Albright Says Hussein Near Admission of Gas Attacks

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says Saddam Hussein has virtually admitted possible use of chemical or biological weapons in Iraq. She notes the Iraq-U.N. standoff, Russia’s moves to curb Iran missile tech, and warns Israel Palestine talks may not quickly resolve the impasse while Netanyahu and Arafat visit Washington. Albright remains an optimist but stresses tough diplomacy and ongoing inspections. She appeared with a team of Middle East advisers outside her office as the region faces multiple crises and opportunities.

Record reveals meat plants ran despite critical sanitation flaws

Washington AP reports Cox Newspapers obtained a 1996 USDA inspection database showing 138,593 critical citations across about 6,400 plants.

Officials say citations aimed to prevent unsafe product and that new inspection rules, effective January 26, will empower withdrawal of inspection for chronic failures. Critics question industry safety commitments under the new system.
