Appeals court upholds Yonkers desegregation ruling
A federal appeals court in Manhattan unanimously affirmed a lower court ruling that Yonkers must desegregate its schools and subsidized housing. The decision, issued by a three judge Second Circuit panel, holds Yonkers liable for intentional racial segregation in housing and education dating to 1890. The court upheld the 1985 remedy plan requiring 200 subsidized housing units and a magnet school program.

Low amnesty takeup in upstate New York
BUFFALO The number of illegal aliens applying for legal status under a federal amnesty is very small in upstate New York. Of an estimated 5 000 illegals living outside NYC only 462 had applied since the pilot began last May, said Tom J Ingham of the Buffalo INS office. Officials have reduced or eliminated offices and staff due to the slow pace, hoping more eligible aliens will apply before the May 4 deadline. Nationally, officials expect about 2 million of the 6 million to leave when the program ends, with about 1 000 expected in upstate New York.
