One of Alexander's largest projects is Fox River Mills, a $17 million apartment and commercial been putting together a financing package to restore Wil-Manor. He said last month that he expects the project could cost about $2 million. Wil-Manor, plagued with crime and code violations, was closed by its owners a few months ago.

Once she spotted the banner, the front lawn at 1727 N. Main St. erupted into a hugfest as friends and relatives gathered around to congratulate the couple.

"My heart just sunk," a flushed Sheri said after she saw the banner. "I didn't expect it at all." It's likely they'll never forget the parade of July 1993. And neither will all the others who turned out to be treated to a morning of music, floats, clowns, food and enough red, white and blue to overwhelm even Betsy Ross. The parade, a Racine staple since 1937, didn't cease to pleasa all those attending. The Fourth of July weekend was a sort of old home days for Racine natives Alice and Earl Iselin.

They traveled to Racine from their home in Dayton, Ohio, to visit with friends and relatives, and so Alice could attend her eighth-grada class reunion. She graduated from St. Rose School 53 years ago. Both of them earned high school diplomas at St. Catherine's High School.

"They go all out here for the Fourth of July," Earl said. "They couldn't have had a better day for this." "At least there's a breeze this year," Alice chimed in as she clapped along with a musical number cranked out by the Racine Municipal Band. "Some years it's so humid you can hardly stand it" The retired couple had choice seats in the shade on the stoop at 1727 N. Main St. because a friend of one of Earl's aunts owns the house.

"We've been here before," Earl said with a wink. "We knew where to sit." Vendor Dennis Polinske was one of many peddling toys from a cart along the parade route.

"If fighting erupts between the Serbian army and the Albanian people in Kosovo province, that border would be seriously threatened." About 90 percent of Kosovo's estimated 2 million residents are Albanians.

Tensions have been rising since 1990, when Serbia's nationalist leader, Slobodan Milosevic, revoked Kosovo's autonomy. Popovski said in an interview that the arrival "of even a token American contingent" improves the chances for keeping war out of Macedonia. Because of that, the American peacekeepers should be deployed along the "most critical and volatile" border with Kosovo, he said. As the Americans arrived in Skopje, fighting continued in Bosnia. It was concentrated in the north-central area, where outgunned Muslim-led government forces battled with newly allied Serbs and Croats, who want to partition Bosnia into three ethnic zones.

Bosnian Serb and Croat forces reportedly closed in Monday on Maglaj, a key government town, 50 miles northwest of Sarajevo. Bosnian radio reported fierce fighting as government defenders tried to hold off a combined Serb-Croat assault. It reported three people killed and several wounded in that agreement on a package on tariff cuts was vitally needed. "The stakes are extremely high," Peter Sutherland, director-general of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, told reporters In Geneva. If no accord was reached In Tokyo, he said, "the whole multilateral process developed since 1947 is endangered." The administration was also pushing forward on what many view as America's biggest trade problem, Its nearly $50 billion deficit with Japan.

An American negotiating team arrived in Tokyo late Monday night for talks today with the Japanese, aimed at establishing a broad framework agreement with the Japanese. Clinton and Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa had pledged to reach such an agreement in April, but negotiations broke off last week with both sides far apart. The U.S. team was dispatched to Tokyo for a last-minute negotiating effort after Miyazawa wrote Clinton offering changes in A senior administration official, flying aboard Air Force One to Tokyo, said, "It was encouraging that they came back and wanted to resume the talks." On the prospects for a breakthrough in the global trade talks, the official, who insisted on anonymity, said the United States was hoping for "some sort of gen-" eral agreement on market access" to help produce a GATT agreement by year's end. But "if we don't get cals tried to rocket a government with homemade de- guest house it, it is not crippling.

It would not be a disaster," the official said. Acknowledging persistent trade friction with Tokyo, Clinton said the trade deficit with Japan "is real, unacceptable and we're working very hard to take some steps with Japan to deal with that. Traffic was unusually heavy on Monday as people hurried to get their shopping done before the summit's opening. Streets near the Aka-saka Palace, an ornate turn-of-the-century mansion in central Tokyo, and other summit sites were being closed to traffic beginning Tuesday. Authorities have mobilized 36,000 police officers, mindful of Tokyo's previous summit in 1986, when radi- schedules a bypass, graduate student Dustan Barber makes the two-hour drive to Augusta.

He waits in the operating room for the leftover tissue, packs it in a cooler and races back to Athens. Barber and Tackett have only hours before the tissue dies. They cut the veins and arteries into little rings and put each piece into water heated to body temperature and infused with oxygen. Then each ring is injected with a different substance, from the chemicals the body produces under stress to heart drugs. A machine measures whether the smooth muscle of the tissue contracts or dilates, plus any other cell reactions.

Then they match the data with the patient's race, sex, age and medical history. The medical college does about 250 bypasses a year, half on black patients. Tackett expects to compare tissue from about 600 patients, black and white, in the next three years. He's not sure what to expect. Black patients' blood vessels may be more sensitive to stress.

They may need different concentrations of medicines to fend off heart disease. They may lack the chemicals needed to break down free radicals, the destructive molecules that float through people's bodies. "It's amazing how much we don't know," Tackett said. His theory that physical, not cultural or societal; differences make blacks more susceptible to this killer is very plausible, said Dr. Allen Naftilan of Vanderbilt University.

Blacks have different antigens in their blood than whites. And other diseases, from cancers to sickle cell anemia, attack some races and nationalities more than others. But he warned that Tackett's research was just a beginning. "All blacks are not genetically the same. If he finds a difference, people will have to do careful family studies" to determine who's most at risk, Naftilan said.

"But you've got to start someplace." If Tackett's work shows there is a physical cause for the disparity, he wants to examine even smaller blood vessels to see where the- defect starts. "If we know what's occurring in the blood vessels, we may be able to prevent cardiovascular deaths in some people," he said. "It's the one option that's never been vices. Clinton said that for years, allies have been telling American presidents, "Your government deficit is messing up the whole works. Don't tell us to change until you change." "Well, guess what? I'm going to be able to go for the first time in a decade and say, 'We're changing.

Now you must change too. Work with us. Let's put some jobs back in this global he said. Ginton said the industrialized nations must coordinate policies and open new markets to create new jobs. 555555555555 J55555 ip in in versions of Barney, the purple singing dinosaur featured on Public television.

Four-year-old Qulncy Hudson could barely contain himself when Barney waved to the crowd from his perch on the Children's Land of Learning float Quincy's family came down from Milwaukee for the day to sneak a peek at Racine's festivities. Sue James drove down from Ripon with her three boys to visit college friends in Racine and celebrate the Fourth in style. When she arrived, however, she realized her color scheme was all wrong. Not nearly enough red, white and blue. Fortunately, her friends bailed her out by lending her a T-shirt, earrings and even a tiara with an American flag motif.

"I'm used to these 20-minute parades where I live," James said after she took another sip from the red, white and blue plastic cup she was cradling. "But this, this is quite something. It's impressive." Not far around the corner, members of the Lighthouse Brigade Junior Band were marching the last several steps to the parade's end. Some of them looked ready to wilt after the lengthy and.toasty trek down Main Street in black white and blue polyester uniforms. "This is the hottest one we've done so far," said clarinet player Marie Wojcik, 14, who was marching in her third Racine Fourth of July parade.

Adults marching next to the band spritzed the musicians regularly with water to help them cool off a bit. "The water feels pretty good," said Robert Ekstrand, 12, as he hoisted up his snare drum. "At least it keeps you from fainting." 21212121211121212121212121 21 After 21 tears voa tf.3 km 21 r. Cataract Surgery? Maybe.
