Bedford stop
leads to drugs
shaped like candy
BEDFORD, Texas (AP)
Bedford police detained
one man after a traffic stop
led to seizure of ecstasy
and other illegal drugs
shaped like vitamins or
portraying cartoon charac-
ters.
Police on Wednesday
announced about 15
tablets, in various bright
colors, were confiscated
during the traffic stop.
Some tablets were yel-
1 low and shaped like Bart
Simpson’s squarish head.
i Others had logos from
Transformers or Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles.
■ Police detained a 22-
year-old Bedford man on
suspicion of possession of
a controlled substance dur-
ing the March 4 stop.
Lt. Kirk Roberts says a
bag of pills was found
under a seat in the car.
Some pills tested positive
for ecstasy, while others
contained other illegal sub-
stances.
Bedford is between
Dallas and Fort Worth.

Gas leak
postpones
Discovery launch
CAPE CANAVERAL,
Fla. (AP) NASA post-
poned the launch of space
shuttle Discovery just
hours before it was to head
to the international space
station Wednesday because
of a hydrogen gas leak that
could have been cata-
; strophic at liftoff.
The leak was in a differ-
ent part of the system that
already has caused a vex-
ing one-month delay.
Shuttle managers put off
the launch until Monday
but left open the possibili-
ty that the repair work
might allow for an attempt
Sunday.
The latest delay means
Discovery’s two-week
flight must be shortened .
. and some spacewalks cut
out of the mission. That’s
because Discovery needs
' to be gone from the space
station before a Russian
Soyuz rocket blasts off
March 26 with a fresh sta-
tion crew.
If Discovery isn’t flying
by Monday ■— possibly
Tuesday, stretching it —
then it will have to wait
until April.

Army to review
hurt troops’
treatment
FORT BRAGG, N.C.
(AP) —The general in -
charge of the Army’s more .
than 9,000 wounded sol-
diers said Wednesday he is
ordering a review of how :.
the ones at Fort Bragg are
being punished for minor
violations.
Brig. Gen. Gary Cheek
said he is asking the Army
Surgeon General to look at
all discipline that has been
taken against soldiers in
the base’s Warrior
Transition unit to make
sure each case was fair. .
Cheek’s comments come
a day after The Associated
Press reported that soldiers
in the unit are being disci-
plined three times as often
as those assigned to the
base’s main tenant, the
82nd Airborne Division.
The AP also found that
discipline rates vary wide-
ly across the Warrior
Transition system; some
units punish their soldiers
even more frequently than
the one at Fort Bragg,
while others are far more
