Betrays Panic of Serbs Who fled Town
' By Roger Gc*en ;

OKUCANL Croatia — The rebel Sobs
who long hdd this town hare fled before
the Croatian Army, leaving their washing
still soaking in buckets, their food still
sitting cat stoves, and their pigs and chick-
ens meandering aimlessly among deserted
houses.
The Serbs clearly left in hasteiust before
the Croatian Army swept into Okucani on
Tuesday in a sudden offensive that cap-
tured most of the Serbian-held enclave of
western Slavonia.
A cease-fire announced on Wednesday
by the United Nations predictably col-
lapsed Thursday as the Croatian Army
engaged in a heavy tank and artillery dud
near Pakrac with several hundred Serbs
armed with mortars. -

in hastily donned civilian clothes, came

point by Croatian soldiers. ]
[Hundreds of bewildered Serbian wom-
en, children and elderly, lined up in the

Yasushi Akashi, the top United Nations
official in the former Yugoslavia, said
Thursday that he was concerned that a
“spiral of escalation" might “threaten the
remaining prospect fa- peace in this area.”
On Wednesday, he said he had the “word
of honor” of both sides that fighting would
stop in Croatia.
In Okucani, one of the largest towns in
the formerly Serbian enclave about 120
kilometers (75 miles) southeast of Zagreb,
it was dear Thursday that another of the
large and abrupt shifts of population that
have characterized the collapse of Yugo-
slavia had just taken place, leaving its
legacy of confusion and fear, and perhaps
the seeds of some future conflict.

As Israel Relaxes, It Reveals the Spies Hidden in Prisons
By Clyde Haberman
■Vw York Times Service
JERUSALEM — Suddenly they disap-
peared, and months or even many years
passed before anyone but a handful of
people knew that they had been in prison
all along. „ ,
They are a relatively small group of
Israelis — some experts estimate a dozen,
others mew, but few* know for sure— -who
were arrested, tried, convicted and impris-
oned for espionage with no one but their
families and lawyers having a clue as to
what had happened to them. And those
people were forbidden to say a word.
With the court-ordered disclosure re-
cently that a convicted Soviet spy has been
kept secretly in prison since 1988, Israel
seems to have closed a chapter in its long-
standing policy of keeping trials and jail-
ings hidden in certain security cases.
Government officials and legislators say
they believe that now that information has
been provided about the spy, Gregory
Londin, 67, no one is secretly behind bars.
“I hope that this time we've really
changed the pattern," said Dedi Zucker,
chairman of Parliament’s law and consti-
tution committee. “To keep people locked
up in a free society, unnamed and secret —
that is impossible.”
Bui Mr. Zucker and others familiar with
the situation acknowledge that they cannot
be sure that secret trials will not be held in
the future, or indeed that no one is still
being kept clandestinely in jaiL
For many years, the Mossad and Shin
Bet secret services argued that certain espi-
onage cases were so sensitive that merely
divulging their existence would compro-
mise stale security.
In a country that has felt threatened
from its beginnings in 1948, secrecy is a
compelling policy for many people, espe-
cially if it involves atomic bombs and other
unconventional weapons that Israel is be-
lieved to possess.
“You have in Israel this deep taboo
about security affairs,” said Moshe Negbi.
a legal commentator for Israel Radio and a
Hebrew University law professor. “It’s
beam of a siege mentality.”
But in recent years Israeli altitudes have
begun to change. In part it is because Israel
has been signing peace agreements with
Arab neighbors, in pan because the securi-
ty services have lost some of their luster, in
pan because Israeli society in general is
more open.
“In the old days. Father knew best and
knew everything,” said Uri Dromi, direc-
tor of the Government Press Office. Now,
he said, “we’re opening up and trying hard
to strike a balance between our democratic
nature and the need to protect our interests
in national security.”
A recent ruling by the Israeli Supreme
Court in the Londin affair was a sign of the

New York Times Sercice
NEW YORK — On the afternoon of
March 31 , less than three weeks before the
O klahoma City bombing, an old rusi-
bucket Pontiac drove up to the Imperial
Motel on Route 66 in Kingman, Arizona,
and Timothy James McVeigh got out and
strode into the office to rent a room. It was
easy to mistake him for a soldier.
He wore camouflage fatigues and black
army boots and carried a green duffel bag.
There was a parade-ground discipline in
his clean-cut appearance, in the lean stony
face and crew cut. His manner resonated
with military courtesy. And when he regis-
tered, be listed his address as Fort Riley,
Kansas.
For the next 12 days, he remained in his
room, emerging only for occasional meals
and once to pay his bilL He had no visitors,
made no phone calls. Beyond mussing the
covers of his king-size bed, he barely dis-
turbed the furnishings. No one heard his
television. His car never moved from its
place outside.
Day after day, there was only a silence
behind the drawn blinds and the locked
door.
“That’s the funny thing,” Helmut Hofer
the motel’s owner, remembered. “He
didn’t go out He didn’t make phone calls.
He didn't do anything. He just sat up there
and brooded,”
He had always been a brooder, this
intense young man from upstate New
York who loved guns and danger and
isolation, who saw himself as a new fron-
tiersman in a nation that had lost its origi-
nal values, a hard realist where others were
blind to corruption and conspiracies, espe-
cially in government.
On April 12, he left the motel.
On April 17, he rented a truck in Kan-
sas.
On April 19. it blew up in Oklahoma
City.
Two weeks after the nation’s worst ter-
rorist bombing, Mr. McVeigh. 27, who was
picked up in a nearby town and is the only
person thus far charged in the case, calls
himself & “prisoner of war,” refuses to
answer investigators' questions and re-
mains an enigma, as silent in his cell as he

thousand other Serbs of the Okucani area,
many of whom fled southward this week to
the Serbian-held pan of Bosnia.
The Croatian defense minister. Gojko
Susak, said Thursday that 350 to 450 Sobs
had died during the Croatian offensive this
week. A total of 33 Croatian soldiers were
also killed, be said.
These Serbs of western Slavonia were
among those who have fought against join-
ing the independent Croatian state estab-
lished in 1991 and established their own
self-styled republic in an area they call the
Krajina. With the loss of the Slavonian
enclave this week, the Krajina — now
made up of two enclaves more strongly
defended than western Slavonia was —
accounts for just over 20 percent of Cro-
atia, compared with dose to 30 percent
previously.
In the streets of Dubovac, leading into
the center of Okucani, only one civilian
could be found Thursday among large
numbers of Croatian polic* and soldiers.

WASHINGTON — U.S. and Russian
negotiators have reached broad agreement
on key elements of a package of statements
an security issues to be submitted to Bill
Clinton and Boris N. Yeltsin for their
approval at next week’s Moscow summit
meeting, but part of the deal is already
run n i n g into strong political opposition
from the Republican majority in the U.S.
Congress.
The package includes an agreement in
prindple to launch a new security dialogue
between NATO and Russia, which is
aimed at lessening Moscow’s concerns
about the proposed expansion of the West-
ern security alliance, and a reaffirmation
of the 1972 Anti- Ballistic Missile Treaty.
The Russians regard the treaty as a guar-
antee that the United Slates will make no
attempt to build a space-based missile de-
fense system, thereby drawing them into a
new arms race that they cannot possibly
hope to win.
But 50 Republican senators led by Bob
Dole, of Kansas, wrote a letter on Monday
to President Clinton expressing “strenuous
objections” to any move during the sum-
mit meeting to strengthen the ABM Trea-
ty.
Although diplomats from both sides
have been working on the text of the state-
ments for several months, they have been
reluctant to divulge details in public be-
cause there is still a chance that President
Yeltsin could reject the deal at the last
momeuL Russian negotiators have told
their American counterparts that final ap-
proval of the package will involve a “presi-
dential-level decision.”
Recent signals from Moscow suggest
that Mr. Yeltsin's thinking on European
security' issues has evolved significantly
since he stunned Western leaders in De-
cember by refusing to sign up for the
Partnership for Peace, a military' coopera-
tion program between the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and its former War-
saw Pact adversaries.
In an interview last week with Time
magazine, Mr. Yeltsin said that Moscow
and Washington were “moving closer to
finding a solution that could be acceptable
to both sides,” but that the final decision
would be made at the summit meeting next
Tuesday and Wednesday.
A senior Clinton adviser said the state-
ments that would be submitted to the two
leaders would take U.S.-Russian relations
significantly “beyond the point where we
were at last December.” While the drafts
are a “work in progress" and final details
have not been resolved, he said, the admin-

MOSCOW — Russia denied Thursday
that it had promised to sell Iran a gas
centrifuge that American officials say
would be useful in the development of
nuclear weapons.
A spokesman for the atomic energy min-
istry, Georgi Kaurov, said in an interview
on slate television that no such deal exist-
ed.
“As far as centrifuges are concerned,
and the talk about our building such cen-
trifuge equipment in Iran, this is not true,
because neither contracts nor agreements
on this issue have been signed.” Mr.
Kaurov said.
But Mr. Kaurov and a Foreign Ministry
spokesman both repeated Moscow's vows
to press ahead with the sale of nuclear
reactors to Iran, despite strenuous U.S.
objections.
“Russia will not cancel its decision even
in the event of threats from foreign states,”
the Foreign Ministry spokesman, Grigori
Karasin, said Thursday.
Russia’s planned trade with Iran in nu-
clear technology has become a major ob-
stacle in U.S.-Russian relations and a key
topic for next week's summit meeting in
Moscow between Bill Clinton and Boris N.
Yeltsin.
Washington has accused Iran of covertly
seeking to develop nuclear weapons, and
the Clinton administration asserts that
Russian technology could help Iran
achieve its goal
Russian officials respond that the tech-
nology they are planning to sell Iran is
useful for creating energy but not for mak-
ing weapons.
[An Iranian nuclear official said Thurs-
day that spent fuel from Iran’s Russian-
made reactors — potential raw material
for nuclear weapons — would be returned
to Russia for safekeeping. The Associated
Press reported from the United Nations.
The transfer would meet one of Washing-
ton’s objections to the Moscc-w-Tchran

[“We don’t have any use for it.” the
official, Mohammed Sadegh Ayatollahi,
said of the plutonium-laden by-product of
nuclear power production. He also denied
that his country was seeking gas centri-
fuges from Russia.]
Until recently, the controversy' centered
on a SI billion deal to sell light-water
reactors. American officials acknowledge
that such reactors are minimally useful in a
weapons program, but say that any nuclear
program could provide Iran with cover for
more sinister acquisitions.
In the last few days, however, attention
has shifted to the possible sale of a cen tri-

A Death in Algerial Ho Place for 'Vulgar' Culture
Entertainer’s Killers Snuff Out a Song of Hope
By Nora Boustany
Washington Paa Se Tier
O RAN, Algeria — Since the killing of
the Rai singer Cheb Hasni, things
are not the same in the neighbor-
hood of Gflmbetta.
At the Caffe des Jeunes. a bistro for young
people in this western Algerian town, the
chatter dies down when a stranger walks in.
People are fearful of those they do not know
since the idol who gave them hope beyond the
slums of Oran was gunned down in the name
of Islam.
Houari R enat hia, 29, turns pale, and his
lips tremble when he sits down. Just talking to
outsiders about a anger who was killed to
advertise the severity of retribution against
secularism could mats him a target
He and Mr. Hasni played football in Gam-
betta's narrow streets together as children.
Then Mr. Hasni became a star and stole the
hearts of all the girls.
A shadow of a smile rushes across Mr.
Benathia’s face when he tries to explain what
his friend’s music meant to him.
“When Hasni sings, we feel he is singing for
us. When he sang, he sang our truth, our
misery.” The son of a blacksmith, Mr. Hasni
never forgot his origins.
He, like other Rai singers, expressed the
realities of poverty, the emptiness of exile for
emigrant Algerian workers and the yearning
of lovers.
Rai music is a blend of Algerian melodies
with Western themes that appeals to a wide
segment of North Africans, but is viewed as
“vulgar and seditious” Western music by Is-
lamic fimriatwwntaHs ts
Mr. HasnTs mellifluous voice was a roman-
ticized lamentation of pain and sexual frus-
tration. It ahn conjured up for his listeners a
hopeful illusion of utopia and the bliss of
what might have been.
“We are messengers of the young Algeria,”
said Cheb Mami, a 28-year-old Rai ringer
who now lives in Paris. “We sing what they
think . We sing for our generation.”
A literal translation of Rai means “opin-
ion," but it means much more than that. It
conveys someone's world view in a mood of
bittersweet regrets, of someone sharing an
awareness that could have spared him the
distress of unrequited love.
The lyrics are a “testimony of life, a synthe-
sis of accumulated wisdom and of taboo sub-
jects,” said Hadj Mfliani, a professor at Oran
university and an authority on Rai.
The music is a vibrant hybrid of electro-
ethnic exotica. It is a modern adaptation of
fragments of inherited popular poeuy known
as the nseUtouTL, sung by the Bedou or gypsies
of Algeria, mixed with new instrumentation, a
swirling rush of rumbling drums, trumpets
and flowing synthesizers.
The Bedoui, the rightful ancestor of Rai,
was first sung with the accom panim ent of a
two string violin, the rebab; a drum, the djel-
lal and a reed flute, the qasba.
R AI fuses the original Bedoui melo-
dies with several musical influences.
Bedoui was the blues of uprooted
peasants and atomized rural fam-
ilies. Rai is imecled with Spanish Andalusian
flamenco, melodramatic Egyptian love songs
and Afro-American rhythms that connote the
power of desire.
“Rai is life’s experiences improvised," said
Mr. Mfliani. the professor. “It has bits of
melhonn and modem rhythms, a synthesis of
a century of music history.”
There is no great poetry or imagery in Rai
songs. Things are said honestly. It may have
reached beyond its borders, but Rai is still a
symbol of struggle and confused identities
peculiar to Algeria.
After three centuries of Spanish rule, fol-
lowed by 130 years as a French colony, Alge-
ria is a nation still trying to And itself. While
yearning for democracy, its people are
trapped between the excesses of a military

re gime and the fascism of militan ts battling
for an T -slamic state.
Mr. Miliani said Rai music began in Alge-
ria as a “social phenomenon.”
“Now it is a musical phenomenon, like
blues and rock music.” be continued. “It was
about a search for identity before it became a
wordwide music wave. It is the first Arab
music with an international dimension and
comes from the Maghreb. No one can listen
to Rai music sitting on a s ofa. You get up and
dance and it is valid in Paris, Tokyo, Los
Angeles or New York, although it speaks of
the experience of the young Algerian.”
A singer, Cheb Sahraoui, said of his experi-
ence with Western audiences: “In any audi-
ence; if there are' 10 Algerians who get up and
dance, everybody follows.”
P IERRE Rossi, a French author,
wrote in his book “The City of Isis:
The True History of the Arabs”: “In
contemporary Arab fiestas, there are
no actors on one side and spectators on an-
other; everyone is an actor” Like classical
Greek theater, Arab fiestas are not about
performance but about celebration: the party
“does not entertain, it engages,” he wrote.
It was never a music of political contesta-
tion. like American rap, but more a music of
social expression. When it started out it ad-
dressed the harshness and isolation of unwed
mothers, widows and women who found
themselves in cities without their men. Rai
adopted the themes that are at the root of
unrest in Algeria, a failed agrarian revolution,
an acute housing shortage and the contradic-
tions of society. Supposed to be Islamic, Alge-
ria’s self-image is partly reflected from a mod-
ern French secular society across the
Mediterranean.
Algerian audiences found themselves and
their lives in the songs. It was a musical
identity that summed up the various cultural
inoculations of Algeria's past since the days
of the Spanish inquisition, when Spanish
workers, Muslims and Jews, fled Spain to
Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. Traditional
social structures broke down.
Later, American troops came to Oran in
November 1942 to help sink the navy of
Vichy France. They stayed for six months
frequenting the old cabarets of the port city.
In 1945, Louis Armstrong came to perform.
When Rai first flourished, it exposed what
was happening at the heart of society, but
what nobody mentioned.
Mr. HasnTs first song, a duo with the
female singer Zahouania, became an instant
sensation. “Dima L’ Amour fi Barraka Mran-
kam” (We Made Love in a Broken Shed)
electrified Algerians with a simple metaphor
and revolutionary lyrics for the Arab world of
1987, flying against social restraint and hy-
pocrisy.
“It impacted like a bomb,” Professor Mi-
tiani recalls.
Mr. HasnTs funeral was a demonstration of
women between 16 and 60 — poor, young,
old, married or not He had defended them
and protected them with his voice, and his
lyrics showed a sensitivity to their suffering.
He had introduced a second school, a softer
Rai, beyond its initial stages of crudeness in
the late ’80s. He was as popular with the
young men. He sang of their vulnerability,
their regret at betraying their women and
their pangs of separation from those they
loved.
M ORE than 10,000 penile paid
homage to their hero with hyster-
ical cries and fainting in the fu-
neral procession. Girls, contrary
to Islamic tradition, walked into the burial
grounds and right to the edge of his grave.
Teenagers cried at his mother's doorstep for
days. The caffe where he had bought rounds of
coffee for his friends minutes before he was
killed closed down for a week.
In the suburbs of Paris, spontaneous dem-
onstrations broke out where French of Algeri-
an origin and Algerian femigrfes live.
The assassination of Mr. Hasni was as
assault on young people's hopes.
The famous Rai singer Khaled. the first to
bring his early hit song “DidT (Take It) to
international ears, was m Geneva at the time.
“I broke down. I cried," he said in Paris.
“For me, Hasni was someone who held up the
fort at home, a young man I had left behind in
Algeria. He filled my place, he spoke to the
sentimentality of the young people. He was
their Julio fglesias. People there lived in terror
and sadness and they had Hasni to forget”
Saltina Loumi, a 31-year-old computer an-
alyst in Algiers, said: “If you listen to Hasni,
and yon don’t understand all the words, his
voice music numb you, they malr« you
dream, happy, nostalgic, even if the wings of
death are over Algeria.
“My younger aster was crushed when he
died. She cried for days and went and spent
all her savings on his tapes. She discovered all
her friends had done .toe same. Our genera-
tion had known happier times, hers did not
have anything to' fan back on.”
Young people rushed to cassette stores
across Algeria to buy. up what was left of Mr.
HasnTs songs. The new releases, recorded
days before his death, quadrupled in price. .
They included one prophetic song “Qatahmi
W ana Hay” (They Killed MeandTm Alive),
which speaks of rumors that he was dead.
His death succeeded in frightening Algeria,
as the kfllets had planned, and it sparked an
exodus.
Z AHOUANIA, who sang with Mr_
Haani on his first song, went straight
from the funeral to the airport. The
husband and wife duo Sahraoui and
Fadda followed her into exile in Paris, where
most of the big Rai angers now reside.
“I had seen him just a couple of hours
before," said Fadela, a mother of three. “I
walked in his funeral, disguised in the hejab. 1
was afraid they would ItiS me,”
Over the years, the ruthless and Moody
confrontations between the regime and the
f undamentalis ts had not touched the circle of
singers. Now they are on the run.
Rashid Baba Ahmed, who helped propel ail
the Rai celebrities to fame with innovative
instrumentation, was lolled by gunmen in
March.
Hardly anyone records Rai music in Alge-
ria anymore.
“There is fear now; I know my name is on
top erf the list,” Mr. Khaled said erf the terror
that the Hasni assassination has created.
Mr. Benathia. the childhood friend, said:
“When they shot at him we ran away.”
He was talking about S»t 29, when three
men walked toward Mr. Hasni in an alley
around the comer from the caffe. People often
came to have their pictures taken with him.
But one man pulled out a 9mm pistol and shot

is expected to avoid a runoff in
elections scheduled for May 14.
Mr. Menem, a Peronist who
last year amended the constitu-
tion to allow him to seek a sec-
ond consecutive term, has re-
mained popular despite
Argentina’s current woes,
which political experts say have
helped him solidify his support
among voters, many of whom
are afraid to switch captains in
midstream.

