Nerve gas found on Iraqi missile
U S officials report traces of VX nerve gas on an Iraqi warhead, boosting calls to extend and enforce sanctions. President Clinton urged not to lift sanctions until Iraq complies with U.N. resolutions, while UN envoy Richardson warned the allegation could thwart efforts to lift sanctions. The Pentagon confirmed VX presence on fragments, suggesting Iraq had produced and placed the chemical in weapons. Diplomats noted UN inspectors had discussed preliminary chemical analysis with Iraq, which denied the results.

Zinc ineffective for children’s colds in study
CHICAGO AP A controversial researcher behind the zinc lozenges craze says a new study finds zinc ineffective against cold symptoms in children and teens. Dr Michael L. Macknin of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation suggests the tested lozenges may have had too little zinc or the cherry flavoring impaired its effect.
