State Alabama POW returns home WASHINGTON (AP) Thirty-nine days after being captured by Iraqi: soldiers near the Kuwait border with Saudi Arabia, Army Spec. David Lockett returned home Sunday to a hero's welcome. Lockett, 23, of Bessemer was one of 21 prisoners of war in Iraq who arrived Sunday at Andrews Air Force Base, shook hands with top-ranking defense officials and them rushed into the embrace of family members.
Miltary officials went out of their way to ensure the privacy of the family reunions. The press and public were kept behind fences, well away from the former captives and their families, both during and after the brief welcoming ceremony. After the official greetings and family reunion, Lockett was taken to Walter Reed Army Medical Center for up to a week of convalescence and medical evaluation. "One of the most important things for people who have been in situations like this is to have a decompression period a time to relax, regain your self-control, and get further treatment if they are physically said Capt. Barbara Goodno, an Army spokeswoman.
Air Force Col. Wynn Mabry, the flight surgeon who has accompanied the POWs since their release last week, said they all were progressing well medically from what was "mentally and physically a very challenging experience." Lockett was captured along with Army Spec. Melissa Rathbun-Nealy when they were on a patrol along the Kuwait border with Saudi Arabia. Rathbun-Nealy, the first American woman held prisoner during combat since World War Il, suffered bullet and shrapnel wounds in one arm during the capture. Lockett enlisted in the Army after graduating from Hueytown Community High School in 1985.
His sister, Jeanette Williams, said he saw the Army as a way to become independent and to earn a college education. Abortion opponents see little chance MONTGOMERY (AP) A state senator who in 1990 helped lead an unsuccessful push to restrict abortions in Alabama said he sees even less chance of abortion opponents winning a victory in the Legislature this year. "Our chances are less this year than last year because of the critical problems we have in the budget," said state Sen. Chip Bailey, D-Dothan. Bailey was co-sponsor of two abortion restriction bills that died in the Legislature last year.
"The abortion issue may gain momentum, but it seems at present that the momentum is at a standstill." One of last year's bills would have blocked doctors from aborting fetuses 20 weeks old or older that could live outside the mother's womb, except to save a mother's life. The bill passed the House but died in the Senate. The other bill would have banned abortion except for cases of rape, incest or danger to the life of the mother. That bill died in both the House and Senate. Sen.
Danny Corbett, D-Phenix City, an opponent of the bills to restrict abortions, said he does not expect any such bills to make it to the floor in this year's regular session, which starts April 16. Cathy Wood, president of Alabamians for Choice, said her group is organizing to counter the push for an anti bill. "We don't want to paralyze the Legislature, but I think there is going to be a battle," she said. In exchange for help from other groups on the abortion issue, Alabamians For Choice will support efforts to improve health care and other services for children, she said.

Garn thinks NASA has become timid WASHINGTON (AP) Was NASA exercising the proper degree of caution when it allowed a tiny crack to postpone the flight of space shuttle Discovery? Or has the space agency become too timid? Sen. Jake Garn, R-Utah, who flew aboard Discovery in 1985, says NASA lacks the courage to "take the smallest chance" in the aftermath of the Challenger accident that claimed seven lives. The space agency denies it. "If there was a national defense or some emergency reason why we needed to go fly, I don't think any of us would have any hesitation to go fly this bird," said William Lenoir, head of NASA's space flight program. being conservative." The problem that confronted space agency executives wasn't as clear-cut as the one last year when two space shuttles developed fuel leaks.
The issue then was whether flawed parts needed to be replaced for safety. There are two 4-foot-long doors on the underside of the shuttle that are open during liftoff to accommodate huge pipes from the vehicle's fuel tank. The doors should shut tight when the empty tank drops away. "If that door is opened anything greater than a half inch, you got big troubles," says Dan Germany, manager of orbiter systems at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Any crack in the thermal shield would provide a path for the intense heat of re-entry into the atmosphere and threaten the survival of the crew.
"If you get on orbit and you don't have the doors closed, it's not a good day," Germany said. DEBT RELIEF Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Shinbaum, Thiemonge and Howell, P.C.

The priceless pieces included: pages from a 7th-century Koran, the Muslim holy book; crystal chess pieces made in Egypt in the 10th century, and a superb collection of pure wool carpets from Turkey and Persia dating from the 14th to 17th centuries. Other museum works included Mongol dagger handles made of gold and inlaid with diamonds and emeralds, hundreds of signature seals made of clay in ancient Greece and Rome, carved marble from India and a huge collection of vases and gold jewelry from throughout Asia and the Middle East. Lying amid the rubble was an ancient Greek pillar of Persian design that had toppled and cracked into a number of pieces. "This was a real smash and grab operation," said U.S. Army Lt.
Col. Jeffrey Greenhut, who has a doctorate in history from Kansas State University and is assisting the Kuwaitis with rebuilding plans. "This is a crime against civilization and it makes me mad enough to want to shoot someone." Motors on the left and right sides drive the mechanisms that close the doors. Cracks an eighth of an inch deep were found in metal "lugs" that surround a half-inch pin on each side. Engineers thought they knew why the left lug was cracked pad crews had tried to close it while it was latched open but there was no explanation for the right lug failure.
"I don't think we are being too cautious," says Robert Crippen, a former astronaut who heads the shuttle program. "A lot of people believed the shuttle was safe to fly. But some elements of the (engineering) community were uncomfortable, primarily because we could not define the event which would have caused the right hand door lug to crack." Garn, a space booster who wangled a ride on Discovery six years ago, said he'd fly the shuttle "tomorrow morning, even without fixing the cracks in the door." FURS! Mink Fox Long and short.
