(AP) Conway Twitty, who started as a teen rock idol in the 1950s and crossed over to country to become a star, died Saturday at age 59. His wife, Dee Henry, other relatives and some of his band members were with him at Cox Medical Center-South when he died of complications from surgery after a blood vessel ruptured in his stomach. Twitty collapsed on his tour bus during a rest stop in southwest Missouri. He was on the way home to Hendersonville, from a performance Friday night in Branson. "I've just been sitting here crying," said Sandy Brokaw, Twitty's press representative.

Israelis jail 120 Palestinians JERUSALEM (AP) Israel has arrested more than 1 20 Palestinian activists suspected of carrying out attacks on Israelis in one of the largest such crackdowns ever, the military announced Saturday. The arrests were made in the Israeli-occupied territories, and more arrests were expected, the military said in a statement.

The arrests of members of the outlawed Muslim fundamentalist group Hamas included a four-member cell suspected of abducting and killing border policeman Nissim Toledano last December, the army said. That killing prompted Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to deport more than 400 Hamas and Islamic Jihad activists to Lebanon last year, an action condemned by the United Nations Security Council. Iraqi plotters go on trial KUWAIT (AP) An Iraqi nurse testified Saturday that Saddam Hussein's agents ordered him to bring a jeep packed with explosives into Kuwait on a mission to assassinate former President Bush. And if the car bombing failed, he was told to strap himself with explosives for a suicide bombing. His payment: about $1 ,300 at the black market rate.

"They told me to kill Bush," Wali al-Ghazali, 36, told the three-judge court overseeing the no-jury trial. Al-Ghazali and another Iraqi, Raad al-Assadi, pleaded guilty Saturday to charges that carry the death penalty. Twelve other Iraqi and Kuwaiti defendants pleaded innocent in the plot to kill Bush during his visit. Bush visited the emirate April 14-16, receiving a hero's welcome. Kuwaitis revere the former president for leading the coalition that expelled the Iraqis from Kuwait in February 1 991 after seven months of occupation.

"It was something I always wanted to do cut an album for children, not talk down to them, and tell them it's all right to be little," Jennings said in Saturday's Los Angeles Times. Lauren Bacall criticized the Hollywood film industry Saturday for loving "money more than cinema." "They work without creativity and fill the screen with simple scenes of sex and violence," Bacall told reporters at the 9th Annual Troia Film Festival in Portugal.

Bacall was the recipient of the Golden Dolphin, the festival's highest individual award, for lifetime accomplishment in film. The actress starred in a number of films with her husband, the late Humphrey Bogart, including "The Big Sleep, "Key Largo" and "To Have and Have Not." She won two Tony awards for her stage performances in "Applause" and "Woman of the Year." She has never won an Oscar, Marian Carey married the boss Saturday night. An army of celebrities turned out to watch the merger of the pop diva and Thomas Mottola, president of Sony Music, at a landmark Manhattan church. The bride wore a traditional white wedding dress with a 27-foot-long train. Those attending included Robert DeNiro, Barbra Streisand, Tony Danza, Billy Baldwin, Bruce Sprinsteen, Ozzie Osborne, Christie Brinkley and her husband, Billy Joel.

Country singer Waylon Jennings sticks to his bad-boy image in a new album for children called "Cowboys, Sisters, Rascals Dirt." The album, due out Tuesday on the Ode 2 Kids label, is about rascally little boys, and the 55-year-old Jennings said it takes one to know one. Jennings, the father of seven children, took inspiration for the album from his nephews, friends' children, his own childhood and his youngest son, Shooter, YESTERDAY IN MONTANA HIGH 80 at Thompson Falls LOW 37 at Havre YESTERDAY IN THE NATION HIGH 107 at Presidio, Texas LOW 29 at Truckee, Calif.

June Thunder A swarm of moderate tremors rocked Japan's Izu Peninsula south of Tokyo, Arctic Healing A layer of haze which J3 appeared and thickened j7 over the Arctic during the late 1 970s and early 1 980s appears to be thinning due to decreased industrial pollution. According to a report published in Geophysical Research Letters, scientists earlier had feared that the deepening layer of haze would store solar heat and lead to a rise in Arctic temperatures, worsening global warming. Virtually all the haze came from industrial smokestacks in Europe and the former Soviet Union. The problem appears to have improved both because the former Soviet Union switched from coal and oil to cleaner-burning natural gas during the 1980s, and because western European nations clamped down on sulfur dioxide emissions to reduce acid rain.
