British animal-rights protests end with 87 arrests

LONDON, Feb 11 (AFP) -

British police arrested 87 animal-rights activists on Sunday during synchronised and sometimes violent protests against animal testing laboratories throughout southern England,

authorities said.

Of those arrested, 81 were arrested at the Bayer research laboratory in Stoke Poges, northwest of London, when demonstrators smashed windows, upturned cabinets and

Yugoslavian police will arrest former President Slobodan

Milosevic as soon as prosecutors give the order, according

to Interior Minister Zoran Zivkovic.

Half way through starting this, I decided I can't tell

if this is pressing, or AP _desires_ it to be pressing.

I was thinking of pitching it as a secondary backup story,

but now I've got reservations.

Is anyone up on Serbia enough to know if this isn't

going to become a massive story overnite?

marc

looks like hillary was right

Should we not touch the Marc Rich case at all?

It looks like thanks to Senator Specter, that story's

going to rage on as if most important before during

AND after our broadcast.

He's going to actually try and impeach Clinton now?

Maybe we ought to try to find someplace to just use

the words "vast right wing conspiracy," out loud, eh?

j/k

depleted uranium, trident subs, navajo relocation, electricity, etc.

A longer story I'd like to develop soon might tie together

depleted uranium, trident subs, navajo relocation, the

US' electricity woes, Japan's nuke-electricity pact with

England, Hopi tribal government and US gov't.

For now though, do you think we ought to do a hard news

headline about this protest that either doesn't mention

Connery, or puts him on the same level as the two

Scottish politicians and the other 58ish who got

arrested?

this is for craig to play with
