North Korea ready to open weapons program dialogue

By Abdullah AlShihri and Paul Shin · Tuesday, Oct. 22,2002 2:58 a.m.

SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea said Monday that it was willing to negotiate over its nuclear weapons program if the United States withdraws its "hostile policy" toward the communist country. The comments by Kim Yong Nam, the North's ceremonial head of state, were unlikely to mollify the United States, which has said North Korea's nuclear program is a nonnegotiable issue and must be dismantled immediately.

Palestinians and Israelis inflict terror on each other

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 22,2002 2:52 a.m.

While sitting at the Royal Café on Kirkwood one afternoon chatting with a girl about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, I brought up the time in mid-July when Israel dropped a one-ton bomb in a crowded Gaza apartment building. This act murdered 15 people, nine of them children, to assassinate one militant. Her explanation for the death of innocent Palestinians claimed that the militant purposely surrounded himself with children. This implies that Palestinians are by nature inhuman, and would simply volunteer their children to be blown up like firecrackers.

Sniper needs a life

By George Lyle IV · Tuesday, Oct. 22,2002 2:49 a.m.

I have a message for the serial sniper in Virginia. Who do you think you are? What kind of a sad life have you led up to this point? You are one of few people in this world who have some sort of demented fun by peering at the world through the eyes of a gun sight. Shooting random people and taunting the police by deliberately going against typical psycho-killer profiles.

Blurring the lines of courtesy

By Jamieson Hawkins · Tuesday, Oct. 22,2002 2:47 a.m.

So imagine if you will that you are an attractive college woman who is just concluding a night on the town with your friends (we'll say you just left the Bluebird). You now wait patiently on the sidewalk for your sober ride/taxi to pick you up and safely drive you home. Low and behold, the waft of pizza and hot dogs manages to find you through all the surrounding madness, so you decide to surrender the two dollars for a lovely piece of Rocket's pepperoni pizza.

Don't jump the gun on new laws

By Alyson Brodsy and Ryan Gunterman · Tuesday, Oct. 22,2002 2:42 a.m.

After the 1999 high school shooting in Columbine, Colo., the Clinton administration and those in Congress pushed through "ground breaking" gun control laws. Because of the quick reaction of U.S. lawmakers, it was then required to place trigger locks on all new handguns, the age for buying guns was raised from 18 to 21 and the importing of high-capacity ammunition clips became unlawful. To this day, those laws have not been enacted.

'Zabriskie Point' puts spin on '60s

By Roman Bailey · Tuesday, Oct. 22,2002 2:39 a.m.

We all know the scene: late 60's, disillusioned youth, free love; these themes have become well-established cultural icons of yesteryear. There are so many examples of movies which cover this subject matter that there's almost a '60s genre.

Workers take sick days for personal reasons

By Adam Geller · Tuesday, Oct. 22,2002 2:37 a.m.

NEW YORK .— More workers are taking sick days for family and personal reasons rather than illness, at a rising cost to employers, a new study says. Only a third of unscheduled days off are because of illness, according to the survey by CCH Inc. But more workers are calling in absent because of family issues, stress and personal needs in what could be a sign of changing attitudes since last year's terrorist attacks, the company said.

More cutbacks are expected later this week by United as it joins other airlines in trimming back this fall to try to fight declining air traffic and mounting losses.

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration said Monday it has revised a proposal to the U.N. Security Council to force Iraq to disarm and said officials were circulating the text for approval. The resolution carries the clear message that Iraq would be disarmed by force if it did not agree to surrender its weapons of mass destruction, said State Department spokesman Richard Boucher.

By Aaron Beard and Ben Walker · Tuesday, Oct. 22,2002 2:23 a.m.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Just mention Pacific Bell Park and what's the first image that comes to mind? Barry Bonds plopping balls into the water, of course. Funny thing about that picture: It's out of focus.
