Bush concerned about president's lack of respect' RENO, Nev. (AP) Former President George Bush worries about Bill Clinton's apparent of respect" for the presidency, but is optimistic any embarrassment to the country will be short-lived. "I have tried to stay out of all the Washington mess," Bush said at the end of a keynote address to the Safari Club International's 27th annual hunters' convention. I must confess I have been deeply concerned by what appears to be a lack of respect for the office I was so very proud to hold," he said Saturday. "The presidency just let me tell you this, because you probably worry about all this just as I do.

Just as my sons and my daughter do. And as Barbara Bush told the crowd of big-game hunters and conservationists at the Reno Hilton Hotel-Casino. country is strong and it is resilient. And the presidency, the office of the presidency, is strong and it is resilient," he said. "'The trials of the present will soon pass away and once again our country will be respected and strong around the world." Bush made no direct reference to impeachment.

But retired Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf, a lifetime member of the club, drew a raucous standing ovation by introducing Bush as man of unimpeachable integrity. "And a man of great moral courage, my commander in chief, George Bush," he said. The two worked the crowd earlier in the day at one of the largest trophy hunting conventions in the world. Criticism of President Clinton flowed just as freely as the praise and admiration for Bush and his sons.

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and George W. Bush, the Republican governor of Texas. Schwartzkopf and the elder Bush were met by strong support for a presidential bid in 2000 by the newly re-elected Texas governor. "He comes.

Bellows' Journey" ST. LOUIS (AP) A tide of history has passed under the Eads Bridge since Karol Wojtyla dropped by St. Louis 30 years ago, a vigorous Polish cardinal bent on improving his English on his first visit to North America. No one, including himself, even dreamed he would be returning as Pope John Paul II, the 263rd successor of Peter and among the dozen longest reigning pontiffs in the 2,000 years of Christianity. Back then a Polish priest friend had suggested he might find his warmest welcome in any U.S.

diocese that had a fellow cardinal. So the tourist from Krakow ascended the Sears Tower in Chicago, witnessed the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, went canoeing on a seminary lake near Detroit and took his first helicopter ride to a shrine outside Philadelphia. Parishioners at St. Stanislaus Kostka church here fed him spicy Polish sausages and took him down to the banks of the Mississippi where he saw Ecro Saarinen's soaring 630-foot steel arch and his music-loving cars heard a riverboat calliope pump out "'St. Louie The three decades since have witnessed dramatic changes in his life and the world that he came to regard' as his home parish.

He has visited more than 100 countries in a half- million miles of relentless travel to every corner of the globe. BROOKFIELD, Mass. (AP) The Rev. Donald Kring, a clergyman who became an auon Herman Melville, died of cardiac arrest Jan. was 8 82.

Warning he intended to be blunt.

Mayor Yuri Luzhkov challenged Albright on U.S. policy on Iraq. Kosovo. missile defenses and technology sales by Russian firms. to Iran.

Luzkhov's main complaint was that "the United States had moved forward without taking Russia's concerns completely into account. a senior U.S. official told reporters after the meeting in Moscow's municipal offices. Albright stood her ground. telling the mayor U.S.

bombing of Iraq and pressuring Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevie over Kosovo were correct. She also assured Luzhkov that while the Clinton administration was embarked on a search for a missile defense it considers the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the former Soviet Union important to U.S. security. Court: No adjustments for 2000 census data census data WASHINGTON (AP) The 2000 census cannot be adjusted to make up for an expected undercount of minorities, the Supreme Court said today, ruling for taxpayers who challenged the Clinton administration's plan. The federal census law bars use of statistical methods intended to make the national population count more nearly accurate.

the justices said in a divided ruling that could have a major effect on money and votes nationwide. When the census law was amended in 1976, "At no point did a single member of Congress suggest that the amendments would so fundamentally change the manner in which the (Census) Bureau could calculate the population for purposes of apportionment," Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote for the court. O'Connor said tests the limits of reason" to suggest that Congress would have been silent in enacting would arguably be the single most significant change in the method of conducting the decennial census since its inception." Adjusting the census likely would have helped Democrats hecause minorities and inner-city residents. who tend to vote Democratic: made up il large share of the estimated 4 million people missed by the 1990 count. Decision lets FCC set price rules for local phone service WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court today reinstated fedcral rules aimed at quickly opening the $110 billion local telephone market to competition.

The court, in splintered voting, said a 1996 law lets the Federal Communications Commission set pricing rules for long-distance companics and others that want to start offering local phone service. The ruling is a big. although not complete. victory for the government's goal of speedily letting customers nationwide choose their local phone company much as they now can choose al -distance company. The Clinton administration had argued that such competition will happen sooner if price rules are set by the federal government rather than by cach of the 50 states.

State regulators and companies that now monopolize local phone service had said the pricing rules must be set by the states. Writing for the court, Justice Antonin Scalia said the Federal Communications Commission has general jurisdiction to implement the local-competition provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996..
