Clinton: Still may head off Palestinian showdown
None
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says there is still time to find a solution to the diplomatic crisis over plans by the Palestinians to demand statehood rights at the UN this week.
Clinton tells reporters in New York that the US is talking with all sides to defuse the standoff. Speaking Monday, on the eve of the annual UN General Assembly, Clinton says the week is young and there are still several days to seek compromise. (AP)
