International A2-10 KURD FACTION ATTACKS IN IRAQ The Kurdish group supported in an assault last week by the Iraqi Government overran another city that had been controlled by a rival faction, sending thousands of civilians fleeing. A1 IRAQ MILITARY SPRINGING BACK Iraq's attacks in its Kurdish areas showed that five years after the Persian Gulf war, its military forces have been strengthened to the point that Iraq again could invade another country. A1 U.S. WARNING TO IRAQ The United States warned that Iraq risked new attacks if it repaired defenses damaged by American missiles, but said it was unlikely to interfere as Kurdish factions fought in the north. A10 STILL A PRESENCE IN HAITI Haiti's former President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, still has a strong hold on his countrymen, but he has been trying to keep a low profile and build a domestic life. A1 IN BOSNIA VOTE, LOOKING BACK In a Bosnian Croat area, the Croat candidate for the collective presidency is running a nationalistic campaign based on the past. In all three ethnic groups, rallies echo those that preceded the war. A8 PRESSING ISRAEL ON TALKS As Israel's Prime Minister prepares to meet with President Clinton, the United States is pressing for tangible steps to improve relations with the Palestinians. A10 OKINAWANS VOTE NO TO U.S. BASES In a referendum on the Japanese island of Okinawa, which was not legally binding, voters overwhelmingly said they favored a reduction in American military bases. A3 BURUNDI'S DIVIDED MISSIONS Since the coup that put a former ruler in power in Burundi and sent the President to take refuge, the country's diplomatic missions abroad have become focal points for the country's divisions. A5 An arrest in a Belgian killing tied to politics and scandal. A9 Tsavo National Park Journal: Defending a fading antelope. A4 National A12-15, B8-9 SIZZLE BEHIND THE SCENES As substance has leaked out of the process of campaigning for President, both message makers and reporters are paying more attention to the figures behind the scenes. In recent days, headlines have focused more on political consultants than on the candidates. A1 BLURRING PARTY LINES The Race for Congress: In a race to replace Representative Charlie Rose, who is retiring after 24 years in the House, Bill Caster, a North Carolina Republican, finds himself making an extra effort to sound more conservative than his Democratic opponent. A14 LESSON IN GEOGRAPHY Campaign Trail: Among the many hazards of a busy day of campaigning is mix-ups of names and places, but President Clinton showed that he could slip on a town's name and still make it sound right. A14 FIGHTING THE FLOODS Through much of Virginia, floods came from the rains from Hurricane Fran, forcing many to flee to higher ground and destroying much of the work done to repair the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park in Washington. A12 DEBATE OVER FAMILY VALUES Case workers in Orange County, California, dealing with teen-agers who have been made pregnant by adult men, have begun urging some couples to marry. But when a 13-year-old and a 20-year-old were recently married, a debate began about whether the new policy condones what in most states is statutory rape. A12 PEROT TAKES ON I.R.S. In a half-hour commercial broadcast on national television, Ross Perot, the Reform Party candidate, says, ''As your President, we will get rid of the I.R.S. and the tax code, and replace them with a fair, paperless, modern system.'' A15 CONGLOMERATES ON THE SLOPES The Colorado skiing community of Vail is leading the way to consolidation of resorts as one company tries to capture 43 percent of the skiing market in Colorado, the most popular skiing state. B8 RAPPER SHOT IN LAS VEGAS The rap artist and actor Tupac Shakur was in critical condition after being shot four times near the Strip in Las Vegas. B8 TEXAS MEETS TOKYO Dallas Journal: Known for shopping and football, Dallas is going all out to prove that it can serve up Japanese culture in a big way. B9 Metro Report B1-7 EMBRACING MANAGED CARE Westchester County's requirement that families on welfare enter health-maintenance organizations seems to be improving the quality and consistency of health care for the poor, interviews with doctors, health administrators and welfare recipients show.

