Senate panel approves OConnor for Supreme Court seat
Senate Judiciary Committee advances Sandra Day OConnor in a 17 to 0 vote with one present, moving toward full Senate confirmation. The Arizona appeals court judge, 51, opposed abortion but declined to state how she would vote on abortion cases, and signaled wary views on busing and combat roles for women. If confirmed, she would be the first female justice, replacing Justice Stewart.

100 Position Blockade Ahead at Diablo Canyon
About 100 backpacked protesters led some 3000 anti nuclear activists to form a land and sea blockade plan near Diablo Canyon, aiming to halt nuclear fuel loading at the PG&E plant while police watch. Abalone Alliance says routes will be blocked and only nonviolent civil disobedience will occur.
