Clinton Seeks Upgraded Internet 

   President Clinton is emphasizing the high-tech road of the future on the
campaign trail today. During visits to Knoxville, Tenn., and Dayton, Ohio,
Clinton proposed a $100 million plan to expand the reach of the Internet.
``It would lead to an explosion in learning,'' Clinton told a campaign rally
in downtown Dayton. In Knoxville, Clinton said he wants to see the day ``when
computers are as much a part of classrooms as blackboards.'' The proposal
includes giving free Internet service to schools and libraries and upgrading
the Internet to make it 100 to 1,000 times faster than the existing system.