International 3-19 IRAN PUSHES BIRTH CONTROL The theocratic Government of Iran, faced with the staggering difficulties of managing a population that has vaulted to more than 60 million from 35 million since 1979, is trying to curb population growth. 1 IRAQIS MENACE KURDISH CITY Several hundred Iraqi soldiers with heavy weapons have been seen encamped 15 miles south of Erbil, the most visible Iraqi presence in Kurdish territory since the attack began on the regional capital. 14 AILING RUSSIAN LEADER PLAYS HOST President Boris N. Yeltsin received his first foreign visitor since his re-election, giving Chancellor Helmut Kohl of Germany a chance to size up Mr. Yeltsin's condition. 14 EUROPE'S ENVIRONMENTAL POLICE If nature could be a little more like the new European Environment Agency, Europe would be close to an impeccable place. 3 P.O.W. SIGHTING CLAIMED IN KOREA A North Korean defector claims to have repeatedly visited a top-secret prison camp housing elderly white and black men who, the camp guards told him, were American prisoners of the Korean War. 10 SHARED TRADITIONS IN BOSNIA As elections near, it seems as if the pressures from nationalists will keep Bosnia splintered. But sometimes friendship and shared traditions can overcome ethnic hate. 16 A new book on the Holocaust raises an irate debate in Germany. 4 Belgium faces a sex crimes case with self-doubt, anger and fear. 9 The U.N. is to consider a nuclear test ban treaty on Monday. 16 The health of Pope John Paul II is once again a recurring theme. 18 The abbot of the shrine of Guadalupe steps down in a dispute. 19 National 24-40 CAMPAIGN SPENDING LOOPHOLES Republicans and Democrats strongly argued for campaign finance reform this year, but loopholes are letting both parties get around Federal spending limits. 1 AFTER THE STORM Frustration began to set in for North Carolinians struggling to recover from the destruction caused by Hurricane Fran. 1 LEAVING CUBA, FINDING TROUBLE Teen-age refugees from Cuba have found that their dreams of life in the United States were not realistic. 1 CHEMICAL WEAPONS CALL President Clinton renewed his call for the Senate to ratify the international Chemical Weapons Convention to put pressure on ''rogue states'' like Iraq. 28 STILL SEEKING EVIDENCE As evidence mounts that more Persian Gulf War troops may have been exposed to chemical weapons than earlier believed, scientists say there still is little evidence that such exposure could result in some of the long-term illnesses reported by veterans. 38 ANGER IN PRISON When prison inmates lose telephone or other privileges, the results can be explosive. 24 REQUEST FOR SEPARATE TRIALS The suspects in the Oklahoma City bombing want separate trials. 40 Metropolitan 41-46 UPSTART SHAKING UP CANCER CARE The nation's largest chain of for-profit cancer treatment centers, Salick Health Care, is making a brash assault on New York City's $4 billion cancer-care market. With aggressive deal making and raids on prominent oncology departments, Dr. Bernard Salick, the company's chief executive, is ready to grab a slice of the territory controlled by giants like Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. 1 REPLACING A PROTECTION SYSTEM The head of New York City's child welfare agency wants to replace much of the vast bureaucracy responsible for protecting the city's most vulnerable children with dozens of neighborhood-based networks of churches, medical centers and social service organizations that would handle the care and monitoring of troubled families. 1 THE ROOTS OF SCHOOL CROWDING The overcrowding in New York City's schools seems unlikely to end anytime soon, with 20,000 new students coming in each year. Underlying the problem is a confounding brew of political expediency, financial constraints, the mind-boggling mechanics of the school system and the inherent difficulty of knowing years in advance just where a school should be built. 41 DUTY TO POOR BECAME LAW IN '38 There is no language in the United States Constitution, and in few, if any, other state constitutions, comparable to this passage in New York's: ''The aid, care and support of the needy are public concerns and shall be provided by the state and by such of its subdivisions, and in such manner and by such means, as the Legislature may from time to time determine.'' It was urged in 1938, by a Republican, Fiorello H. La Guardia. 41 Obituaries46-47
