Jeanne White, Ryan White's mother, watches as a worker removes the damaged gravestone that marked her son's grave. Last weekend, vandals toppled the six-foot memorial that weighs 4,000 pounds. Ryan yr White was 18 when he died in 1990 from AIDS con- tracted in 1984 from tainted blood products. Vandals tip Ryan's White grave PEOPLE IN THE NEWS From wire sarrve reports saying he posed a risk to other students.

He won that fight, which came the basis of a television about his life. 'Atomic' goat lost in the wilds of New Mexico made by Monday afternoon. "I don't know what their motive was. I don't believe that any other graves were desecrated. I believe it was targeted to the (White) grave," Robison said.

White, a hemophiliac who contracted AIDS from blood transfusions, fought a legal battle for five years against school officials who barred him from attending classes, boring." The magazine, by the way, encourages readers to feel free to hate model Naomi Campbell not because she's beautiful, but because of her metabolism. "I eat what I love to eat most of the time," says the 21-year-old model. "I don't diet My favorite foods are Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald's, Raisinets, Mars bars, Snickers and deep chocolate fudge Haagen-Dazs." There oughta be a law. White died April 8, 1990. i Among those who attended his funeral were'': first lady Barbara Bush, entertaifl ers Elton John and Michael Jackson and talk show host Phil Donahue.

Associated Press CICERO, Ind. Vandals again desecrated the grave of Ryan White, the young AIDS victim who gained worldwide recognition by fighting discrimination against those with the disease, police said Monday. White's 6-foot 8-inch gravestone at Cicero Cemetery was toppled sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning, the fourth time White's grave had been vandalized. In previous instances, vandals had used paint or uprooted flowers, police said. Ryan's mother, Jeanne White, offered a $500 reward for information leading to the vandals' arrests.

"It's a quiet cemetery and I don't know why they can't leave him to rest," Jeanne White said.

To dial direct, 926-0130 extension number, M'1 By Martin Merzer Knlght-Ridder Newspapers Posses using helicopters and airplanes are searching vast stretches of New Mexico for a most unusual fugitive a radioactive goat on the lam for two months.

Dubbed "The Atomic Goat," the animal escaped during one of those federal experiments that seemed like a good idea at the time. Luckily for it, but unhappily for the searchers, it does not glow in the dark. "We haven't seen it or heard from it in a long time," said Mike Fall, a researcher at the Denver Wildlife Research Center, which was conducting the experiment The animal is one of 62 Angora goats fitted with collars holding radioactive isotopes and radio transmitters. The transmitters were supposed to track the goats' movements on the Jornado Experimental Range in New Mexico and determine the hunting patterns of coyotes. The isotopes would identify any coyotes that killed the goats, ingested the radiation and later were captured.

But 10 of the goats escaped to the wild, where they could mingle with bighorn sheep, now on New Mexico's endangered species list Experts worried that the goats could infect the sheep with a sexually transmitted disease and that predators would ingest the radiation, polluting the food chain. Nine of the fugitives soon were recaptured and killed. The 52 goats that didn't escape were killed, too, possibly as co-conspirators. Now, the last Atomic Goat remains free after two months. Researchers believe its radio transmitter is out of juice and the animal has found a home on the range.

So airborne officers equipped with tracking devices are on the prowl. The orders: Get their goat Boy drowns in family's 2nd tragedy Associated Press EWING TOWNSHIP, N.J. A 6-year-old boy drowned in a relative's swimming pool, just 13 days after his 3-year-old sister was killed by a van when she ran into a street The body of Kevin Shawn Mack, of Trenton, was found Sunday in the deep end of his aunt's pool, police said. The boy had been playing by the pool earlier and did not know how to swim, an uncld, Walter Lackey, told police. Kevin's sister, Vanessa, was crushed by a van after she broke free of her mother's grasp and dashed into the street in front of their home, authorities said.

Barbara Lackey, Kevin's mother, also has another son and a daughter.

Over the long holiday weekend, "Terminator 2" brought in an estimated $52.3 million for first place at the box office. It was one of the best movie debuts ever and proof once again that sequels, even expensive ones, are safe Hollywood bets.
