    Colorful balloons bobbed in the breeze. A huge banner reading "The Weber School" lay across a backhoe. A large tent teemed with people eating cake. The groundbreaking ceremony Sunday afternoon was supposed to celebrate the start of construction of the private Jewish high school's 18-acre campus in Sandy Springs. Instead, a mood of uncertainty and apprehension mixed with the hot late-summer air as parents and school officials grappled with the realization that all the plans they've made may be in jeopardy. The Fulton County school system wants to buy the Weber School site and use the land to build a...

    U.S. Lifts Libya Travel Restrictions WASHINGTON — The United States lifted a long-standing ban on travel to Libya on Thursday after Moammar Gadhafi's government affirmed that it was responsible for the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 (search) in 1988. The White House announcement lifted travel curbs that have been in place for 23 years against Libya, a country which the United States had long branded a sponsor of state terrorism. The lifting of the ban came after the Jamahiriya news agency disavowed assertions by the Libyan prime minister that Libya had not acknowledged it blew the jetliner out of...

    Gwinnett County on Tuesday enacted the toughest smoking restrictions in Georgia. The County Commission, in a 4-0 vote with one abstention, approved a far-reaching ban covering virtually every business and public building in unincorporated Gwinnett. "I think it was a great thing they did," said Dr. Richard Loyd, a Lawrenceville oncologist. "They set the standard for the state. I think it was a courageous thing to do in a political world." The ordinance, which takes effect April 1, bans smoking in all buildings, except for private residences, smoke shops and designated smoking rooms in motels and inns. It makes no...
