Tim Jennings, D-Roswell, as majority floor leader, will further divide an already contentious Senate Democratic caucus. Democrats have a narrow, 24-18 majority over Republicans in the Senate.

Jennings had served as majority leader since 1997.. "It's extremely divisive," said Bv David Jackson The Dallas Morning News WASHINGTON For the second time this month, the government warned Americans on Monday that a new wave of terrorist attacks could come any day, citing "a credible threat" "It is not specific, but it is information that we think the American people have a good, mature judgment and capacity to accommodate and to understand," Attorney General John Ashcroft said. "We believe this threat to be credible, and for that reason it should be taken seriously," Ashcroft said. Authorities issued a similar terrorist warning Oct Hi and FBI Director Robert Mueller said, "It may well have helped to avert such an attack." The Washington Post reported that the warning was prompted in part by "big and very credible" intelligence reports from abroad in recent days that seem to forecast new attacks, a senior U.S. official said.

Other intelligence has been gathered indicating Osama bin Laden, suspected mastermind of the Sept 11 attacks, and some of his fop lieutenants have essentially delegated authority to Order and conduct new attacks down the, chain of command, perhaps even to individual cells of bin Laden's alQaida terrorist network.

The high-school dropout, military veteran, apprentice carpenter, drug-dabbler and father of two toddlers stayed home from work on an autumn day in Rosweli He watched a TV movie about a pedophile and went out and raped a 6-year-old girL From there, his life slipped further into darkness. Less than two years later, Clark was in handcuff again. -This time he had raped a 9-year-old Artesia girl, Dena Lynn Gore, and killed her.

Clark's descent has led, IS years later, to a date with an executioner one week from today the New Mexico Penitentiary south of Santa Fe. Friends, relatives and co-workers who spoke on Clark's behalf as he tried to avoid the death penalty over the years described a pleasant man with an unexciting life: Navy veteran; hard -worker; nice sense of humor, good with his kids. 1 have not been many mysteries in Clark's legal case. It was a who-done-it for only five days in the summer of 1985 after Dena Lynn Gore disappeared on a short bicycle trip from home to the corner store. Once Clark was arrested, he described the crime in detail and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and kidnapping; Jur6rs took only hours to decide he would die.

After a higher court threw that sentence out because the jury had not been told how many years Clark would spend in prison if he were sentenced to life, a second jury was convened and quickly returned a death sentence.
