WEATHER FORECAST
Today: Partly cloudy. High in the low 60s.
Sometimes I wonder if the weather report is the only part of the
Daily Gazette that people actually read.
Tonight: Partly cloudy. Low in the mid 40s.
Then I wonder if people read these witty little comments under
the forecasts, or if they only care about the numbers.
Tomorrow: Partly cloudy. High in the low 60s.
I guess if you’re reading this, you care. Thanks.
NEWS REPORT

US AND RUSSIA DISCUSS KOSOVO; CHERNOBYL VIRUS HITS ASIA
Representatives of the U.S. and Russia met yesterday in Moscow to
discuss the conflict in Kosovo. They shared concerns over Kosavar
refugees, who are fleeing into Macedonia as overcrowded U.N. camps are
forced to turn them away. …Thousands of computers crashed in the Middle East
and Asia as a result of infection from the Chernobyl virus, officials reported
yesterday. The virus, which struck on Monday, erases computers’ hard drives
and prevents them from restarting. …At least 35 people were killed and 42
injured in Jhukia, India, when a bus carrying wedding guests crashed into a
