More jurors qualified in cadet murder trial FORT WORTH (AP) — The judge in the murder trial of a former Naval Academy midshipman has qualified 10 more prospective jurors. State District Judge Joe Drago is trying to pick at least 80 potential panel members who have not been swayed by widespread media atten tion about the Diana Zamora case, in cluding a television docudrama and two books about a fatal love triangle. Drago selected 10 jurors as the jury screening process contin ued this morning. From groups of 50, Drago select ed 32 potential jurors Tuesday and 34 more Wednesday. The judge will question another group of 50 Friday if he cannot select 18 today. The 80 people who are chosen will be asked back next week for de fense attorneys and prosecutors to make the final selections. Character questions raist as Clinton probe contira n Around the country, reaction to the charges against a president often bat tered by questions about his charac ter ranged from disbelief to dismay. “I think he’s losing his credibili ty, and it wasn’t so great to be gin with,” said Don Wiebel- haus, a 59- year-old De troit security guard. Lusya Shmavonian, 28, an admin istrative assis- Clinton tant from Ridgefield, N.J., said she doesn’t know whether to believe that Clinton had an affair, but added, “I think he’s a good president and I don’t see what that has to do with anything.” In Washington, the day’s events unfolded in something of a crisis atmosphere. “Welcome, ladies and gentle men, to the theater of the absurd,” White House press secretary Mike McCurry said at the outset of a dai ly briefing dominated by questions about the Lewinsky matter. McCurry’s predecessor, Dee Dee Myers, told NBC: “This is a situation that’s completely out of control. ...It is a feeding frenzy of the first order.” Even so, she said of Clinton, “If he’s not telling the truth, 1 think the con sequences are just astronomical." The seriousness of the potential charges — adultery and encourag ing perjury — reverberated among congressional leaders. “The allegations are certainly very serious. If they should prove to be true, that’s going to cause some problems legally,” Republican Sen ate Majority Leader Trent said in Jackson, Miss. Gerald Solomon, R-N.Y., chair of the House Rules Committee, said Republicans were waiting to see how events unfold before con sidering impeachment. But he said that if charges against Clinton were found to be valid, “the whole roof could blow off.l the country.” Beyond the revelatitj Lewinsky, there was no tion about Clinton's with anotherwomaa Clinton reportedly: in his weekend deposit^ had an affair with Gen during the 1970s, The) Post reported.

Kaczynski pleads guilty, receh life sentence in Unabomber c SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Theodore Kaczynski admitted Thursday he is the anti-technol ogy terrorist known as the Un abomber, pleading guilty in a deal with the government that will send him to prison for life. The 55-year-old mathematics professor turned woodland her mit entered the plea in a mid-af ternoon hearing, on the day a jury was to be sworn in and open ing statements were to begin. The agreement avoids the pos sibility of his execution. 1 lad the jury convicted Kaczynski, he could have faced death by injection. His motivations and that of the government were oddly aligned. Judged by a prison psychiatrist to be paranoid schizophrenic, Kaczynski did not want to be por trayed in court as a madman. Pros ecutors, meanwhile, clearly did not want to be perceived as trying to execute a mentally ill man. A senior federal official in Washington said that a report submitted only days federal Bureau ofPrisoBi atrist was the decisivefa Dr. Sally Johnson eta that Kaczynski was comp! stand trial but suffett paranoid schizophrenis] ness marked hy deltjp potential for violence.
