By a vote of 2 to 1, the FCC adopted a complex plan that would license as many as seven new wireless services in every American city and town, each of which could be a potential competitor to today's cellular companies. For consumers, the competition could bring innovative services at attractive prices. These could include highly sophisticated pocket phones, palm-size computers and laptops that receive video pictures.

Unlike the current cellular phones, which use the more limited analog technology, the new products will all be digital. They'll offer users more privacy and clarity and be able to handle more data. "This will profoundly change the way people communicate," said FCC Chairman James Quello. But for the businesses that would have to spend billions of dollars to win licenses and build networks, the number of potential players may make the risks too high for some companies to enter news organizations, the FEC ruled.

Hillary Clinton, defending her career as a lawyer, commented, "I suppose could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas."

Some technology experts say the move could transform the way people communicate much as the invention of the telephone did more than a century ago. The technology holds rich promise: a broad new family of portable phones and computer services that could be cheaper and more powerful than today's cellular networks. But the bidding could be even richer. The government hopes to raise $10.2 billion in auctioning off thousands of new licenses for the WASHINGTON Robertson ordered to repay funds The Associated Press The Federal Election Commission (FEC) ordered religious broadcaster Pat Robertson on Thursday to pay back almost $400,000 in disputed expenditures from his failed 1988 presidential campaign.

"It's our duty to keep the memory alive because we're the last generation to hear the stories firsthand (from survivors)," said Devo-rah Pomerantz, 15. Levine and other Jewish leaders met with Seven Hills city officials Thursday to discuss the group's plans for continued protests and the city's response. The Jewish group has agreed to reach out to the Ukrainian community for discussions about the case of the Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk.

Yom Kippur: CONTINUED FROM PAGE Al full text in their 1978 High Holiday prayer book, Gates of Repentance, according to Richard S. Sarason, professor of rabbinic literature and thought at the Reform seminary on Clifton Avenue. Before that, Reform prayer books acknowledged Kol Nidrei's existence if a congregation wanted to recite it at the appropriate places during the evening. Severe restrictions Even as they fought over the inclusion of Kol Nidrei, rabbis imposed severe limitations on its breadth to meet the allegation that a Jew's oath was worthless.

As a result, Kol Nidrei nullifies only obligations undertaken by individuals for themselves; it does not cancel contracts or obligations to other people. Still, the almost magical, ancient Aramaic words of absolution are so important that many congregations recite them three times. One popular explanation is that this allows late-comers to participate. Likelier reasons, according to Hebrew Union College's Sarason, I the game at all, some industry executives complained Thursday. Andrew Barrett, the FCC commissioner who cast the dissenting vote, said he feared the commission would splinter the market and make it impossible for entrants to raise money on Wall Street.

"In an attempt to make everyone happy, the majority has created a consensus decision that involves a complicated labyrinth," he wrote in his dissent to Thursday's decision. "I believe this decision has serious flaws." But the FCC's majority view, held by Quello and Commissioner Ervin Duggan, was strongly in favor of fostering as much competition as possible in the hope of spurring low prices for consumers. Duggan said the agency was trying to give the marketplace enough flexibility to accommodate different visions of what personal communication services should be. "We are making educated guesses," he said. "But I am confident that we are erring on the educated side of that phrase." said Thursday that House approval of an amendment on homosexuals in the military would undermine President Clinton's policy.

In a letter to House Armed Services Committee Chairman Ron Dellums, Aspin urged rejection of the Republican-sponsored measure that would reinstate questioning of recruits and service members about their sexual orientation. In January, Clinton directed the military to stop questioning recruits about their sexual preference, a decision backed by both the House and Senate. The president's policy says homosexual orientation is not a bar to service, but homosexual conduct itself would still be prohibited. TelePrompTer glitch didn't faze Clinton Washington Post You could not tell by the delivery, but President Clinton faced a technical problem Wednesday night before his televised speech: an old address was fed into his TelePrompTer instead of the health care speech he was supposed to deliver. According to White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers, the first five or so minutes of the text scrolling across the machine was his State of the Union Address.

But Clinton had the paper version of the health-care speech with him and offered it up with barely a blink. "We don't quite know what happened there," Myers said. it was "akin to the major theme of the day, that you can wipe out what was." Myth and mystery Myth as much as mystery surrounds Kol Nidrei. Some Jews said the ritual responded to forced conversions to Christianity in medieval Spain and to persecutions by Christians in the Byzantine empire. Cooper said that theory is fantasy because there is evidence Kol Nidrei was popular before those events.

Generally, the text of Kol Nidrei has been constant over the years, except for one major change. Early versions revoked vows "from the Day of Atonement that has passed to this Day of Atonement." For the past 800 years, however, most congregations have adopted a wording that annulled vows "from this Day of Atonement to the next Day of Atonement." And not surprisingly, Balk said, some retain both versions. i LEVI'S8 LEVI'S LEVI'S LEVI'S LEVI'S LEVI'S8 LEVI'S LEVI'S LEVI'S LEVI'S 550 INSTANT NOW 29.99 550 AGED BLEACH NOW 29.99 550 BLACKBLACK.

Also, "it becomes more intense with repetition," Sarason added, with pitch and volume rising. For all the controversy, Balk said, there are at least three explanations for Kol Nidrei's continuing prominence in the liturgy: The simplest reason is that Kol Nidrei reflects the importance of the language of repentance; "Right off, we show God that we're serious about this." Some Jewish mystics say, "We're reminding God: 'You can repeal your vows, This refers to vows that God makes in anger against the Jewish people. To bolster this argument, mystics point to passages that have become part of the congregational response to Kol Nidrei.
