    THE SENATE APPROVED a family-leave measure by a
 comfortable margin.
    The bill would require all employers to provide 12 weeks
 of unpaid leave each year for childbirth or adoption, or when
 an employee or family member is ill.  Exempted from the
 requirement would be employers with 50 or fewer employees.
 The margin of passage suggested enough support to override
 Bush's threatened veto.  Last year, Congress passed a similar
 family-leave measure, but lacked enough votes to overcome a
 veto.
    The Senate vote came one day after Congress challenged
 another Bush veto threat by approving a measure that would
 extend unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless.

    An AIDS researcher in Britain reported that some
 encouraging experimental results regarding development of an
 AIDS vaccine were based on a false assumption.  He said
 laboratory monkeys that developed immunity to an AIDS-like
 disease hadn't responded to a trial vaccine, as had been
 assumed.
