Governors urge Clinton to fund Wilson Bridge reconstruction
Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore and Maryland Governor Parris Glendening pressed President Clinton for full federal funding to replace the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, warning that delays could trigger a regional transportation crisis. They note the bridge is the sole federally owned link in the interstate system and likely require weight restrictions within seven years with an estimated cost of 1.8 billion, unaffordable for the states.

Elliott Jasikevicius prove worth to Maryland Terrapins
Jasikevicius and Elliott came to Maryland with little fanfare and became key contributors over four years, helping the Terps rebound after Joe Smith left and reach the NCAA tournament. Both will not be ACC stars or NBA-bound, but their steady play earned respect and marked their final Cole Field House appearance alongside Matt Kovarik. Jasikevicius, from Kaunas, faced the challenge of playing in the ACC without U.S. parents allowed to attend, while Elliott, a Baltimore product, developed from sixth man to 14.6-point starter.
