami warning centers at Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Palmer, Alaska. A series of at-sea buoys that detect water-pressure changes also is planned, to detect tsunamis and determine their size. And research and warning centers are integrating their computer systems, so each can have access to data from the others' arrays of seismometers.Mitigation. The ``tsunami hazard zone'' signs are one example, along with signs marking evacuation routes, informational brochures, school-evacuation drills, warning systems such as sirens, and other local efforts.The ``inundation maps'' offer insights, but aren't intended to dictate land-use planning.``What you can say is that in general, if an earthquake occurs like we envision and if a tsunami is produced like we envision, then this area will probably be flooded,'' Bernard said.``If your house is in the middle of it, that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get blown away, but I would recommend that you 130.7 9 okay APW19980617.1399 The threat is not new.Most of the 132 people killed in a 1964 Alaska earthquake were victims of tsunamis.

Kinmen remains heavily fortified. 137.7 6 okay APW20000316.0013 Between the windswept coastlines of this Taiwanese island and mainland China is a narrow strait of choppy waters, guarded day and night on both sides by soldiers and heavy artillery.But despite the Chinese guns pointing at Kinmen, also known as Quemoy, this military outpost two miles from China seems unworried about Beijing's latest threats of war.''We don't feel the pressure or tension from China anymore. We just go about our business quietly,'' says fisherman Ou Yang Yan-chun, standing beside his fleet of two fishing boats in Kinmen's harbor.''I rarely hear the sound of guns these days,'' says Ou Yang, recalling the 1950s when Kinmen was an almost daily target of a Chinese artillery bombardment.Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Party held on to Kinmen after it lost mainland China to Mao Zedong's Communists in 1949. Beijing still views Taiwan to be a renegade province that must be taken back by force if necessary.Last month, Beijing issued a new threat, warning that it would attack if Taiwan rebuffed indefinitely talks about reunifying. Military experts often name Kinmen as a target that China might try to take hostage to get the rest of Taiwan to agree to its demands.China's recent harsh words came at a sensitive time, with Taiwan preparing to hold its second direct presidential election on March 18. During the first presidential vote in 1996, China tested nuclear-capable missiles near Taiwan's two largest ports.Campaign buntings and flags provide the few bursts of color against the backdrop of crumbling courtyard homes made of brick and stone. All three of the top candidates have visited Kinmen and have promised development for the military outpost of 50,000 people.Kinmen remains heavily fortified. The few beaches open to the public still have metal spikes jutting out of the waters, and many areas along the coast are still protected by barbed wire signs that read ''Danger Mines.''A makeshift stage has been set up in downtown Kinmen to receive ruling party candidate Vice President Lien Chan, and taxi drivers fly pennants of independent candidate James Soong.Many polls in Taiwan report a growing reluctance for reunification with mainland China, but for residents like Ni chen-kuo, a 47-year old cleaner at Kinmen's harbor, the future lies with the thriving southern Chinese city of Xiamen across the Taiwan Strait.Direct air links from Taiwan to Xiamen would bring more tourists and more jobs, Ni said.''This place is so small, there are so few ways to do business. We really hope the government can start direct links to over there,'' says Ni, pointing to the waters beyond Kinmen harbor's concrete military watchtower.To appease the many businessmen chafing at the restrictions of the ban on direct links with China, Lien has proposed setting up a peace zone in Kinmen and another outlying island, Matsu, to allow direct shipping links with the mainland. But this all depends on China giving Taiwan ''concrete signs of goodwill,'' which Lien hasn't further defined.Legal links with the mainland could make life easier for Mu Chi-lin, 37 137.7 6 okay APW20000316.0013 development for the military outpost of 50,000 people 137.7 6 okay NYT20000315.0339 51,000 civilian residents and 20,000 soldiers on Kinmen 137.7 6 okay NYT20000315.0339 favor of eventual reunification with the mainland.Chang, strategic adviser to opposition candidate Chen, acknowledged Wednesday that Kinmen, Matsu, and other front-line islands ``are not defendable.''

Chiang led weekend battle commemorations on Kinmen, joining veterans in visits to military memorials and graves of some of the approximately 600 soldiers and civilians who died in the conflict, which was followed by two decades of symbolic every-other-day artillery exchanges. President Lee Teng-hui praised the ``glorious sacrifice'' of the conflict's victims in remarks Sunday before a ruling Nationalist Party conference in Taipei. ``It was the victory in the August 23 artillery battle that settled the foundation for (Taiwan's) ensuing 40 years of prosperity,'' Lee told party delegates.
