Trade showdown delayed on Clinton request in Congress
President Clinton and House Republican leaders paused action on a fast track trade bill after days of lobbying with votes short by about a half dozen.

Sagan’s solar system model marks birth of famed astronomer
In Ithaca New York a scale model of the solar system honors Carl Sagan with a 0.75 mile stretch of obelisks from the sun to nine planets. The display, created near Cornell University, places each planet on a five billion to one scale. Simultaneously at Vandenberg Air Force Base a Delta rocket launched satellites for handheld phones, producing a sky show likened to the aurora. In London scientists report preventing ovarian cell death in mice using fumonisin B1 and sphingosine-1-phosphate, a potential menopause-delaying approach noted as experimental and possibly applicable to humans.
