By Russ Bynum Associated Press ■ ATLANTA—Two bomb blasts an hour apart rocked a building contain ing an abortion clinic Thursday, injur ing six people who had rushed to the scene of the first explosion, including federal agents, rescue workers and a TV cameraman. “The second explosion is clearly designed to maim and hurt those who were coming to assist,” said Mayor Bill Campbell. “So we’re dealing with a warped mind here.” The explosions left the Atlanta Northside Family Planning Services clinic in ruins and blew out windows across the street. Police immediately tightened security at all other clinics in the city. President Clinton condemned the explosions as “a vile and malevolent act.” S' “Make no mistake: Anyone who brings violence against a woman try ing to exercise her constitutional rights is committing an act of terra,” he said. The first bomb went off at 9:30 a.m. near the clinic at the ground floor of a three-story office building that also houses lawyers, dentists and other pro fessionals. The second bomb went off near a trash bin in the parking lot. A crowd of investigators, police, journalists and bystanders who had gathered outside after the first explo sion heard a loud boom and felt the coicussion. They could see a bright flash and debris flying in the air. Ralph Reed, director of the Chris tian Coalition, also condemned the bombing in a statement faxed to news media: “It is imperative that we seek through the legislative process to pro tect innocent human life. Episodes such as today’s violence only serve to un dermine those efforts. We will continue to speak out on behalf of the unborn, but we will do so with the godly weap ons of love and mercy, and not with the hellish weapons of violence and terra.” Abortion clinic CZD building explosion A pair of bombs exploded at a building housing an abortion clinic in Atlanta Thursday morning.

Castello Israeli troops pull out of Hebron By Nasser Shiyoukhi Associated Press HEBRON, West Bank — As Pal estinians here cheered, Israeli soldiers loaded dozens of trucks, lowered their Star of David flag and left. Israel's parliament gave final ap proval Friday to an accord ending their country’s 30-year rule in Hebron. In heavy rain and fog, army bull dozers dismantled cement barriers at the gate of Israel's main militaryhead quarters on a hill above the city. Sol diers folded large olive drab tents and piled furniture, communications equip ment and water tanks into the trucks. A Palestinian crowd cheered and ment approves the handover of 80 per cent of the city of 130,000 Palestin ians and 500 Jews. , Israel’s parliament approved the withdrawal Friday by an 87-17 vote. The vote followed an all-day debate that saw Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under attack from members of his own Likud party, who feel be trayed by his consent to a peace pro cess he once attacked. “What’s the difference between us and Labor?” demanded legislator Uzi Landau. “What will we tell our vot ers?” “We have no say in anything,” an other legislator, Reuven Rivlin, com plained. “What will we do if the Pales tinians declare a state?” Foreign Minister David Levy, who has often clashed sharply with Netanyahu in the past, came strongly to his defense today. . “What is the alternative?” Levy shouted at the hecklers. “There is no alternative. The only alternative you can give is stalemate.” waved victory signs each time an Is raeli jeep or truck pulled away. A long line of Palestinian police jeeps waited outside the compound for the official handover of control. The base will become the head quarters of Yasser Arafat’s 400-mem ber security force after Israel’s parlia 66 There is no alternative. The only alternative you can give is stalemate.” David Levy Netanyahu’s foreign minister English, not ebonies, to be taught in Oakland black English so they can help students make the transition to standard English. Black English is classified as a so cial dialect by the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association. Its earmarks include unconjugated use of the verb “to be,” as in, “He be sad,” and multiple negatives, as in, “Didn’t nobody see nothing.” At the heart of the debate over the school board’s original resolution, passed Dec. 18, has been its assertion that black English is a separate lan guage. The proposed revisions do not abandon that idea. The original resolution declared that “African Language Systems are genetically based and not a dialect of English.” The revised version states, “African Language Systems have ori gins in west (African) and Niger Congo languages and are not merely dialects of English.” L Raytheon to buy Hughes defense unit NEW YORK (AP) — Raytheon Co., maker of the Pa triot missile, won the bidding Thursday to buy the defense op erations of Hughes Electronics from General Motors Corp. in a $9.5 billion deal. The combination would cre ate the nation’s third-largest de fense contractor, behind Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. The deal, the most recent combination in the fast-consoli dating defense industry, repre sents a setback for Northrop Grumman Corp., which was also a bidder for the Hughes unit. The Hughes defense unit builds missiles, radar and heat imaging systems and employs 40,000 people. The combined company will be called Raytheon Co. and will have revenue of about $21 bil lion a year. — FAX NUMBER: 472-1761 The Daily Nebraskan (USPS 144-080) is published by the UNL Publications Board, Nebraska Union 34,1400 R St., Lincoln, NE 68588-0448, Monday through Friday during the academic year; weekly during summer sessions.

ALL MATERIAL COPYRIGHT 1997 DAILY NEBRASKAN -—----- . OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)—School officials here made it clear Wednesday they will teach standard English instead of ebonies. The seven-member school board passed the revisions unanimously, a month after starting a national debate by declaring black English a second language. Policy revisions drop any sugges tion that ebonies — a combination of “ebony” and “phonics” — is geneti cally based, and cut wording that im plies students would be taught in both ebonies and standard English. Those phrases had been sharply criticized in Oakland and nationwide by critics who said the board was le gitimizing slang and lowering stan dards for black students. Oakland officials insisted they were not backing down from their original intention to train teachers to recognize f ~
