Clinton pays respect to king Hassan

RABAT, Morocco (AP) - With a slight bow before a draped casket, President Clinton paid final respects Sunday to King Hassan II, for two generations a partner with the U.S. in Middle East peace efforts. Later, under a hot sun, Clinton joined in a three-mile funeral procession, his silver-haired presence easily visible among the throngs of white-robed, fez-wearing Moroccans around him. Moroccan TV estimated the crowd at 2 million. Many fainted from the intense heat. Clinton was among more than a score of foreign dignitaries paying tribute to the Moroccan monarch, whose death Friday ended a 38-year reign.