“Mexico has been good for
Menem because it reintroduced
the fear factor into Argentine
society,” said Felipe A. No-
guera, a political analyst for
Mora, Araujo, Noguera & As-
sociates, a polling concern.
“Argentines were suddenly
reminded what it was like to live
under Hyperinflation, and many
are afraid to face the future
without the man who tamed it,"
Mr. Noguera said.
Many political analysts here
are railing Mr. Menem the
“Teflon gaucho,” referring to
bis ability to retain popular
support despite his often shift-
ing and conflicting positions.
For example, he has long en-
couraged Argentines “not to
look back" on the military’s
“dirty war" of repression dur-
ing the 19709, and he recently
chided military officers who
pubtidy admitted to human
rights abuses.
But after Argentina’s army
commander apologized for
such abuses on national televi-
sion last week, Mr. Menem said
he had ordered the commander
to take responsibility for the
army’s repression.
Oil Wednesday morning, Mr.
Meaem accompanied the Air
Force chief of staff. Brigadier
Juan Paulik, as he admitted to
“serious errors" in the war
against leftists. The navy’s chief
of staff. Admiral Enrique Moli-
na Pico, made a similar confes-
sion Wednesday afternoon. The
a dmissi ons followed a former
navy captain’s revelation that
prisoners were pushed into the
sea from airplanes.

Moscow Fears Fighting
Reuters .
GROZNY, Russia — Fight-
ing raged between Chechen re-
bels and Russian forces on
Thursday, making Defense
Minister Pavel S. Grachev wor-
ry that the violence could spoil
a gjant party planned for more
than ’50 wond leaders in Mos-
cow next week.
Heads of state from around
the world are due in Moscow
for May 9 celebrations marking
the end of World War II in
Europe 50 years ago.
General Grachev, quoted by
the official Itar-Tass press
agency, said that all but a few
rebels had been crushed com-
pletely, but that they could still
'‘spoil the festive mood.”
The rebels mounted attacks
Thursday on Russian troops in
the ruins of Grozny.

Western leaders have criti-
cized the four-month-old mili-
tary push into Chechnya to
crush the region’s independence
bid. General Grachev told In-
terfax he had no plans for peace
negotiations with Chechen field
commanders until after the Vic-
tory Day celebrations.
In a clear indication that the
fighting in the north Caucasus
region is far from over, the
Kremlin derided to send in mar
lines specially trained to fight
guerrillas, Interfax said.

New Weather Service Will Go Global
SILVER SPRING, Maryland (AP) — An international service
begun tins week aims to improve aviation safety by sharing
weather data and forecasts among nations. “The World Area
Forecast System wfll give the world aviation community weather
information necessary for safer operations and more economical
fuel allocation and departure timing." said D. James Baker, head
of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The collection of weather information from around the world
will be coordinated by the National Weather Service here and the
British Meteorological Office in London, then retransmitted by
satellite for use by any participating country.
William N. Scars of the Air Transport Association, which
represents the major airlines, said, “We’ll be receiving weather
information from parts of the world where it has been hard to
obtain at times.”

Are Stymied in Bombing Probe

;s Back the Qiain Gang
By William Booth
Washington Past Service
ELKMONT, Alabama — The rattle
of the chain gang has returned to the
South, stirring old memories, as Ala-
bama became the first state to put shack-
led prisoners to work again elrarmg
muddy ditches and. cutting high weeds
along the roadside.
More than 300 Alabama inmates
dressed in white uniforms emblazo ned
with the words “CHAIN GANG” were
led from prison buses Wednesday along
Interstate 65 in northeast Alabama and
ordered by shotgun-toting guards to
kneel in groups of five.
Then, as caged tracking dogs howled
in nearby trucks, the shackles and chains
were attached to thrf r anlrl«s a-nri history
repeated itself as cameras of a dozen TV
crews rolled
[Members of the United Nations
Cocpmittee on Torture said in Geneva on
Thursday that they were alarmed at the
return of the chain gang and might con-
sider whether it violated international
conventions, Reuters reported
[But the committee’s deputy chair-
man, Peter Bums, a Canadian lawyer,
said the practice, as shown on television,
Ad not appear to amount to torture
although it could be seen as “degrading
treatment”]
- Once ubiquitous in the South, chain
gangs largely disappeared between the
Depression and World War n. The last
few drained prisoners were pulled from
the roads in Georgia in the early 1960s.
On Wednesday, the inma tes were
bound together by thin rhnfns and ankle
bracelets that looked like oversized
handcuffs, each man’s assembly weigh-
ing j ost a bit more than three pounds (1 .4
kilograms).
As the convicts waited to begin work,
they were allowed to speak to reporters.
“It’s embarrassing and degrading.’’
said James Sears, 30, convicted of rob-
bery and in jail again because of a parole
violation. “I hate to think of ray people
seeing me this way”
Ron Jones, the Alabama corrections
commissioner, said: “My reality is bud-
get cuts and a taxpayer revolt. Obvious-
ly, we have to find cheaper and more
effective ways to manage more and more
prisoners.”
Facing a multimfllion-doUar budget
deficit, be also has unplugged cable tele-
vision from inmates’ cells and stopped
serving coffee, except on Sunday.

OKLAHOMA CITY— The
death toll in the Oklahoma City
bombing reached the grim mile-
stone of 150 on Thursday as
Attorney General Janet Reno
expressed disappointment that
a second suspect was still at
large.
Jon Hansen, the assistant fire
chief, said searchers had spot-
ted four more bodies, all adults,
in the rubble of the wrecked the
Alfred P. Murrah Federal
Building, in addition to the 146
already recovered.
About 25 people, including
three babies, were still missing
and rescuers say some may nev-
er be round because of the force
of the truck bomb explosion.
Officials said they would
probably call off the search at
the federal building sometime
Friday.
When the recovery crews
leave, relatives of the victims
will be allowed to hold a final,
private remembrance at the site.
At a news conference in
Washington, Ms. Reno said she
was disappointed that John
Doe 2, the second suspect in the
April 19 bombing, had not been
apprehended. But she denied
that the FBI was stymied in the
hunt.
“The bureau has a large num-
ber of leads and is pursuing
each lead.” she said. Calls to the
bureau’s hot line in the case,
have topped 14,000.
Two drifters whose travels
had seemed to connect them to
Timothy J. McVeigh, the only
person charged so far, were ar-
rested Tuesday at a Missouri
motel. The men, Gary Alan
Land and Robert Jacks, were
released 18 hours later.
They have been subpoenaed
to testify before a grand jury, a
Justice Department source said
in Washington.
Ms. Reno said the arrest and
quick release of Mr. Jacks and
Mr. Land showed that “it is also
important that people who are
not guilty, who are not impli-
cated are quickly clarified as
such.”
Also on Thursday. The Dal-
las Morning News reported that
authorities were trying to en-
hance the image of a pickup
truck license plate captured on
videotape by a camera in the car
of the state trooper who arrest-
ed Mr. McVeigh. The truck
pulled over when Mr. McVeigh
was slopped for a traffic viola-
tion. the newspaper said.
The camera in the car caught
the image of a brown pickup
that “dearly pulled over and
stopped when Mr. McVeigh
stopped,” the paper said, quot-
ing an anonymous source.
Officials also told the paper
that a blue pickup with a camp-
er shell closely resembling one
owned by Mr." McVeigh's army
buddy Terry Nichols was seen
by at least six witnesses at the
rural Kansas lake where investi-
gators believe the bomb may-
have been built.
Other developments:
• In a court filing, Mr.
McVeigh disavowed two Hous-
ton lawyers who said they were
hired by his family to represent
him. One of the* lawyers sug-
gested Mr. McVeigh was being
manipulated by his court-ap-
pointed defense team.
• In Decker, Michigan, radio
station WLEW reported that
federal agents again searched a
farm owned by Mr. Nichols’
brother, James, who is being
held on explosives charges un-
related to the bombing.

Simpson Defense Presses Frame- Up Theory in Blood Query
TheAaodaud Frets
LOS ANGELES — O. J. Simpson's
defense team tried to bolster itsmune-
up theory Thursday by. suggesting that
enough of the blood sample Mr. Simp-
son gave ; the pohoe was. unaccounted-
for to make 150 swatches for laborato-
ry testing.- . -V^ v ^
Mr. Simpson’s lawyers, m calculating
the amount of blood seemingly lost,
failed to take into account blood that
stuck to the rides of measuring tods or
to the cap of a test tube.
“There’s constantly Kttle bits going
out just in the process of handlin g it,”
said Gregory Matheson, the assistant
. director of the police crime lab, in his
fourth day of testimony.
The defense attorney Robert Bla-
sier, painstakingly guiding Mr. Mathe-
son through records pertaining to a
r vial pf Mr. Simpson's blood, posed a
.hypothetical situation in which 15
mflEfiteis of blood disappeared in the
_ weeks after the murders.
“Approximately how many drops
are in 15 miSifiters?” Mr. Blaster
asked.
"That would give us about 30
drops,” Mr. Matheson said. He agreed
that five swatches of the sort sent to
laboratories for testing could be re-
trieved from one drop.
Mr. Blarier then asked, “You could
make 150 swatches, couldn’t you?”
“Given that hypothetical, yes,” Mr.
Matheson said.
The defense’s ^calculation on the al-
leged missing blood assumes that eight
nrifliKters of blood were taken from
Mr. Simpson by a jail nurse the day
after the murders. A review of the
testimony by the nurse, Thano Peratis,
shows that Mr. Peratis was not certain
of the amount be took, saying only that
it was “approximately" eight cubic
centimeters, which translates to eight
milliliters in liquid measuremenL
Continuing the hypothetical, Mr.
Blarier implied evidence of a frame-up
against Mr. Simpson when he asked: If
a laboratory blood preservative is
found in blood recovered from the
crime scene, could the blood have
come from a reference sample of Mr.
Simpson’s blood that he gave volun-
tarily to investigators?
Judge Lance A. Ito allowed the
question, despite objections by the
prosecutor Hank Goldberg that Mr.
Blaster's statements were “inconsistent
with the known facts."
Mr. Matheson replied to Mr. Blarier
that “given the hypothetical as you
stated, it’s possible” that blood from
Nicole Brown Simpson’s gate could
have come from Mr. Simpson’s blood
sample, if it had preservative in it.
Prosecutors have acknowledged de-
lays in collection or testing of the
blood from both the gate and socks
found by Mr. Simpson’s bed.
In another development, the defense
lawyers were turned down when they
sought to bring into evidence a bloody
knife found near Mr. Simpson’s estate
three weeks after the slayings.
1 996 Hopeful Hired Illegal Alien
WASHINGTON — Governor Pete Wilson of California,
who has identified illegal immigration as a major issue in his
upcoming presidential campaign, employed and failed to pay
Social Security taxes for an undocumented Mexican worker
starting in the' late 1970s, while he was mayor of San Diego,
his office confirmed.
Responding to reporters’ inquiries, the Republican's office
acknowledged that Mr. WQson and his former wife employed
the woman as a part-time housekeeper without inquiring
2 bout her immigration status.
There were no employer sanctions under federal immigra-
tion law at the time the woman was hired, and therefore it was
not illegal for the Wilsons to employ an undocumented
worker. But tax laws did require them to file and pay Social
Security and other employment taxes.
An adviser to Mr. Wilson estimated that about S3.000 in
taxes, interest and penalties were owed to the federal govern-
ment, and the governor said that he and his former wife were
taking sreps to repay the money “fully and expeditiously.”
“While I have no independent verification of facts reported
to me.” Mr. Wilson said in a statement, “I can categorically
slate that I have never knowingly employed an illegal immi-
grant and never intentionally failed to make payment of the
employer's contribution to Social Security for an employee.”
Mr. Wilson's former wife. Betty Hosie. accepted full re-
sponsibility for hiring the woman and for falling to file and
pay the necessary taxes. The woman continued to work for
Mrs. Hosie until 1992. Mrs. Hosie and Mr. Wilson separated
in 1981 and later divorced. (WP)
Gingrich Resigning as PAC Head
WASHINGTON — The speaker of the House, Newt
Gingrich, is relinquishing the chairmanship of GOPAC. the
engine behind his national fund-raising network and a train-
ing tool he credits for sending a new generation of Republi-
cans to Congress and city halls and statehouses across the
country.
The Georgia Republican, who in recent weeks has shed
such outride interests as a college course he taught on week-
ends, said he was *T’ust too busy” ro be “general” chairman of
the political action committee that raised milli ons of dollars
for candidate tr ainin g but also emerged last year as a focus of
one of the ethics complaints against him.
The speaker had signaled his intention last fall to resign as
chairman and over the weekend made it official in private
conversations with donors. A GOPAC official said that about
five House members were being considered for the job and
that the selection process would begin in earnest later this
month.
Mr. Gingrich called on GOPAC to account more fully for
its roughly 52 million in annual income, saying that it should
model itself after the Republican National Committee in
publicly disclosing precisely where it raises funds. (WP)
Key Republican Racks Dr. Foster
WASHINGTON — A key Republican senator has said he
will support Dr. Henry W. Foster, the nominee to be surgeon
general, making it increasingly likely that the troubled nomi-
nation will survive committee action and be sent to the Senate
floor for a vote.
“I am confident in my own mind that you should be
approved by tins committee,” said James M. Jeffords of

If that happens, the committee could move the no minati on

that a floor vote take place. The panel is not expected to vote

A Top CIA Official to Step Down
Embattled Counterintelligence Chief Decides to Bow Out
By Walter Pincus
Washington Post Servlet
WASHINGTON — The
head of the CIA’s embattled
clandestine service, Hugh E.
Price, has told colleagues at the
agency that he wiD retire at the
end of the week,
Mr. Price’s departure had
long been forecast, but it was
expected he would remain in his
job until President Bill Clin-
ton's nominee to lead the CIA
took over.
Mr. Price, sources said, de-
rided he would not wait
The Senate Select Committee
on Intelligence voted unani-
mously Wednesday to recom-
mend the confirmation of Dep-
uty Defense Secretary John M.
Deutcb as CIA chief, and the
n orm nati on now goes to the full
Senate for a vote.
Admiral William O. Stude-
man, the acting CIA director,
issued a statement late Tuesday
calling Mr. Price an “extraordi-
narily talented and dedicated
professional” who has made
“significant contributions to
the national security of this
country."
In his testimony before the
Senate intelligence committee
last week, Mr. Deutch said he
would dean house.
At least two other top CIA
managers are scheduled to leave
this summer. Douglas MacEa-
chin, who runs the directorate
of intelligence, which does anal-
ysis, will go to Harvard on a
sabbatical, and James V.
Hirsch, who runs science and
technology, will retire.
In September 1994, Mr. Price
was the highest ranking active
CIA officer reprimanded by the
then CIA chid, R. James Wool-
sey Jr., over the Aldrich H.
Ames spy case.
Mr. Price was criticized for
failing to move aggressively in
1989 and 1990, while he was the
first deputy and then the direc-
tor of the agency’s counterintel-
ligence center, to hunt for a pos-
sible Russian “mole” at the
agency.
Mr. Woolsey'5 relatively mild
reprimand of Mr. Price and the
latter’s failure to resign or seek
another position was widely
criticized within the agency and
on Capitol Hill. At the time Mr.
Woolsey, who resigned three
months later, said he had “con-
fidence in Ted Price's ability
and professionalism, and I have
asked him to stay on.”
Mr. Price has been at the
agency for more than 30 years.
He was an expert on the Far
East who rose to the agency’s
top ranks in the wake of the
Iran-contra scandal. He be-
came assistant director of oper-
ations in 1991 and four years
later became director.
A dmir al Smd eman said that
Mr. Price would be taking a
position in private industry. He
named John J. Devine, Mr.
Price's deputy, to take over as
acting director. In 1969 Mr. De-
vine was Mr. Ames's last station
chief, in Rome, when the con-
fessed spy was carrying on his
secret work for Moscow.

