The military command in Baghdad denied, however, that any newly smuggled Iranian weapons were behind the five U.S. military helicopter crashes since Jan. 20—four that were shot out of the sky by insurgent gunfire. A fifth crash has tentatively , been blamed on mechanical failure. In the same period, two private security company helicopters also have crashed but the cause was unclear. The deadly and highly sophisticated weapons the U.S. military said it traced to Iran are known as "explosively formed penetrators," or EFPs. The presentation was the result of weeks of preparation and revisions as U.S. officials put together a package of material to support the Bush administration's claims of Iranian intercession on behalf of militant Iraqis fighting American forces. and Clarifications The policy of The Daily Utah Chronicle is to correct any error made as soon as pos•sible.

In his speech Saturday, Putin blamed U.S. foreign policy for inciting other countries to seek nuclear weapons to defend themselves from an "almost uncontained use of military force." The Russian leader said "unilateral, illegitimate actions have not solved a single problem, they have become a hotbed of further conflicts" and that "one state, the United States, has overstepped its national borders in every way." Gates also made an urgent call for NATO allies to live up to their promises to supply military and economic aid for Afghanistan. "It is vitally important that the success Afghanistan has achieved not be allowed to slip away through neglect or lack of political will or resolve," he said. 9 5 8 7 2 1 4 2 3 3 7 9 5 2 6 Jfetaf l u r k ©imcjs Crossword 33 Lindbergh's trans-AUantic destination 2 8 om 6 9 ? c 4 5 8 3 7 1 9 i i i Exact numbers are not available, but doctors say that tens of thousands of organ transplant recipients, breast cancer survivors, women with heart defects, and even women with the AIDS virus have decided to risk childbearing in the last several years. Not all of these stories have happy endings, and many people worry that some of these women will not live long enough to raise their children, or that they will pass on their medical problems. But most results have been so surprisingly good that they are overturning decades of dogma about who is medically fit to have a child. she also added, "I'm not the woman president of Harvard, I'm the president of Harvard."

NATO nations must work in partnership with Russia on security matters, Gates said yesterday, a day after President Vladimir Putin blasted Washington's foreign policy and accused it of fomenting a series of wars. High-risk pregnancies are on the rise in the United States and may be more common now than at any other time since modern obstetric care became available. Why? More fortysomething moms are having babies, and epidemics of diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure are causing pregnancy and birth complications.

MUNICH, Germany—Pentagon chief Robert Gates responded Sunday to Vladimir Putin's assault on U.S. foreign policy by saying "one Cold War is enough" and that he would go to Moscow to try to reduce tensions. Gates also sought more allied help in Afghanistan. He delivered his first speech as Pentagon chief at a security conference in Germany and then flew to Pakistan to discuss fears of a renewed spring offensive by Taliban fighters in neighboring Afghanistan. He arrived in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, Monday morning. Pakistan, a close U.S. ally in the fight against terrorism, has faced charges that the Taliban militia stage attacksfromPakistan against Afghan government troops and NATO- and U.S.-led coalition troops. Gates' rebuke of the Russian president relied on humor and some pointed jabs. "As an old Cold Warrior, one of yesterday's speeches almost filled me with nostalgia for a less complex time. Almost," Gates said. Then, as the audience chuckled, the defense secretary said he has accepted Putin's invitation to visit Russia. "We all face many common problems and challenges that must be addressed in partnership with other countries, including Russia," said Gates.
