Clinton fails to revive Syria Israel peace talks in Geneva
President Clinton and Syrian President Assad left Geneva with no breakthrough as differences persist over a renewed Syria Israel dialogue. White House spokesman Lockhart warned talks are not productive to resume now while Barak focuses on Lebanon, Palestinian talks, and broader push for a land for peace deal involving the Golan Heights. Yasser Arafat maintained optimism amid U.S. efforts.

Jury awards ex smoker $20 million in damages
A San Francisco jury ordered Philip Morris and R J Reynolds to pay $20 million in punitive damages to Leslie Whiteley and her husband for harm from smoking after 1969. They also awarded $1.7 million in compensatory damages. Whiteley began smoking in 1972, quit in 1998 after a small cell lung cancer diagnosis, and faces likely death this year. The verdict follows years of similar suits and may be appealed.
