WASHINGTON — Io, a moon ofJupiter that has surprised researchers before, may be a magnetized solid body, just like Earth and the planet Mercury, a study suggests. A one-minute magnetic measurement of space around Io by the spacecraft Galileo in December detected a dramatic change that suggests the Jovian moon is generating its own magnetic field, researchers report in the journal Science. “To is much more dynamic than we expected it to *” be,” said Caro} Polanskey of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, one of the co-authors of the study. “This certainly suggests that Io has a magneticfield of its own” and could be a solid magnetized body. Polanskeysaid this is consistent with the discovery in 1979 by the spacecraft VoyagerthatIo had volcanoes. WASHINGTON — Eight years after the world’s first abortion drug was introduced in France,scientific experts are considering whether the U.S. governmentshould let American women choose RU-486 Voyagers 1 and 2 found that Io hadat least eight volcanoes that were erupting. In December, Galileo whizzed past and took more photos and instrument readings. Polanskey said that data is only now being analyzed and more details about Io's structure and over surgical abortion. Abortien providers who want the Food and Drug Administration to approve RU-486 say the drug has been used by 200,000 European women with only magnetic fields will be learned.

Were Payoffs ae ee oan THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Appearing relaxed and confident in his second videotaped Whitewater testimony, President Clinton told jurors Thursday that he did not appoint two rural Ar- kansas bankers to state jobs in return for their financial support. “What is not permissible is to promise any official act or to at- ECLINE! temptto get any official act in return for a contribution, and that didn’t happenin this case,” Clin- ton testified in the federal court trial. But the president said he could not recall a December 1990 meeting, key to the prosecution’s case, in which he accepted checks from one of the defendants and then raised the possibility of a plum state appointment.
