Summary:The first half of this year was the warmest six months ever recorded - and July is likely to set a record as well, climate experts said. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data showed June temperatures over both land and water at an all-time high. Records for each of the previous five months were also eclipsed. Vice President Al Gore said the temperatures were more evidence of a long-term warming of the planet caused by man-made pollution. Independent counsel Kenneth Starr subpoenaed Larry Cockell, head of President Clinton's security detail, and up to six other plainclothes officers to appear before a grand jury in the Monica Lewinsky probe. Starr previously sought testimony from two Secret Service officers and a Secret Service lawyer, but not from agents on Clinton's personal detail. Starr's latest move followed a Justice Department appeal of a court ruling requiring the testimony of Secret Service officers. A chartered Boeing 767 carried 203 passengers from Miami to Havana, as the US resumed direct flights to Cuba. The US trade embargo against Cuba remains in place, but Clinton lifted the ban on direct flights in March after the January visit of Pope John Paul II to Cuba. The Treasury Department has granted approvals to nine companies to resume direct flights.
