Isaac Approaches Haiti, D.R.; Hurricane Strength Expected Next Week 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Tropical Storm Isaac has picked up strength as it heads for the
Dominican Republic and Haiti, but appears unlikely to reach hurricane
strength before striking the island of Hispaniola. Forecasters now say
Isaac may not reach hurricane status until Monday, when it will be
somewhere over the Gulf of Mexico.
