Early warnings help
Chicago brace storm
1 CHICAGO — Meteorologist
Tom Skilling cut short a vaca
tion in Alaska so he could return
home a day before a snowstorm
hobbled travel through Chicago.
He knew the storm was coming
because he had predicted it a
week earlier.
Thanks to advancements in
radar, computers and satellites,
Skilling and other forecasters
had a far clearer picture of what
was coming than they had during
the city’s previous major bliz
zards.
They didn’t know exactly how
serious it would be, but their
warnings — combined with the
storm’s arrival on a holiday
weekend instead of during the
busy work week — helped soften
its blow.
From Friday through Sunday,
21.6 inches of snow fell at Chica
go’s O'Hare International Air
port, including a one-day record
of 18.6 inches for Saturday. The
city’s greatest sustained storm
dumped more than 34 inches
over 10 days in January 1979.
Elizabeth Dole for
president?
2 WASHINGTON — Elizabeth
Dole, a Cabinet member in two
GOP administrations whose hus
band lost to President Clinton in
1996, said Monday she will leave
her job with the American Red
Cross to pursue a potential White
House bid of her own.
Mrs. Dole, 62, made her plans
known as Sen. John Ashcroft pri
vately told surprised supporters
that he will announce Tuesday
that he has decided not to run for
president. The Missouri lawmak
er had spent the last year laying
the groundwork for a presiden
tial bid, and was considered one
of the strongest prospects among
social conservatives.
Addressing 500 cheering,
sometimes teary-eyed employ
ees, Mrs. Dole announced plans
to leave in two weeks, after near
ly eight years as head of the non
profit relief group. “There may be
another way for me to serve our
country," she said at the organiza
tion’s historic headquarters two
blocks from the White House.
In an interview later, Mrs. Dole
said she plans to decide by
March whether to run. “I’m go
ing to give it serious considera
tion,” she said. Yet friends and
allies say Mrs. Dole is deter
mined to run for president if her
financial and political support is
as strong as she suspects.
“I’m sure she’s preparing to
commit herself,” said pollster
Tony Fabrizio, who worked for
former Sen. Bob Dole’s 1996
presidential campaign.
shed at holy sites would trigger
the Second Coming of Jesus
Christ and the Armageddon that
the Bible says will follow.
Three detained cult members
who were ordered to appear be

“I am not here to hurt any
body,” one of the men, identified
in court papers as John Bayles,
told Judge Nira Diskin.
Israeli authorities fear the Con

forerunner and that scores of oth

out their apocalyptic fantasies.

lenge the dollar’s international
dominance.
Some suggested if the euro is
too strong, it could hurt both the
U.S. and European economies.
With the euro trading above
expectations, European officials
were delighted at the successful
launch of their ambitious eco
nomic and monetary union,
tightly linking 11 nations and^
their 292 million residents.
After starting off at $1.1668
early in the trading day, the euro ,
hit a high of $1.1886 in Tokyo,
and slipped slightly to $1.1820 in
late European trading. In New
York, the euro cost $1.1830 in
late trading.
French central banker Jean
Claude Trichet welcomed the
euro’s strength as “the best pos
sible omen.”
