Hospital officials fear
future nurse shortage
As hospitals expand across
South Carolina to serve a growing
number of patients, officials
worry about a looming shortage
of nurses to care for those
patients.
South Carolina already is
behind in the number of nurses
per capita. The state has 70 nurses
per 1,000 residents, compared
with a national average of 78 per
1,000.
Nationally, numbers of nurses
have crept up for the last two
years. There were 993 more
South Carolina nurses working in
2003, compared with 2002.
Lowcountry bridges
ranked among worst
CHARLESTON — The AAA
Carolinas says that 10 of the Top
20 substandard bridges in the state
can be found in Charleston and
Columbia.
The report, released Friday,
cites the Interstate 26 bridge in
Richland County that passes over
CN&L railroad tracks northwest
of Columbia as the state’s worst
bridge. It and other spans in the
report are considered structurally
deficient or functionally obsolete
under federal standards.
NATION
Governors criticize
high-school systems
WASHINGTON — The nation’s
governors offered an alarming
account of the American high
school Saturday, saying only
drastic change will keep millions of
students from falling short. The
governors say they want to emerge
Sunday with specific plans for
enacting policy, weary of statistics
showing that too many students
are coasting, dropping out or
failing in college.
Bank admits losing
customer data tapes
CHARLOTTE — Bank of America
Corp. has lost computer data
tapes containing personal
information on 1.2 million
federal employees, including
some members of the U.S.
Senate.
The lost data includes Social
Security numbers and account
information that could make
customers of a federal government
charge card program vulnerable to
identity theft.
The bank issued an apology.
WORLD
Afghans train to fight
Taliban-led militants
KABUL, Afghanistan — The
number of troops in Afghanistan’s
new army topped 20,000 Sunday,
as the United States steps up
training of a force that is supposed
to relieve Americans on the front
lines against Taliban-led militants.
The Afghan National Army, or
ANA, now numbers 20,694 and has
another 3,000-4,000 soldiers in
training.
U.S. considers end
to Iraq inspections
UNITED NATIONS — After
blocking discussions for nearly two
years, the United States has quietly
started low-key talks on ending the
work of U.N. inspectors who are
charged with dismantling Iraq’s
chemical, biological and long
range missile programs.
The Bush administration has
come under pressure from the
Iraqi government, which has been
waging a public campaign to stop
using Iraqi oil revenue to finance
the U.N. Monitoring, Verification
and Inspection Commission and
wrap up its operations.
BRIEFS FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Governor
disavows
interest in
presidency
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger may have
joked about becoming
president, but he said in an
interview broadcast Sunday
that he’s never seriously
considered it.
The Austrian-born
Schwarzenegger said he is not
the reason behind talk of
amending the Constitution so
immigrants can occupy the
White House.
“I don’t think the idea is that
all the push is because of me. I
mean, I have never thought
about running for president,
and this is not my vision,”
Schwarzenegger said on “This
Week with George
Stephanopoulos.”
CHRIS CARLSON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
California Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger discusses
his redistricting reform
proposal at the Public Policy
Institute of California and
New America Foundation’s
Legislative Reform luncheon
in Sacramento, Calif, on
Thursday.
Schwarzenegger said when
he predicted in 1977 that he
would become president, he
wasn’t serious: “You’ve got to
have a little bit of sense of
humor about all this.”
Several lawmakers have
proposed amending the
Constitution to let immigrants
run for president after being
citizens for 20 years.
Schwarzenegger, who became a
U.S. citizen in 1983, has said he
supports such a measure.
Editor, ambassador
dies of heart failure
NEW YORK — Henry A.
Grunwald, a Time magazine
editor who led the publication’s
shift from conservatism to a
more centrist view, then later
became a United States
ambassador to Vienna, has
died. He was 82.
Grunwald died of heart
failure Saturday at his
Manhattan home, according to
his daughter, Mandy.

During his tenure as
managing editor at Time,
Grunwald began to award
bylines and introduced new
departments including
Behavior, Energy, the Sexes,
Economy and Dance. Before
being named to the position in
1968, Grunwald had been a
writer, senior editor and
foreign editor at the magazine.
His role in shaping Time
was perhaps second only to that
of founding editor Henry R.
Luce.
One of the most noted
items of Grunwald’s tenure
was when he personally wrote
Time’s editorial during the
Watergate scandal asking
President Richard Nixon to
resign.
The nightmare of
uncertainty must be ended,” he
wrote in a Nov. 12, 1973,
editorial. “A fresh start must be
made. Some at home and
abroad might see in the
president’s resignation a sign of
American weakness and failure.
It would be a sign of the very
opposite.”
Nixon resigned in 1974.
After serving 11 years as
managing editor, Grunwald
served as editor-in-chief of all
Time Inc. publications until
his retirement in 1987.
He was appointed U.S.
ambassador to Austria, the
country of his birth, by
President Reagan and served
in that post -from 1988 to
1990.
Born in 1922, Grunwald’s
family fled Nazi-occupied
Austria for the United States
when he was a teenager. His
father was a librettist in
Vienna who failed to find a
foothold in American show
business.
Grunwald himself had early
ambitions to be a playwright
but got a job as a copy boy at
Time while a student at New
York University and stayed
there for his entire career.

Cruz are among the celebrities
who planned to support
Global Green USA by arriving

“With global warming

Actress gives birth
after Oscar party
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. —
Actress Holly Robinson Peete,
pregnant with her fourth child,
was partying at a pre-Oscar
bash when she went into labor.
“One minute she’s
grooving, the next minute her
water breaks,” said Michael
Lewittes, a producer for
“Access Hollywood” who was
covering Thursday’s party.
Her husband, Carolina
Panthers quarterback Rodney
Peete, was not at the party.
The 40-year-old actress gave
birth to a boy early Friday and
was doing “great,” said her
publicist, Patti Webster.
Florida bars settle
author’s patronage
KEY WEST, Fla. — Two bars
in Ernest Hemingway’s former
hometown have resolved a
dispute over who can use the
name of the author’s old
watering hole.
Sloppy Joe’s Bar and
Captain Tony’s Saloon are half
a block from each other, and
both claim Hemingway as a
former patron.
From 1933 to 1937,
Hemingway’s friend “Sloppy
Joe” Russell ran a bar in a
former city morgue. Russell
moved his business half a block
to the current Sloppy Joe’s
location in 1937 and Captain
Tony’s took over the morgue
building.
Captain Tony’s signs
identify it as “The First and
Original Sloppy Joe’s, 1933
1937.”
Last year Sloppy Joe’s sued
Captain Tony’s, claiming
trademark infringement and
saying Captain Tony’s was
creating confusion.
They settled out-of-court, a
lawyer said Friday.
Under the agreement,
Captain Tony’s must stop
using the truncated phrase
“The Original Sloppy Joe’s”
but it can still use the “The
Original Sloppy Joe’s from
1933 to 1937.”
