Dianne Feinstein on Wednesday picked up some key allies in her war against the spreading use of methamphetamine. The California Democrat joined other senators to announce bipartisan legislation aimed at fighting the trafficking of methamphetamine and stemming the supply of chemicals used in manufacturing the illicit drug. "This is a major breakthrough in our efforts to curb the spread of this deadly drug," Feinstein said. Sen.

Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a key sponsor of the measure, agreed, saying the drug is "wrecking havoc across America." "Federal officials have told us they simply do not have the tools they need to stop this vicious epidemic. Now they will" The bill would bolster penalties for illegal import of the chemicals used to make the drug, tightly reg er security guard. When police arrived, Wade was covered in the victim's blood but not injured. He led them to the victim, who was wounded and handcuffed to one of the actor's boats.

Stallone, best known for the "Rambo" and "Rocky" movie characters, was not at home when the incident took place. Police said they were called to the scene at 5:18 a.m. EDT.

It also calls for criminal sentences comparable to those for crack cocaine with 5- to 10-year mandatory sentences for methamphetamine trafficking and manufacturing.

Because legal, over-the-counter antihistamines contain chemicals used in making meth pseudoe-phedrine and phenylpropanolamine the legislation would allow the attorney general the option to limit the retail sale of those drugs after studying the matter. That could mean limiting purchases to 450 pills a customer, Feinstein said. "It's enough for anyone," she said, adding that drug stores have become a primary source for those chemicals. Feinstein cited numerous examples of California pharmacies selling pseudoephedrine tablets by the hundreds of thousands to individual customers. "Manufacturers are buying blis-.

"It's time the federal government started standing up for parents and taxpayers," Dole, the likely Republican presidential nomi nee, said an afternoon speech that was as much an indictment of President Clinton as of the national teachers' unions. Dole scored Clinton as "the pliant pet of Bob Dole militant teachers unions" that contribute to Democratic campaigns. He laid blame on the president for stagnant college aptitude test scores, and rising illiteracy and school dropout rates. "Over our public schools hangs an air of failure, frustration and futility," Dole said. "Our public schools today are suffering from a generation's worth of bad ideas that have little or nothing to do with giving our kids a good education." School-choice initiatives, such as vouchers, could reverse those trends, Dole maintained, but the Clinton administration "has done everything in its power to kill the school-choice movement." Clinton, who has peppered his own campaign with education talk, favors public-school choice, but opposes giving parents vouchers of tax money to send their children to private or religious schools.

Outlining his warranty to an assembly of school-choice advocates in a Catholic school auditorium, Dole stopped just short of calling for a federal voucher system that would subsidize private school tuition for low- and middle-income families. "There is no right more basic than the right of every parent in this country to choose which school their own child will attend," said Dole, who proposed federal vouchers during the GOP primary campaign but has yet to reprise the issue in any detail. Aides said Dole would unveil a school-choice proposal likely to include vouchers in a speech Thursday in Milwaukee, where a state pilot program is already in place. Striking decidedly conservative themes, Dole also derided "global awareness" and "diversity" curricula that have supplanted reading, writing and arithmetic. "While students in Europe and Japan are learning math, science and language, our kids are learning to get in touch with their feelings," said Dole.

His consumers' warranty, described as a set of guiding principles for a Dole administration, called vaguely for safe schools that would teach the' basics through "proven methods" such as phonics and spelling bees. It would attempt to ensure that each high school graduate is competent to enter college or the work force. "Phonics isn't fancy or intricate, but it works and has for hundreds of years," he said. Dole also said that in his administration, the Justice Department would compile data on effective disciplinary codes and assist school districts in legal challenges to their disciplinary actions. By holding over the voucher plan's unveiling until Thursday, the Dole campaign hoped to regain control over the candidate's message and media coverage after several weeks of sticky distractions.
