Bollinger said that might fool the illiterate and ignorant. "When you come to a place like this, it makes you simply ridiculous. The truth is that the Holocaust is the most documented event in human history," he said. Ahmadinejad said he wasn't passing judgment on whether the Holocaust occurred, but that, "assuming this happened, what does it have to do with the Palestinian people?" He went on to say that he was defending the rights of European academics imprisoned for "questioning certain aspects" of the Holocaust, an apparent reference to a small number who have been prosecuted under national laws for denying or minimizing the genocide. "There's nothing known as absolute," Ahmadinejad said. He said the Holocaust has been abused as a justification for Israeli mistreatment of the Palestinians. "Why is it that the Palestinian people are paying the price for an event they had nothing to do with?" he asked. 29 58 Catch sight of 18 Doofus 65 Crave 22 Sun. morning leclure 66 Former Russian royalty 23 Novel on which "Clueless" is based 67 Pig and pol (east 27 Doofus 29 Cheri 30 Parrot 31 Tablet 32 Part of U.S.P.S. 33 CD players 36 Stanley's love in UA Streetcar Named Desire" 38 Shown the door 40 Suffix with priest 41 Craggy mountain ridges 45 Computer command 46 Runaway bride or groom 3b 39 41 I i and outs 24 Expire 4 Doofus 5 Itsy-bitsy 25 Cuts out 47 Pine- 26 Nat and Natalie 48 QB Marino and others 6 Pierre's pal 27 Sis's sib 49 "Shall 7 Pretty violets 28 It's bound with twine 8 Sound bite, e.g. 9 "Powl" 32 Many an ex-con 50 Nary a soul 33 Recipient 54 Hebrew month 10 Media executive Murdoch 34 Traitor 56 Psychedelic drug 35 Kmart or Target 57 Doc's org. 11 Scent 37 12 Mama Judd 39 Doofus 16 Stretch of time 42 Nickname 19 Difficult experiences 59 Pittance 60 Organizer of one of four Grand Slam events: Abbr. 43 Chicken 21 Opposite of 'neath 44 Work unit 9 3 0 in ? c 2 9 do ku 8 6 les by Pajjpocom 4 0 7 • 40 34 3 Sole 4 7 1 8 137 33 2 Calico, e.g. 6 3 2 3fl I DOWN 1 OO 24 English philosopher who wrote "Wherever Law ends, Tyranny begins" 1 31 62 RCA competitors 63 Wry Bombeck 20 flour Killers break loose from county lockup 26 24 55 Doofus M AT&T's stylized globe, e.g. |oo{co * * ! * • •• " © tions or long statements about history and justice. Ahmadinejad has in the past called for Israel's elimination. But his exact remarks have been disputed. Some translators say he called for Israel to be "wiped off the map," but others say that would be better translated as "vanish from the pages of time"—implying Israel would disappear on its own rather than be destroyed. Asked by an audience member if Iran sought the destruction of Israel, Ahmadinejad did not answer directly. "We are friends of all the nations," he said. "We are friends with the Jewish people. There are many Jews in Iran living peacefully with security." Ahmadinejad's past statements about the Holocaust also have raised hackles in the West, and were soundly attacked by Bollinger. "In a December 2005 state television broadcast, you described the Holocaust as the fabricated legend," Bollinger told Ahmadinejad in his opening remarks.

Danny Martin Gallegos, 49, and Juan Carlos Diaz-Arevelo, 27, escaped Sunday from the Daggett County jail, about 120 miles east of Salt Lake City, near the Wyoming border. The remote county has a population of less than 1,000. It has just a few main roads and is home to part of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area and Ashley National Forest The men were discovered missing during an inmate count at 8 p.m., six hours after they were last seen at the jail wearing gray sweats, said Jack Ford, a spokesman for the Utah Department of Corrections. •"Both men are considered dangerous. Do not approach," the county sheriffs office said in a statement With killers on the run, two elementary schools kept children indoors at recess. Most doors were locked at Manila JuniorSenior High School, said Bruce Northcott, superintendent in the Daggett district. "Are they still in the community? Probably not But we don't know," he said. Authorities did not return phone calls seeking an update on the manhunt. The sheriff's office issued a statement Monday night listing the many state, local and federal agencies involved in the search in Wyoming and Utah. Advertising 801 581.7041 In Brief Fukuda elected Japanese P.M. TOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Cabinet resigned Tuesday, clearing the way for new ruling party leader Yasuo Fukuda to be named by parliament as his successor later in the day. Fukuda, 71, was elected president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Sunday, assuring his selection as prime minister on Tuesday because of the LDP's vast majority in the lower house, the stronger of the two chambers. Abe, who stunned the nation when he announced on Sept 12 that he wanted to quit, emerged TAiesday from the hospital where was being treated for stress-related stomach ailments to officially dissolve his Cabinet. Abe, 53, had faced harsh criticism for abruptly resigning amid a parliamentary battle over the extension of the country's naval mission in the Indian Ocean to support international troops in Afghanistan. On Monday he said that he had resigned for unspecified health reasons. Hungary permits prostitutes BUDAPEST, Hungary—In an effort to bring prostitutes into the legal economy, officials said Monday that Hungary will allow sex workers to apply for an entrepreneur's permit—a move that could generate government revenues from an industry worth an estimated $1 billion annually. Human rights groups often have criticized European Union member Hungary for legalizing prostitution—which has been fully allowed under certain conditions since 1999. Opponents say legalization does not help prostitutes. The permits allow prostitutes to give receipts to customers and become part of the legal economy by paying taxes and making social security contributions, said Agnes Foldi, head of the Hungarian Prostitutes' Interest Protection Association. "It is one of the leading sectors of the shadow economy," Bakonyi said. "With this project, APEH is trying to help a group of professionals, in what is called the world's oldest profession, who have never paid taxes in their life." Prostitutes in Hungary can work legally only within certain zones and must get regular medical checkups. Pimping and bordellos are banned. Feds announce roid crackdown PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Federal authorities announced the largest crackdown on illegal steroids in the nation's history Monday, arresting more than 120 people and raiding dozens of labs that manufactured growth hormone for sale on the black market. Agents seized 56 labs, many of which were located in dirty basements, and recovered 11.4 million doses of steroids, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. "We were a little bit stunned at the amount of labs we found as a result of this investigation," DEA spokesman Garrison Courtney said in Washington. "It's not something that's on a scale that we've ever seen." The announcement follows a growing number of scandals in the sports world over steroids, but authorities said the probe was focused on distributors.
