Douglas beats Tyson, becomes world champ James Buster Douglas wore a world heavyweight championhship belt after his stunning knockout of Mike Tyson in Tokyo in June. At 1:23 of the 10th round, Douglas knocked Tyson out with a five-punch combi- nation. The title was in limbo during three days of bickering over the long count. Two of boxing ' s governing bodies undertook an investigation of whether Douglas, the underdog, was knocked out first. The final decision was in his favor. He pulled the greatest upset The Associated Pre in history, said Douglas ' father. ) South Africa ' s 4-year state of emergency lifted President F.W. deKlerk announced that the four-year old state of emergency would end at midnight Friday, June 8 in three of the South Africa ' s four provinces. The 4-year old state of emergency was lifted everywhere in the country Friday but in a region torn by black factional fighting, and a black jJLmion demanded that the emergency be ended there too. ' The action removes some of the harshest political restrictions ever Imposed by the country ' s white rulers and should help clear the way for Hplack-white negotiations on ending apartheid. Supreme Court defends flag burning rights n kuline strikes down Congressional law and prompts call for amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down on June 1 1 the law prohibiting flag burn- ing passed by Congress last year, renewing a fierce politi- cal fight over a constitutional amendment to protect the flag from desecration. By a narrow vote, the court reaffirmed a ruling last year that burning the flag was a type of expression. Punishing desecration of the flag dilutes the very free- dom thatmakes this emblem so revered, and worth rever- ing, Justice William Bren- nan wrote for the majority. The Associated Press Checkpoint Charlie gone Checkpoint Charlie, the tem- porary prefabricated hut that came to symbolize the Cold War, was dis- mantled Friday, June 22, in one of the most powerful signs yet of Eu- rope ' s blossoming detente. Checkpoint Charlie was erected as a military post shortly after the East Germans sealed off East Berlin in the tense summer of 1961 to prevent a human exodus to the West. To defend the freedom of movement in the city, the checkpoint was placed directly opposite the low crossing point for foreigners desig- nated by the East German authori- ties. Poindexter receives six-month sentence A federal judge sentenced for- mer White House national security advisor John M. Poindexter to prison for his role in the Iran-Contra scan- dal. U.S. District Judge Harold H. Greene gave Poindexter, 53, a six- month sentence for each of five crimes but ruled that they could be served concurrently. Poindexter, a former key ad- visor to President Ronald Reagan, showed no emotion as he became the first person convicted of crimes in the scandal sentenced to prison. 17

Israel forms right- wing government Just hours before a sun- down June 8 deadline, caretaker Prime Minister Yitzhak Sha- mir cobbled together a new government committed to ex- panding Israeli settlements in the rebellious West Bank and Gaza Strip and squashing the Palestinian uprising. The combination of Sha- mir ' s Likund Party with far- right and religious groups ap- pears to doom already flagging efforts by the Bush administra- tion to broker peace talks be- tween Israel and Palestinians. The coalition marks the first time since 1984 and the turmoil of the Lebanon inva- sion that Israel will be ruled by a fully right-wing government. Rappers jailed after ' obscene 1 concert A rap group kept its promise to sing lyrics from an album ruled obscene, and authorities kept their word by arresting two members of 2 - Live Crew after an adults-only concert. The early-morning arrests came four days after a federal judge declared obscene the Miami group ' s album As Nasty As They Wanna Be and two days after a record dealer was arrested for selling the record- ing, which had sold more than 1.7 million copies. 16 Nelson Mandela tours three continents Massive crowds turned out for African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela at every stop on his six-week tour oi three continents. Mandela visited 14 nations in Europe, North] America and Africa, with these goals: urging foreign govern-] ments to maintain sanctions against South Africa, raising fundsj for the ANC and explaining the goals of his movement. The Associated Presi Extinction threatens Everglades Marshland dying from man-made problems The ground is dry, cracked and hot to the touch. The grass is brown and crunches underfoot. Where there should b at least three feet of water, there is dust. This is partly the result of a severe drought that has gripped the 400,000-acre national park for 21 months. But it is| not the drought that is killing the Everglades. They are dyin from a 50-year struggle against man-made problems - agricul- ture, real estate development and pollution - that have suckec the Everglades dry, experts say. Biologists agree that the drought has quickened the Ever-] glades ' death march to a frightening pace. Experts predict that] if nothing is done to save them, the Everglades will be dead ii about 10 years. Dead and gone.

Earthquake in the Philipines A major earthquake jolted Manila and surrounding Luzon island on July 16, killing at least 193 people and leaving hundreds more trapped in collapsed buildings. Most of the victims in Baguio, about 50, were at the Hyatt Hotel. The entire front section of the Hyatt, the city ' s plushest hotel, col- lapsed. It appeared that floors containing guest rooms had crashed down onto the lobby, which includes the main restaurant, bar and shops. Aftershocks continued the following day, forcing many resi- dents to sleep on the streets after the quake, which measured 7.7 on the Richter scale. A 7.8 quake struck the Philipines in 1976, killing 8,000 people. Most died in a tidal wave that struck Mindaneo. The Associated Press Navratilova garners ninth title with straight-set victory On Saturday, July 7, on Wimbledon ' s Centre Court, there was no question. Martina Navratilova looking quick and strong and determined, demol- ished Zina Garrison 6-4, 6-1 and won her ninth Wimbledon singles title. The victory pulled Navratilova out of a tie with Helen Wills Moody for most Wimbledon singles championships, men ' s or women ' s varie- ty. Navratilova, 33, also became the oldest woman to win the coveted plate since Dorothea Lambert Chambers in 1914 at age 35. Iraq concentrating troops near border Iraq has moved nearly 30,000 elite army troops to its border with Kuwait and the Bush administration put U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf on alert as a dispute between the two nations over oil production quotas inten- sified, U.S. officials and Arab diplomats said Monday. Cash-strapped Iraq is angry because it contends Kuwait is exceeding the oil production levels agreed to by OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) members, driving down the price of crude oil. The Kuwaitis also have moved troops and Soviet made missiles to the border area and Monday reactivated a full military alert which had been called off last Friday, July 20. Officials said the United States and Arab governments were interpreting the Iraqi military buildup as an attempt to intimidate Kuwait, whose entire military barely exceeds 20,000. 18 Barr sings the national anthem It was crude, even lewd. But this time fans were spared seeing where she ' s tattooed. Still, many people said that Roseanne Barr was a disgrace for her shrill rendition of the na- tional anthem at a National League baseball dou- ble header and a crude on-field gesture afterward. They maintained the comedian who stars on the popular sitcom Roseanne did the best she could or may have become confused by the sound system ' s delay and resorted to shtick. Barr ' s behavior should not have come as a surprise. During a World Series game in Oakland last fall, Roseanne bared her derriere, revealing a tattoo declaring Tom - her husband, Tom Arnold. Barr was troubled by the criticism. She ' s very sorry. She ' s very upset that people think she meant disrespect. We weren ' t trying to disrespect that song at all, Arnold said. Randall, Smith make U.S. team Mark Randall of Kansas and Doug Smith of Missouri have made the team that will represent the United States in the Goodwill Games and the World Basketball Championships. The team consisting of 14 players will be coached by Mike Krzyzewski of Duke.
