A defendant could be found guilty if prosecutors prove he was party to conspiracy with another person.

Conspiracy convictions would mean the defendant was not involved in the actual crime but had some role in planning it. "Conspiracy covers either planning to commit the crime or somehow giving advice as to how to do it." BaLskus said. "If the guy said, OK, hit him over the head and throw him over the paper that could be significant for a conspiracy conviction," Balskus said.

Yeltsin visited Paris before going to the United States. Yeltsin was hospitalized for almost a month this summer, then took a long holiday. Presidential aides intially tried to play down the attack in July, claiming it was only a minor ailment And while he was in the hospital, they put out an old photo of him at work in an apparent attempt to show he was up and about. Yeltsin later said in a television interview that he had suffered a heart attack. His aides had earlier denied he had a heart attack.

The condition restricts the supply of blood to the heart. Symptoms include difficulty breathing or chest pains, and an attack can be caused by stress, high-cholesterol, age or chronic high blood pressure. The 64-year-old president has been dogged by persistent rumors about his drinking habits and poor health. But Yeltsin had appeared fitter recently and his aides had been talking about his making a bid for another presidential term in elections next summer. Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, Yeltsin's No.

MOSSCOW CAP) President Boris Yeltsin was hospitalized today with heart trouble, the ITAR-Tass news agency quoted a top presidential aide as saying. It was the second time in four months that Yeltsin was hospitalized with a heart ailment Yeltsin was rushed to the Central Clinical Hospital just two days after he returned from the United States, where he held a summit with President Clinton, news reports said. The presidential press service said it could not confirm the reports and the hospital refused to comment News agencies said Yeltsin was stricken with the same heart problem he was hospitalized with in July, acute ischemia.

Zakowski said. Meanwhile, defense lawyers making their closing arguments later today and possibly Friday likely will abandon all appearances of presenting a united front against the state's charges. The nature of "being party to" is an attempt by prosecutors to snare them all in one net.

Defendants' lawyers will make their closing arguments individually. They will get five minutes for rebuttal if their clients are included in allegations or theories advanced by other defendants. That's likely to happen. Royce Finne, Kutska's lawyer, said Wednesday he expected Hirn's lawyers to point the finger of blame at Kutska, Moore and Piaskowski. Piaskowski and his lawyer, Tim Pedretti, have hinted that Hirn, Kutska and Moore could have been involved.

Basten and Johnson, who reportedly were seen carrying something like a body near the vat where Monfils' body was found, are blaming David Wiener, the man who says he saw them. Defendants technically have no responsibility to prove their innocence. But some have tried to set up the scenario for other possible explanations. Once the lawyers begin closing arguments, they likely will stress those alternate theories to the jury. Monfils Zakowski said.

Josef Hebert Associated Press WASHINGTON President Clinton says he's determined to send U.S. troops to Bosnia as part of a peacekeeping mission, declaring a failure to participate would "be a sad mistake" and possibly drag America in a broader European conflict. The president, in his most emphatic defense yet for sending as many as 25,000 American troops to Bosnia as part of a NATO force, said if the United States doesn't take part its reputation around the world will be tarnished.

However, Conard said it was Johnson's job, and Conard didn't want to go there, in part because he knew Keith Kutska was playing a tape of Monfils telling police of Kutska's plan to steal an extension cord from the mill. at James River, said Rev Moore was one of only four black men working at the mill in November 1992. and that he was the only one on duty on the morning of Monfils' disappearance.

By most measures the economic outlook is better today than it was when Clinton took office in 1993: The nation's unemployment rate was 7.1 percent then; last month it stood at a five-year low of 5.6 percent. Early in his term, long-term interest rates stood at 7.5 percent, more than a percentage point higher than the current 6.3 percent yield on 30-year Treasury securities. Inflation almost surely will remain below 3 percent this year, the first time since the early 1960s that it will have stayed under that level for four straight years. But voters give Clinton little credit. Many Americans remain uncertain about their own economic circumstances and fearful of what the future may hold, whatever the economic statistics.

The unemployment rate has been low, but seemingly endless headlines announcing corporate down-sizmgs and layoffs have fed fears of job insecurity. Economists differ over whether actually balancing the budget makes much difference, especially if the deficit is declining as a proportion of the economy. As a percentage of GDP. the deficit for fiscal 1995. which ended Sept.
