The eclipse was partial, with a band of sun always visible. Why? The moon doesn't fully cover the ''sun because it is relatively far from Earth in its elliptical orbit.

'A rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world' Resolute Mandela a Disciplining doctors Number of disciplinary actions taken for every 1,000 practicing doctors. if 1990 "esssff 589 i il 9 II National 'laoa sworn in BY BILL KELLER The New York Times PRETORIA, South Africa With the commanding dignity that has carried him through more than half a century of defiance, captivity and conciliation, Nelson Mandela became the first black president of South Africa on Tuesday. In a resolute voice, he swore the oath to become the 10th leader of South Africa since its union in 1910 but the first elected with the participation of the black majority. With the words, "Never, never and never again," Mandela banished the system of racial oppression he fought all his life and pledged a better future for all his compatriots black and white in "a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world." Mandela lavished praise on F.W. de Klerk, the president who collaborated with him in negotiating the end of white rule and who Tuesday took the oath as one of Mandela's two vice presidents.

For the day, at least, blacks and whites were united taking in the recently unimaginable: There was Fidel Castro on his first visit to the country that tried to pulverize his army in Angola. And Muslim and Hindu prayers broadcast into the air of what has been the most rigidly, officially Christian of capitals. And the Navy band in dress whites entertaining dignitaries with a Zulu migrant labor song. And Mandela, commander in chief, reviewing the defense force built, in large part, to prevent someone like him taking power. In elections that concluded April 29, Mandela's African National Congress won more than 62 of the vote, earning 252 of the 400 seats in the National Assembly that Monday elected Mandela.

Problems lie ahead, A6 'Due process at its finest' BY TIM BONFIELD The Cincinnati Enquirer In November, 1993, Groesbeck family doctor Vijender Goel pleaded guilty to attempting to force sexual contact with two patients. It may take until this November for the Ohio State Medical Board to decide whether to suspend or revoke his medical license. In the meantime, Goel sees patients, Those familiar with the disciplinary system say such delayed action is typical of state medical boards in Ohio and across the nation. "This is slower than anybody would like, but this is due process at its finest," said Lauren Lubow, case control officer for the Ohio State Medical Board. Goel, who practices at the Bach-man-Goel Medical Clinic, 9019 Colerain was indicted in June, 1993, on one count of felonious sexual penetration and two counts of gross sexual imposition.

Goel pleaded not guilty to the felony charges. He told police that the women misunderstood his intentions and that he did not remember committing the alleged acts. The case never went to trial. Instead, Goel pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted gross sexual imposition, a misdemeanor offense. He was given a suspended sentence of six months in jail and three years' probation.

He also was fined $2,000 and ordered to serve 300 hours of community service. Enter the state medical board the independent government agency that decides which doctors can practice in Ohio. Source: Gannett News Service if 11 jMf 4 The Cincinnati Enquirer If a doctor is convicted of any of 10 violent felonies, such as rape or murder, license revocation is automatic. If a doctor is charged with substance abuse or incompetency of such a degree that patient lives are at risk, the board can order a temporary suspension until a final decision is made. But in misdemeanor convictions, due process takes its course.

And doctors are free to practice all the while. "God's conviction is not legally sufficient to warrant a summary suspension," Lubow said. "When you're talking about depriving a doctor of his right to earn a living, the level of proof must be high.

Browning collapsed motionless to the ground in front of the pitching mound, obviously in excruciating pain. Reds television announcer Chris Welsh, a former major-league left-handed pitcher, immediately told his audience that Browning would be better off if the injury were a bone break than a shoulder separation.
