(AP) On Bill Clinton's roadshow in the American heartland, the theme was innovation in education but the atmosphere was that of a lovefest for a lame duck president heading into his final months. Just days' after he spoofed himself as a forlorn, forgotten leader, Clinton basked in the adulation of Iowa teenagers who screamed and wept as if he were a rock star and a governor who - two-da- y suggested that "President t Lieno consider comedy as a career move. The contrast between Washington and the Clinton of this trip was sharpened by late-nign- a video depicting him as lonely, isolated and on the downslide a tape he showed at the White House Correspondents dinAssociation's black-tiner last weekend. The tape was shown repeatedly on television as sky for what would be a rare celestial spectacle if it were not completely obscured by the sun's glare. Astronomers say today's planetary pileup will mark the tightest alignment of Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the 17, the planets will cluster even closer, though the moon will have moved away by then. Star gazers must wait two more years before another such 'grouping takes place, said John Mosley, an astronomer at Planetary -- alignments family to safety in Georgia, did not return a telephone message Thursday, but in a news release seemed to be backing away from the claim that a pole shift Was imminent. "Careful modeling would be necessary to predict how often in the past this has occurred and what the likelihood of it happening soon might be," he said. "Unfortunately, we don't understand enough about "May 2002 will involve all five planets plus the moon. It will be similar to the one happening now, except you'll be able to see it." John Mosley, astronomer at Griffith Observatory unusual alignment occurs. But astronomers say the planet has never reacted to such an event. One book, ominously Ice, The Ultimate Disaster," predicts the alignment and increased solar activity will trigger a chain of events that will cause the Earth's crust to slide and the poles to shift. "It would be a geological author Armageddon," Richard. Noone said last an month. --"You'd titled "552000: have-volc- ism going on globally. Earthquakes beyond the scale anything Richter ever dreamed of. Tsunamis hundreds of feet high, sweeping hundreds of miles inland." Mosley dismisses the prediction and has included the various independent and interrelated influences-whic- h might be involved to' make any such meaningful predictions," a quote from Noone's book to open a debunking planetarium show titled "Cosmic Catastrophe." "If this were true, it would have happened already," he said.

It made for levity on a trip that otherwise was so light on news that, at dne point Lockhart and some aides considered putting a biology lab specimen a cat in a bag of formaldehyde into a high school locker for Clinton to find. They abandoned that plan just moments before Clinton walked up. :. DeVerl H. Hatch DeVerl H.
