forecasters
enlist help
MIAMI (AP) ? Forecasters had to enlist
extra heir) Tuesday to trnrlr four
stonns swirling in the open Atlantic in
the busiest hurricane season in more
than 60 years.
The National Hurricane Center sent
both of its tracking airplanes on stormchasing
missions and got help from the
National Oceanographic and Atmospheric
Administration and the Air Force,
whose planes provided close looks at the
storms.
"It comes down to the fact that if s
been quite a while since we've had this
active of a season, and there really isn't
a lot of experience to go on," said Mike
Hopkins, a forecaster at the Miami center.
The workload doubled Monday, when
Tropical Storms Karen and Luis developed
rapidly in the far eastern Atlantic
near the African coast, joining Hurricanes
Iris and Humberto, both about a
week old.
Karen and Luis became the 11th and
12th storms in the 1995 season, tying a
1933 record for the number of named
storms formed so early. Hurricane season
runs from June to November.
"They are fairly close together, and
it's hard to tell when they start interacting,
and if they're going to start interacting,
what will happen," Hopkins
said. "If s a really interesting situation."
Karen, with 50 mph winds, was centered
about 925 miles east of the Leeward
Islands in the eastern Carribean.
Luis was 590 miles west-southwest of
the Cape Verde Islands off the African
coast, with winds of 45 mph.
Iris, which briefly reverted to a trop:?i
-i. o?J - i i
itai Biurw ounuay wnen lis winas
dropped below 74 mph, killed two people
in Martinique and one in Guadeloupe.
On Tuesday, Iris was considered a
threat only to Atlantic shipping lanes,
but its winds of 85 mph were expected
to strengthen.
Humberto, which also diminished
to a tropical storm over the weekend,
regained hurricane strength Monday
near the mid-Atlantic with winds near
75 mph.
A tropical storm has winds of 39 mph
to 73 mph.

Reynolds sat expressionlessly as
the verdict was read Tuesday, repeatedly
mouthing an inaudible phrase
and staring at the jury.
The 43-year-old Democrat testified
that he only had phone sex with
Beverly Heard. But he was convicted
of having sex with Heard when
she was 16 and 17, asking her to get
him lewd photographs of a 15-yearold
girl and trying to sabotage the invps

The first lady has pointedly delayed
her decision about whether to
participate in the conference in hopes
of seeing progress in Wu's case.
"There are some indications he
may be tried on charges that are unclear
at this point," White House press
secretary Mike McCurry said Tuesday.
"We're not certain what that
means to his release." '
He said it appeared that a trial
might occur in the next few days.

June 19 when he tried to enter China
from Kazakhstan. He was charged
with espionage, a crime punishable
by death.
Publicly, the administration has
insisted there is no linkage between
Wu's case and Mrs. Clinton's decision
whether to attend the conference. Yet,
privately, officials acknowledge the
two are intertwined in a difficult political
issue for the administration.
