WORLD DEATH Tanzania's first president dies LONDON (AP) Julius Nyerere, Tanzania's first president and a universally revered a elder statesman who was instrumental in efforts to forge African unity, died Thursday of complications stemming from leukemia. He was 77. Nyerere was diagnosed with leukemia in 1998.

His doctors said earlier that he had suffered a massive stroke and would not recover. Kenya, Uganda and South Africa ordered their flags flown at half-staff in his honor, while Nelson Mandela praised the man he said had strived for the liberation of Africa as "part of a single struggle for a better world." After 23 years in office, Nyerere stepped down in 1985. But he remained a potent force in Tanzanian and regional politics. Police: NYC tourists telling tall tales for insurance money NEW YORK (AP) In the city a million scams, police say tourists are finally taking their turn spinning tales of muggings that never happened in a bid to collect travel insurance money. Phony victims "give us a Hollywood version," explained Capt.

James O'Neill of the New York Police Department's Central Park Precinct. "Something corny, like the perp said, 'Stick 'em Nobody says that anymore." Police say they've heard tall tales from visitors from England, Germany, Japan, Australia and the United States. Tourists seem to believe the 840-acre Central Park is akin to the Wild West, and a few are determined to cash in. Police know of 10 tourists who've filed false mugging reports this year in the park, along with six New Yorkers. Filing a false report can cost $500 to $1,000 in fines and jail time of 60 days to four years.

"We arrested a man from Wales in March, and he said it was a well-known fact in Wales that you can report a robbery in Central Park and no one would question SOUTH CAROLINA LAKELANDS COMMUNITY Greenwoo BULLETIN BOARD McCormick Greenwood student selected to attend D.C. conference WASHINGTON, D.C.

-Capt. James O'Neill, police department 99 you because so many robberies happen here," O'Neill said. Wrong on both counts. Crime is down 30 percent this year in the park. As of Oct.

10, there were 53 robberies there this year, compared with 66 to the same time last year. The Central Park Conservancy says 20 million people visit the park annually. Investigators are used to separating fact from fiction. Sometimes, the stories take on Indiana Jones proportions. A few favorites around the precinct: -The armed-to-the-teeth tale: "One guy from England said he was robbed by three men, and one guy had a knife in his belt, up his arm and up another sleeve." -The "robbers on Rollerblades ruse," involving two purported victims and three scofflaw skaters.

-The "robbed in broad daylight surrounded by hundreds of people" scenario. (This one really had cops rolling their eyes.) European insurance companies have cracked down on travel insurance fraud, said Suzanne Moore, spokesperson for the Association of British Insurers. Travel insurance fraud costs Great Britain 50 million pounds a year about $82.5 million in U.S. currency, Moore said. Often, the "victims" claim that some time has lapsed since the purported crime.

"They come in and say they're leaving that night to go back home and a all they need is the complaint number for the insurance company," O'Neill said. Often, he said, they crumble under questioning.
