TV, obesity linked CHICAGO (AP)- -A new study confirms that kids who watch a lot of television tend to be heavier than kids who do not, but it fails to settle the question: Which came first, the Simpsons or the Twinkies? Kids who spent more than four hours daily in front of the tube were significantly heavier than children who watched fewer than two hours daily, according to researchers led by Ross E. Andersen of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Pc!!cfTd blasts US. Jews JERUSALEM (AP) Stepping up his campaign for freedom, convicted spy Jonathan Pollard took American Jews to task Tuesday for failing to fight the Clinton administration on his behalf. Pollard sharply criticized the League, the American Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Committee during a visit Monday with Israeli Finance Minister Yaacov Neeman at the federal prison in Eutner, N.C., where Pollard is incarcerated. The U.S. administration looked to them. They said nothing, they did nothing," Pollard said in remarks broadcast Tuesday on Israel radio. They have my blood on their hands."

He lives and works in the downtown business district and doesn't like the litter. "I'm obsessivecompulsive about litter," Merena said. "It drives me nuta." In the past, Merena has paid his employees to clean up the entire area of his business including 100 West, 100 South, Freedom Boulevard and Center Street. Because his budget no longer lets him do that, Merena wanted to discuss with Mayor Billings other options for keeping the neighborhood clean. Overall, the people who attended the Mayor's Night Out were happy they had a forum to express their points of view. "It's good to vent and good to have them listen to us," Udall said.

Clinton: America wrong to buy slaves By TERENCE HUNT AP White House Correspondent Before MUKONO, Uganda thousands of schoolchildren sprawled on a grassy hillside, President Clinton said Tuesday that America was wrong long ago to buy slaves and guilty more recently of "the sin of neglect and ignorance" toward Africa. Promising new friendship and help, Clinton announced $120 million in aid for African schools over the next two years to train more teachers and connect classes to the Internet in addition to the $65 million it now spends on education in Africa. The United States also will spend $16 million to help Africa combat AIDS and malaria, which kill thousands of children . It already spends $100 million on the continent on health care systems and infectious diseases. Although Clinton did not apologize for slavery, as some black people in America have urged, his remarks brought a burst of applause in this rural village where coffee and bananas are grown. "The United States has not always done the right thing by Africa," said the president, who was on the second leg of a tour. Slave trade He said Africa suffered during the Cold War competition between the United States and Soviet Union. And earlier, he said, Europeans and Americans "received the fruits of the slave trade. And we were wrong in that as well." "But perhaps the worst sin America ever committed about Africa was the sin of neglect and ignorance," he said. "We have never been as involved with you, in working together for our mutual benefit, for your children and for ours, as we should have been." Jesse Jackson, Clinton's special envoy for Africa, said Africans are more interested in "remedy and repair" than in debating whether Clinton should apologize for slavery. "Frankly, I nm ( Pork, Lb.

Museveni, after taking power in a coup, was elected president in 1998 in the first election under a new constitution. "There is nobody who can Africa backwards," keep Museveni said. "It is only the African leaders who can do it, as they have done it in the past." One of the horrors of the past will be brought to center stage when Clinton flies to Rwanda on Wednesday to meet with survivors of the 1994 genocide in which 500,000 to 1 million Tutsi civilians and Hutu moderates were killed. In Uganda, about 60 children were packed into the Kisowera classroom where Clinton and his wife watched youngsters go through their lessons, identifying him as president and picking out the United States cr. a map. i ' ' OanKkd AdvcrtUat RMtllAiwIbim Subscripnoai tad delivery wrvkt 1M (28-- Peak, S3 16oz.

The school was picked to highlight Uganda's program of guaranteeing a primary education for up to four children in every family. Surrounded by children, Clinton danced with young boys wearing bells around their legs and young girls wearing grass skirts. For many Americans, the visit to Uganda may recall memories of Idi Amin's reign of terror and Milton Obote's cruel dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s. Together they are blamed for the slaughter of 800,000 Ugandans. V Lb Medium Cheddar or ; A A TUiEOT FILLETS G3' Lb...... CHEESE m m FXiTtEriASTS thought that was statement enough on I Bonus Bag oz.