East Asia and Europe Forge a New Link to Ease Tensions
By Michael Richardson
International ffemUTribme
SINGAPORE — East Asia and the
European Union agreed Thursday to
hold a first-ever meeting of their lead-
ers in Thailand early in 1996 to devel-
op stronger political ties and reduce
economic friction so that trade and
investment between the two can grow
faster.
Senior officials from the EU and the
Association of South East Asian Na-
tions meeting in Singapore said in a
joint statement that the talks would
“bring together two of the most eco-
nomically dynamic regions in the
world,” paving the way for a new era in
their relations.
The summit meeting, which is ex-
pected to become a regular gathering,
will complete a missing link in the
framework for top-level negotiations
among North America, Europe and
East Asia — the three main centers of
economic power in the 21 st century.
North America is linked to the Eu-
ropean Union through summit meet-
ings of NATO and the Group of Seven
leading industrialized nations.
More recently. North America and
East Asia have been linked through
informal meetings of leaders through
the Asia-Pacific Economic Coopera-
tion forum. At its second summit
meeting, in November in Bogor, Indo-
nesia, APEC agreed on a goal of free
trade and investment in the region by
the year 2020.
Asian officials want to bridge the
gap between Europe and Asia by bold-
tog top-level talks among governments
on a continuing basis in the hope that
this will help keep the giant European
market open to Asian exports.
A number of Asian countries also
see Europe as a counterweight to the
powerful presence of the United
States, Japan and China in the Asia-
Pacific region.
Goh Cook Tong, the prime minister
of Singapore who rim proposed the
summit meeting last October, said re-
in each other’s well-being if a stable
world order was to be be maintained.
He said the key challenge was “how
to accommodate the emergence of
China and the whole of East Asia in a
way that produces synergy from <
eration rather than tension over
and political issues.”
- Past meetings of ASEAN and EU
officials have been dominated by heat-
ed disagreements over labor and envi-
ronmental standards, hi mu'*" rights,
Burma, East Timor and other issues.
While substantial differences re-
main between the two sides, officials at
the Singapore meeting said that there
was now a greater readiness to “agree
to disagree” on some matters while
strengthening cooperation in other
major areas of common interest.
“We find that we have much more in
East Asia more to European
investment.
common than we have differences,”* and Bonn, saw the su mtmt meetiflg, as
said Rodolfo Severino, undersecretary
cently that _ North America, Europe for foreign affairs of the Philippines,
and East Asia must increase their stake officials said that the participants
and agenda for the Europe-East Aria
summit talks in Bangkok, which will
probably take place in March, had yet
to be finalized.
But Gaude Blanchemaison, a senior
French Foreign Ministry official, indi-
cated that the leaders of aD 15 EU
member states would take part.
Kishore Mahbubani, permanent
secretary of the Singaporean Foreign
Ministry, said that East Aria was likely
to be represented by ASEAN, Chin*,
Japan and South Korea.
ASEAN is made up of Brunei, Indo-
nesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sin-
gapore and T hailand Vietnam is to
jom the group in July and will be
eligible to take part in the Bangkok
meeting.
European diplomats said that EU

generator of trade, lags those of Japan
and the United States.
European leaders, at a meeting in
Germany,, in December, en-
dorsed a new strategy for dealing with
Aria based an a program drawn up by
■the European Commission.

Sri Lankan Rebels’ Use of Missiles Is ‘Fright ening ,’ India Says
' Ajil Karaor/Tbr Awo ckn od Ptm
Mr. Rao talking with reporters at the end of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation meeting Thursday.
Reuters
NEW DELHI —Prime Min-
ister P. V. Nararimba Rao said
a Thursday that the use of sur-
' face- to- air missiles by Tamil
rebels in neighboring Sri Lanka
was a frightening development
for South Asia.
He said leaders of seven
South Asian nations, who end-
ed a three-day meeting on
Thursday, were concerned by
the use of the new weaponry by
guerrillas of the Liberation Ti-
gers of Tamil Eelam in their 12-
year-old separatist wax against
Colombo.
President (Tun-idrilm Bandar-
ana i Ire Kumaratunga of Sri
Ijmka returned home Wednes-
day after attending the opening
session of the summit an Tues-
day, citing the renewed war
with the rebels. She talked with
Mr. Rap before cutting short
her trip.
In Colombo on Thursday,
the police rounded up thou-
sands of Tamils after receiving
intelligence reports that rebel
assassin ation squads were infil-
trating the capital.
“Thousands of people, most-
. Tamils, have been detained
for questioning in recent days,”
a police officer said. “Most of
them have since been released.”
But he said 60 Tamil youths
suspected of bring hard-core
members of the Liberation Ti-
gers had been detained.
A Tamil woman, believed to
be a rebel infiltrator, committed
suicide by swallowing cyanide

Head of an Indian State Jails
Thousands of Her Opponents

MADRAS, India — Thou-

chief minister of TamO Nadu

state, the police said.
Nearly 35,000 members of

said shops in suburban areas

The state’s chief minister has
been under a cloud since April,

Chirac Signals Reservations on European Unification
The Jacques Chirac character on the program ‘Les Cuignols de rinfo.' The mayor is a fan, a campaign aide said.
Even the Real Candidate Likes to Watch
By Craig R. Whitney
New York Tim es Service - - -
PARIS — AS of France would nor-
mally be glued to the television news at 8
P-M. on Election Day, when the polls in
the presidential- elections close and com-
puter projections teD who won — r. the
conservative Jacques Chirac or the So-
cialist candidate, Lionel Jospin.
But millions of French viewers may
prefer to slick with the virtual-reality
version of the political news early elec-
tion night on Sunday.
Les Guignds de lTnfo, whose satirical
styrofoam puppets mock the candidates
and the country's best known news an-
chor, Patrick Poivre xTArvor, are sched-
uled in a 55-minute special that will
begin at 7:35 PM.
Mr. Chirac may even steal a peek.
“He loves to watch, them.” a dose
campaign aide said, “and there’s' no
doubt that they've helped create an im-
age of sympathy in the countiy at large
— but mostly he laughs at the caricatures
of other people.”
The Gragnok, a regular feature of a
variety entertainment program shown on
the Canal Plus cable channel, and a com-
peting political puppet satire called the
*‘B£b£te Show” on the TF1 broadcast
network, both .appear just before Mr.
Poivre (TArvors 8 KM. newscast on
TF1.
The Bdbfites are older, having started
seven years earlier than the Guignols, in
1981. and depict the politidans as ani-
mals.
Mr. Chirac and Prime Minister
Edouard Bahadur are both birds, and
President Francois Mitterrand was origi-
nally inspired by the Mtrppet character
Kermit the Frog,
In recent years, the Guignols appear to
have had the greater impact
In 1993, when Mr. Chirac's conserva-
tives won the legislative elections and his
friend of 30 years, Edouard Bahadur,
became prime minister, Mr. Chirac's sty-
rofoam self on the Gidgnols began say-
ing nightly “Damn it two more years!'’
The phrase became a political slogan.
As Mr. Bahadur developed his own
presidential ambitions, the Chirac pup-
pet began complaining of an aching
bade, studded with knives and hatchets
that he cotddn’t see.
Mr. Jospin, a former education minis-
ter who comes across on the show as a
nervous professor, said in an interview
recently that dramatizations of the cut-
throat rivalry between the two conserva-
tive candidates had made it difficult for
him to get his own Socialist message
across.
If the Guignds have helped Mr.
Chirac, it must be because the French
love to find irony in heavy-handedness.
He adopted an apple tree as his cam-
paign symbol this year after the show
made apples a symbol of the vagueness
of his proposals to win the presidency on
his third try.
“Eat apples,” the puppet would an-
swer when asked any difficult or compli-
cated question.
After Mr. Balladur was knocked out of
the race last month, a Guignol episode
had Chirac gang around with a silencer-
equipped gun settling scores with Balla-
dur supporters, looking like an aging,
long-haired John Travolta in a scene
from “Pulp Fiction.”
First, he and a sidekick knocked off
Nicolas Sarkozy, the budget minister.
Then it was the turn of Interior Minis-
ter Charles Pasqua, gunned down like a
Mafia don while eating spaghetti solo in
a restaurant.
Finally former President Valery Gis-
card d'Estaing walked in, and he, too.
was shot.
“But he’s with us." Chirac's compan-
ion exclaimed.
“Oh, sorry,” the mayor murmured.
On Monday night, the patrician pup-
pet prime minis ter lectured Poivre d’Ar-
vor that now that he was no longer in the
presidential race, he didn’t need to pre-
tend to be nice anymore.
In fact, conceding defeat on April 23.
the real Mr. Balladur told his supporters
to “shut up” when they booed Mr. Chir-
ac's name.
The plastic Poivre d'Arvor endured
the indignity obsequiously.
By Joseph Fitchett
I Menu: nonet Herald Tthuee
PARIS — Jacques Chirac,
the conservative candidate in
the French presidential elec-
tion. openly signaled doubts
Thursday abouf the future di-
rection of European unifica-
tion. saving that he would hold
a new referendum on the issue
after the Maastricht treaty re-
view conference, presumably in
1997.
By announcing an initiative
on Europe only three days be-
fore the election on Sunday.
Mr. Chirac risked creating the
impression that he was acting in
haste, perhaps because of fears
in the Chirac camp — not per-
ceptible to outsiders — of soft-
ening support.
Opponents immediately ac-
cused him of an electoral ma-
neuver, and diplomats recalled
that some voters had deserted
Mr. Chirac at the last minute in
the 1 988 presidential campaign
after a sudden anti- terrorist op-
eration just before the vote.
Beyond France, the last-min-
ute nature of the initiative is
liable to unsettie Germany and
other European countries, wor-
rying them about Mr. Chirac's
reliability after Bonn's steady
partnership with President
Franqois Mitterrand.
Jacques Delors. the former
European Commission chief
and a key backer of the Socialist
candidate, Lionel Jospin,
branded Mr. Chirac's call for a
referendum a “bad act against
France.”
“The way Jacques Chirac an-
nounced (i looks like a maneu-
ver Mr. Delors said. “The aim
is to fish for anti-Maastricht
votes. Our partners immediate-
ly understood that France
would go back on its commit-
ment to economic and mone-
tary union.”
The future of Europe has
been conspicuously absent in
the electoral campaign, even
though it is the main 'question
that interests France's neigh-
bors.
It got only lip service in the
face-to-face debate on Tuesday-
night. and Mr. Jospin subse-
quently acknowledged that he
had lost an opportunity to press
for contradictions in nis oppo-
nent's positions on Europe.
On the face of it. the call for
anoiher referendum on Europe
is a credible initiative designed,
in Mr. Chirac's words, to “rec-
oncile the French on Europe
and with Europe.”
But it will be seen as on ap-
peal to France's extreme right,
where voters will read it as hesi-
tation about pursuing Europe-
an unity.
In a balancing gesture to pro-
European voters, Mr. Chirac re-
newed his proposal that the Eu-
ropean Union should have a
president to give voice to Eu-
rope’s views about the world.
The new presentation more
closely reflects Mr. Chirac's
views on Europe, which have
been artfully ambiguous in
public during' the campaign.
But it is an open secret that
Mr. Chirac, while expressing
support for European unity,
wants governments, especially
France, to recover more initia-
tive in the next steps. He feels
that voters throughout Europe
have been alienated by too- rap-
id moves to subordinate gov-
ernments' authority to the Eu-
ropean Commission.
G early, he hopes to use the
review conference to restore
more power to the bigger Euro-
pean governments — Britain,
France and Germany — and
cut short any drift toward su-
pemational powers.
Withdrawal From Iraq
Completed, Turkey Says
The Associated Press
ANKARA — Turkey has
withdrawn its troops from
northern Iraq, six weeks after
35.000 soldiers crossed the bor-
der to attack Kurdish rebel
bases, officials said Thursday.
“We have no soldieis left in

ter Mehmet Golhan said before
a cabinet meeting. “We have

New Revelations Illuminate the Last Days of Hitler
By Stephen Kinzer
New York Times Senice
BERLIN — Fifty years ago, with his “thousand-
year Reich” in ruins. Hitler committed suicide, ending
a life that may have brought more suffering to more
people than any other in history.
Because no clearly identifiable corpse was known to
have been found, uncertainty about Hitler’s fate per-
sisted for years. But in recent weeks, new information
has emerged that not only proves conclusively that the
Nazi dictator killed hims elf in his underground bun-
ker, but also iHinmnates details of the hours immedi-
ately before and after his death, as wefl as the way the
Soviet Union disposed of his remains 25 years later.
On April 28, Hitler received news that Mussolini
had been captured by partisans, shot and hanged
upside-down in Milan. Hiller was probably aware that
Stalin was anxious to capture him alive and had
ordered special army units to find him. Determined to
cheat his enemies, he resolved to commit suicide, and
ordered aides to burn his body beyond recognition
** ffittoawoke early on the morning of April 30 and
spoke with his private pilot, Hans Baur, who reported
that he had prepared a plane capable of making a long-
distance flight. He suggested that Hitler flee to Argen-
tina, Japan, Greenland, Manchuria or Jerusalem,
where admirers were supposedly ready to spirit him to
a hideout in the Sahara.
Hitler declined the offer, and a few hours later
dictated his final testament to his secretary.
“During these last three decades, all my thoughts
and actions, and my entire life, have been moved solely
by the love and fidelity I feel for my people,” he said.
“This has given me the strength to make the most
difficult of decisions, the like of which no mortal has
ever made before."
After finishing his dictation. Hitler and his wife of
two days, Eva Braun, retired to their sitting room. At
3:30, a shot rang out. Artur Axmann, a leader of the
Hitler Youth, entered the room moments later.
“Adolf Hitler sat on the right side of the sofa,” Mr.
Axmann recalled in one of several interviews he has
given in recent weeks. “His upper body was leaning
slightly to the side, with the head slumping down. His
forehead and face were very white, and a trickle of
blood was flowing down.
“I saw Eva Braun next to Hitler on the sofa. Her
eyes were dosed. There was no movement. She had
poisoned herself, and appeared to be sleeping.”
Aides took the two bodies outside, doused them
with gasoline and burned them, continuing until they
had used about 50 gallons.
In recent interviews, retired Soviet intelligence offi-
cers have confirmed what they refused to confirm for
years: that they found and identified Hitler's remains.
One officer, Leonid Sioraonchuk, who later rose to
the rank of general in the KGB, told German inter-
viewers that he was present when Hitler's dentist was
ordered to examine the corpse.
“At the beginning he was a bit shocked, unable to
speak,” General Sioraonchuk recalled. “Then he said,
‘Hitler is dead.' ”
A document just obtained from long-closed archives
in Moscow includes a Soviet order that Hitler's re-
mains be burned and that the ashes be dumped in the
Elbe River.
A pan of what may be Hiller's skull with bullet
hole, was removed before the cremation and shipped
to Moscow. Before German television cameras, a Rus-
sian archivist, Alzha Borkovich, recently unwrapped it
and held it in her hand.
“To tell you the truth.” she said, “my hand is
shaking."
only have security measures on
the border.”
Deputy Prime Minister Hik-
met Cetin said a few troops re-
mained in northern Iraq but did
not give details. But Mr. Gol-
han said later that although
some troops were “on the bor-
der,” essentially the soldiers
were all out.
The troops were sent into
northern Iraq to wipe out about
20 camps used by 2,800 rebels
for hit-and-run attacks in Tur-
key. The government pulled out
20,000 soldiers last week. Mr.
Golhan said that the second big
withdrawal occurred Wedne£
day.
The defense minister said
that Turkey had taken military
measures along the border. He
did not elaborate, but military
officials have said they planned
to build bases on the frontier to
block rebels from crossing.
Turkey also has been negoti-
ating with Iraqi Kurdish leaders
to establish authority over the
area and prevent Turkish guer-
rillas from setting up camps.
Turkey has come under in-
tense criticism from its Western
allies for the military operation.
Mr. Golhan denied reports
that the Kurdish rebels had
been redeploying since Turkish
troops have begun returning
home.
The guerrillas are fighting for
autonomy in southeastern Tur-
key. More than 15,000 people
have been killed in the conflict
since 1984.
BRIEFLY EUROPE
EU Head Chides Britain for Tone
LONDON — The president of the European Commission.
Jacques San ter, warned Britain about its attitude toward
Europe on Thursday and said EU members risked political
gridlock if they were too rigid in their demands.
Mr. Samer urged Britain to cooperate more with fellow EU
states. By being stubborn, he added, countries could hinder
their own aims.
“No member state can just expect to make hay in its
favorite areas and block everyone else in theirs, because that
leads to political gridlock." Mr. Samer said in a speech to the
local authority representing London's financial district.
“Since there are 15 member states in the European Union,
cooperating together is essential for progress."
London was making important contributions to Europe's
development he said. “But one thing that is not well under-
stood in the U.K..” he added, “is that your partners in the
European Union also have their legitimate political priori-
ties." (Reuters)
EU and Canadian Leaders to Talk
BRUSSELS — Jacques Santer, president of Lhe European
Commission, and Prime Minister Jean Chretien of Canada
will take time off faun the Victory in Europe celebrations in
Paris on Monday to try to heal their trans-Atlantic rift.
“They will meet for breakfast and will try during that
meeting to get cooperation between Canada and the Europe-
an Union back on (he rails." a commission spokesman said
Thursday.
Relations between the Canada and the Union hit bottom
earlier this year when the commission accused Ottawa of
piracy for detaining a Spanish trawler fishing for Greenland
halibut outside Canadian territorial waters.
Canada accused the Spanish of plundering the sea by using
illegal nets and failing to declare all fish caught.
Although the dispute has since been all but settled, the EU
trade commissioner. Sir Leon Briltan. stirred up the waters
a g ain this week by accusing the Canadians of having resorted
to “gunboat diplomacy” and warning that it would take some
time for European tempers to cool.
Following reports of Sir Leon's remarks. Mr. Chretien
canceled a planned meeting between the two men. ( Reuters i
Program Sent $100 Billion to East
BRUSSELS — The European Union said Thursday that
the key Western program to convert East European countries
to market economies Tunneled SI 00 billion in aid to 12
nations from 1990 and 1994.
Of this, the European Commission said in a report. 30
percent took the form of grants.
The EU and its member states accounted for 45 percent of
technical and other assistance aimed at helping Eastern Eu-
rope shed its communist ways.
“The most significant donor country overall is Germany,
having committed more than 11.3 billion European currency
units," or SI 5.2 billion, the EU executive body's report said,
“immediately followed by the United Stales."
The report highlighted aid and grants provided by 24
Western nations to a dozen East European nations. (AP)
U.K.-Sinn Fein Dialogue on Track
LONDON — Prime Minister John Major said Thursday
that talks between a British minis ter and officials of Sinn Fein
would probably go ahead next week despite a near-riot that
disrupted his visit to Northern Ireland.
“I shall be considering over the weekend whether the
exploratory dialogue can go ahead." Mr. Major told Parlia-
menL “1 shall probably decide that it should do so because I
wish Sinn Fein to become a fully democratic and peaceful
party playing a part in full negotiations."
Mr. Major spoke minutes after Gerry Adams, president of
the political wing of the Irish Republican Army, said of the
disturbances. “I want to dismiss the notion that this could in
any way constitute an obstacle to the peace process."
Mr. Major was forced to postpone a visit to Londonderry
on Wednesday when Sinn Fein demonstrators clashed with
police in some of the worst violence in the British-ruled
province since rival guerrillas announced cease-fires.
The incident, the prime minister said, had shown Sinn Fein
had a long way to go before it was a normal political party.
“In two hours yesterday, they destroyed the image they
have been seeking to build' up for months." he said.
Mr. Adams declined to comply with Mr. Major's demand
for an apology for the disturbance and blamed the predomi-
nantly Protestant police for the trouble.
“British ministers coming to ray country need to be mindful
that they are in Ireland and that they are in a new situation."
he said. (Reuters)

