The chief executive of Ford Motor Cos. insisted his company could not be blamed. At the same time, internal Bridgestone/Firestone documents obtained by The Associated Press showed the company might have had data indicating safety problems years before the Aug. 9 recall of 6.5 million tires. Rep. Billy Tauzin, R La., said he believed the data was available as early as 1992. At separate House and Senate hear ings, lawmakers admonished the tire maker and Ford, which uses Firestone tires on its popular Explorer and other models, for not notifying the public there was a problem even though com plaints about the tires had been made for years around the world. Ford began a recall of the tires in 16 foreign countries more than a year before the U.S. recall, but was not required by law to notify federal officials and did not do so. The National Highway Traffic Safety the country,” he said. “Also, I hope to make back the money I’ve put into the company by selling ad spaces to businesses." But Houghton is content with the unexpected success he has seen so far. “I was never sure if College United would be effective, but it’s almost taken on a life of its own.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. Administration has received more than 1,400 complaints. These are including reports of 88 deaths and at least 250 injuries that might be linked to the Firestone tires. “I come before you to apologize to you, the American people and especial ly to the families who have lost loved ones in these terrible rollover acci dents,” said Bridgestone/Firestone CEO Masatoshi Ono. Carruth to Receive Separate Murder Trial Rae Carruth, accused of helping kill his pregnant girlfriend, on Wednesday won his fight to be tried separately from two fellow defendants. Superior Court Judge Charles Lamm scheduled the former Carolina Panther’s murder trial for Oct. 23, splitting requests by the prosecution to begin it Oct. 16 and by the defense for Nov. 6. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Carruth, Michael Eugene Kennedy and Stanley Drew Abraham. Kennedy’s and Abraham’s trials weren’t immediately scheduled, but will come after Carruth’s, Lamm said. “We’re ready. We want to go quick ly,” Carruth’s lawyer, David Rudolf, said after the hearing. “Mr. Carruth is sitting in jail. He’s not guilty and we wanted to get to court. Whether he went first, second or third, the evidence will be the same,” Rudolf said. A fourth defendant, Van Brett Watkins, pleaded guilty to second degree murder, admitting he shot Adams, and agreed to testify against Carruth. The Associated Press News Clinton Tackles Poverty, War in Last U.N. Speech Hie Associated Press UNITED NATIONS - In a farewell address at the United Nations, President Clinton urged world leaders Wednesday to intensify efforts to fight poverty and war, put more children in school and fight the spread of infectious diseases. “All these things come with a price tag and all nations including the United States must pay it,” the president said in a speech opening three days of intense diplomacy. “Those in my country or elsewhere who believe we can do without the U.N. or impose our will upon it misread his tory and misunderstand the future,” Clinton said. The president spoke at the U.N. Millennium Summit, a gathering of about 160 presidents, kings, prime min isters and generals. It was the largest gathering of world leaders in history. Clinton met with Russian president Vladimir Putin, and he expressed hope that Washington and Moscow can rec- Dilbert© THIS ISN'T | (IAAYBE YOU CAN I OUT. I HAVE TO LET J | GET YOUR OLD JOB § ( GREAT.

Clinton announced last week he was leaving it up to his successor whether to deploy a missile shield protecting the United States. Russia argues that such a system would be destabilizing. “We have worked together very closely on nuclear issues from virtually the whole time I’ve been in office,” Clinton said. He said he hoped last week’s decisions “create an opportuni ty for President Putin and the next American president to reach a common position, and I hope they can.” Clinton lingered after his speech to hear the remarks of Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, the reform minded leader whom the administration has been courting. Clinton also exchanged greetings with British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife, Cherie, and had a 10- minute meeting with Vietnamese President Tran Due Luong. The two dis cussed the possibility of a Clinton visit to 2 Per 3 Online book seller 4 Run in the heat? 5 Whips 6 Spooned 7 Black-and white cookie 8 Counterattack 9 Up and about 10 S-shaped curve 11 Stand 12 Inborn behavior 13 Understand 21 Analyze ore 22 Little barrel 27 Scrooge exple tive 29 Conspicuous success 31 Scholarly books 33 Natural hair coloring 35 Hwy. sign 37 As written: Lat. 39 Like McMurtry's Dove? 40 Aper 41 Carried too far 42 Zimmer or Shearer ■“ 12 113 111 Hu 1 gOIH ~~ pi 52 53 54 HH955~~ 56 -^■s9 64 ■■l6s ■■66 jgoj n .m..

Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in hopes - of reviving Mideast peace talks. Clinton cautioned that the opportu nity for peace “is fleeting and about to pass. There is not a moment to lose.” Clinton, leaving office in less than . five months, noted that it was his last opportunity to address the Genera! Assembly. He said that if he had learned any thing during his presidency, it is that “whether we like it or not we are grow- • ing more interdependent. “We must look for more solutions in which all sides can claim a measure of victory and move away from choices in which someone is required to accept complete defeat.” Clinton said the United Nations is increasingly being called into difficult situations, such as in violence-plagued East Timor and Sierra Leone.
