ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Savvy Shields had only been Miss America for less than an hour, but she already had a clear vision of what she hopes America will look like at the end of her term next year.
"I hope that at the end of my year, we're starting to reward politicians for compromise," she said.
Shields, who represented Arkansas in the pageant, won the crown Sunday night in Atlantic City. She was asked during her onstage interview what she thought of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton; she answered that while both Clinton and Republican Donald Trump have done a good job thus far, "they also need to watch what they're doing."
Meeting reporters after the pageant, Shields elaborated.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- A group of six Gulf Arab countries expressed "deep concern" Monday over a bill passed by the U.S. Congress that would allow families of Sept. 11 victims to sue the government of Saudi Arabia over the attacks.
The head of the Saudi-dominated Gulf Cooperation Council, Abdullatif al-Zayani, said in a statement that the legislation runs against the principles of international law and sets a dangerous precedent for foreign relations.

APPLE'S INSTALLMENT PLAN
Last year, Apple started offering installment-purchase plans for iPhones, with a twist. The plans start at $32.41 a month, and after 24 months you own the phone.
The twist is that you can upgrade to a new phone every year - technically, after making 12 payments, turning in your old phone and starting a new installment plan. You could still owe more if your phone is damaged; while Apple includes its AppleCare service program, which covers two damage "incidents," it will charge you $29 for screen damage and $99 for any other damage, plus tax.
