Confrontation with Iran shadows
opening of peacemaking mission
JERUSALEM (AP) - President
Bush warned Iran of "serious con
sequences” if it meddles again
with U.S. warships in the Persian
Gulf, opening a Mideast peace
making mission Wednesday on
an ominous note. He told Israel
to dismantle unauthorized settle
ment outposts and demanded
that the Palestinians halt rocket
attacks from areas controlled by
Hamas Islamic militants.
Bush, on his first visit as presi
dent to Israel, acknowledged wide
spread doubts about whether he
can break through decades of dis
trust to achieve his goal of a major
Former rebel will
lead in Kosovo
PRISTINA, Serbia (AP)
Kosovo's parliament elected
a former rebel leader as prime
minister Wednesday, a vote
foreshadowing a declaration of
independence from Serbia.
Lawmakers voted 85-22 to
make Hashim Thaci head of the
coalition government. Both the
U.S. und key European govern
ments support independence
for Kosovo, but it is fiercely
opposed by Serbia and Russia.
Kosovo, though legally part
of Serbia, has been under
U.N. and NATO control since
NATO's 78-day bombing cam

Already a troubling issue for

U.S. Marines to
go to Afghanistan
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP)
The Pentagon is preparing to
send at least 3,000 Marines to
Afghanistan in April to bolster
efforts to hold off another expect
ed Taliban offensive in the spring,
military officials said Wednesday.
The move represents a shift in
Pentagon thinking that has been
slowly developing after months
of repeated insistence that the
U.S. was not inclined to fill the
need for as many as 7,500 more
troops that commanders have
asked for there. Instead, Defense
Secretary Robert Gates pressed
NATO allies to contribute the

The intimacy of the Kenan
Theatre and its limited seating
creates an almost instant per
sonal feel. Since the audience is so
physically close to the performer
throughout the entire production,
it’s nearly impossible to withdraw
from Kroris compelling message.
But it’s Kron s uncanny ability to
amuse and move her listeners by
relating to their lives and sharing

But the Discovery Museum,
which opened in 1986 with 1,000
square feet of gallery space and has
since expanded to 4,000 square
feet of gallery space, is proof that
childrens museums can still attract
visitors long after opening.
“Last year we had 53,909,"
Linden said. That was our record.”
Kid/.u still is looking to expand
from its leased location at 105 E.

a site measuring 15,000 to 20,000
square feet.

and overshot our projections, but
we can’t sustain ourselves in this
