Government witness
in Noriega trial dies
MIAMI ? A controversial 1
government witness in the trial ]
of two co-defendants of Manuel i
Noriega has died in an automobile
accident, officials said 1
Thursday. ,
Testimony by the witness, Ra- j
mon Navarro, allegedly tied the (
ousted Panamanian dictator and
the co-defendants directly to the
drug-smuggling voyage of the J
luxury yacht Krill, the central |
issue in the case.
Richard Sharpstein, codefendant
Brian Davidow's attorney,
said Navarro's "testimony is
central to this case, but I think
his death is a total, bizarre
coincidence."

Cracked door hinges
delays shuttle launch
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
? NASA said Thursday it is
moving the shuttle Discovery
back to the hangar to fix cracked
door hinges, delaying a March
military mission by a month or
more.
The hinges are located on two
flapper doors on the belly of the
orbiter that must close tiehtlv

once the external tank drops off
shortly after liftoff. Failure to do
so could cause the shuttle to be
destroyed during atmospheric reentry.

The next shuttle flight is now
scheduled to be Atlantis' early
April trip to carry the Gamma
Ray Observatory into orbit.
Condoms to be made
available to students
NEW YORK ? High school
students in the nation's largest
public school system can get
condoms on demand, without
their parents' permission, starting
next fall.
The plan, linked to a beefedup
AIDS-awareness program that
stresses abstinence, was approved
4-to-3 by the Board of
Education Wednesday night after
five months of debate.
"Even if it (sex) is a mistake,
they should not have to die from
a mistake," said Jan Atwell, president
of the United Parents Association
of New York City.
Education foundation
records destroyed also
Records of USC's Educational
Foundation were destroyed at the
same time as those of the Carolina
Research and Development
Foundation, officials said.
That disclosure came Wednesday
after the president of the
CniinHltirvn ooi/4 Via
^uutauuiiai i uunuaiiuii oaiu iiv^
would open the records in response
to a state Freedom of Information
Act request from The
(Greenville) News.
Chris Vlahoplus serves as executive
director of both foundations.
John O'Donnell is the financial
officer of both groups.
Vlahoplus and O'Donnell did
not mention the destruction of
the Education Foundation records
earlier this month. Vlahoplus
said Wednesday 'There was no
litigation at all (concerning the
Educational Foundation). We're
not under obligation to preserve
these records at all. We have
more than we need."
Both foundations paid annual
salary supplements to former
USC President James B. Holderman.
The R&D Foundation paid
him $50,000 and the Educational
Foundation paid him $25,000.

"This is the last closet not opened. By
opening the list of all people entertained by
President Holderman, we can finally set the
record straight and head in the right direction,"
Mungo said.
He said the board originally deleted 200
names from the "gift list" because ongoing
projects at the time would be put in danger if
those names were released.
Holderman paid for gifts to 15,000 people,

Iraq bows
By The Associated Press
The battlefields of the Persian Gulf were
quiet Thursday. Saddam Hussein's Iraq, broken
by a six-week beating in the air and on
the ground, bowed to all allied demands and
hewed to the cease-fire announced by President
Bush.
World leaders and American citizens alike
hailed the cease-fire that appeared to herald
the end of the Persian Gulf War ? and
turned to the sober task of reckoning its'
costs in blood, money and hatred.
