WASHINGTON Striking at night from aircraft carriers and distant bases, the United States and Britain Sunday launched a powerful barrage of cruise missiles and long-range bombers against Afghanistan to try to destroy the terrorist training camps of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida network and the Taliban government that has protected it. “On my orders, the United States military has begun strikes,” President George W. Bush said in a televised statement from the Treaty Room ofthe White House at 1 p.m., just more than half an hour after the first explosions were reported in Kabul, the Afghan capital. “These carefully targeted actions are designed to disrupt the use of Afghanistan as a terrorist base of operations and to attack the military capability ofthe Taliban regime,” Bush said. The Taliban was warned, he said, to meet America’s demands to surrender bin Laden, stop supporting terrorism and release the foreign aid workers they hold. “None of these demands were met,” he said. “And now, the Taliban will pay a price.

An emotional Mike Krzyzewski eagerly accepted his enshrinement into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Friday evening, along with his longtime peer, Temple coach John Chaney, and 19year NBA veteran Moses Malone. Crying tears of joy as he walked onto the stage at the Springfield Civic Center, Krzyzewski thanked the numerous members of what he called his “train,” including former Duke and Army players, University administrators, and of course, his family members for their constant support throughout his 26 years of coaching. But the biggest thanks of all went to Krzyzewski’s mentor, Texas Tech coach Bob Knight, who recruited the Chicago native to play at Army and later gave him his first job in coaching as a graduate assistant for Knight’s Indiana Hoosiers. Knight was also influential in Army’s hiring of Krzyzewski in 1976, and five years later, he recommended Krzyzewski to Duke Athletics Director Tom Butters. “I’ve only called one person ‘Coach’ in my See KRZYZEWSKI in SpOftSWVap page ll®-
