Climber, 20, is youngest to reach Seven Summits

SEATTLE -- Danielle Fisher has been climbing mountains for nearly a quarter of her lifetime. Of course, at age 20 that's only been about five years. Last week, Fisher became the youngest person to climb the highest peaks on each of the seven continents -- completing the feat when she reached the 29,035-foot summit of Mount Everest on Wednesday. The previous record holder, Britton Keeshan of Connecticut, completed the Seven Summits last year at age 22.

Nation's No. 1 oldies station changes formats

NEW YORK -- It's the day the music died. WCBS-FM, the top oldies station in the nation for more than three decades, stunned its legion of listeners by abruptly switching formats this weekend. Goodbye, Buddy Holly and the Beach Boys. Hello, Duran Duran and Jet. The station had switched to an oldies format in 1972. Radio formats came and went -- disco, punk, hip-hop, talk, sports talk -- but WCBS-FM remained unchanged. The station's new format is an eclectic mix of hit music from the '70s through the present.

Ex-aide: Bolton behind 'unlawful' firing of diplomat

John R. Bolton flew to Europe in 2002 to confront the head of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, and demand he resign, then orchestrated the firing of the unwilling diplomat in a move a U.N. tribunal has since judged unlawful, according to officials involved. A former Bolton deputy says the U.S. undersecretary of state felt Jose Bustani "had to go," particularly because Bustani was trying to send chemical weapons inspectors to Baghdad. That might have helped defuse the crisis over alleged Iraqi weapons and undermined a U.S. rationale for war.

Palestinian leader delays parliamentary elections

RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday postponed parliamentary elections indefinitely, giving his embattled Fatah party time to halt political infighting and shore up support against a growing challenge from Hamas. The Islamic militant group angrily accused Abbas of stonewalling but said it will continue to honor a cease-fire with Israel. No new date was announced for the election, originally scheduled for July 17.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba -- Three men who said they dropped off an Alabama teenager at her hotel have emerged as "the most important lead" in the honor student's disappearance on this Dutch Caribbean island, police said Saturday. Police, Dutch troops and hundreds of volunteers scouring the coastline and beaches for six days have found no trace of Natalee Holloway, 18. Deputy police chief Gerold Dompig said authorities were investigating the background and story of two Surinamese men and a native of the Netherlands who said they dropped her off at the Holiday Inn before dawn Monday.

New U.N. blueprint avoids key contentious issues

UNITED NATIONS -- Governments received Friday the first draft of a plan for overhauling the United Nations, complete with demands to pay more attention to poverty and human rights. But the document avoided the contentious issues of Security Council expansion, defining terrorism and guidelines for using force. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has called a summit in September for the purpose of strengthening the world body.
