Republican Rudy Giuliani has described the plan as a "march toward socialized medicine." Democrat John Edwards has accused her of copying his plan, and he and Sen. Joe Biden both have said she is too divisive to get the job done. Clinton said she regretted being unable to successfully extend coverage in the early 1990s in a bruising political battle when she was first lady. "Since we weren't successful, we've seen millions of more people without insurance and many millions more who have insurance, except when they really need it and the insurance company tells their doctor or the hospital they won't pay for the needed treatment," she said on ABC's "This Week." Afghan pres desires peace with Taliban 23 34 president, also pledged to vote against additional war funding unless most combat troops get to come home. Clinton, interviewed on the Sunday talk shows, sought to portray herself as a more humble, wiser leader who has learned from her mistakes and who would work to shed her image as a polarizing figure who would mire Washington in gridlock She even giggled her way through questions about whether the' health care proposal she announced last week amounted to socialized medicine. Deflecting criticism from her Republican and Democratic opponents, Clinton called it a "moral imperative" for the country to provide coverage for the estimated 47 million people without health in- 19 J21 20 DOWN 1 Wide open, 44 as the mouth 2 Lazes 48 3 Operatic solos 4 Cinnamon or cloves 5 Tenth; Prefix 6 Elvis's middle [68 name 7 Part of M.I.T.; Abbr. 8 Many an art print, for short 9 Affirmatives 10 Bach's " , Joy of Man's Desiring" 11 Hand protectors lor bakers 12 It's between La. and N.M. 13 Using trickery 21 What a student crams for 22 Like lyrics 26 Playing marble 27 Passed 7 6 5 8 Why should we go to war?

Clinton defends health care plan WWW.WEATHER.COM In Brief Mitt Romney touts his business experience NEW YORK—Iranian President Mahmoud AhmadLnejad arrived in New York to protests Sunday and said in a television interview that Iran was neither building a nuclear bomb nor headed to war with the United States. The president's motorcade pulled up to the midtown hotel where he will be staying while he appears at a series of events including the U.N. General Assembly and a forum at Columbia University, where about 40 elected officials and civic leaders decried his visit. Ahmadinejad's public-relations push appears aimed at presenting his views directly to a U.S. audience amid rising strains and talk of war between the two nations. Tensions are high between Washington and Tehran over U.S. accusations that Iran is secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons, as well as helping Shiite militias in Iraq that target U.S. troops—claims Iran denies. "Well, you have to appreciate we don't need a nuclear bomb. We don't need that. What need do we have for a bomb?"

Karzai said the government and an independent national commission have been trying to bring back those Taliban supporters who are not part of al Qaida and were "forced or found in a position to leave Afghanistan or to pick up guns." "It is extremely important that this process will go on," he told reporters after a high-level meeting of 24 of the country's supporters and neighbors, which he co-chaired with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Ban said participants in the three-hour private meeting agreed that "there should be more efforts by President Karzai and Afghan leaders Ln promoting inclusive political dialogue for national reconciliation." Asked what the government was doing to bring the Taliban into the mainstream, the Afghan leader said: "We are trying very hard to bring them back to the fold,, to make them return and participate in the making of the country." He said identifying who should participate in peace talks is easy. "Deeds will tell, and deeds do tell," Karzai said. "Those who are willing to come and participate and take part in building a stronger, better, prosperous, democratic Afghanistan, are the good ones." Advertising 801 581.7041 ORANGE, Calif.—Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney cast himself as more businessman than politician Sunday, as the one-time venture capitalist tried to differentiate himself from his rivals during his first townhall meeting in California. Taking questions from an audience of 500 in a conservative tract area just south of reliably Democratic Los Angeles, the former Massachusetts governor repeatedly contrast himself with "Washington politicians" and said he has the distance from the Beltway to be a uniter, not a divider. "I'm not in this race for the next step in my political career. I don't have a political career, to tell you the truth," Romney said during a stop at Chapman University. "I've only been in politics four years as a governor. I loved the experience, but my life is my wife and my family. My career was building an enterprise, a business, with some other fellows." Scientists hopeful despite climate signs WASHINGTON—Climate scientist Michael Mann runs down the list of bad global wanning news: The world is spewing greenhouse gases at a faster rate. Summer Arctic sea ice is at record lows. The ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica are melting quicker than expected. Is he the doomsayer global warming skeptics have called him? Mann laughs. This Perm State University professor — and many other climate scientists—are sunny optimists. Hope blooms in the hottest of greenhouses. Climate scientists say mankind is on the path for soaring temperatures that will melt polar ice sheets, raise seas to dangerous levels, and trigger mass extinctions. But they say the most catastrophic of consequences can and will be avoided. They have hope. So should you, Mann said. "Sometimes we fear that we are delivering too morose a message and not conveying enough that there is reason for optimism," Mann said. Favre ties all-time TD marie as Packers remain undefeated GREEN BAY, Wis.—Brett Favre's 420th career touchdown pass meant more than just drawing even with Dan Marino. The 57-yard completion to Greg Jennings, with just over two minutes remaining, tied Marino's all-time NFL record for career TD passes and rallied the Packers past the San Diego Chargers on their way to a 31-24 victory. Favre's 38th career fourth-quarter comeback came one series after the Chargers defense stopped Favre and the undefeated Packers (3-0) cold on fourth-and-goal. It also spoiled a breakout game for Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, who started i5-for-i5 to tie Dan. Fouts' franchise record for consecutive completions and drove the Chargers to take the lead in the third quarter. With the.Chargers (1-2) behind by three points to begin the second half, Rivers drove the Chargers deep into Packers territory, then threw a swing pass to LaDainian Tomlinson, who ran 21 yards to give San Diego a 21-17 lead early in the third quarter.