Russia a Good Partner?
Andrei Kozyrev, the foreign rainisier,
solicits America's understanding of the
new Russia's erratic quest for post-Com-
munist identity. It is his way of winning
more time and space for democratic de-
velopment aad a greater acceptance of a
foreign policy that is increasingly at
cross-purposes with America's. But pa-
tience is ebbing in Washington — not
terminally, not yet anyway, but to a point
encouraging the impatient to announce
the failure of Russian-Axnerican coopera-
tion and the onset of, in Boris Yeltsin's
cautionary phrase, a "cold peace.**
There is a sense in which deep histori-
cal and cultural currents are shaping
Russia's politics and policy, in which
case the United States may just have to
forfeit its more ambitious post-Cold
War hopes. But the stresses in the rela-
tionship should not be casually endowed
with deterministic origins. The problem
is that Moscow has made some bum
choices. It should be encouraged to repair
them. This is the task before President
Bill Clinton as he beads to Moscow for a
50th anniversary celebration of the Al-
lies’ victory in World War II on May 9.
Take Chechnya, a disaster for Russia
in every dimension. Boris Yeltsin has
declared a three-week cease-fire — and
rivilianized the May observances — to
accommodate his guests. But three weeks
is a joke. Mr. Clinton needs to convey the
utter unacceptability of the Russian
army’s assault on unoffending civilians.
The cease-fire should be made perma-
nent, and a negotiating framework that
affirms Russian sovereignty and local au-
tonomy should be put in place.
Other issues hover. Mr. Clinton ought
to be ready to explain to Mr. Yeltsin that
measured NATO expansion promises
Russia a stabler Europe, not a new con-
frontation. Mr. Yeltsin, if he cannot meet
and ease American fears that the sale of
nuclear reactors to Iran will quicken its
quest for a bomb, should look elsewhere
— inviting American help — for compen-
sation. His claim for a larger role obliges
him to show that his Bosnia policy
reaches beyond partisanship for one side.
These issues arise in Moscow hi an
unforgiving political context where na-
tionalist and Communist elements pull at
the flanks and a straitened Boris Yeltsin
struggles to build a working center. They
are hard cases for Mr. Yeltsin, but they
afford him the opportunity to demon-
strate that the new Russia is, as be insists,
a good partner for the United States.

Croatia Out on a Limb
Croatia’s president, Franjo Tudjman.
is playing a dangerous game of talk and
tight. His brief military offensive across
united Nations tines tins week quickly
achieved its objective; recapturing a nar-
row slice of territory along a key highway.
Serbian forces responded by raining
rockets tipped with anti-personnel war-
heads on central Zagreb, kilting six peo-
ple and injuring hundreds. On Wednesday
the United Nations brokered a cease-fire
agreement, but fighting continued on
Thursday. Croatia refuses to withdraw its
forces from the newly recaptured territory.
Mr. Tudjman’s military gamesmanship
carries big risks. His newly strengthened
army might be able to win limited local
engagements against isolated Serbian mi-
litias, but Croatia would suffer grievously
if escalating conflict led to renewed war
against regular Serbian troops.
The way to defuse this crisis is for
Croatian forces to withdraw from the
contested western Slavonia enclave and
for remaining Serbian forces there to turn
their heavy weapons, as they were
in
supposed to do three years ago.
Mr. Tudjman is trying to mow that he
has not written off the 30 percent of
Croatian territory seized by rebel Serbs
when Croatia declared its independence
in 1991. After 10,000 people were killed
in fighting that year, former Secretary of
State Cyrus Vance arranged a peace that
called for UN peacekeepers to disarm the
Serbian-held enclaves while a political
settlement was worked out. There is still
no political settlement, and the cease-fire
lines have taken on the appearance of
permanent, UN -patrolled borders.
Earlier this year, Mr. Tridjman threat-
ened to expel UN forces so that he would
be free to move against the territories
militarily. American diplomats warned
him that military adventurism would
damage his hopes for improved ties with
the West and could lead to a wider war
in the Balkans. In March the Croatian
leader agreed to extend the UN mandate
in exchange for modest changes in its
size, name and mission.
By his actions this week, Mr. Tudjman
has violated the spirit of that deal He
should immediately withdraw his forces
from western Slavonia and unambigu-
ously commit hims elf to resolve the larger
issues by diplomatic, not military, means.

So Go Ahead and Reform
"Three times as many lobbyists are in
the streets and corridors of Washington
as were here 20 years ago,” Bill Clinton
declared in his State of the Union address
last January. "The American people look
at their capital, and they see a city where
the weti-connected and the well-protect-
ed can work the system, but the interests
of ordinary citizens are often left out."
“The first duty of our generation is to
re-establish integrity and a bond of hones-
ty in the political process," said Newt
Gingrich in 1990. “We must punish
wrongdoers in politics and government
and pass reform laws to dean up the
election and lobbying systems."
Gosh — if they agree, why has so little
happened in this Congress on behalf of
political reform?
In the grand days of January, Con-
gress took a step forward with a bill
requiring the House and Senate to live
under many of the same labor and safety
laws that apply to the rest of the coun-
try. But the major items that might
change the system, such as lobbying re-
form and new laws regulating campaign
fund-raising and spending, have been,
well, less than top priorities for either
the new Congress or the president
Congress put on a big show over that
crowd-pleasing issue, term limits. But a
Congress intent on taking steps to restore
public confidence does not have to resort
to chan gin g the constitution. Simpler mea-
sures are available. Simplest of all would
be a ban on the various sorts of gifts that
lobbyists and others can now give, perfect-
ly legally, to members of Congress.
The rules covering members erf Con-
gress. who write the laws, are much looser
than those in the executive branch, which
enforces them. It would not take great
legislative creativity to write a good bill.
A fine proposal nearly passed Congress
last year. It would ban all personal gifts
from lobbyists and most gifts from non-
lobbyists, including those famous “chari-
ty" golf and tennis tournaments through
which interest groups can essentially give
members of Congress and their families
free vacations. A variant of the bill was
introduced as an amendment in the Sen-

B ONN — May 8. 1945, is observed by
the world as a day of liberation. For
Germany, this date signifies liberation
from the terror of the profoundly ev3

The genocide committed against the
Jewish people by that cruel and dictatori-
al regime was without precedent
After 1945, the Germans were granted
the chance to build up the most demo-

Because this egoism begins in the

struggle together to draw the right les-
sons from history, from the dark chapters
but also from those that give us hope.

cured only by following a genuinely co-

inopportune. Senate Majority Leader
Robert Dole said he would bring the

A gift ban would not change every-

for reforming the campaign spending

and would be a potent way for members
of Congress to back up their reprated
professions that they want to get rid of
business as usual in Washington, shake

In the last Congress, controlled by
Democrats, President Clinton failed to
speak out forcefully for political reform
until it was too late. He had pledged,
beginning with that State of the Union
speech, to fight hard for reform this time
around. We are waiting. With the admin-

lobbyists are involved in writing legisla-

think the reform issue would be a natural

Hypocrisy in die Caucasus

in Chechnya is, according to official Mos-
cow, re-establishing lawful order. This ac-
tivity will now apparently be interrupted
for a few days, so that die resulting noise
doesn’t excessively disturb Moscow's cele-
bration of the victory over fascism. This
cynicism knows no boundaries. But be-
yond the lines official Moscow has drawn

of cities and towns; the truth of massacres
and ethnic persecution; the truth that with

man is a “noble savage,” and that
evil thoughts and deeds are the
result of pollution by civilization.
At tbe end of the 20th century,
we know better, or we ought to. It
is tolerance that has to be taught,
as the headlines remind us every
day — from Bosnia, from Chech-
nya, from Rwanda, from Oklaho-
ma City, from Tokyo’s subway,
from the series of 50th anniversa-
ry commemorations of the end of
organized Nazi atrocities.
As William Golding expostu-
lated in “Lord of the Flies,” “in-
nocent” children can be outra-
or real provocation.
Bigotry can come easily to peo-
ple uncertain of their own identi-
ty, to be defined by rejecting “the
other." It offers a sense of belong-
ing in the dominant, or woold-be
dominant, group, by sharing a
hatred of outsiders. It offers pro-
tection, by automatically mark-
ing friend and foe beforehand, in
tbe many parts of the worid ac-
customed over long centuries to
anticipate war, not peace.
The recognition that tolerance
cannot be taken for granted and
that prejudice, persecution and
hatred cannot be considered just
jynilift T aberrations from Human
nature underlies the United Na-
tions decision to proclaim this
year, its 50th anniversary, the
Year of Tolerance. Unesco is
seeking to promote the teaching
of tolerance.
rrvdring behind the headlines,
it is evident that there is some-
thing in the idea that wanton vio-
lence expressing intolerance isn’t
all that spontaneous. History
does offer a nourishing soil, and
there is scarcely a human group,
whether national, eihniR, reli-
gious or whatever, which cannot
find grounds for grievance some-
where in the past
But that is always selective his-
tory, selected to be lethal by ig-
noring all tbe parts of reasonable
coexistence, of mutual support. It

lence, deliberately exploited by
the few as a means of achieving
and consolidating power. It isn't
irresistible, but it takes deliberate,
conscious will to resist.

dent in the town of Billings, :
where there is a concentration of
extreme right-wingers, after at-
tacks on two Jewish homes. The
people of the town rallied in de-
moostrative support of their Jew-
ish and black fellow citizens.
“And tbe «iri*h«ute fled," Mr.
Baucns wrote. “We roust all make
hate mongers unwelcome in our
towns and communities.”
He is right Hate cannot be
outlawed when it stops at speech,
but it can and must be roamed
and shouted down.
There are natural instincts avail-
able to help teach tolerance, par-
ticularly to cfafidrcn. They are cari-
osity, die appeal of variety, the
adventure erf learning: Nobody
likes to fed that he or she is being
used for someone dad’s selfish pur-
pose, so exposing the power me-
chanics behind the appeals for in-
tolerance can be an antidote.
What do we mean by tolerance?
Basically, it is haling, tf there is to
be bote, not for who you are but
for what you do. It does not mean
that anything goes, but rather that
sacred is as sacred does.
“Multi culturalism,” in. .the
American campus jargon for re-
jecting established values, can be
intolerant, too, with its claim for

The Middle East Will Be Greatly Missed

■ Two weeks after the Oklaho-

who are “Middle Eastern in ap-

There must be a letter to the
editor that follows his appear-
ance in every city that reads
like this one: “1 only wish that

as he travels around the United
States telling his war story, “In

tie, he is as intellectually intense
today as when he ran Ford Mo-
tor Company, or the World
Bank, or the Defense Depart-
ment. There is something coura-
geous in this performance, fac-
ing conflict, day after day, when
be could be sitting on ms deck
on Martha’s Vineyard.
And there is something chill-
ing. And there is something
stunningly, stubbornly sad.
For many of those who lived
through the Vietnam War and
the Vietnam era, “Mr. Secre-
Uuy,” as he is still called, has
written a one-sentence book:
“We were wrong, terribly
wrong." These people ask him
at each stop for things he can-
not give them back: their hus-
bands, their buddies, their in-
nocence. He in turn offers
something many will not ac-
cept: the Lessons of Vietnam,
neatly parsed, rigidly analyzed.
“Please read the appendix,”
he asks one audience, promising
that he will refund the whole
price of the book to anyone who
reads the appendix about the
dangers of nuclear war.
“No one has asked me about
the 11 lessons," he says plain-
tively at another gathering. “The
lessons are what’s so important."
He returns again and again to
“the 11 lessons" that he wrested
like some think tank alchemist
from the horrible waste of Viet-
nam. They are laid out as the
crowning achievement of his
book, as a peace offering to the
future for his part in the “mis-
take" called Vietnam.
One moment, the McNamara
of “McNamara’s War” is defen-
sive, idling a vet to “shut up."
The next moment he is contrite,
telling a widow that he is "more
than sorry," he is “horrified.”
Asked how he feds about the
tough response to his book, ht
delivers a Woodless explanation
in two parts and three subparts.
Asked a g ain, he checks off emo-
tions saying, “The short answer
to how I fed is sad, shocked,
hurt,” and moves on.
Yet twice in my presence he

isan, tbe widow of a pro-
tester who burned himself to

words thanking him for writing
the bode. It’s a letter he carries
around like a papal pardon.
There has never been an
event quite like this. The tour,
like the book, is an act erf pen-
ance and an act erf egotism, a
conflict that seems to escape its
author. As he moves from city
to city, he trips all tbe oM land
mines left behind.
Editorialists debate whether
and when he should have said
what. Reviewers talk about,
mistakes and morals. But what
is painful is not just the memo-
ries of war be evokes but tbe
flashbacks of the armchair
warriers, tbe horrific limita-
tions of the generation of men
who led America into that war.
Listen to one of those lessons
Bob McNamara points to with
pride and urgency. Lesson 10:
“We failed to recognize that in
international affairs, as in other
aspects of life, there may be
problems for which there are
no immediate solutions ... At
times, we may have to live with
an imperfect, untidy worid.”
This is what he didn’t know
at 45? At 55?
As a young man, Mr. McNa-
mara fell in love with numbers,
with what he calls the prerise
language of quantification. To
this day and on every page he
writes as the still-proud prob-
lem solver who once got it
wrong but has now finally fig-
ured it out, solved tbe problem.
And thinks we should listen.
In tbe end, we are r emin ded
of the other lesson of Vietnam.

came to the University of Michi-

would take time off from the dan-
ger zone and leave the unsettled
dust of the Israeli- Palestinian
conflict behind me for a while.
Ann Arbor, a charming town,
seemed the perfect refuge.
And now I leam that Michi gan

strums a kind of terrifying Leba-

had foolishly thought was the
most peaceful place on earth.
In mart, I fed totally taken in.
Hie media retracted their ini-

for short memory spans, have
been backing away from their
early reports. It is so longer Mid-

One cannot hdp but think,
, that all parties concerned
have been better off if it
had been a Middle Eastern terror-
ist act. AH the self-appointed ex-

would have recycled their argu-

that Muslims are the world’s
only fanatic extremists and their
true post-Cold War enemies.
Words have come home to
roost; bloody, violent, terrifying
words. Home has become an un-

nition and buried under the rab-
ble. The Middle East will be
greatly missed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Stay Away From Moscow
President Bill Clinton has accept-
ed the invitation of President Boris
Yeltsin to go to Moscow next week
to honor the memory of those who
participated in the victory over Na-
zism and fascism 50 years ago.
1 do not suppose that an appeal
to him, even on behalf of the nu-
merous civilian victims in Chech-
nya, will change his mind. I must,
however, urge him at least to take a
strong and unambiguous stand for
the promotion and defense of hu-
man rights for all, when he meets
with President Yeltsin, and to insist
on concrete and immediate actions
to end the hu man rights abuses
against innocent civilians, includ-
ing women and children.
I make this appeal on behalf of
the many who fought and died for
freedom 50 years ago; the several
million victims of “ethnic cleansing”
who perished in concentration
camps in Europe; and also for our
children and future generations.
We must not let the words “Never
again” lose their meaning.

