FINAL-STATUS TALKS

Yasser Arafat continues to object to the withdrawal map, as
presented by Israel for implementation tomorrow. He demands that
the area in the Judean Desert be replaced by land in the Shomron,
so as to grant the Palestinian Authority territorial contiguity there.
Barak's chief security advisor, Danny Yatom, said that Israel will
not carry out the withdrawal without Arafat's consent. Under the
Oslo agreements, Israel is authorized to solely decide on the
extent and locations of its withdrawals from Judea and Samaria.

Meeting this afternoon in N'vei Ilan, in the hills leading to
Jerusalem, the final-status negotiating teams agreed on the agenda
of their talks. According to today's agreement, the talks will deal
with the following issues: Jerusalem; the settlements; the Arab
refugees of 1948; and the final borders. The two sides will next
meet this coming Thursday.

We talk quite a bit about looking at the stars but if you're like me
you go outside and can't figure where anything is. I came across
the following item and thought I'd pass it along as a gift suggestion.
With this gadget and a copy of "The Witness of the Stars" in tow, it
seems like a great way to take back the night. (Also, it might just
come in handy if the lights go out and you're looking for ways to
keep the little ones--and not so little ones--occupied.)--Moza

not included. Measures 11=94 long when open.

NBC'S Y2K SCARE MOVIE SET FOR AIR; NETWORK PRESS
RELEASES BLUR NEWS AND
ENTERTAINMENT

http://www.drudgereport.com/matt.htm

Anticipation is building for NBC's upcoming Y2K scare movie, now
set to run during a sweet November Sweeps spot.

The fuss film, set to air on November 21, has been criticized for
exploiting and cashing in on the nation's Y2K fears.

Last month a lawmaker on the Senate Special Committee on the
Year 2000 Technology Problem blasted the project: "This is one of
the most irresponsible things to ever come out of Hollywood! Why
is NBC doing this? There are going to end up scaring people into a
complete panic. Shame, shame, shame on them!"

Even though NBC is planning to run a disclaimer at the beginning
of the movie -- "This program does not suggest or imply that any of
these events could actually occur" -- producers of Y2K now admit
that they set out to exploit the situation.

"My slogan while making the movie was, 'Paranoia is our most
important product,'" said Y2K executive producer David Israel.

Plot line of NBC's Y2K:

It starts with a news flash: An F-18 falls out of the sky at 12:01:40
somewhere in the South Seas. Soon ATM glitches show up
everywhere. Machines limit angry customers to $20 a pop. The
lights go out in Paris. The Times Square blacks out; so do
Philadelphia and Scranton. 911 is cut. A 72-year-old woman dies
on the operating table, becoming the first Y2K death. A nuclear
meltdown in Sweden kills all plant workers. Soon, a nuke plant in
Seattle teeters.

"As the millenium dawns in North America, most of the Eastern
Seaboard suffers a major power outage," NBC said in a press
release. "But the worst is yet to come. Nick [a complex systems
failure expert consulting the government played by actor Ken Olin]
must stay ahead of the unpredictable Y2K bug as it spreads
across the United States threatening everyone, including his own
family on the West Coast."

"Drudge, this is a movie, this is entertainment," an NBC executive
said over lunch in Burbank on Friday.

"No one is going to run to the banks on Monday morning after
watching this film."

The executive conceded that the network may have gone too far
this week when it issued a press release suggesting that Y2K was
a game.

"PLAY THE 'Y2K' DOOMSDAY MOVIE QUIZ" blasted NBC in a
flash on the ASSOCIATED PRESS EXPRESS wires.

A press pusher named Cathryn Boxberger in NBC's "Entertainment
Publicity Department" also issued a press release on Wednesday
titled "Y2K' BITES AND BYTES" to hype the film.

Boxberger reported: "The State Department is advising against
travelling abroad during the days following December 31st. Sources
quoted in Washington expect telephone and power failures as well
as water shortages in many foreign travel destinations."

Boxberger continued: "Citizens who fear that their savings are in
jeopardy due to the bug are expected to withdraw heavily from their
accounts in the days leading up to the new year. However, the
government warns, the greater millennium risk is of being robbed of
all that cash."

Boxberger appeared to be using recent NBC NEWS Y2K items --
twisting them into scare flashes to hype the film.

"Report after report has come out telling us that the biggest Y2K
fear is fear itself, and GE, of all companies, pulls this stunt!" said a
news executive from a rival network.
