Press conference - President Clinton shrugs off poorer poll numbers and

defends himself over charges of indecisiveness and drift. “I’m fighting to change

things. The American people know one thing, that I’m on their side.”

In San Diego, President Clinton tells a TV

audience that he will deliver on his campaign

promise of a middle-class tax cut within his four

tear term, but he first needs to get the federal

budge back in balance.

President Clinton is in a little hot water. He

received a haircut by a high-priced celebrity stylist

at Los Angeles International Airport, and backed-

up air traffic. A spokesman for the FAA said that

Air Force One’s late departure led to a 56-minute

closing of two LAX runways, but the White House

denies any delays were encountered. Some

airlines say the opposite is true - that one was

delayed by 25 minutes.

In Fresno (CA) - two men toting semiautomatic weapons walk into a nightclub

and restaurant and open fire, killing seven and wounding two more.

Technology - Seems that the new Pentium chip, introduced last march is now

spawning a line of PC’s. Most manufacturers are expected to announce Pentium

PC’s soon.
