INTERNATIONAL 3-11 U.N. Leader Is Hopeful After Baghdad Meeting Emerging from his first round of talks with the Iraqi leadership, Secretary General Kofi Annan said he had a lot of work to do but was hopeful that he would be able to return to New York next week with a written agreement on arms inspections. ''We had a good meeting,'' he said. 1 Trying Times for Afrikaners Many Afrikaners, the descendants of Dutch, German and French settlers who ruled South Africa for most of this century, are groping for honorable berths in the new order. None are finding it easy. 1 Japan Pressed to Aid Asia Japan is suddenly the target of criticism for not doing enough to restore stability to Asia. Policy makers in Washington say Japan needs to act vigorously to stimulate its economy and clean up its banks. 3 20 New Catholic Cardinals Pope John Paul II elevated 20 men to the rank of cardinal. He received 19 of them in person, from 13 countries. Another was in a hospital. Two others were chosen in secret. 4 C.I.A.'s Self-Criticism The C.I.A.'s long suppressed inquest into the 1961 Bay of Pigs fiasco has finally come to light. It lays blame for the disastrous invasion of Cuba squarely on the agency's own institutional arrogance, ignorance and incompetence. 6 Irish Bomb Tied to Republicans The police chief of Northern Ireland said the bomb that ripped the center of a predominantly Protestant village west of Belfast was planted by ''Republican extremists.'' 7 NATIONAL 12-24 Seized Anthrax Found to Pose No Danger Laboratory tests of material seized as potentially deadly anthrax bacteria in Las Vegas, Nev., this week found that it was actually a harmless veterinary vaccine used to prevent anthrax and could not spread the disease to animals or humans. 1 Campaign Finance Debate After a yearlong, $3.5 million investigation into the fund-raising abuses of the last Presidential race, the Senate will take up the debate once again on Monday, with advocates of overhauling the campaign finance system acknowledging that they may be seven or eight votes short of the number needed to prevail. 16 Tough Defense in Court-Martial Charles W. Gittins, the civilian defense counsel for Sgt. Maj. Gene C. McKinney, who is facing court-martial at nearby Fort Belvoir on 19 counts of sexual misconduct and obstruction of justice, pushes the envelope, in the vernacular of his former career as a Marine Corps pilot. Yet Mr. Gittins, 41, is Sergeant Major McKinney's fiercest defender. He threatened, before the court-martial, to name top Army officers allowed to retire quietly after sexual misconduct accusations, unlike Sergeant Major McKinney. 12 Judge Is Praised in Inquiry Chief Judge Norma Holloway Johnson who oversees the investigation into the relationship of President Clinton and Monica S. Lewinsky in Federal District Court in Washington is seen as a firm guardian of procedure who has little tolerance for violations of proper legal behavior. Lawyers say her supervision has prevented major new leaks in the inquiry. And she wins high praise from lawyers for moving cases along. 22 NEW YORK/REGION 29-36 Security Cameras Proliferate Quietly, security cameras have crept into countless places in New York. 1 Infertility's High Costs A growing number of couples are facing severe financial crises as scientists develop new treatments to combat physical problems that prevent pregnancy. 1 TV Update 38 Weather 36

The agreement could avert another American attack on Iraq and recharge the arms inspection process that was put in place after the Persian Gulf War. A1 Senior Clinton Administration officials warned that deeds, not words, were required to resolve the crisis with Iraq. They said they would withhold judgment on the import of Mr. Annan's visit to Baghdad until he returned on Tuesday with details. A1
