Dominique

People in Union Bridge have been seeing double lately. Actually, they have had a double-dose of double vision. That's because the Francis Scott Key girls basketball team has two sets of twins. Dominique and Tommeaka Brown, both 5-foot-11 seniors, are fraternal twins, while 5-2 seniors Candice and Melody Voland are identical. Having two pairs of twins on the same team can cause some confusion, but it also has its advantages, Eagles coach Ed Williar said. "There is definitely a chemistry between twins," he said.

HOUSTON -- In 1996, 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu showed an inner strength that belied her age by refusing to let a stress fracture keep her from competing in the Olympics Games in Atlanta.But masked beneath her steely eyes, a different kind of stress was taking its toll.The pressure of being driven by her parents to be an Olympic athlete since she was 3 years old finally got to Moceanu. On Monday, at age 17, she filed a lawsuit in state district court in Houston asking to be declared a legal adult so her parents would not have control over her -- or her money.

ATLANTA -- Bela Karolyi found out about Dominique Moceanu's magic in the privacy of his Houston gym more than four years ago. There he saw his past, both in Romania and America, in an athlete who looked like Nadia Comaneci, smiled like Mary Lou Retton and worked like Kim Zmeskal."

FAIRFAX, Va. -- She is tiny, even by the seemingly minuscule standards of a sport in which some of its smallest athletes often become the world's giants. She will be 14 in August, and barely looks 10.But there is something about Dominique Moceanu that seems different from many of those who have preceded her, those who have become champions as well as casualties in the sometimes tragic world of women's gymnastics.She sparkles.She bounces.She even smiles when's she's not supposed to."I don't fake smile," she said yesterday.

NEW ORLEANS -- Bela Karolyi said earlier this week that he preferred his latest prodigy, Dominique Moceanu, not win the all-around title in the 1995 National Championships here at the Louisiana Superdome.She would be too young.It would mean too much pressure.Karolyi didn't get his wish, because Moceanu also was too good.In an inspiring performance that many believe served as a preview for next summer's Olympic Games in Atlanta, the 13-year-old wunderkind from Houston won the women's competition last night to become the youngest female national champion in the 33-year history of the event.

FAIRFAX, Va. -- When she found herself in third place Thursday after the first night of the Visa Challenge gymnastics competition at the Patriot Center, Dominique Moceanu seemed disappointed."

Baby Jane Doe is only 7 days old, and she already has two new names and a new home.The baby, who was abandoned on a Southwest Baltimore doorstep just minutes after being born, was renamed Dominique yesterday by workers of the city Department of Social Services after she was released from the hospital and transferred to foster care.But to some Pigtown residents who found the newborn in a plastic bag at 4:15 a.m. last Thursday, Baby Jane Doe's name is "Lucky Wilhelm."Dominique "is a beautiful name.

Obsessive love is among the most powerful emotions experienced by men, and it has rarely been treated as affectingly as it is in director-screenwriter Krzysztof Kieslowski's movie "White.""White," which opens today at the Loews Rotunda Cinemas, is the third in a trilogy by the Polish-born director in which the colors of the French Tricolor are used to explore liberty ("Blue"), fraternity ("Red") and equality ("White").There is nothing less equal than a situation in which one person loves another who no longer loves him. Equality in "White" is achieved at dreadful emotional expense and with bitterly ironic consequences.

The children spoke first, an appropriate gesture considering they have the most to lose. Dominique Ritch, 14, strode to the microphone at midcourt in the gym of the Rosemont Police Athletic League Center and faced the director of Baltimore's Department of Recreation and Parks. His first words would be repeated in some form or another throughout the evening by children, teens and adults. "I want to know why you all are closing our rec center," the Calverton Middle School seventh-grader asked.

The mayor's public schedule looked like her very own police blotter yesterday. She talked about crime to high school students, honored cops who helped reduce homicides and tried to get people to stop leaving valuables in their cars to keep them from being broken into. In the span of three hours at three separate events in West Baltimore and downtown, Sheila Dixon addressed one of the most serious ills of a violent city and one of the most aggravating nuisance crimes in a place some people are afraid to visit, and found herself in front of audiences both broken by disorder and governed by order.

The hero of Jonathan Demme's masterly new documentary The Agronomist gives off a glow that doesn't stop in misfortune, tragedy - or death. Demme's friend Jean Dominique, a cultured member of Haiti's French-speaking elite, trained in Paris as an agronomist (an expert in the science of soil management). But when he returned to his native land he found himself drawn to political life, to movies and moviemaking, and ultimately to radio journalism. Running his own station was a brilliant choice.

The following is an excerpt of British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw's remarks to the U.N. Security Council: In his remarks, Dominique de Villepin said that - and described a lot of diplomatic pressure by the nonaligned movement, by the European Union, by the Arab League and by many others. And I greatly welcome all of that diplomatic pressure. Dominique went on to say, "And the United States and United Kingdom forces lend support to that pressure." With respect to my good friend, I think it's the other way around.

The following is an excerpt of French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin's remarks to the U.N. Security Council : What have the inspectors told us? That for a month Iraq has been actively cooperating with them, that substantial progress has been made in the area of ballistics with the progressive destruction of al-Samoud 2 missiles and their equipment, that new prospects are opening up with the recent question of several scientists. Significant evidence of real disarmament has now been observed, and that is indeed the key to Resolution 1441.
