Clinton to form religious advisory committee

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Clinton will form a 20-member committee to advise the secretary of state of matters of religious oppression and intolerance, the Washington Post reported Sunday.

The panel, to be made up of prominent religious leaders and scholars, is being formed to counter complaints from evangelical Christians that insufficient attention is placed on the persecution of Christians abroad.

The changing of the seasons

(CNN) -- The day and night were equal Sunday, the hallmark of the change from summer into fall. Or, if you're down under, from winter into spring.

Autumn officially broke over the northern hemisphere and spring dawned over the southern Sunday at 2 p.m. EDT (0600 GMT). On the north side of the planet, the autumnal equinox soon means falling leaves, while the south's vernal equinox means the end to winter.
