Missouri lawmakers, Danforth to seek nursing home fixes
Jefferson City lawmakers from the Missouri House and Senate will meet with Attorney General John Danforth to craft a temporary solution for nursing homes violating state rules. Danforth has filed injunctions against 12 noncompliant facilities and seeks $22,500 to hire six lawyers to press the suits. Local prosecutors lack staff to enforce 200 pages of regulations affecting about 170 homes, with more than 600 operating without licenses. Citizens express concern over closures and harm to residents, while advocates want a legislative solution and possible moratoriums on suits except for the worst facilities. The 2 p.m. meeting in the Attorney General’s Office aims to align actions with pending legislation.

SEC Reports Didn't Show Clements Suit
Washington AP The Securities and Exchange Commission says Sedco Inc led by William P. Clements Jr omitted from filings any notice of a civil action accusing Clements the company and others of conspiracy and fraud.

Abominable Snowman Tracks Reported Near Katmandu
An American expedition in Nepal found large ape like footprints at 12 500 feet near a camp. Dr Howard Emery and Ted Cronin reported tracks nearly nine inches long and five inches wide, with casts made by Jeffrey McNeely. They followed tracks half a mile in fresh snow before vanishing. McNeely said the prints resemble a primate and may belong to an animal unknown to science, but no new evidence for Yeti was presented.

Fisher urged that the President and officials cannot rely on others to fill gaps with statements.
