His musical philosophy transcends any musical genre, ethnic group or political culture. To fulfill his father’s dream to reach the mainstream urban audience, Stephen Marley was compelled to create a unique musical collaboration incorporating his dad’s songs and allowing other artists for the first time to sing the songs of Bob Marley WITH Bob Marley. This joining of original recordings with vocals from today’s chart topping superstars brings a contemporary, urban edge to the tracks.

The government has long denied that its agents fired any shots during the seven-week standoff, which end ed when an inferno destroyed the Da- vidians’ compound. Cult leader David Koresh and some 80 followers died during the blaze, some from the fire, others from gunshot wounds. While the FBI and Justice Department always have maintained that the Branch Davidians died by their own hands, independent filmmakers, lawyers for survivors who are suing the government and others skeptical of the claim contend that government agents aimed gun fire on the compound. Special counsel John Danforth, whom Attorney Gen eral Janet Reno appointed in September to investigate the revived controversy, has said the issue of govern ment gunfire will be among the “dark questions” he seeks to answer. TWo weeks ago, Danforth asked the federal judge pre siding over the Davidians’ wrongful-death lawsuit to or der an impartial simulation of the FBI’s infrared video taping during the siege to determine whether bursts of light captured on the original tapes came from gunfire from federal agents. Now, he is asking the FBI to turn overlu jntinue leadinj firearms for ballistics tests. ation of th( and we are coir: "Then request came in the request, l-bl spokesperson Bril Oner d b a cn day, declining further comment. / Danforth’s office declined to discussiMpr . , which CBS News first reported, or the questw 0 , 1 Louls • would conduct the ballistics tests. m naving ic Lawyers for the surviving Branch Davidk ie lnvestl § at ' 01 shell casings found inside a sniper outpost wi ?coiaer ta P e(a 0 sharpshooters' weapons.

The report singles out Mexico, Austria, Honduras, Mauritius and Sweden as “the most serious” vio lators of the agreement regarding international parental-child abduc tions, the San Antonio Express- News reported yesterday. A final version of the report is expected in January. The U.S. State Department re ported this month that at least 750 children have been abducted by parents and taken to Mexico since 1991. It is the No. 1 destination — followed by Canada and Europe — for parents fleeing the United States with snatched children. Norma Luna, who lives in Buda near Austin, never suspected Texas’ southern neighbor would become a hideaway for her now-missing daughter, Laura, and hundreds of other children taken from the coun try after often bitter custody battles. “I love her and miss her; I am willing to do anything to get her back," a tearful Luna said. Her 7- year-old daughter has been miss ing two years. Her father, Joel Garcia, is sus pected of taking her to the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas. They may be living in the capital, Ciudad Victoria, or Rio Bravo, a city near Matamoros across the Rio Grande from Brownsville. Officials say problems can arise when parents have dual citizenship and when a court order from one country pertains to a child in an other country.