The same Western leaders and

Oklahoma: Not Surprising
What did we Americans expect
would happen when we elected pol-
iticians who expressed contempt
for the institutions they used on
their ascent to power? What did we
think was going to happen when
many in the majority party cam-
paigned for unfettered gun owner-
ship? Did we bother to think that
some people might take these
crumby little cynics seriously and
blow up babies, or establish miUtia
to protect themselves from big gov-
ernment, which the Gramms. Gin-
griches and others had warned
them about? We stood by while
these same politicians were instru-
mental in provoking the despera-
tion fell by many Americans, and
Lhen supplied them with guns with
which to express their discontent.
Bob Dole said in another context.
“Shame is a powerful weapon.” But
it is he and his cynical soul mates,
along with those of us who elected
them, who should be experiencing
shame right now.

on what is and isn’t good. Lentil re-
cently, for example, those inclined to
indolence were advised that just a bit
of mild exercise would benefit their
health. That was the word just
months ago from a 20-member panel
of experts convened bv the Centers
for Disease Control and the Ameri-
can College of Sports Medicine.
Regrettably, the good news was
short-lived. Last month, doctors
conducting a major study of exercise
and longevity reported ’that a little
does not go a long way. They said
that a lot of vigorous exercise —
jogging or walking briskly for at
least 1 5 miles (25 kilometers) a week
— is required to reduce the risk of
death. The New York Times quoted
a co-author of the study. Dr. Ralph
Paffenbarger of Stanford Universi-
ty, as saying that “even the scientists
are confused."
The conflict between die two
health advisories is partially ex-
plainable: The first study reported
better health from mild exercise,
while the second dealt with staving
off death. But in 1986. the same Dr.
Paffenbarger, according to The
Times, reported that “moderate
physical exercise can significantly
increase life expectancy.”
These turnabouts in health advice
could be interpreted as a sign of ad-
vancement in scientific knowledge.
But many such reversals fall more in
the category of one batch of igno-
rance replacing another, or glimmers
of understanding being misrepresent-
ed as solid scientific knowledge.
Consider fat. Though universally
deplored as an enemy of health, it is
an essentia] ingredient of nutritional
well-being. Fat, however, has been
converted into a public enemy. Rare
is the food label that does not pro-
claim “low fat” or “no fat.” even on
products that never contained fat
For years, Americans have been ad-
vised to cut fat consumption to no
more than 30 percent of their caloric
intake. That is hard to do.
Now comes shocking news. The
latest finding about fat is that getting
down to 30 percent, as difficult as
that is, will do you no good. The
proper level for avoiding ill effects is
said to be no more than 10 percent —
nearly impossible to attain.
Sad to say, but science does not
have all the answers.
The prudent citizen is best ad-
vised to be moderate in matters of
health and to remember that all
claims in this business are subject to
change — and probably will change,
drastically, in short order.

EMERSON:
The Mind on Fire

Reviewed by
Michael Dirda
R OBERT D. Richardson
Jr.'s new critical biography,
"Emerson: The Miwl on Fire,”
is one of those exciting books
that flash boh s of lightning
across an entire intellectual era
and up and down modem his-
tory'. Earlier in this century
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-
1882) had been reduced, by
some, to little more than an ad-
vocate of aggressive optimism,
and his doctrine of “self-re-
liance” distorted into an apol-
ogy for go-getting American
Babbitry — “Hitch your wagon
to a star.” But more recently
Emerson's essays and example
have again been recognized far
their decisive influence cm much
of .America’s literature, philos-
ophy and religious thought.
Following the approach
adopted for his award-wmnmg
study of Thoreau, Richardson
focuses an the shaping forces in
Emerson's life: the family he
loved, the friends he admired
and argued with and, above all,
the bodes . that he eagerly
skimmed and then carefully
studied. Nothing Of importance
to American thinkers in the first
half of the 19th century escaped
Emerson’s attention: He read
and reread Plato. 17th-century
divines, Persian pc^ts, Goethe,
theories of scientific classifi-
cation, guides to the cultivation
of fruit trees. “Leaves of
Grass,” abolitionist tracts, Hin-
du epics and every kind of bi-
ography and history.
Through all these influences
Richardson carefully traces the
growth of a fearless speculative
mind as Emerson progresses
from Harvard student to Uni-
tarian minister to transcendental
philosopher, gradually achiev-
ing renown as an essayist and
Lyceum lecturer (some 1,500
talks in four decades) and ul-
timately concluding his life as
the national sage.
As has long been recognized,
Emerson’s genius as a prose
writer is aphoristic, gnomic. IBs
essays loosely link sentences of

• Vincent QnareDo, of the
USIA Foreign Press Center in
Washington, is reading “The
Southern Tradition” by Eugene
D. Genovese.
“Here is a lifelong Marxist
who now examines how strong
individualism and the deep sus-
picion of the centralized state
c omming led with racism to cre-
ate the Southern tradition we
know today.”
( Lawrence Malkin, IHT)
cross-indexed). To read any of
bis better-known essays is like
reading “Hamlet”: The pages
crackle with “quotations.”
“We are always getting ready to
live, but never living.
... A foolish consistency is the
hobgoblin of little minds.'' Even
Emerson’s poems proffer a trea-
sury of the familiar: “Things are
in the saddle. / And ride
mankind.” “Here once the em-
battled farmers stood / And fired
the shot heard round the
world.”
Nor should we overlook the
essayist’s Yankee shrewdness
and humor. “That which we call
sin in others is experiment for
us." “The louder he talked of
his honor, the faster we counted
our spoons.”
Emerson was a man all too
well acquainted with earthly
sorrows. His first wife, the beau-
tiful Ellen Tucker, died at 19
(fr o m tuberculosis). Of his four
brothers — Ralph Waldo was
thought to be among the least
promising of the Emerson boys
— one proved retarded, another
suffered a mental breakdown
while studying in Germany, and
the two most obviously gifted
died in their late twenties (also
from tuberculosis). Emerson
and his second wife.Lidian, dot-
ed on their son Waldo — until
the little boy caught scarlatina
and succumbed suddenly at age
5. Emerson's greatest intellec-
tual counterweight, Margaret
Fuller, with whom he carried on
a platonic affair that periodi-
cally threatened to get out of
hand, drowned on the ship
bringing her back from Italy.
About Robert Richardson’s
biography it is hard to be tem-
perate. He sets forth complex
matters — Neoplatonism.
Transcendentalism, Hegelian
thought — with conciseness
and a light touch: each chapter
is only five or six pages long.
He quotes frequently from his
subject, draws the occasional
analogy with contemporary
thinkers or writers (Eudora
Welty, Simone de Beauvoir).
Emily Dickinson once called
Emerson's “Representative
Men” “a little granite book
you can lean on.” Just so,
“Emerson: The Mind on Fire"
is a book you can lean on, return
to, live with. It can be dense, it
can be repetitive (at least three
times we are told that the
“Heimskringla” is the Home-
ric epic of the North), but it is
above all a book of impassioned
and humane scholarship.

*■ people who knew him before.
J during and after his military
‘ service from 1988 to the end of
1 1991 have begun to shape a
1 clearer picture of Mr. McVeigh,
* who by all accounts was ob-
sessed with guns, apparently
> disliked Mack people and em-
braced the solitude of his pillow
1 night after m'ghL
The interviews have also be-
' gun to Gil in crucial gaps in his
t ransf ormation from troubled
teenager to central figure in the
bombing — a descent into the
maelstrom that may have
hinged on an army career in
which he tried to be the perfect
soldier but saw his cherished
hope of becoming a Green Be-
ret shattered by psychological
tests. It was apparently a blow
so crushing that be quit the
army and went into a psychic
taflspin.
The interviews suggest that
Mr. McVeigh, never an outgo-
ing man, became increasingly
isolated in his three years and
seven months in the army, re-
treating into a spit-and-poKsh
persona that did not admit
nights away from the barracks
or close friendships,. even
though he was in a unit that
kept nearly all its personnel to-
gether from basic training
through discharge.
They also detail a strange and
uncommunicative personality
who gave dirty assignments to
black subordinates, who spoke
of blacks as inferior and used
the term “nigger” in unguarded
moments, who kept a dozen
guns hidden in his house and
car and cleaned and fired them
regularly, who subscribed to
survivalist magazines and other
far-right literature and often
seemed coldly robotic.
“He was real different,” said
Todd A. Regier, a Topeka,
Kansas, plumber who served
with Mr. McVeigh. “Kind of
cold. He wasn't enemies with
anyone. He was kind of almost
like a robot. He never had a
date when I knew him in the
army. I never saw him at a club.
I never saw him drinking. He
never had good friends. He was
a robot Everything was for a
purpose”
The interviews indicate that
Mr. McVeigh tried to be the
perfect soldier, working longer
and harder than anyone else,
winning quicker promotions,
even re-enhsting just before the
Gulf War, in which he killed
Iraqis as the gunner on a Brad-
ley fighting vehicle in the thick
of action at the Kuwaiti border.
Marion Cumutte, of Ceredo.
West Virginia, an infantryman
in Mr. McVeigh's vehicle, de-
scribed him as a supremely ded-
icated soldier.
“He played the military 24
hours a day, seven days a
week.” Mr. Cumutte said. “All
of us thought it was silly. When
they’d call for down time, we’d
rest, and he'd throw on a ruck-
sack and walk around the post
with it.”
Mr. McVeigh received a
Bronze Star, military officials
say, not for valor but for service
aboard his Bradley, which lay
down barrages of covering fire
to protect other units in some of
the heaviest ground fighting of
Operation Desert Storm.
It was his dream to join the
Special Forces, the elite Green
Berets, and he returned from
the war early for training. But
he left on the second day of a
21-day assessment period, and
military officials said that pre-
liminary psychologic. • screen-
ing had shown him to be unfit.
The death of this dream ap-
pears to have been a major
tinning point for a man who
had dedicated himself to the
service.
Apparently unable to face
the failure, be told of washing
out because of a leg injury, and
when a reduction-m-forces or-
der came down later in file year,
he took an early discharge —
evidently disillusioned with an
army that had been his refuge
and his future.
After the discharge on Dec.
31. 1991. he drifted from job to
job and state to state and
seemed to deteriorate mentally

and physically. People who met
him recall an increasingly un-
stable man who wavered be-
tween gloomy silences and a
hair-trigger temper, who lost so
much weight he seemed anor-
exic and who could follow am-
ple orders but could not handle
pressure or take independent
action.
Acquaintances say the
army’s place was gradually tak-
en in ius obsessive mind by a
growing belief — shared by
thousands in paramilitary
groups and by many opponents
of gun control across the coun-
try — that the federal govern-
ment was conspiring to disarm
and enslave the American peo-
ple and that patriots might have
to stop it using any means nec-
essary.

longed to any organized far-
right paramilitary or survivalist
groups, there is considerable ev-
idence that he sympathized
with and espoused their beliefs.
He voiced their ideas in con-
versations, he wrote letters ex-
pressing them, he read the
groups’ literature and attended
their meetings. And he lived,
worked and traded weapons in
areas where the groups enjoy
considerable support, accord-
ing to numerous interviews.
The interviews, with rela-
tives, comrades in arms, law-
enforcement officers and oth-
ers, were conducted by
reporters for The New York
Tunes who, in search of infor-
mation, have traveled to Okla-
homa, Kansas, Arizona, Michi-
gan and New York, plus
Alabama, California, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Maryland, Minnesota. Missou-
ri, Nevada, South Dakota, Tex-
as, West Virginia, Washington
and Wisconsin.
By early 1992, Mr. McVeigh
was writing letters to newspa-
pers, complaining of crime, tax-
es and political corruption, and
warning: “Do we have to shed
blood to reform the current sys-
tem? I hope it doesn't come to
that. But n might”
A year later, his anger found
a focus in the federal siege of
the Branch Davidian com-
pound near Waco, Texas, which
ended in Fiery death for the cult
leader, David Koresh, and
some 80 followers on April 19,
1993.
That date — which became a
symbol of federal tyranny to
far-right militia groups — fig-
ured in the Oklahoma City
bombing, investigators say. It
was the date Mr. McVeigh had
printed on a phony driver's li-
cense he used to rent the truck
that carried the explosives. And
the devastating blast was set off
on the second anniversary of
the deaths in Waco.
In the Buffalo, New York,
suburb where he was born in
1968 and grew up, people re-
membered that Tun McVeigh
seemed to undergo a change at
about the age of 16, afta his
mother, Mildred, divorced his
father, William, and moved to
Florida with one of the boy’s
two sisters.
Tim. who had been an outgo-
ing boy in childhood, turned
inward, becoming a quiet youth
who kept to himsdf . At school,
he stood apart from others. If
they were boisterous, he might
some on the periphery. If they
huddled to gossip, he would
hover with his veneer of interest
and his silent distrust
“1 don’t think he had any
really dose friends,” said Lynn
Bishop, a classmate. “It’s hard
to explain. He was always the
ooe just outside the crowd. If
five or 10 people were hanging
out be was always on the out-
side trying to fit in. No one
disliked him. No one ever
talked about him. I knew him,
but I didn’t know the faintest
thing about him."

istration regarded the proposed
dialogue between NATO and
Russia over the emerging Euro-
pean security architecture as
“the principal vehicle lo devel-
op our relationship.”
U.S. officials, meanwhile,
said the Russian government
had provided assurances that it
does not intend to go ahead
with the proposed sale of a gas
centrifuge plant to Iran that
would nave provided the Teh-
ran regime with a supply of en-
riched uranium that could be
used to make nuclear bombs.
Russian officials have indi-
cated, however, that the center-
piece of the nuclear deal — the
sale of two nuclear reactors —
is to proceed over U.S. objec-
tions.

AMERICAN
TOPICS
The Russian assurances on
the centrifuge plant are unlikely
to make much of an impression
on the Repubtican-dominated
Congress, many or whose mem-
bers accuse Mr. Clinton of be-
ing too conciliatory toward
Moscow.
In the letter to Mr. Clinton,
the Republican senators also
opposed any action to explicitly
address the question of the de-
ployment of regional defense
systems, known as theater mis-
sile defenses.
According to a draft that is
circulating among Republican
senators, the proposed state-
ment on the ABM Treaty
pledges that neither the United
States nor Russia will deploy
regional defenses against each
other's ballistic missiles.

The most striking case is that

a senior scientist at Nes Ziona,

Miss Kalish developed a

On Wednesday, American
officials said in Washington
that the Kremlin had provided
assurances that it did not intend
to proceed with a centrifuge
sale. But a senior American of-
ficial cautioned that Washing-
ton had not received an “iron-
clad” assurance from the
Kremlin about the centrifuge
plant and that until it did —
presumably at the May 9-10
summit meeting — the issue re-
mained a concern.
Andrew J. Pierre, an expert
on nonproliferation with the
Carnegie Endowment, said in
Moscow on Thursday that the
U.S. arguments about the light-
water reactors would be “mag-
nified tenfold” if Russia sold

But Mr. Pierre said the new
reports also “raise a question”
about whether Russia floated
the centrifuge sale simply to
have a concession to offer Mr.

Refugee Accord: Sign of U.S.-Cuba Shift?

