Madeleine Albright earned a reputation as a vigorous promoter of American aims during four years as UN ambassador. Her hawkish, outspoken style drew both praise and controversy among diplomats and critics alike as she pursued reform of the United Nations and US policy, including hard lines on Cuba. She stood firm on key votes, notably casting the lone dissent against a second term for Boutros Boutros-Ghali in the Security Council.

Parents wrap up O.J. suit
In Santa Monica California plaintiffs in O J Simpson s wrongful death trial near the end of their case rely on emotional testimony from Nicole Brown Simpson s mother Juditha Brown and Ronald Goldman s father Fred Goldman videotaped remarks from Ronald Goldman s mother Sharon Rufo and DNA testimony from a mathematician plus input from Simpson s lawyer. It is unclear whether Simpson will attend as relatives testify again. The judge warned jurors not to use a battered women s shelter hotline call about Nicole Simpson as evidence of stalking or threats and limited its relevance to state of mind before the killing.
