Global treaty wax nostalgic
on land mines
to take effect
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A
treaty aimed at eliminating anti
personnel land mines will take ef
fect in six months, the United Na
tions announced Wednesday, after
the West African nation of Burkina
Faso became the 40th country to
ratify the pact.
The treaty was signed by more
than 120 countries at a landmark
meeting in Ottawa in December.
Nations that ratify the treaty
pledge to destroy all stockpiles of
mines within four years and clear
away all mines from their territory
within 10 years.
With Burkina Faso’s approval,
the treaty will go into force in
March in those 40 countries, U.N.
officials said. The pact required the
ratification of 40 nations and their
legislatures to go into effect.
“Today, the world has taken a
step toward becoming a safer and
more humane place,” Secretary-
General Kofi Annan said in a
statement. The treaty “will have
far-reaching implications for both
mine-affected and mine-produc
ing countries.”
The United States has refused to
sign or ratify the treaty, maintain
ing such weapons are needed on
the Korean peninsula to deter
North Korea from invading South
Korea. Russia and China are also
holding out, contending they need
land mines for defensive purposes.
Tens of millions of land mines are
scattered in more than 60 countries,
and an estimated 20,000 people are
killed or injured each year, mostly
innocent civilians. The mines have
also rendered huge swaths of pro
ductive land unusable.
Last December, the International
Campaign to Ban Land mines, and
its American coordinator, Jody
Williams, won the Nobel Peace Prize
for its six years of worldwide cam
paigning that resulted in 122 coun
tries signing the treaty in Ottawa.
President Clinton wants the
United States to approve the treaty
by 2006, but only if the armed
forces are able to come up with an
alternative weapon by then. The
Pentagon has requested $4.7 mil
lion in the fiscal 1999 budget for
the program.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker
Newt Gingrich told fellow Republi
cans Wednesday
President Clin
ton’s own ac
count of his rela
tionship with
Monica Lewinsky
depicts him as a
“misogynist,”
GOP congression
al sources said.
Gingrich argued
GINGRICH
forcefully for releasing a videotape
of Clinton’s grand jury testimony.
The sources, speaking on con
dition of anonymity, said at a
closed-door meeting of GOP law
makers Gingrich detailed Clinton’s
version of events in his relationship
with the young aide.
If that account is to be believed,
Gingrich said, Clinton’s behavior is
that of a “misogynist," a word
whose dictionary definition is a ha
tred of women.
Gingrich made the comment as
he argued against a suggestion Re
publicans reconsider plans to re
lease a videotape of the president ’s
Aug. 17 grand jury testimony.
In the weekly GOP caucus, or
conference, Gingrich noted the
House had voted last week to release
the material that Independent Coun
sel Kenneth Starr had compiled as
evidence of impeachable offenses.
The speaker said Clinton’s lawyers
continue to mount a legalistic de
fense, these sources added.

Searchers: No large pieces of SwissAir 111 fo
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP)
— Navy officials overseeing the
underwater search for the
wreckage of Swissair Flight 111
said Wednesday they are no
longer confident of finding any
large pieces of the plane.
Crash investigators said last
week that five large sections of
the plane — apparently part of its
fuselage — had been located by
sonar on the ocean floor off the
Nova Scotia coast.
But divers working to retrieve
aircraft parts and human remains
say they have found no large
pieces of the wide-bodied MD-U,
which crashed Sept. 2, killing all
229 people on board.
“The aircraft is literally shat
tered on the bottom,” Cmdr.
Greg Aikins of HMCS Halifax, a
Canadian naval frigate collecting
debris, said. “Thus far there are
no big pieces except for big
things like landing gear.”
The largest piece lifted
Wednesday aboard the USS
Grapple, a U.S. Navy salvage
ship, was about the size of a
pool table.
“The fuselage doesn’t exist
anymore — it’s a bunch of de
bris,” Canadian navy spokesper
son Capt. Andre Berdais said.
“Think of a bottle of Coke that
just hit cement. That’s what it
looks like.”
Jim Harris, a spokesperson
for Canada’s Transportation
Safety Board, confirmed the
wreckage appears to be in
small, shattered pieces.
He said it will take time to
assess the situation in detail
since the debris lies under 180
feet of water.
Visibility on the sea floor is
very limited, and rough seas have
complicated the work of more
than 200 divers.
The recovery could take
more time than expected, as
divers negotiate their way
