LITTLE ROCK: A federal court clerk Tuesday signed U.S. District Judge George Howard Jr.'s subpoena ordering President Clinton to testify in next month's trial of James and Susan McDougal and prepared to send it to the White House. Lawyers for the President say they will advise Clinton to give his testimony on videotape or via a satellite conference call.

The clerk working inside the booth suffered severe burns. G.O.P. presidential contender Bob Dole, who has been campaigning against Hollywood's "pornography of violence," took to the Senate floor to urge a boycott of the film.
