The barrage came after thousands more
Israeli troops flooded over the

Lebanese border and launched its

Israel says it snatched five Hezbollah

Cuba's state-run television read
another statement from the dictator

Tuesday night...with the 79 year old
Castro reassuring citizens his

spirits are good. But acknowledging the
seriousness of his

condition.Castro also apologized for
not giving more details but said

the threat posed to his government by
the U-S means his health must be

treated as a state secret.

Fidel's brother Raul is temporarily in
power...although the long-time

defense minister and constitutional

successor... has remained out of

sight and has not made any public
comments

(Sirgany Bridge/MIAMI)

For Cuban exiles here in Miami...Raul
Castro's position whether

temporary or permanent...is not

"People are scared for their lives,

In Cuba...a rally was held in support
of both Fidel and Raul Castro

Tuesday night, although for the most

(Track One / :10) Stephen King and John

Harry Potter fans worldwide as they sat
beside the series creator at a press
conference in New York.

(SOT: Irving 043507) "My fingers are

is here to headline a two-day charity
benefit, reading alongside the popular
american authors at Radio City Music
Hall.

(SOT: Irving 043926) "We see ourselves

a literary rock star, since creating
one of the world's most popular
characters - selling over 300 million
books, while taking in billions at the
box office.

Nats: (film)

(Track Four / :05) Now the story of a

(SOT: Rowling 042731) "I will miss it

books and I planned this particular
ending."

(Track Five / :05) The ending - Rowling
has said - will include the death of
two popular characters.

(Nats Movie/ Graphics)

(Track Six / :06) And the author hasn't
dismissed scenarios played out in
headlines suggesting the death of her
lead character.

(SOT: Rowling 043109) "I understand why

an author would kill a character from
the point of view of not allowing other
writers to continue writing when the
original is dead."

(Track Seven / :06) But after living
with Harry for so long - perhaps
Rowling will say goodbye to a few of
his friends instead.

(SOT: Rowling 043725) "In the genre in

which I'm writing, you usually find
that the hero goes on alone // Harry is

not completely alone he still has his
two faithful sidekicks."

(Nats: Movie) "...the three of us can

November 5 Miami Head Coach Larry Coker has
suspended 4 players for the game for
undisclosed violations of team policy.

The suspensions include the
team's leading Rusher from last season,
Running Back Tyrone Moss.

He still led the team after
his season was cut short by a knee
injury suffered against Virginia Tech.

Moss said he would be ready
health- wise for the season opener, but
it doesn't matter now.

Joining Moss on the sidelines
will be receivers Ryan Moore and
Rashaun Jones, along with linebacker
James Bryant.

One thing that hasn't changed is
the dedication by the Vikings in the

To go along with the lifting,
running hills has become a team bonding
activity.

The first chance to check out how
the weights, running and new look will
do is September 1st against Liberty on

Corporate parent Time Warner has
decided in order to

attract users and advertising dollars
to the A-O-L Internet site,

it has to give away E- mail and other
services.

A-O-L will still offer its dial- up

accounts at 26 dollars a

month for unlimited access, but the
company will no longer

aggressively market it.

The changes are expected to fully
take effect early next month.

Subscribers who dropped A- O- L
within the past two years will be

able to reclaim their old E- mail
addresses.
