Louisiana Bill Strikes Down Race Declaration Law
Louisiana House passes a bill to repeal an antiquated race declaration law by 90 votes to 44. The measure follows a court case where Susan Guilllory Phipps of Sulphur was denied changing her race on her birth certificate. Analysts cite the study as evidence for stronger rules on hazardous waste and race.

Scientist calls bee rain theory absurd in yellow rain study
AP Science Writer Paul Raeburn reports Chester Mirocha of the University of Minnesota challenges the bee or bee-droppings explanation for yellow rain toxins found in Southeast Asian refugees. He notes fusarium fungus could produce tricothecenes under certain conditions, but pollen presence and toxin patterns complicate the theory. State Department officials insist toxins stem from deliberate biological attacks, while Moscow denies these charges.
