WORLD NEWS BRIEFS Yemeni justice system questioned: Suspects in the bombing of the USS Cole likely will not go on trial for four weeks, and when they do, attention will focus on Yemen's justice system - a system branded anything but just.

Japan firm to pay for war brutality: For decades. a northern Japanese mining town where hundreds of Chinese died from beatings and torture has served as a potent symbol of Japan's brutality during its imperialist push through Asia. On Wednesday, a major con­ struction company agreed to pay $4.6 million to settle a lawsuit over wartime beatings at the llanaoka labor camp - a step toward healing and a precedent that will be hard to ignore.

Dan Rather, as we all know, went com­ pletely insane. When all the pundits had exhausted the electoral col­ lege debate, Larry King had married and divorced six times and the malt liquor had run out, the networks thought, "Hey, let's give the election to Bush and see what happens!" We all had to watch Republicans mash. that's what happened. After witnessing a few minutes of the mashing and the ensuing GOP rave, complete with glow sticks and education vouchers, I went to bed, like many of us, thinking Bush had won. When I woke up, I discovered that in the course of the night, the networks had given the election to Gore. Bush again, Gore again and finally, to Carson Daly, after which declaring the race too close to call and the #1 video of the week "Country Grammar" by Nelly. In a sad develop­ ment, Dan Bather announced that the next president of the United States was a tamale. So here we are, three weeks later. After all the recounts, hand recounts and three games of rock, paper, scissors (paper covers rock, AI), it appears that Bush has won, but with all these court bat­ tles. no one really seems satisfied with Decision 2000. In the midst of all of this, Cheney leads Lieberman in heart attacks by a margin of 16 to 0. (I'm sorry, after several hand recounts, Cheney's lead is down to 1). The longer this process has gone on, the messier it has become, causing the true results to be, probably forever, a mystery. Ballots were thrown out, Floridian retirees are running loose in the streets, someone named Chad caused a load of trouble and in an ironic twist of fate.

Meanwhile, you just know that Bob Dole is planning some sort of military coup to take over the White House on pnests and rename our nation, "Dole Land." If I've learned anything from this election (besides the chad thing), I am writing in response to Maureen Smithe's article on the ordination of women in order to give I've learned that in an election this close, no matter who ends up a more clear account of the Church's teaching on this subject. president half the country is going to be upset and not too convinced In John Paul Il's encyclical "Ordinatio Sacerdotalis" (On reserving priestly ordination to men of the results.

As a decide the election and to make a whole lot of money, is to have result, we can and should follow this teaching with confidence. Bush and Gore go at it on a three-hour live television special called Why does the Church teach this? First of all, Jesus chose only men as apostles and "Christ, in Survivor II: Palm Beach County. We would strand the candidates in instituting the Eucharist, linked it in an explicit way to the priestly service of the Apostles." a deserted retirement community, with only a few cans of food, (Mulieris Dignitatem, No. 26) Also, "Christ's way of acting did not proceed from sociological or cul­ some water and a shuttlecock.
