President Clinton told investigators in April he felt personally responsible for the Waco siege tragedy, saying he made a terrible mistake after yielding to Justice Department pleas to storm the Branch Davidian compound in Texas seven years ago.

South Carolina to install median barriers on Interstates
South Carolina will add cable guardrails in medians to prevent crossover crashes following a seven fatality collision on Interstate 77 in Columbia. The first 10 mile segment will be renewed in September with springs and steel cables designed to absorb crash energy. Authorities say 1 77 is a priority due to multiple crossover fatalities, with a statewide plan to roll out barriers on about 1 000 miles of highways with narrow medians.
