Brief roundup of fires and political notes from AP dispatches
A 15 400 acre wildfire in Naples, Florida destroyed three mobile homes and prompted evacuations. Wind slowed the fire as crews reported slower progression than earlier in the week. In Denver, President Clinton backed a gun show background check measure while the governor boycotted his appearance. Columbine families feared politicization of the anniversary event. In Washington, House Republicans proposed partially subsidized prescription drug insurance for seniors, criticized as election year posturing. Also reported are amphibian declines in Nature, a clot-busting drug study in NEJM showing racial gaps, and Rep Patrick Kennedy urging LAPD to release a surveillance video from a recent airport confrontation.
