By Patty Beutler Lincoln Journal-Star After more than a year, Nebraska's living-will law hasn't changed how doctors, patients and families make life-and-death But those decisions now have the force of the law, and that gives comfort to many, say health-care providers and living-will advocates. Nebraska's Rights of the Terminally 111 Act called "living will" legislation, although those words never appear in the statute has sparked awareness and some increase in the number of patients who enter local hospitals with written instructions about their care should they become incapable of making such decisions themselves.

Called advance medical directives, they include living wills and durable powers of attorney for health care. Many health-care providers say a year is not time enough to see leaps in the law's use, but they expect growth as more people learn about the issue. "Generally, I see that patients and their families are much more knowledgeable about health care," said Cheryl Rourke, clinical director of food in compound kitchens.

THE NEW diplomatic push for a peaceful political settlement represents a decision by Clinton to pursue a strategy largely independent of the United Nations, which has pressed for Aidid's arrest, and reflects Clinton's growing dissatisfaction with the U.N. approach. At the same time, administration officials said that VS. military forces Mogadishu are prepared to respond aggressively to new clashes with Aidid and his Habr Gedir clan, possibly with airstrikes on Aidid's arms depots in the interior of the country.

WASHINGTON (WP) Clinton administration officials Friday sought to lower the temperature of their military confrontation with Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid, saying they were preparing a peace overture that could include a ceasefire and possible exchange of prisoners.

U.S. Special Envoy Robert B. Oakley, dispatched to the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa Thursday night, Friday conferred by phone with top administration officials who told him to begin negotiations through intermediaries with Aidid, sources said.
