BEIJING—Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Sunday sought further help from China in getting North Korea back to nuclear disarmament talks and aired U.S. concerns about Beijing's bellicose rhetoric on Taiwan. As part of a two-day visit to the Chinese capital, Rice took time to attend a Palm Sunday church service at one of the city's few state-sanctioned churches. Although Rice has said the United States is not satisfied with the extent of religious freedom in communist China, she did not make that point explicit on Sunday.

House calls emergency session to vote on Schiavo WASHINGTON—The Senate passed a bill that could prolong Terri Schiavo's life while House Republicans, stalled by Democrats, scrambled to bring enough lawmakers back to the Capitol for an emergency vote early Monday. President Bush rushed back from his Texas ranch for a chance to sign the measure that Republicans view as an opportunity to strengthen their support among religious con- servatives ahead of next year's congressional elections. Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., said Sunday that Schiavo and members of her family have "become political pawns to larger political issues." GOP leaders planned a House vote just past midnight, hours after the Senate approved the bill by voice vote. The White House said the president would act as soon as the measure reaches him.

VATICAN CITY—Pressing his hand to his head and pounding a lectern in apparent frustration, Pope John Paul II made a brief but silent appearance at his apartment window after missing his first Palm Sunday Mass in 26 years as pontiff. The frail John Paul did not speak and appeared irritated by his difficulty in responding to an adoring crowd of tens of thousands of pilgrims in St. Peter's Square. The crowd in the sun-drenched plaza had swelled in expectation that John Paul, convalescing at the Vatican after throat surgery last month to help him breathe, would participate in some way in the Palm Sunday rite ushering in Holy Week. Pilgrims cheered as the pope appeared at the third-floor window. Leavitt sells interest in Leavitt Group Man suspected in missing 9-year-old girl's slaying HOMOSASSA, Fla.— The convicted sex offender who authorities say confessed to kidnapping and slaying 9-yearold Jessica Lunsford returned to Florida in shackles Sunday as her family grieved for the girl who vanished from her bedroom. John Evander Couey was booked early Sunday on a probation violation Pope has brief Palm Sunday appearance SALT LAKE CITY—Motivated by federal ethical standards, Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt has divested his interests in two Utah-based, family owned corporations. Because his agency oversees the insurance and animal health industries, Leavitt has had to sell his interests in The Leavitt Group, the 27th-largest insurance brokerage operation in the country, and cattle ranching operations. The former Utah governor still owns between one-sixth and one-seventh of the family's real estate investments held by Leavitt Land and Investments, The Leavitt Group's CEO Dane Leavitt told The Deseret Morning News. That includes the family's Wayne County ranch, where Leavitt often vacationed with his family. Leavitt's combined interests in the cattle operations and the insurance company, which has part ownership in 90 insurance agencies in 13 states, has been valued at more than $5 million. details of a handover of the West Bank town of Tulkarem to Palestinian control, but the session ended without agreement, a new hitch for fledgling peace efforts. Earlier, Israel's defense minister said the handover would take place Monday, making it the second offiveWest Bank towns to be transferred to Palestinian control. Palestinian officials said the two sides would reconvene Monday. As with the earlier handover of Jericho, the main issues concerned control over surrounding territory and removal of Israeli roadblocks. The handovers were part of a truce announced at a summit last month in Egypt by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and reinforced last week at a meeting. Arab League says summit will not accept proposal ALGIERS, Algeria—The Arab summit formally rejected on Sunday a proposal by the Jordanian king that would have revised Arab conditions for normalizing relations with Israel, sinking a plan that had won Israeli praise only hours earlier. The original plan by Jordan's King Abdullah II had dropped the traditional Arab call for recognizing Israel in exchange for the Jewish state's withdrawal from land it has occupied since the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Nine of 22 Arab League countries assembled for the summit which begins Tbesday had objected to the proposal Saturday, and league Secretary-General Amr Moussa declared it dead a day later. "If Israel implements all its commitments, all the Arab countries will be ready to normalize relations with Israel," Moussa told reporters.
