But shortly before the group was scheduled to leave for Moscow, the college received a fax from the event sponsor, requesting that the girls not make the trip. ‘‘The tension in Moscow be cause of the serious financial and political crisis is growing and po litical observers predict (the) pos sibility of civil disorder in Moscow ...

Tex Ave P-103 The week of September 7-10 NEWS IN BRIEF Clinton attorneys ask for advance WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi dent Clinton’s lawyers Monday asked that they be provided an advance copy of any report to Congress from Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr on the president’s affair with Monica Lewinsky so they could craft a written re ply that would accompany the document. Some of the president’s polit ical advisers have argued for weeks that Clinton’s legal team should prepare a separate report countering the special prosecu tor’s report with evidence pre pared by the defense team. David Kendall, the president’s personal lawyer, made the re quest for an advance copy of the independent counsel’s report in a letter to Starr, to ensure “ele mental fairness” to the presi dent. A final report by Starr on his investigation into Clinton’s rela tionship with Lewinsky, the for mer White house intern, and pos sible obstruction of justice, perjury and abuse of power could go to Congress as early as this month. Largest hole ever expected in ozone GENEVA (AP) — The hole in the ozone layer over the South Pole is expected to be as big this year as it has ever been since measurements began several years ago, the World Meteorological Organization said Monday. The whirlpool-like wind that develops every year in the stratosphere above the South Pole is very strong, threatening to create a large ozone hole, said John M. Miller, chief of the U.N. weather agency’s environ ment division. “Out of the past eight years, this is probably one of the strongest beginnings," he said. International measurements be gan in 1991. The hole, which forms annu ally over the South Pole and will probably last until December this year, allows the sun’s dangerous ultraviolet radiation to reach the Antarctic. As in some earlier years, it may be large enough that radiation hits the southern tip of South America. black organizations are out there.
