Camp David talk as Israel and PA plan summit with Clinton
Israel and the Palestinian Authority face a deadlock but agree to meet at Camp David in Maryland next week with President Clinton to outline the contours of a long awaited peace. Federal agents learned chest wound care and first aid during training for the 1993 Branch Davidian raid, an official said Wednesday. Protesters led by Rev. Al Sharpton planned a Wednesday march and rally outside a department store after a black man died in a choke hold by security guards.

Ministers from nine OPEC states met in March and backed a price range of 22 to 28 dollars per barrel, with production to rise or fall to keep within the window.
