Geneva Split Over One Arab Delegation At Geneva Opening
A Jordanian official said Arab unity favors a single all Arab delegation at the Geneva conference with Palestinians not in the PLO invited to join via the Jordanian bloc. Israel, once opposed, now accepts a unified delegation pending no change to UN Security Council resolutions. The plan hinges on Palestinian credentials and final word by Jordan’s king.

Rand Study Pushes All-Volunteer Force Balance
Rand's national security division urges the Pentagon to shift to a higher share of career personnel in the armed services. The report notes current 40 percent careerists versus 60 percent first termers and recommends a 50 to 60 career mix to cut training costs and boost retention. Taxpayers could save about 1.6 billion annually. The study also observes more black volunteers since the draft ended and that black enlistment would be similar under either force structure.

Radioactive leaks at Rocky Flats plant prompt health fears

A federal study warns the radiation could cause a cancer death and a genetic defect among 1.6 million people in the Denver area, though figures are far below some estimates.