WASHINGTON — The
Clinton administration’s new
policy on Cuban immigration,
the product of the highest level
of American -Cuban coopera-
tion in more than a decade,
could signal a new relationship
between the two countries.
The new immi g ration policy
announced Tuesday could be
followed by cooperation on
other areas of mutual interest,
like the fight a gains t narcotics
or environmental problems,
American officials said.
To handle this delicate sub-
ject, the administration secretly
sent Peter Tamoff, undersecre-
tary of state for political affairs,
to talk withRicardo Alarcdn de
Quesada, chairman of Cuba's
National Assembly. It was the

BANGALORE. India — Like thou-
sands of jobless people. S. D. Anand
came to India’s high-technology city of
dreams looking for" work. But instead of
a job, he found the Bangalore kidney-
bazaar. And Lhere. Mr. Anand said, doc-
tors stole his left kidney.
More than 400 villagers from nearby-
rural districts have filed into Bangalore
police stations in recent weeks to tel! of a
thriving racket in body pans that offi-
cials contend procures kidneys from the
poor to sell to the rich.
The sale of organs for transplantation
is legal in most pans of India, and more
than 4,000 transplants are conducted
each year. But demand has grown and.
until recently, there were no laws to regu-
late the trafficking in organs.
Some people, like Mr. Anand. said
unscrupulous middlemen lured them
into hospitals under false pretenses, only
to discover later that doctors bad cut out
a kidney. Others said they willingly sur-
rendered i kidney because they were
desperate for money, but that they were
paid only a fraction of the organ's worth
— sometimes as liule as SI 60.
The police said they were still investi-
gating the charges and could not yet say-
how many kidneys may have been re-
moved without the donors' consent.
“The victims are poor, illiterate, igno-
rant villagers from the countryside.” said
V. S. D' Souza, the Bangalore police in-
spector who is running the investigation.
“If these cases were brought in America,
the doctors would be sued for billions of
dollars. Here, people don’t know their
rights.”
The allegations that an organ racket is
being conducted in this modern city in
southern India has sparked an uproar in
the medical community.
The publicity surrounding the allega-
tions caused some doctors to slop doing
transplants, medical sources said. And
though Parliament passed a law to re-
strict kidney transplants, it has not been
enacted by many stales where the opera-
tions are common.
The unregulated sale of organs — cor-
neas are also in demand — has flour-
ished for decades in several developing
nations.
But in India, the rapid modernization
of medical technology, lax laws on trans-
plants. a large pool of poor donors and
more than 80,000 people a year who need
transplants have given birth to a fevered
trade, said medical and law enforcement
authorities.
In the United States, by contrast,
about 28,500 people seek kidney trans-
plants every year, a similar proportion of
the population as in India; but last year
about 10,600 transplants were per-
formed, compared with India’s 4,000.
Word of India's permissive laws and
eager donors has made hospitals in Ban-
galore, Bombay and Madras magnets for
Middle Eastern, European and South-
east Asian patients seeking organs.
Many doctors cater to affluent foreign-
ers who are attracted by the low cost of
having an operation in India or who
cannot obtain transplants because of
long waiting lists in their own countries,
medical authorities said.
“The organ trade should be stopped.”
said S amir an Nundy, a physician and
editor of the National Medical Journal
of India. “If India becomes a country
where it is easy and legal to buy and sell
organs, it’s barbaric. No civilized coun-
try should allow that."
In a country with no medical infra-
structure for preserving organs, few dial-
ysis machines, no program to collect and
stockpile organs from cadavers, and reli-
gious beliefs that generally discourage
such practices, doctors have turned to
the poor. That in turn has spawned rings
of middlemen who exploit the poor to
maintain the trade.
The police in Bangalore said they were
shocked at the abuses described bv peo-
ple who complained that they had been
taken advantage of by doctors. As a
result of their investigation, the police
drafted charges against one of the city’s
biggest hospitals, some of its most prom-
inent surgeons and one of the city’s most
active middlemen in the organ trade,
” i ne tragedy is that human organs are
being sold by deceitful means,” said the
police commissioner of Bangalore, T.
Srinivasuiu. “The more tragic angle is
that poverty is being exploited.”
The story of Mr. Anand — the 30-
year-old man in search of a job — was
similar to those told by others who con-
tend they were victimized. After several
fruitless days of job hunting, Mr. Anand
said, he was befriended by a gregarious
man standing next to him at a bus stop.
The man said he might be able to help
Mr. Anand get a job in Saudi Arabia — a
much sought-after destination because
of its high salaries.
Mr. Anand’s new friend told him he
would need a medical examination be-
fore he could be approved for a passport
for Saudi Arabia. Mr. Anand said he
checked into a hospital for tests. A few
days later, doctors said they had discov-
ered a tumor in his abdomen that re-
quired immediate surgery. Mr. Anand
said he consented to Lhe operation, and
did not discover that his kidney had been
removed until be visited another doctor
later because of pain.
“I was only thinking of making a lot of
money,” Mr. Anand sobbed. “My greed-
iness kept me believing all they said.
Now I curse myself.”
C. M. Tallur. a 33-year-old bank man-
ager in Bangalore who bought a woman’s
kidney 1 3 months ago, said the transac-
tion benefited both parties. He said he
paid about $7,100 for all medical ex-
penses, including about $1,125 paid di-
rectly to the donor.
“The woman got 35.000 rupees, which
she needed to pay back debts and cover
medical expenses for her husband." said
Mr. Tallur, who added that the payment
was the equivalent of nearly four years’
salary for the average Indian worker.
“We don’t support this system, but what
is the alternative?”

Australian Cuisine: Mix and Match
P ARIS — So. whar kind of food
would you expect to find at a place
called WooUoomooloo? If I told
you, Australian cuisine, you prob-
ably still wouldn't have a due as to what you
might be eating. Kangaroo meat, you say?
Not at all. Rather, at this new. spacious
restaurant not far from the Bastille, you’ll be
treated to a look at modem Australian cui-
sine, one chat draws from neighboring cul-
tures as well as that of ethnic groups that have
settled there, including Italian, Vietnamese
and Thai, with a nod to die nation’s British
ancestry. What’s more, it's one spot in town
chat you'll be treated to the entire panoply of
wonderful wines from Australian and New
Zealand, treasures rarely seen in France.
The food at WooUoomooloo (an abo-
riginal word of many meanings) is more
than gastronomically correct: Quite simply,
it reflects the unpretentious, generous spirit
of the Australians. Diners bent on finding a
unified cuisine here will do better to go
elsewhere, but if you're in the mood for
mixing and matching, skipping from spring

rolls to polenta to sticky pudding to apple
crumble, you’ll have a fine time indeed.
If it’s on the menu, sample the Viet-
namese spring rolls, delightfully fresh,
light, and filled with tender monels of
roast duck. The rolls can be dunked into a
chili dipping sauce, making for a perky,
wake-up- the-palate starter.
For a pleasantly modem touch on a great
classic, try their Caesar salad, a generous
tangle of greens seasoned with Parmesan,
anchovies, pancetta and a poached eg e, all
anchovies, pancetta and a poached egg, all
tossed with a garlic mayonnaise.
The waiter suggested that the best dish
on the menu that night was the Thai-style
duck leg with red curry sauce, and he sure
was right! Imagine a traditional French
confit of duck, bathed in an ultra-fiery
curry sauce, all soothed wich a fragrant
mound of jasmine rice.
Equally delicious — and served piping
hot from a large ceramic covered dish —
was the braised veal knuckle with preserved
lemons and lentils, a comforting stew that
hit the spot on a chilly spring evening.
Less successful were their forays into
Italy, with a merely acceptable version of
“rag” pasta with fresh tomato, red pepper.
and basil sauce, and a bizarre combination
of baked polenta with hummous. eggplant,
and rocket salad. The mix simply made my
palate ache with confusion.
The decor and service are bright and
spirited, and the lack of professionalism
among the staff is made up for with friend-
liness and tire welcoming, casual air.
Some great white from the wine list
includes New Zealand’s top Cloudy Bay
1994 sauvignon blanc at 250 francs (about
$50) and 1992 chardottnay (240 francs) as
well as Cullen's 1993 Margaret River
sauvignon blanc (200 francs). Treats
among the reds include two particularly
well-priced wines, Fenfolds’ Bin 128 easy-
drinking 1991 shiraz (150 francs) and Cape

Japan.
North of Manila is a place,
called by the locals Smokey
Mountain, which is known as
the worst slum in Asia. It is a
garbage dump and home to
some20,000 scavengers, many
of them children, who make a
living by sorting through the
refuse and selling the cans, bot-
tles, the plastic. In 1989, Shi-
nomiya, then a director of pro-
motional videos, visited the
place and witnessed what he
later said he imagined hell to
be. At the same time he saw the
children. “They were wonder-
ful. I sensed something I did not
understand but which I had
never felt with children in
Japan." For the next four years
he lived at Smokey Mountain
making this fine documentary
about the scavenging children.

industry and watch them

young Lisbon student and po-
liticaf activist named Monteiro

orably draws him out of his

ing him back into the vital and
tragic times in which they both
live. Based on the prize-win-

.Antonio Tabucchi, “Sostiene

wooden. Stefano Dionisi is

ly unconvincing as his “pas-

The decline began with glue-
sniffing and led to a labyrinth of
abasement, malicious mischief
and teenage ecstasy. It was de-
scribed in neon-bright detail by
an amazingly precocious Jim
Carroll, who at age 12 began
writing the journal entries that
would establish him as a baby
Burroughs. Those journals are
now the basis for a self-con-
sciously bleak film tracing Car-
roll’s evolution from ball-play-
ing parochial schoolboy to neo-
Beat poet. The latter pose
seems particularly out of place,
since the film has no poetry of
its own. Carroll wrote this un-
dergroued classic in the mid-
1960s, wryly reflecting the cul-
tural youthquake under way at
the time, and it was published in
book form in 1978, when the
author had also taken on a
downtown punk cachet. On
film, as directed by Scott
Kalvert with a hollow flashi-
ness that reflects his rock-video
background, this story loses its
temporal moorings and has no
special voice or style. What it
does have is Leonardo Di-
Caprio, an actor so raw and
disturbing that he’s worth fol-
lowing even on a nonstop
downhill slide. On film. “The
Basketball Diaries” has severe
sympathy problems that Carroll
never faced on the page. With-
out the writer’s fearless exu-
berance and his droll sense of
adventure, this material be-
comes a roll call of sordid
episodes and nasty pranks.

To piped-in Renaissance music, you

library. The museum boasts 4,000 works
on the Renaissance, humanism and the
Reformation, including 800 by Erasmus
himself. On the hall wall, Erasmus’s mar-
gin doodles are framed along with portraits
of the man himself. In his study downstairs
sits the desk at which he wrote letters.

The private museum is also showcase
for the van Buurens’s considerable art col-
lection, which dates from rite 15th through
the 20th centuries and features works by
Pieter Brueghel the Elder and Vincent van

States during World War EL
A CASTLE: A slight step back in time
and direction (rings us to the private par-
adise of a master of Art Nouveau.
Even with its ground level obscured by
construction boards, you need only look up
to pick out Victor Horta’s house on this
in a wall of undistinguished row-flowers. A
small entry of warm-colored glass, soaring
American ash and curvy brass fixtures
gives onto a majestic marble stairway —
and suddenly, you’re not in Kansas any-
more.
Horta, as quoted in the museum's cat-
alogue, once said, “A house should not
only reflect the way of life of the persons
within it but be a true portrayal of them.”
Of this house in particular, where die
architect lived far 10 years with his daugh-
ter and each of hi s two wives, he wrote in
bis memoirs: “ Why had I bad the feeling as
it neared completion that I was as happy as
I should ever be.”
The tight, space and air in Horta’s home
belie the 63-meter (2T-fbotj width of die
house. Landmgc^exK:o«to,s^iQ t (OBto mez-
zanine. In the radiant stairwell, all flour-
ishing tight metal, gold motifs and yellow
rays from the arched skyfi^H, you seem to
climb up and up and up, moo Art Nouveau
heaven.
Everything serviceable is hidden or
made beautiful, like fee concealed serving
hatch above fee fireplace. AJ1 fee furniture,
although not originally in this house, is
Hoita-designed. " Fanciful flemishes
abound, from bedstead to banister to floor
mosaics. Horta also bmh the house next
door for his studio; alas, most of it remains
closed for restoration.

cobblestone streets of the medieval town at
aDhpurs, eyes lighting on a carving or the
cornice along one of the innumerable
churches or surveying the valley from the
ramparts by moonlight. Raffish nests adorn
many of the city’s grandest towers, homes
to the winter colony of storks we admired
clattering above Avila.
Ciuzens of Madrid, living only 70 miles
Many European towns and dries take
inordinate pride in patches of crumbling
medieval masonry. But Avila's nearly in-
tact crenellated defenses measure 40 feet
<12 meters) in height and 1.5 miles in
circumference, half a mile longer longer
than the triple-ringed fortified city of Car-
cassonne.
_ Buflt as a second line of defense shortly
after Alfonso VI reconquered Toledo in
1085, these mighty ramparts offered pro-
tection to the northerners who were re-
populating the surrounding lands that had
been wrested from the Moors after nearly
four centuries of snuggle. Moorish pris-
oners helped construct the fortifications.

week the city resumes its provincial tran-
quillity.
Following the advice of Frances Parkin-
son Keyes’s insightful 1958 history of the
area * “The Land of Stones and Saints,” we
approached the city from the northwest, on
the Salamanca road across treeless bad-
lands.
From afar, Avila’s walls rose before us.
We pulled over at an outlook, and within
seconds our ima ginaHwic famished the

the site.
Entering the walled city between the
towers of the Puena de San Vicente, we
drove down streets lined with palacios
little altered since the 16th century.
Our 16-room hotel, for example, the
Hosterfa de Bracamonte, concerted in
1989, retains the aristocratic atmosphere of
its past, when it was the town house of
Governor Don Juan Teheran y Monjaraz.
The whitewashed walls and fireplace of
our room were as inviting as its view over
the late-Gothic apse of the Mosen Rubf
ChapeL The pretty four-poster was ample
compensation for a bathtub more suited for
dolls than human beings.
The nearby cathedral, at the top of the
ridge cat which the town is positioned, was
begun at the same time as the walls and is
built right into them, its triple row of bat-
tlements underlining Avila’s fortress vo-
cation. An austere exterior contrasts with
the cathedral's exuberant, bright interior,
much of it hewn from monied ocher and
iron-red sandstone.
The area behind the choir immediately
caught our fancy, and we found ourselves
reviewing the New Testament in alabaster
bas-reliefs — just as Juan Rodriguez and
Lucas Giraldo intended when, nearly five
centuries ago, they chiseled anxiety into
the expression of the Virgin fleeing into
Egypt. The walnut choir stalls illustrating
the Old Testament are equally fine ex”-
amples of Renaissance artistry. The re-
splendent gold-framed main altar is also a
collective work.
Construction of the cathedral stretched
into the 15th century, which explains the
early Gothic naves melding into a more
Romanesque apse with its double ambu-
latory circling behind the altar.
In the sacristy, an alabaster altarpiece of
the flagellation of Christ reaches up to a
graceful ribbed vault. An exquisitely
wrought silver monstrance represents the
treasure that was pouring in from the In-
dies.
We hastened to Avila's chief square to
warm ourselves at El Grande, an all-pur-
pose central caf£. At nearly 4.000 feet.
Avila can be bitter cold in winter, summers
are usually mild. Over coffee we watched
youngsters kick balls under the arcades:
they reminded us that Avila is not a mu-
seum but a vibrant city of nearly 50.000
thai even in Sl Teresa’s time spread well
beyond its walls. As capital of the province
of the same name, it has grown steadily, if
less beautifully, throughout the '80s.
We ducked into San Pedro to admire its
gilded Baroque high altar and stand in the
jewel-colored radiance of its Cistercian-
influenced rose window. Then we walked
up the street to visit the Convenio de San
Jose, familiarly called Las Madras, where,
in the face of considerable resistance. St.
Teresa opened her first reformed Carmelite
convent in 1562. She founded 16 others in
her lifetime.
T HOUGH one of the best-known
Catholic saints, St. Teresa too of-
ten is pigeonholed as a mystic,
perhaps obscuring her more hu-
man face. One of 12 children of an aris-
tocratic family. Teresa de Cepeda y Ahu-
mada was a bom organizer with an
unfailing sense of humor. Her abundant
gift for friendship may have deflecred the
attentions of the Inquisition, which the
reforms she introduced in her contempla-
tive religious foundations might have at-
tracted. Her friend and fellow Avilan St.
John of the Cross, however, was not spared
these attentions.
A gracious Renaissance building re-
placed San Jose's original mud and stone
convent in the early 17th century, but the
strict rule governing the lives of these
Carmelites has altered little. In the basic
stone chapel I was particularly drawn to the
statue of Catalina de Roys, one of the
convent's benefactors, touching in its sim-
plicity yet with each pleat in her ruff ren-
dered in alabaster.
The attached museum tidily displays
Teresian memorabilia, including the drum
and bells that the saint enjoyed playing; she
never lost her appetite for gaiety, frequent-
ly exclaiming. "God deliver me from
sullen saints!"
A good lunch at the hosteria and a quick
nap left us longing for a serious walk, so we
set off down the long hill for the sprawling
Monasterio de Santo Tomas, where the
focus is on Ferdinand and Isabella, from
1479 joint sovereigns of Aragon and
Castile. Bom not far from Avila, Isabella
had been educated there at the Convento de
Santa Ana. where she occasionally sought
refuge from the court's machinations.
When they conquered Granada in 1492. the
monarchs decided to build a summer res-
idence attached to the decade-old Domini-
can community at Santo Tomds.
Santo Tomds abounds in the "pearT or
bead stone motifs characteristic of Avila's
Gothic. Its single-naved church has an un-
usual main altar raised over an arch to bring
it to the height of the choir gallery. The
altarpiece by Pedro Berruguete features St.
Thomas Aquinas as well as vibrant images
of Saints John, Matthew. Jerome and Au-
gustine.
But the centerpiece of this airy space is
the tomb of Prince Don Juan. Ferdinand
and Isabella's only son. When he died in
1497. at age 19. his remains were trans-
ferred to Santo Tomds, while the kingdom
mourned for 40 days. The man who would
have ruled what was then the world’s great-
est empire is portrayed at peace, a slim
crown sitting lightly on his pageboy
locks.
Next door the first of Santo Tomds 's
celebrated cloisters, the Claustro del Novi-
ciado. appeared no less sober. Our steps
echoed over the stone flags as we ap-
proached the Gothic Claustro del Silencio,
but our clatter was suddenly hushed by the
clear vibratos of the "Ave Maria,” sung by
four young Castilians.
We stood transfixed, basking in the mu-
sic and the rosy light, picking out Fer-
dinand and Isabella s emblematic arrows
and yokes along the second-story
balustrade.
The final and grandest of the cloisters,
the Renaissance Claustro de los Reyes,
seemed overstated and institutional, and its
Oriental museum, in the royal apartments
around the cloister, forlorn.
But we recognized the enchantment of
the place when we gained access to the
church’s choir gallery by way of the Claus-
tro del Silencio and looked down at Prince
Don Juan's tomb.
An essential site for those interested in
St. Teresa is the Monasterio de la En-
camacidn. a 20-minute walk north of the
walled city. She spent a total of nearly 30
years in this Carmelite community. There
she conceived commonsense reforms de-
signed for nuns who had, as Keyes phrases
it, grown fond of their sweetmeats and of
their sweethearts.
We ate well. St. Teresa would have
approved. When one day a servant was
perplexed as she watched her enjoying a
generous helping of partridge, the saint was
said to have commented. "My child, there
is a time for penitence, but there is aiso a
time for partridges!"
Avila's partridges lived up to her praise,
just as its asparagus, trout and strawber-
ries.

