HURRICANE GEORGES THREATENS CARIBBEAN
Hurricane Georges, recently upgraded to a Category 4 hurricane, was
expected to hit the Caribbean late yesterday or early this morning. Around
4.6 million people were in the path of the potentially devastating storm’s
winds, registered at up to 150 miles per hour. The hurricane is rated
comparable to 1989’s Hurricane Hugo or 1992’s Hurricane Andrew, which both
caused extensive damage. The storm may hit the United States by late this
week.
MORE CLINTON TESTIMONY SET FOR RELEASE
The House Judiciary Panel plans to release further Clinton-Lewinsky
material at 9:00 AM today, including a video of the President’s August 17
grand jury testimony and 2800 pages of written evidence. Several television
networks will show the tape immediately after release, without any review.
In addition, many web sites plan to make the video available. The four
hours of testimony are reputed to show Clinton as angry and stubborn, with
less-than-flattering body language.
