But not this time.On one level, the planned three-day swing through Kentucky, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Wisconsin was a classic Clinton fund-raiser, hopping from grand hotel to private residence where individuals paid thousands of dollars to be there. The result is a political climate described by some as "surreal", where the very height of high politics and the depth of low politics come together in one figure.Mr Clinton's curtailment of his trip at any other time would have been hailed as proof of his unerring instinct for political leadership. The US has offered a $2million (pounds 1.25m) reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the bombings. The aftermath of the blastswill show Mr Clinton at his most sombre and presidential, at a time when his personal difficulties had threatened to swamp the US media in the run-up to his grand jury testimony. Eleven bodies are being repatriated; the 12th victim, Jean Dalizu, was married to a Kenyan and is to be buried in Kenya. The coffins will be accompanied back to Washington by the US Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, who leaves for the US base at Ramstein in Germany today.
He will chair an anti- terrorist summit at the White House and be at Andrews Air Force base near Washington tomorrow for the return of the bodies of those who were killed. PRESIDENT Bill Clinton returns to Washington early this morning after cutting short a three-day cross-country trip planned before the embassy bomb attacks in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. Some farmers played their birds classical music but this was not the soothing balm that might have been expected.. Twenty per cent said they suffered less illness, and 16 per cent said it made them lay more eggs.
Ninety per cent of the music- less farmers said they would consider the idea.Popular radio stations were the usual way of getting the sound to the hen house, especially local radio, and the survey found that the birds have decided preferences: chart music and easy listening are in, while jazz and heavy metal are out. After years of anecdotal evidence, the NFU joined forces this summer with Edinburgh's Roslin Institute, the animal behaviour specialists who cloned Dolly the sheep, to test the theory that chickens thrive in a musical environment. They found that of the 100-plus chicken farmers they surveyed, half played their flocks music, and 96 per cent of those who did said it made the birds calmer. Chickens who listen to pop music are calmer, healthier birds and lay more eggs, the National Farmers' Union has found in a survey. FUNKY CHICKEN seems to be right. The application goes from there to the home affairs ministry and then to the cabinet which will make a recommendation to President Ong Teng Cheong. It is not known how long the process will take.Leeson was jailed for six and a half years, but after remission for good behaviour he should have less than a year to serve..
