A Canadian woman Lucia Garofalo and Algerian companion Bouabide Chamchi were arrested at the U S border.

Clinton pardons mutiny convict Freddie Meeks at 80
Freddie Meeks, an octogenarian from Los Angeles, received a presidential pardon from Bill Clinton as part of a Christmas clemency wave. Meeks was among 50 black sailors court martialed for mutiny after a 1944 Port Chicago explosion that killed 320, with two ships lost and 390 injured. He served under two years of a 15 year sentence and later had a productive life, expressing forgiveness and praise for the president.
