His journey would take him to Kansaslater to take the No. 2 spot on the GOPpresidential campaign. “Quarterbacks are always ready,” Kemp said earlier in the day. Dole placed the call from his family home in Russell, Kan., concluding the deal shortly after 9 p.m. MDTafter asking Kemp several final questions and discussing his role in the fall campaign. Kemp was in Dallas, where he boarded a plane to Kansas for a late-night meeting with Dole. An official announcement EL is planned this afternoon.

Bob Dole got the answer he was looking for. And we’ve got a veep,” Warfield said. He said the call lasted 15 minutes, ending at 9:06 p.m. With the selection, “The curtain goes up on the drama of taking the White House back from Bill Clinton,” Warfield said. The 73-year-old Dole and the 61-year-old Kemphave been rivals — and antagonists — for years. They were unsuccessful candidates for the 1988 Republican presidential nomination, and both were passed over by George Bush when he waslooking tofill the ticket. At the root of most past Dole-Kemp feuds has been economics: Dole is a deficit hawk determined to balance the federa! budget; Kemp .a supply side apostle who believes deep tax cuts and economic growth should take precedence over balancing the books. Dole’s new economic plan bridges both camps, and it was during deliberations over its $548 billion in tax cuts that Kemp emerged as a serious contender. On hand to greet Kemp in Dallas was Sheila Burke, Dole’s former Senate chief of staff, and Roderick DeArment, the attorney who headedthe vice presidential background investigations. >» See KEMP/4A “Visitation is up this year, and I think a lot of that is attributable to the emphasis being put on state history, with this being our centennial year.” ~- Goiden Spike National Historic Site ranger Rick Wilson Take a fun step back into Utah's rail history Sate Apology to bomb suspect? _] Possibility looms as no evidence has been found yet to link Olympics guard The Associated Press ATLANTA - More than 10 days after Richard Jewell became the public focus of the investigation into the Olympic park bombing, no charges have been filed against the hero-turned-suspect. What if the evidence never implicates him? Senior federal officials on Friday said it’s too early to consider that possibility, but some legal experts said Jewell will deserve a rare public apology if the government can’t make a case against him. “Except for (O.J.) si JEWELL: He h os NHAT MEYER(Standard-Examiner A BREAK FROM THE RAILS: Goiden Spike Railroader Russ Hallpitches to Tremontonfirefighter Doug Fuhriman as part of the annual Golden Spike Railroaders Festival. 11 You can track down historic Golden Spike activities today in Promontory By STACEY KRATZ Standard-Examiner staff Pivorinesimp - OK, so maybe throwing a lumpy discus of “aged” manure, even if it was “gathered from Utah's resident buffalo herd on Antelope Island,” isn’t your game.

Jury: Cigarettes defective items (1) Tobacco industry ordered to pay damages for only the second time The Associated Press JACKSONVILLE,Fla. A man who got lung cancer after smoking for 44 years was awarded a record $750,000 Friday, marking only the second time the tobacco industry has been ordered to pay damages in a liability case. The state Circuit Court jury said that the cigarettes were a defective product and that their makers were negligent for not telling people how dangerous they were. Grady Carter, 66, had asked for at least $1.5 million from the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Co., the maker of Lucky Strikes. So far, in at least 19 tobacco liability suits, the industry has yet to pay a cent in damages The six-member jury deliberated for 9 1/2 hours over two days, As the verdict was announced, a smiling Carter leaned back and grasp ed his wife's hand internal evidence Be Richard Daynard, head of the Tobacco Products Liability Projectat Boston's Northeastern University, said that introducing the tobacco industry's own documents waskey to the court victory. One such document, a 1963 memo written by the late Addison Yeaman, then president of the Brown & Williamson Tobacco, read, in part, “We are, then, in the business of selling nicotine, an addictive drug.” “Somebody needed to take these people on,” he said later. “A lot of people are dying of lung cancer,” The only other monetary award against a to- bacco companyinaliability case was won in 1988 by the family of Rose Cipollone of New Jersey But the $400,000 award was overturned on appeal, and the lawsuit was dropped in 1992 Inside today Aug. 10, 1996 ~ Vol. 109, No. 223 Business/Economy 18A Classifiedads §§§ | 3-188 Comics an DearAbby a — —e Northern Utah news— aan Obituaries Puzzles an 10-118 Religion — Sports news «STA 9-13A Theaters TV schedule BA 414A e Printed on recycled paper |
