Couple found slain in their home
OAKMAN (AP) — An investigation continues in the deaths of a Pon-
totoc County man and his wife, police say
“We can confirm that it was a double homicide. But wc cannot, at this
time, confirm the cause of death." Pontotoc County Sheriff Jeff Glase said
Monday.
_ The bodies of Kicky Lynn Gatewood, 39, an auto-glass
CT1VI repairman, and Debra Kay Ciatewood, 42, a convenience
3 I Ml E store clerk, were found in their blood-soaked bedroom
_ Sunday. I'heir missing pickup truck was found aban-
doned in Seminole f'ounty early Monday.
The pickup was turned over to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investiga-
tion to process for possible evidence, Glase said.
Family members had last seen the couple alive Saturday evening. Gate-
wood’s teen-age son, who had spent the night at his sister's home about I
1/2 miles away, found their bodies Sunday afternoon.
Glase said nothing appeared to have been taken from the home, mean-
ing robbery was not likely the motive. Glase said investigators had not
found any witnesses to the killings.
District attorney officials said the deaths were the first double murder in
the county in l(> years
Children’s insurance expanding
WASHING TON (AP) In states coast to coast, bringing health insur-
ance to more children isn’t just an idea. It’s already a reality.
__ . a»■ Thirty-nine states have gone beyond federal require-
M aTInHI maus *n offering insurance to low-income children,
lylJ expanding Medicaid and creating programs of their own.
__Now Congress plans to help, with at least $16 billion
set aside for state grants to reach half of the 10 million
children who remain without insurance.
But it's unclear how much flexibility states will have in spending the
money. Until now, most stales have opted for the most restrictive option
available — Medicaid, which requires a generous benefit package —
because that was the only way to get the federal government to pay part of
the tab.
Bottled water lacks flourine
WASHINGTON (AP) Tastes great. More fillings?
Bottled water, missing the aftertaste that can bedevil water from the tap,
also tends to be missing fluoride, the public health system's main weapon
against tooth decay
Americans drink almost 3 billion gallons of bottled water a year, a gush
from a trickle a dozen years ago. Some home filters also remove fluoride.
Is that bad for dental health? Scientists are not sure. People get fluoride
in other ways.
But they do say people relying on bottled water should look at their
other defenses against cavities and consider fluoride supplements or per-
haps a return to the faucet if safeguards are lacking.
Bank buys Simpson’s estate
NORWALK, Calif. (AP) — How much will someone pay for the most
notorious mansion in Brentwood? The bank that bought O.J. Simpson’s
estate at auction for $2.63 million will find out if fame makes property
more precious.
“The macabre is very popular and the bizarre is popular," said Elaine
Young, who sold the home to Simpson 20 years ago for $650,000. “Noth-
ing could be more bizarre than this."
Three years after his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend
Ronald Goldman were slashed to death and five months after he was
found liable for the deaths in a $33.5 million verdict, Simpson lost the
biggest symbol of his rise and fall on Monday.
Simpson's dream home was auctioned oft in only a few minutes to
Hawthorne Savings, the bank that foreclosed on the mansion in affluent
Brentwood after he fell behind on the mortgage.
Huang’s role as advisor probed
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic fund-raiser John Huang may have
had a formal relationship with his cx-cmploycr during his tenure at the
Commerce Department and the Democratic National Committee, Republi-
can investigators say.
Setting the stage for today’s resumption of Senate hearings on cam-
paign finance abuse, the investigators said the former employer — the
Indonesia-based l.ippo Group —considered Huang an adviser two years
after he left there.
The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee sources, speaking only if
not quoted by name, said they had obtained a registration form for a
March 1996 World Bank conference on which Huang was listed as a
Lippo "adviser.”
A key question before the committee is whether Huang, a key tigure in
the Senate's fund-raising investigation, used his international trade posi-
tion at Commerce to provide sensitive information on China to Lippo. The
conglomerate has major Chinese investments and has a partnership w ith a
company owned by the Chinese government, the investigators said
United Nations weighs reforms
UNITED NATIONS (AP) With revised flow charts and promises to
slim down, the United Nations hopes to convince a
_ skeptical Congress and public that it is taking seriously
yyflDI II Washington’s demands to reform.
nVItUf Secretary-General Kofi Annan plans to announce his
- reform program Wednesday. It is expected to focus on
administrative changes aimed at cutting staff, better
coordinating U N. operations worldwide and allowing the organization to
function with a negative growth budget.
Annan hopes to reverse the perception, widespread in the United States,
that the United Nations is a bloated, ineffectual organization that wastes
American taxpayers’ money.
Fans wrestle with Hemingway image
SANIBEL ISLAND, Fla. (AP) — Ernest Hemingway spent many a day
roaming Key West in tattered shorts and a rope belt, fishing, drinking and
writing some of his most famous novels.
And for years the Gulf Stream island honored the author with a beer-
soaked bash featuring arm wrestling, souvenir mugs and a look-alike con-
test But that isn’t the way “Papa” should he remembered, say his descen-
dants, so this year they decided to make the celebration more of a literary
affair.
Medals presented
U.S. Rep. Tom Coburn presents the Army Com-
mendation Medal and Bronze Star to Kiefer resi-
dent Clarence Richards. Richards earned the
medals 28 years ago during service in Vietnam, but
never received them and asked for Coburns assis-
tance. Richards also received the National
Photo submitted to Herald
Defense Service medal, a Vietnam Sen/ice medal
with four bronze service stars, his combat infantry-
man badge, a Republic of Vietnam Campaign rib-
bon with device (1960) and his expert badge with
rifle bar. Coburn presented the medals during a
small ceremony at his Muskogee office.

Internet
taxes won’t
discriminate
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — U.S.
Rep. Christopher Cox says a proposed
moratorium on new state and local
taxes on the Internet only prevents
taxes that discriminate against the
Internet.
State and local governments could
impose on businesses online any
taxes that they also impose on mail-
order, catalog or phone sales, Cox’s
office said Monday.
Oklahoma City Councilman Mark
Schwartz, president of the National
League of Cities, used the example of
a florist over the weekend to explain
his opposition to the legislation pro-
posed by Cox and Sen. Ron Wyden,
D-Ore., in March.
Schwartz said Oklahoma City resi-
dents can choose a local florist or an
Internet site to buy flowers and send
them to someone in another state. He
said the florist doing business online
Would be exempted from paying local
laxes to city and state government