Hoechst Gains a Big U.S. Foothold
By Brandon Mitchener
Inwmuuml H erald Tribune
FRANKFURT — Banking
on a brighter future in phar-
maceuticals, Hoechst AG on
Thursday put its seal on an
agreement to buy Marion
Merrell Dow Inc. from the
Dow Chemical Co. for $7.1
billion.
The purchase is the biggest
German acquisition in the
United States to date and
makes Hoechst the world's
third biggest drugmaker.
Hoechst joins other Euro-
pean companies taking ad-
vantage of the weak dollar to
acquire U.S. assets. Last year,
for example, the Swiss compa-
ny Roche Holding AG bought
Syntax Corp„ and Sanofi, a
subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine,
purchased Sterling Win-
throp’s prescription drug
business from Eastman Ko-
dak Co.
Marion is one of the IS
largest pharmaceuticals com-
panies in the United States.
Although not known for pro-
ducing breakthrough drugs, it
wlU give Hoechst a good foot-
hold in the UJS. market and
round out the German com-
pany’s global strategy, ana-
lysts said.
“Of the few companies that
came into consideration, Mar-
ion is the best fit,” Jflrgen
Dormann, Hoechst's chair-
man, said in announcing the
signing.
Admitting that Hoechst
had been unable to build a
strong enough position in the
Facing Suits , Dow Corning
May Seek Chapter 1 1 Shield
The .*Uw» luitii Prvs\
MIDLAND, Michigan — Dow Coming Corp. confirmed
Thursday it may seek Chapter 1 1 bankruptcy protection as it
tries to settle costly litigation over its silicone breast implants.
No decision has been made and Chapter 1 1 protection is
one of “various alternatives” being considered, .said John
Churchfield, chief financial officer for the joint venture be-
tween Dow Chemical Co. and Coming Inc.
Mr. Churchfield said Dow Coming has been dissatisfied
with the lack of progress toward resolving lawsuits outside a
54.25 billion settlement to be paid by several manufacturers.
Dow Coming;, once the leading maker of the implants, has
agreed to pay the largest share of that amount. S2 billion.
The company also is unhappy with the pace of negotiations
for reimbursement bv some of its insurance companies, he
said.
Lawsuits by thousands of women have alleged that silicone
and other breast implants caused health problems, including
pain, deformities and immune-system illnesses. Dow Cornina
□o longer sells implants.
U.S. market by itself. Mr.
Dormann said Marion would
give it much needed help in
distribution, regulatory ap-
proval and biotechnology re-
search.
“Never before has it been
so cheap for a German com-
pany to invest abroad.” said
Ralf Conen, a German equity
strategist for Salomon Broth-
ers International in Frankfurt.
While German companies
have steadily increased invest-
ments in Europe and the
United Slates over the past
few years, the dollar's 13 per-
cent drop against the mark so
far this year provides a partic-
ularly good reason to act.
Alexander Blaich, an in-
vestment analyst at Banque
Naiionale de Paris, said the
purchase of Marion gives
Hoechst a chance to save face
in the U.S. market after its last
investment, a controlling in-
terest in the generic drugmak-
er Copley Pharmaceutical
Inc., turned out to be both
“expensive and bad luck.”
Two of the company's drugs
were recently recalled, result-
ing in a substantial loss in
Hoechst’s U.S. pharmaceuti-
cals operations last year.
“Hoechst has a lot of home-
work left to do," said Mr.
Blaich, predicting that this
would be its last major acqui-
sition for some time.
“Now they have to digest
it," agreed Mr. Conen.
Marion is to be integrated
with Hoechst's other pharma-
ceutical operations under the
name Hoechst Marion Rous-
sel.
Hoechst’s move, which still
needs to be approved by regu-
latory authorities in the Unit-
ed States and Europe, follows
rival BASF AG’s recent pur-
chase of Bools Pharmaceuti-
cals of Britain and expression
of imeresi in acquiring the
chemicals division of Switzer-
land’s Sandoz AG. Bayer AG,
Germany's biggest drugmak-
er. recently reacquired the
rights to its name in the Unit-
ed States for the first lime
since World War II and
bought Schein Pharmaceuti-
cals. a big U.S. generic drugs
manufacturer.
Hoechst has said the pur-
chase of Marion Merrell Dow
will boost its pharmaceutical
sales by 50 percent. Last year,
it had a pharmaceutical sector
sales of 10.3 billion Deutsche
marks ($7.5 billion) and em-
ployed 33,500 workers. Mar-
ion had sales of 53.1 billion
and employed 8,000 people.
Sixty-six percent of its sales
came from North America
and 17 percent each from Eu-
rope and the Pacific basin. It
spent 5462 million on research
and development.

Japan Rejects Targets for U.S. Car Parts
O Jmemafiorad Hamid Tribuna
Compiled by Our Staff From Dispatches
WHISTLER, British Colum-
bia — Japan rejected U.S. de-
mands that it agree to voluntary
purchase targets for car parts to
resolve a trade dispute in the
auto sector, the Japanese vice
minister of international trade
and industry, Yo shihir o Saka-
moto, said Thursday.
“I am not going to accept
such a request.*' Mr. Sakamoto
said. “The Japanese side is try-
ing to get an agreement, but the
U.S. side still sticks to the so-
called voluntary plan.”
Meanwhile, a U.S. official

Thinking Ahead /Commentary
Japan’s 'Malaise’ May Hasten Change
By Reginald Dale
Jmcmahontd Herald Tribune
W ASHINGTON — Japan to-
day is an unhappy place.
Traumatized by the Kobe
earthquake; last month’s Sar-
nia nerve gas attack on the Tokyo sub-
way and toe relentless rise erf the yen,
Japan is lasing its self-co nfi dence and
the belief in its own myths.
In the aid, that may turn out to be a
good thing . There are signs that the
successive shocks are helping to punc-
ture the complacency that has held bade
much-needed economic and social
chang e.
This, broadly speaking, was the mes-
sage brought to America this week by
Yuriko Koike, assistant secretary general
of the New Frontier Party, the newly
formed main opposition grouping and a
leader of the movement for political re-
form.
The 42-year-old former TV anchor is a
good barometer erf the mood of toe youn-
ger, internationally minded generation
tha t is impatient for change in Japan.
She stands for just the kind of open, free
trading and more globally responsible
Japan that most Westerners would like
to see but which many doubt will emerge
in the foreseeable future.
One year ago, Ms. Koike was optimis-
tic that this new Japan was just around
the comer. She spoke confidently of an
imminent “Big Bang" that would dra-
matically transform the political land-
scape. Now she talks more somberly of a
Japanese “malaise” exacerbated by the
recent disasters.
“There is a huge contrast,” she says,
“between Japan today and the go-go
country of the late 1980s,” when Japan
was glorying in its economic success and
rashly snapping up prestige properties in
the United States. Now Japan is wracked
with insecurity.
Ms. Koike is, of course, partisan. She
readily admits that one of the reasons
Disasters such as the
Kobe earthquake have
given a severe jolt to
Japan's traditional passive
deference to authority.
why things looked better a year ago was
that she was then a vice minister in the
Hosakawa government, working for de-
regulation and economic reform. Now,
she says, the forces of status quo have
staged a comeback in the shape of the
Liberal Democrat/Socialist coalition led
by Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama.
The current government represents the
comfortable, old Japan — a cozy, highly
regulated society intent on keeping the
rest of the world at arm’s length.
Nevertheless, Ms. Koike remains con-
fident that economic, political and social
change is on the way, even if more slowly
«iian she once thought. “The cause of
reform is alive and well," she told a
meeting at the Economic Strategy Insti-
tute in Washington.
Like an increasing number of insight-
ful Japanese. Ms. Koike believes that
Japan must take urgent steps to foster
creativity and individual initiative —
characteristics in which it lags far behind
the United States — if it is to compete in
the global economy of the 21st century.
Those are the very qualities that are
likely to be encouraged by the govern-
ment’s inept handling of the earthquake
and its failure to protect the population
from terrorist attack, she argues.
The disasters have given a severe jolt
to Japan's traditional passive deference
to authority and to the tendency to rely
on government to solve every problem.
Economic hardship is working in the
same direction. Jobs are no longer guar-
anteed even for graduates of Japan’s best
universities and the high yen will make
matters worse. Young people will be
forced to question the values and the
uniformity of the traditional education
system, Ms. Koike says.
Promoting creativity and spontaneity
also means freeing corporations and in-
dividuals from excessive rules and regu-
lations and opening up the economy to
imports. Deregulation is the key.
Japan has good record of resolving its
crises, often under foreign pressure. This
time, Ms. Koike says, it must do so by
itself.
It won’t be easy. Bui a little less com-
placency will certainly help.
day on opening Japan's auto
and auto parts markets unless
Japan makes “drastic changes”
its negotiating stance.
The U,S.-Japan dispute on
cars has overshadowed a meet-
ing of Japanese, EU, U.S. and
Canadian trade officials, who
began talks Thursday on open-
ing international markets fur-
ther.
According to Japanese trade
officials, ministers representing
Canada and the European
Union criticized Washington’s
stance in talks with Japan.
In a meeting with the Ryu-
Laro Hasimoto, Japan's interna-
tional trade and industry minis-
ter, Leon Brittan, the European
Commission vice president,
said he "strongly opposed” U.S.
demands for Japanese auto
companies to increase procure-
ment of imported auto pans.
“Everybody is looking at the
auto talks,” an EU official said.
“They say they made a little bit
of progress but they still have a
long way to go.”
Mickey Kanior, the U.S.
trade representative, and Mr.
Hashimoto, the Japanese trade
minister, will meet Friday, and
autos will probably be dis-
cussed, Mr. Kantoris spokes-
woman said.
The U.S.-Japan auto talks are
seen as a crucial test of the two
countries' ability to resolve
trade differences, although the
two sides played down the pros-
pects for a deal at Whistler.
They hope at least to avoid es-
calating the dispute, which
would rattle world financial
markets and undermine the
group's campaign for freer
global trade.
Trade negotiators from the
two countries held talks on the
sidelines of the Whistler meet-
ings after failing to reach a deal
in Vancouver earlier in the week.
The main sticking point re-
mains a U.S. demand that Ja-
pan's automakers continue
“voluntary” purchase targets
for American-made parts.
The U.S. side also is demand-
ing that Japan expand the num-
ber of auto dealerships stocking
U.S. cars and relax inspection
regulations seen as impedi-
ments to the sale of U.S.-made
replacement pans to Japanese
repair shops.
“Opening Japanese markets
for autos and auto parts as well
as increased purchases by trans-
plants in the United States of
competitive parts is a serious
issue." Mr. Kantor said
Wednesday. "The United
States is focused on a meaning-
ful solution in all three areas of
concern.”
The U.S. side views this week
as the climatic showdown for its
arduous 20-month effort to ex-
pand sales opportunities for
U.S. companies as a way of re-
ducing America’s record trade
deficit with Japan.
U.S. auto industry executives
have also said toe United States
next week could threaten Japan
with sanctions if no progress is
made. _

hunmaiional Herald Tnhune
NEW YORK — Euphoria
engulfed the Treasury bond
market Thursday as investors
reacted to indications that the
U.S. economy was growing
slowly enough to keep inflation
in check, decreasing toe risk
that toe Federal Reserve Board
will need to raise interest rates
to slow growth.
The price of toe benchmark
30-year Treasury bond rose a
full point, to 105 21/32, push-
ing the yield down to 7.15 per-
cent from 724 percent. The
bond yield is now at its lowest
level in more than a year; it is
more than a full percentage
point below toe current cycle’s
high of 8.17 percent, set last
October.
The immediate catalyst was
Thursday’s government report
of a sharp rise in initial unem-
ployment claims, to 371,000
from 351,000 the week before.
Analysis said this report was
a sign that Friday’s release of
April employment statistics
would point to a sharp slow-
down in job creation.
Labor Department econo-
mists have warned that because
of an accident of toe calendar,
April has had five weeks during
toe past three years but this
year has only four, so seasonal
adjustments wall make employ-
ment growth look much slower
than the 250,000 new jobs re-
ported in previous months.
When economists at J. P.
Morgan & Co. predicted
Wednesday that Friday’s figures
would show no job growth at all.
bond buyers were unable to hold
back. They were also encouraged
by a sharp 9 percent drop in
automobile sales for April, a
continuing slowdown in the
growth of new factory orders,
and a second successive monthly
decline in toe economy’s leading
indicators.
Stock prices initially re-
sponded to toe bond market's
rise by climbing once again to a
new highs. But toe market later
ran out of steam, and the Dow
Jones industrial average fell
13.49 points, to 4,359.66.
Although a few money man-
agers said they thought toe
bond market was correctly
reading toe signals of a funda-
mental shift toward moderate
growth with low inflation, toe
dominant mood on Wall Street
was one of skepticism that toe
bond rally could last.
Most analysts said it repre-
sented only a short-term play
that would sooner or later burn
out on an unexpected statistic, a
stalled government bond auc-
tion, or a future report indicat-
ing that toe U.S. economy has
more — or less — strength in it
than toe current assessment.
“The market thinks we’ve
reached the promised land of a
soft landing,” said David Jones
of Aubrey G. Lanston & Co.,
using toe common expression
for toe Fed’s target of moderate
economic growth and low infla-
tion.
The Fed has never before
reached such a goal for very
long, although Mr. Jones said
chances were better this time

FCC’s Decisions Make
Mr. Murdoch Happy
Compiled by Our Surf} From Dispatches
WASHINGTON — Rupert Murdoch emerged a winner
Thursday in his battle with federal regulators to preserve a
Fox Television network that brought toe world “The Simp-
sons” and “Married With Children."
The Federal Communications Commission ruled that
News Corp., which is controlled by Mr. Murdoch, violates a
law limi ti ng foreign ownership of U.S. broadcast stations,
reversing a 1 985 ruling. But at the same time, toe agency said
toe company could seek a waiver that would allow it avoid a
costly corporate restructuring.
News Corp. has a 99 percent equity stake in Fox Broadcast-
ing Co. and critics have charged that is a blatant violation of
foreign ownership rules, even though Mr. Murdoch is a
naturalized U.S. citizen.
U.S. law generally restricts foreign companies from owning
more than 25 percent of a U.S. television license.
The FCC also said Mr. Murdoch had not misled federal
authorities in 1985.
If the FCC had ruled that Murdoch had misled authorities,
it could have revoked his TV licenses for Fox Broadcasting
“The bottom line is we're very happy about most of it,” Mr.
Murdoch said.
The FCC gave Australia-based News Corp. 45 days to
provide evidence that granting the waiver is in the public
interest.
Although toe FCC did not say whether it would grant the
waiver. Commissioner James Queho said he expected toe
agency to do so. That would be a first for a broadcasting
company, although it has granted waivers to foreign-own ed
telephone companies.

