Mike Sullivan, saying he is "a builder, not a bombthrower," announced Monday that he is running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Malcolm Wallop. In announcements attended by dozens of supporters in both Casper and Cheyenne Monday, the two-term Democratic chief executive defined his candidacy not with specific positions on issues, but by stressing his "calm and deliberative style of leadership." Sullivan's announcement put an end to months of speculation about his political plans, and sets up a Senate race between the governor and GOP Rep. Craig Thomas, who announced for the Senate in January.

No candidates have emerged to challenge either Sullivan or Thomas for the Democratic or Republican nominations. Monday's announcement also leaves the governor's race -open for a bid from Democratic Secretary of State Kathy Karpan, who is scheduled to formally disclose her political plans next week.

Shelby said he is "excited by the prospect of two strong people at the top of the Democratic ticket." Wallop, meanwhile, said in a prepared statement that "the governor arrives at the gate with a considerable amount of baggage to be weighed by the Wyoming people.

"Gov. Sullivan was the first governor to endorse President Clinton, and it will be difficult for him to distance himself from the man who has waged war on the West since shortly after taking office," Wallop said.

Four new charges were filed against Terry Hughes, 29, as part of a surprise plea agreement that ended the capital punishment case. Hughes was originally charged only with first degree murder in the death of Stella Martin, 36, a convenience store clerk who was abducted from her workplace and found dead in a snowbank alongside a highway south of Rock Springs. Second District Judge Larry Lehman of Rawlins ordered Hughes to the Wyoming State Penitentiary at the end of about three hours of court proceedings that began early Monday morning in Green River.

Flanked by Deputy County Attorney Tony Howard and Stella Martin's husband Dene, plus two county investigators, Kearns was at times tearful during a press conference at the conclusion of the three-hour court proceedings. Kearns said that Hughes the "vile, low-life sub-human" who took the life of a "hard-working, God-fearing, loving wife, mother and friend" did indeed deserve to "die on a gurney with an ultra-short acting barbiturate in combination with a chemical paralytic agent injected into his veins."

Only one F-18 actually dropped bombs on Monday, and the use of military force could hardly have been more restrained.

Radovan Karadzic, the head of the Bosnian Serbs, said on television Monday night, hours after the latest attack, that "this is a critical moment in our relations with the United Nations military force." "I am convinced there will be escalation," Karadzic said.
