WEATHER FORECAST
Today: Sunny and breezy. Highs in the mid 60’s.
Don’t tell anyone…
Tonight: Mostly clear. Lows in the low 40’s.
But I figured out a way of beating the housing system.
Tomorrow: Increasing cloudiness. Highs in the upper 60’s.
It’s called getting a good lottery number.
NEWS REPORT

ALL SORTS OF PROGRESS…
In the first high-level meeting between Russian and American officials
since the NATO attack on Serbia began, Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright met with Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov yesterday in Norway.
The diplomats discussed the need for peace-keeping forces in Kosovo; though
no conclusions were reached, talks between Russia and the United States
will continue. …Dr. Jack Kevorkian was sentenced yesterday to 10 – 25

Sudanese government and the rebel Sudanese People’s Liberation Army have
