"In the end, I have not come this far to see the law let men who have done such things dodge their responsibility," a crying Mrs. Jones said at a news conference with her lawyers. "I believe what Mr. Clinton did to me was wrong, and the law protects women who are subjected to that kind of abuse of power." Clinton, on a state visit in Chile, said he felt good about a federal judge's April 1 dismissal of the Jones suit and he declined to comment on the latest turn.

"It's a very unusual political environment, but I'm just not going to let the politics get in my way," he said. Mrs. Jones' widely anticipated appeal set the stage for a lengthy extension of the legal battle over her allegation of a Clinton advance in a Little Rock hotel room in 1991 while he was governor of Paula Jones whispers to her husband, Stephen, during a news conference in Dallas Thursday. Earlier in the conference, Jones announced that she would ask an appeals court to reverse a judge's dismissal of her lawsuit and force President Clinton to stand trial for sexual harassment. NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) -Tornadoes tore through Tennessee and Arkansas Thursday, blowing out windows and ripping off roofs in downtown Nashville and splintering mobile homes in rural areas earlier in the day. Four people, including a little brother and sister, were killed in rural parts of Arkansas and Tennessee. "People heard it but couldn't see it," Manila, firefighter Michael White said of the early-morning twister that was cloaked by darkness and sheets of rain. "It passed probably 400 yards from my house. There was so much lightning and rain I didn't see anything." The earlier storm hit Manila, in northeastern Arkansas about 230 miles west of Nashville, about 3 a.m., killing Casey Lo-max, 3, and Brittany Lomax, 5.

Their parents were injured. An hour later, a tornado spawned by the same storm killed Paul and Peggy Kolwyck in Roellen, about 50 miles east of Manila. Their bodies were found 200 to 250 feet from their trailer home, which was torn apart. Thursday afternoon another tornado struck Nashville. About 100 people were injured.

Cecil Whaley of the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency said most of the injuries were from flying glass and none was believed life-threatening. Whaley said it appeared a single tornado touched down east of downtown at about 3:45 p.m. and then skipped across the city for three or four miles. Gov. Don Sundquist declared 'W AP Americans unaware of changes planned for Social Security Arkansas.

Attorneys not connected with the case say she faces long odds in trying to persuade an appeals court to overturn the dismissal. Thursday's news conference in. ing raises retirees now get from Social Security was unknown to 46 percent of those surveyed. "The public is hungry for more information about the state of Social Security and how it will affect them and their families," said Carolyn Lukensmey-er, executive director of the Americans Discuss Social Security project, which released the poll Thursday. People were least likely to know that lawmakers are talking about removing the cap on annual earnings subject to Social Security taxes, now set at $68,400.

Only 11 percent said they were following news reports about the Social Security debate "very closely" most of them over'age 50. But 64 percent complained that there has been too little media coverage. President Clinton and Republican leaders in Congress say they want to work together next year to prepare Social Security for the retirements of millions of baby boomers. At a town meeting last week in Kansas City, Clinton said he believes it will not take a drastic overhaul.

WASHINGTON (AP) -Most Americans are in the dark about changes lawmakers are considering to ensure Social Security's survival through baby boomer retirements, a new poll finds. Almost nine out of 10 people 87 percent said they've heard little or nothing about proposals to let individuals take charge of investing their own Social Security contributions in private accounts, for example. Nearly half, 45 percent, knew nothing of this idea, which is supported by many Republicans and some moderate Democrats. Another plan with even broader support in Congress reducing the yearly cost-of-liv- New book denounces Princess Di LONDON (AP) In a new book bound to enrage Princess Diana's legions of admirers, a philosophy professor denounces Diana as a muddled, self-obsessed woman who damaged the monarchy and herself. "Faking It: The Sentimental-ization of Modern Society" is to be published today by a right-wing think-tank called the Social Affairs Unit.

In it, a series of academics depict a country whose politics, arts, religion and even eating habits are dominated by self-indulgence and sentimentality. "Today's Britain is not let alone It is a fake society with fake institutions," the book's editors say. "The society's defining moment was Princess Diana's funeral, in which sentimentality mob grief was personified and canonized, the elevation of feelings above reason, reality and restraint." In a chapter called "Diana, Queen of Hearts," professor Anthony O'Hear of Bradford University writes: "In the Diana story, duty is a notion which is entirely absent. Nor in the version according to Diana and the tabloids are we even to entertain the thought that Diana's obsession with her own feelings and her self-development might have done damage to the monarchy, to her marriage, to her children and ultimately to herself." But O'Hear says despite her "self-indulgence and muddle," Diana wanted to make the world a better place, labeling that impulse "the positive side of her sentimentality." Wed. Thurs.
