Shuttle finally
hoping to launch
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
(AP) — After nearly a week of
delays, NASA hoped for a break
in the weather Wednesday that
would allow it to launch space
shuttle Endeavour to the interna
tional space station.
Endeavour will drop off a
new crew at the orbiting outpost
and bring home the three men
who have been living there for
the past six months. The shut
tle’s astronauts will also repair
the space station’s robot arm.
Forecasters on Tuesday put
the chances of acceptable
weather at just 40 percent.
Thunderstorms remained a
threat, in addition to thick
clouds and possibly gusty wind.
As part of the space agency’s
post-Sept. 11 anti-terrorism
measures, NASA kept the 5:23
p.m. launch time a secret until
24 hours in advance.
The three men aboard the
space station kept busy as the!
waited for their ride home
Americans Daniel Bursch an;
Carl Walz will surpass NASA
space endurance record net
week, an achievement they 4
not expect when they rockete:
into orbit in early December.
In March, NASA added,
month to the space statioi
crew’s mission to give tin i
Endeavour astronauts moit ‘
time to prepare for the wort |
on the robot arm. The arr
needs a new wrist joint, and:
pair of spacewalkers will per
form the surgery.
NASA tried to launc
Endeavour on the 12-day fligk ;
last Thursday but was thwam
by thunderstorms that ultimatel ■
pushed liftoff to Monday. The:
a pressure valve had to bf |
replaced, and the launch slippe;
to Wednesday.
Seventeen crime
family arrests made
NEW YORK (AP) — Seventeen alleged members ofttih
Gambino crime family, including two brothers of John Gotti, wen
arrested Tuesday and charged with such offenses as shaking down:
longshoremen’s union and trying to extort money from tough-gii
movie star Steven Seagal.
Prosecutors in Brooklyn said that convictions in the case woul: |
deal a crushing blow to Mafia infiltration of unions and businesse
along New York City’s waterfront.
Those charged include Peter Gotti, brother of the imprisons
Dapper Don. Peter Gotti was identified as the Gambino family sew I
rent boss. Another Gotti brother, Richard V. Gotti, and a nephe*;
Richard G. Gotti, were charged as well.
The alleged crimes included an attempt by Julius Nasso, a forme
business partner of Seagal, and others to “extort hundreds of thou I
sands of dollars from an individual in the film industry,” cow
papers said. Two law enforcement officials, speaking on conditio:
of anonymity, identified the extortion victim as Seagal.
Seagal’s attorney, Martin Pollner, said the star of such actio:
films as “Under Siege’’ and “Exit Wounds” had “severed his reli
tionship with Mr. Nasso some time ago.” The lawyer declined fw
ther comment.
Nasso sued Seagal earlier this year for $60 million, accusinghir
of backing out of a contract to perform in four movies.
The charges also included racketeering, extortion, gamblin:
money laundering and witness tampering.
Court papers allege the defendants used threats to assume coiM
of Brooklyn and Staten Island chapters of the Internation;'
Longshoremen’s Association. Once in control, they allegedly riggf
union elections and secured the award of a lucrative union heali
service contract for a mob-controlled company.
All the defendants were awaiting arraignment. Their attornc)
were not immediately available for comment.
Bush renews effort to
reshape welfare laws
Work requirements for welfare
recipients mean liberation, not
punishment. President Bush said
Tuesday as he renewed his effort
to shape welfare changes now
before Congress.
Lawmakers must renew the
nation’s 6-year-old welfare law
this year. The tough rules
included in the
reforms passed
in 1996, along
with a booming
economy, cut in
half the number
of people receiv
ing assistance.
Bush has used
several appear
ances over the
last month, at the
White House and
in several politi
cally important
states, to promote
A work
requirement isn’t
punishment. A work
requirement is liber

society.
— George W. Bush
President
his welfare agenda. Bush wants a
new law to push many more peo
ple to work many more hours in
order to continue getting govern
ment checks.
Gathered in the grand East
Room with about 100 welfare
success stories” and representa
tives of companies that have
hired them, the president urged
the Senate to approve a House-
passed measure that includes
many of his proposals.
“These are stories that are
being repeated all across the
country, compelling human
stories of people conquering
very tough odds to succeed, to
go from poverty to success
and from welfare to work ”
Bush said.
Bush tried to bolster his
ments should get stricter
saying that critics’ fears of
effects of the 1996 requi
ments had been unfound
Instead of an increase in pov
ty, millions of Americans
more than half of them child
— escaped poverty betwt
1996 and 2000, he said.

million peo
who still are

40 hours a w<
by 2007,
from an aver;
of about 30 F

now.
He a
would keep f

spending level, but inch

riage. He would allow a pod
of the 40 hours to be spent
education, work training ;
other programs.
Critics remain skeptical

Bush said his prop 0

“A work requirement i s
