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.”

Lewinsky, there was no

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
