Friday • April':
Jones announces decision to appeal laisj
DALLAS (AP)
— Her voice
breaking as she
pronounced the
word “appeal,”
Paula Jones said
Thursday she
will ask an ap
peals court to re
instate her law
suit and force
President Clinton to stand trial for
Paula Jones
sexual harassment.
“In the end, I have not come
this far to see the law let men who
have done such things dodge
their responsibility,” a crying
Jones said at a news conference
with her lawyers.
“I believe what Mr. Clinton did to
me was wrong, and the law protects
women who are subjected to that
kind of abuse of power.”
Clinton, on a state visit in Chile,
said he felt good about a federal
judge’s April 1 dismissal of the Jones
suit and he declined to comment
on the latest turn. "It’s a very un
usual political environment, but I’m
just not going to let the politics get
in my way,” he said.
Jones’ widely anticipated appeal
set the stage for a lengthy extension
of the legal battle over her allegation
of a Clinton advance in a Little Rock
hotel room in 1991 while he was
governor of Arkansas
Attorneys not com

Cambodian tyrant
Pol Pot dies at age 73
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — Cambodian revolutionary
Pol Pot had all the hallmarks of a tyrant: paranoia, cun
ning, ruthlessness.
King Norodom Sihanouk, at various times Pol Pot’s ally
or adversary, compared him to Stalin — but also said he
had a certain charisma that made him “very charming.”
His Khmer Rouge regime, however, was one of the most
brutal the 20th century has witnessed. As many as 2 mil
lion Cambodians died, some in grisly city torture centers,
others in the countryside with a blow to the back of the
head with a hoe.
Many died of starvation, overwork and illness during
Khmer Rouge attempts to force a Maoist-style collec
tivization of agriculture.
The man known to his comrades as Brother Number
One died Wednesday, two days short of the 23rd anniver
sary of the day his army captured Phnom Penh and began
a reign of terror.
The last time Pol Pot was seen alive by outsiders — in
several interviews last year — he was an enfeebled old
man who almost looked kindly.
“Our movement made mistakes,” he told American
journalist Nate Thayer, the first to interview him in 18
years. “I came to carry out the struggle, not to kill people.
Even now, and you can look at me: Am I a savage person?
My conscience is clear."
The best estimates are that one in five Cambodians of
a population of 7.9 million died when the Khmer Rouge
were in power from 1975-79.
