Coroner frees 54 fetuses to religious groups in California
A coroner in Los Angeles released 54 fetal remains found in a San Bernardino County field to religious groups for burial, triggering potential litigation from the ACLU which questions state sanctioning of religious belief and cites California law requiring cremation. The remains were recovered after a 1997 discovery and a criminal probe was completed.

U S envoy Richard Holbrooke met Slobodan Milosevic in Belgrade for three hours seeking Western terms to end the Kosovo conflict. NATO allies and Russia's stance colored the talks as Holbrooke planned a Pristina meeting with Ibrahim Rugova before returning. Madeleine Albright warned time to a peaceful settlement was nearly gone. NATO commander Gen Wesley Clark said airstrikes were being prepared despite Milosevic’s resistance.

Netanyahu taps Ariel Sharon to lead talks with Arafat
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu named hawkish Ariel Sharon to head senior foreign ministry talks with the Palestinian Authority as a final status summit in Washington nears. Sharon vows not to shake Yasser Arafat’s hand, angering Palestinians and rivals while signaling possible partial concessions. Netanyahu seeks to mollify right wing critics and shield his government, though analysts warn the move binds him to hard line policies. US views Jewish settlements as an obstacle to the land for peace framework.
