IN THE NATION

WASHINGTON - Myrlie Evers-Williams, 61, was sworn in Sunday to head the NAACP, pledging to lead the nation's oldest civil rights group away from its recent troubles and restore it as a political and social force.

``I will give my all to the NAACP to see that it becomes stronger, to see that we regain our rightful place as the premier civil rights organization in this country,'' she said.

GM recalling 1995 Blazers and Jimmys

DETROIT - General Motors Corp. said Sunday it is voluntarily recalling 111,000 1995-model Chevrolet Blazers and GMC Jimmys to modify a fuel tank cover that leaked in one crash test.

The November test by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the tank could leak after a 35-mph crash into a barrier. That speed exceeds federal crash standards.
