The opening of missions in Hanoi and Washington underscores the quickening improvement in relations after two decades of bitterness over a 10-year war that killed nearly 60,000 Americans and as many as 2 million Vietnamese. In Washington, White House spokeswoman Dee Dee Myers said, "It's the furtherance of a step the president announced when he lifted the trade embargo." 300,000 of its soldiers as missing. A State Department spokesman, Mike McCurry, said the date for opening the offices would depend on working out the return of each other's diplomatic properties.

Vietnam said the two sides had reached a tentative agreement and only the wording of the documents remained to be decided. Vietnamese officials predicted the offices would be operating in two or three months. Clinton ended a 19-year embargo on U.S. trade with Vietnam on Feb. 3, citing improvements in cooperation from Vietnam's communist leaders in accounting for American servicemen missing from the war.

He said then that he planned to open a U.S. diplomatic office in Vietnam. U.S. officials said the office would handle trade and business, tourism and culture and help in the continuing effort to determine the fate of 2,233 American MIAs.

His relationship with Tune had not been a violent one, just one that had run its course as far as Tune was concerned, Davis said. Earlier this month, Tune requested a temporary restraining order to keep Nguyen from coming to her home. She had broken up with him, but Nguyer. continued to appear at her parents' West Edgewood Street horns.

He never threatened her and had told her he would never harm her, Davis added. Tune could not be reached for comment Thursday night. Her mother, Barbara Tune, said the family did not want to talk. The stabbing happened in the presence of the newest Greene County judge. Davis has occupied the family court bench since early April.

Before that, he was a longtime Springfield Municipal Court judge and had been presiding judge there since 1989. "I've had people pass out and feign heart attacks," Davis said. "But this is probably the most serious thing that's happened in my courtroom." And unfortunately, it could happen again. "What security we have is visually they come through the door," Davis said. It's no secret that security is a concern in the old building.

It's a big reason construction is under way for a new justice center. Other than the occasional searches of those who are known to be dangerous, "We really have no security, none whatsoever," said bailiff Mike Jenson. Courthouse employees say it should not be this way. "But (better security) requires gobs and gobs of money, so I don't know what the philosophy would be," Davis said. For now, at least, there is a new attitude among some who work there.

"My fear is this guy sneaked through with a weapon so there are going to be others," Davis said. "We'll have to be more careful." Teen Students troubled Continued from 1A female senior who didn't want to be identified said Bruton was not considered popular. "He wasn't in the 'in' crowd, but he wasn't what you would call a troublemaker either," she said. Though many students didn't know Bruton, his death was the topic of conversation at the school Wednesday. "It scares you, makes you stop and think who's next," said the senior.

"I've lived here all my life and it didn't used to be like that." Ozark High School principal Dennis Miller said a crisis management team was available throughout the day to counsel students. A network of crisis management counselors from inside and outside the district was on standby, he said. Otherwise, school went on as usual. "It's very important at times like this to provide that structure and normalcy so students have something to hold on to to get them through," Miller said. Christian County officials will continue their investigation today, Whitney said.