Dealing With Time Warner Turmoil Sigm °f a ^ Landtn ?
O iremcly attractive m a year or so
•trol
By Geraldine Fabrlkant
AVu- York Tima Service
NEW YORK — The promotion of Mi-
chael J. Fuchs to the top of oue of Time
Warner Inc.'s most lucrative businesses
signifies not only Mr. Fuchs’s ascendancy
in the corporate hierarchy but also indi-
cates a realization by Time Warner’s chair-
man. Gerald Levin, that he cannot afford
to ignore management problems.
Until now, Mr. Levin has seemed to deal
primarily with Time Warner's problems on
paper: restructuring debt buying cable
systems and selling assets. But when it
comes to running the corporation, he has
essentially let the company's powerful di-
vision heads run their own operations.
At the Warner Music Group, for exam-
ple, Mr. Levin allowed the chairman. Rob-
ert J. Morgado. to lake a series of steps that
alienated the management of Warner's
three record labels.
Unrest at Warner Music accelerated last
fall after Mr. Morgado forced out Mo
Oslin. one of the industry's most venerated
record executives.
Since then, the situation at the Warner
Music Group had become so chaotic that
Mr. Levin, who is under enormous pres-
sure to improve Time Warner's image with
investors, apparently felt he had little
choice but to act.
Executives close to Mr. Levin said
Wednesday that the 55-year-old chairman
had become exasperated with refereeina
the increasingly frequent fights between
Mr. Morgado and Doug Morris, chairman
of the group's Warner Music U.S.A. unit.
Mr. Levin also was reportedly con-
cerned because the music division was be-
coming polarized between the foreign divi-
sion, where there was still some lovalty to
Mr. Morgado, and the domestic operation,
where loyalty went to Mr. Morris.
So. while the music operation was con-
tinuing to perform well financially, Mr.
Levin worried that the infighting would
damage one of Time Warner's key assets in
the future. Time Warner’ s stock has been
languishing near S35 and large sharehold-
ers are increasingly unhappy.
The question new is whethe
i ether Mr Levin
let the turmoil continue so long at Warner
Music Group that even the arrival of Mr.
Fuchs, who is highly regarded is the enter-
tainment industry but inexperienced in the
music business, can calm the waters.
“Ail this could have been avoided if
Jerry bad bandied the situation with Mo
differently,” an industry executive said.
“Mo never wanted to leave Warner in the
first place.”
Wednesday. Mr. Levin said: “Despite
the performance of the music company,
things were not working. It was dear that
at the top. particularly at a music compa-
ny, someone who is talent-sensitive and
attuned to the creative community is the
right person.”

because of the lack of inflation
psychology and the absence of
the financial bubbles that burst
at the end of the 1980s. in real
estate and elsewhere. The cur-
rent danger, he said, was a fur-
ther collapse of the dollar with

no support from Japan, which
could' force the Fed to raise
rates sharply.
Foreign central banks had
been buying U.S. bonds in re-
uemety attractive m a year or so
as interest rates fall even lower,
but would also make stocks
look good. Mr. Soss explained:
“Companies can get away

despite record profits, and no
one did anything to stop them.

U.S. Will Scrap Leading Indicators
WASHINGTON (Knight-Ridden — The U.S. Commerce De-
partment said Thursday that it would stop issuing its monthly
index of leading economic indicators next year.
The index, first published in November 1968. is designed to
predict turning points in the business cycle. Bui many economists
have criticized its reliability in recent years.
A Commerce Department official said it did not make sense for
the government to continue spending money to produce an index
in which many of the components had already been released. _
N EW YORK — Tele-Communications
Inc., the country’s largest provider of cable
television service, has announced it is join-
ing with a leading venture-capital firm in
Silicon Valley to form a company that will
offer high-speed access to the Internet
computer network through existing cable
systems.
- The new company, to be called @home.
will be headed initially by William Ran-
dolph Hearst 3d, a principal in Kleiner
Perkins Caufield & Bvers. the venture-
capital firm, which is based in Menlo Park.
California.
Mr. Hearst joined the firm five months
ago after resigning as publisher of the San
Francisco Examiner, (he flagship newspa-
per of Hearst Corp., the media company
started by his grandfather.
Bruce Ravenel, senior rice president and
chief operating officer of TCI Technology

munications that is the majority investor in

begin in early 1996 in a handful of cities
and become a national service in two to
three years.
More than 60 million American house-
holds subscribe to cable television, and
more than 30 million households report
having personal computers. By connecting
the familiar black coaxial cables
to PCs as
well as television sets, @home hopes to
provide access to the Internet at speeds 100
times as fast as those used now.
The service would be provided to cable

lar. Bond specialists say this has
now stopped. The Japanese
central bank, in particular, has
stopped buying U.S. bonds in
response to criticism at home.
Robert Brusca of Nikko Se-
curities also found the bond ral-
ly fragile because traders were
“jumping on small indicators”
that would eventually signal a
resumption of growth that
could force a rise in interest
rates.
But Neal Soss of Soss & Cot-
ton. a money management firm,
said most of Wall Street was
missing the big picture: He said
die current business expansion
had lasted SO months with little
or no inflation “because work-
ers have been cowed and will
not press for higher wages even
in full employment.”
He said this descent from the
much higher inflation rales of
the early 1 980s was a worldwide
phenomenon of the present de-
cade. He predicted it would not

Agettce Fma-Presse
BRUSSELS — Moving to head off
high consumer prices and unfair compe-
tition, the European Commission or-
dered six of Europe’s biggest telephone
companies Thursday to divulge how
much they plan to charge for access to a
proposed European da ta-trans mission
network.
Karel Van Miert, the commissioner
for competition, ordered the move be-
cause of concern that the operators of the
proposed Global European Network, or
GEN, could use their dominant posi-
tions to prevent competitors from enter-
ing this potentially lucrative market
If Mr. Van Mien decides that the
prices envisaged for independent opera-
tors are a barrier to competition, he
could block the venture or seek to im-
pose a justified pricing structure.
“We acknowledge the strategic impor-
tance of this venture, but we have to be
certain that end-users get these services
at the best possible prices.*' a spokesman
for Mr. Van Miert said.
The case is seen as a key test of how
the commission is going to handle the
task of opening up toe European tele-
communications market, currently dom-
inated by state monopolies, to full com-
petition by 1998.
Under toe GEN agreement, British
Telecommunications PLC. Deutsche Te-
lekom AG, France Telecom, Sod eta Fin-
anziaria Telefonica of Italy and Telefon-
ica de Espana SA undertook to set up a
fiber-optic network between Frankfurt.
London, Madrid, Milan and Paris in a
bid to capitalize on tbe lucrative data-
transmission market between those cit-
ies, notably in financial services.
Operators from Belgium, the Nether-
lands. and Switzerland have joined the
project since toe European Commission
started examining it in January 1994.
Thursday's request for information
follows a study by the commission,
which found that independent providers
of data-transmission services will face
access charges between five and ten
times as high as those applied between
toe companies themselves.
The commission also is concerned
about the competition implications of
the current situation, in which data-
transmission services have been liberal-
ized within the EU but the provision of
telephone infrastructures has not.
This means that, in most EU coun-
tries, independent companies seeking to
establish a rival network to the GEN
would not be able to provide toe neces-
sary lines and switches themselves.
Swissair Signs Agreement With Sabena
Roam
BRUSSELS — The Belgian
state airline Sabena and Swis-
sair signed a pact Thursday to
inject badly needed funds Into
Sabena and create the fourtb-
largest airline in Europe.
The deal gives Swissair a 493
percent stake in Sabena and a
foothold in the European
Union market, but the two car-
riers plan to retain separate
identities and management.
Under the deal, Swissair will
invest 6 billion Belgian francs
($2 10 million) in Sabena as part
of a 10 billion franc capital in-
jection. The company afro will
lend Belgium 4 bmion francs to
pay back Air France for its mi-
nority stake in Sabena, the air-
lines said.
Swissair also will receive war-
rants allowing it to increase its
Sabena stake sometime after
2000 .
The European Commission
still has to approve the deal but
officials said they did not ex-
pect any problems.
Otto LSpfe, Swissair’s chief
executive, said the two airlines
would benefit from working to-
gether.
Flight plans would be “opti-
malized,*' members of frequent-
flyer programs could benefit
from a larger network and sales
or ganiza tions could be man-
aged together.
In toe longer term, toe two
fleets would be combined to cut
costs, he said. Similar synergy is
possible for hotels, catering and
computers, he added, without
giving details.
Despite its financial prob-
lems, Sabena has attracted sev-
eral suitors in recent years be-
cause of its central position in
Europe and its strategy of creat-
ing a European hub in Brussels.

■ Gloomy Ondook Bite Severing
. Share prices in Sphering AG fell
Thursday, a day after the drugmaker
reported a 9 percent drop in first-quarter
profit and staled back its fun-year earn-
ings forecast, news agencies reported
from Frankfurt.
Sobering shares closed at 924.70 Deut-
sche marks ($672), down from 999.00
DM on Wednesday.
Sobering profit stood at 113 million
DM in tbe first quarter, down from 124
milli on in the year-ago period.
Analysts said they were surprised how
sharply the strong mark had pared first-
quarter profit and that the company pre-
sented a far gloomier outlook for toe
year.
The drugmaker took a much greater
hit on the currencies than initially ex-
pected, and this forced many people to
seriously re-evaluate and subsequently
downgrade the group, a London analyst
said. (Bloomberg Reuters)

with Air France in 1992 did not
fare well.
Sabena posted a consolidated
loss of 1 2 billion Belgian francs
in 1994, while Swissair made a
net profit of 23 million Swiss
francs (S20.3 million).
Analysts generally welcomed
toe alliance.
“Swissair realized they would
have trouble surviving outside
Europe. They have apparently
solved this particular issue with
this deal,** said Robert Macotta
of Barclays de Zoele Wedd.
Swissair is about twice Sa-
bena’s size, carrying 8.4 million
passengers in 1994, compared
with Sabena’s 4.3 million.

pretax profit to 456 milli on kroner ($73.6 million) from 302
million kroner in the same period a year ago.
“All business units developed positively in the first quarter,”
toe company said. Stock in Hafslund finished 5 kroner higher, at
140 kroner.

millio n kroner. Sales rose 45 percent, to 2.44 billion kroner from

million kroner from 23 million kroner.
In February, the drug and energy company said 1994 pretax

ing business offset an increase in sales.

million kroner from 366 million kroner. For the Nycomed phar-
maceuticals division, operating profit rose to 136 million kroner
from 128 million kroner. The company said operating profit at its

Gonzla trill prevent Yugoslav
troops from taking the cities and

. slavla claims Italy should lose
1 Trieste and Gonna, as well as
i Flume, because of having bees as
Axis partner. The three cities have
| been a source of friction between
: the Slavs and Italians for hundreds
i of years.
Statement by Tito
Marshal Tito, of Yugoslavia,
issued a statement saying that New
Zealand troops occupied Trieste
after its liberation by Yugoslav
forces “without our permisalop."
It warned that die occupation
"might have undesirable conse-
quences unless the matter is settled
promptly by mutual agreement,"
The statement, constituting a
challenge to the Allied high com-
mand for a showdown decision on
whether Yugoslav or Allied uroop3
shaQ occupy Trieste, declared tnat
the matter might involve she AUi*d
armies In a repetition of the
"Greek tragedy.” This referred to
the fighting between the British
and Greek rebel forces in Athens
last winter.
Marshal Tito's statement supple-
mented an announcement last ;
night by the Yugoslav press de-
partment. saying that Trieste and
Gorlzta "could not have been oc-
cupied by the New Zealand division
as both these tonus were won after
a hard and bloody struggle. . - Both
towns were completely cleared of
the enemy by our forces as far back
as April 13."
Italians in Demonstration
Indicative of the strong feeling
among Italians about Trieste's fu-
ture is the fact that an estimated
20.000 Italians staged a two-and-
one-half-hour brawl in Piazza Venl-
zia today, resulting in the injury of
fit tv persons, two seriously. The
demonstrators included three groups
—students favoring Italian Trieste.
Communists opposing the students i
and opposing monarchy, and Ita-
lian ex -servicemen sympathizing
with the students.
The demonstration was dis-
persed by American and British
military police- No Italian police
were in the Piazza Venizia. but they
guarded Viminale and Quin male
palaces, where Premier Bonoini and
Prince Umberto have their respec-
tive offices. Two other street
clashes between students and Yugo-
slav sympathizers rook place yester-
day.

British Seek Compromise
The American proposal to permit
revision at treaties to allow for
"peaceful change of conditions in.

Molotov. The British are believed
to be seeking a compromise but
leaning toward the American view.
Just before tbe mid-day session
ended, a messenger brought a copy
of General Dwight D. Elsenhower's
surrender communique. The other
delegates were assembled in eight
committee meetings.
The "Big Four" scheduled a

In any event, it is reported that

TBE LAST ST Also o/ the Germans in Europe it shown before the surrender in Denmark
vat announced. Forcing: of the Brenner Pats linked the Italian and German /ronfa.
By John O’Reilly
Special to the European Edition
SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, Allied Expeditionary Force, May 4. — General Dwight
D. Eisenhower,, Supreme Allied Commander, announced tonight thkt M ou land, sea and in
the air the Germans are thoroughly whipped.**
His statement came at the end of a momentous day of wholesale surrender of Ger-
man forces on the Continent. Fighting had stopped in all but a few scattered bits of
territory and, in those, capitulations were being effected one after another.
In the north, the enemy armies in Northwestern Germany, Denmark, Holland and
the Frisian Islands, comprising well over half a million troops, surrendered today to toe
British 2d Army. In toe south, troops of General Alexander VL Patch’s 7th Army pushed
through toe snowdrifts of toe Brenner Pass into Italy and linked up with General
Clark's American 5th Army. In between, German divisions were surrendering In quick suc-
cession. More than a million German soldiers have thrown down their arms in the last
three days.
Tonight an Europe awaited the proclam ation announcing the end of toe war. Although
be did not actually make such a proclamation. General Eisenhower said toe German
forces had “disintegrated” and announced that any further fighting was due “to their own
stupidity or that of toe German government**
There remain only approximately 150,000 Ge rm a ns In Norway and a few scattered
and unimportant pockets on the Continent. Reliable reports tonight from Sweden disclosed
that negotiations have been going on and that the G erma n farces in Norway also are on
the verge of capitulation. Swedish reports indicate that the Germans in Norway, fearing
the reprisals of a surrender to the Norwegians, are ready to march over toe border and
give themselves up to the Swedes. No official announcement has been made here but it
is evident that the surrender in Norway is imminent.

MILAN. May 4.— Negotiations for
the reorganisation of the Italian
government will begin in a lew days,
when live members of die Com-
mittee of National Liberation of
Alta Italia are to go to Rome to
present North Italy’s demands to
Premier Ivanoe Bonomi. it was re-
vealed yesterday by Riccanto Lom-
bardi. prefect of Milan Province.
Signor Lombardi said that the
Bonomi government would be re-
quired to hold elections for a
national constituent assembly with-
in six months to redraw the Italian
constitution, and meanwhile anti-
Fa seises of North, Italy would expec:
representation in the present gov-
ernment.
He explained that arrangements
lor electing the const iturent as-
sembly will be controlled largely by
local committees of national libera-
tion which wiii draw up eiectouj
lists substantially according to
existing -Iullon law but excluding
Fascists. He ndded that Italy’s
present fundamenial law provides
no lesal means of altering the
consrnuUon. Izoplymg that both
committees and rhe constituted as-
sembly will be acting by the right
of revolution and unhampered by
existing laws.
Signor Lombardi, who is forty-
four. was appointed prefect by the
C.N.L-A-L. which is the central
revolutionary body coordinating
rhe activities of local committees
; throughout North Italy. He has
fought Fascism since 2910. pub-
lished underground newspapers, and
was arrested and tortured by the
Fascists in U>3tJ. He Is now oc-
cupying a key position in Italian
politics and is working in Musso-
lini's old office.

LG Makes a Bet
On Parlor Games
SEOUL — A company trying to prepare South Koreans for
the age of interactive home entertainment has started off
simply — with a video-game parlor.
But it says the success of -3DO Plaza," located just off one
of Seoul’s busiest streets, bodes well for its image of the on-
line 21 st-century family: a cozy gathering clustered around a
living room entertainment complex where movies and televi-
sion programs can be chosen from a menu at the touch of a
button, a wide range of goods and services can be onjered and
paid for without leaving one’s armchair, and where — of
course — video games can be played for hours.
The philosophy of LG Electronics Inc. is simple. Once
people are hooked in the parlors, they will not be able to resist
bringing the same entertainment into their own homes with its
on-lme television services.
“TV will prompt a big change in the way people enjoy life.”
said Kwon Y oung Soo, chief of LG Electronics’ compact HfcV
read-only memory business unit. “It will become the means
for people to find diverse on-line services.”
LG Electronics, a unit of South Korea's LG Business
Group, holds a 3.04 percent stake in 3 DO Co., the American
video-game machine maker backed by heavyweights such as
AT&T Corp. and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. 3 DO is
seeking to develop a competitively priced game machine that
would surpass the speed and power of the fastest personal
computers. LG and 3 DO have been cooperating in the devel-
opment of video-game software and hardware.
“I have found the most successful commercialization of
interactive technology to be video-game machines,” Mr.
Kwon said. U I believe our experience in this sector will help us
take a lead in future competition with rival appliance mak-
ers,” such as Nintendo Co. and Sega Enterprises Ltd. of
Japan. Hence LG's derision to invest in video parlors.
LG opened its first 3DO Plaza, which it said attracted
about 200 customers per day. in December on Seoul’s Tae-
hakno, or University Street. It plans to open scores more bv
the end of the year.
Each plaza is to have 10 to 15 sets of LG's version of the
3 DO Multiplayer linked to a huge color screen and head-
phones. Each offers several dozen video games. The charge
for customers is 5,000 won ($6.56) an hour.
“At first we simply thought that games rooms would help
promote our video-game machines.” Mr. Kwon said. “But
now I see that the game-room business itself makes money.”
LG is one of South Korea's three largest general-electronics
manufacturers. It posted a net profit of 104.64 billion won in
1994 on sales of 125 trillion won. The company said it
planned to invest 40 billion won in the 3 DO business this
year, including 16 billion won in software development.
LG exported 20,000 game machines to the United States
last year and has said it hopes to ship about 300,000 machines
in 1995, which would represent about 20 percent of annual
U.S. demand.

In Historic Move, Taiwan
Sets Ship links to China
m Room
TAIPEI — Taiwan’s cabinet, in a fgndmarfr derision,
approved an Thursday a detailed plan under which shipping
links between Taiwan and Qrina will be permitted for the first
time since 1949.
“The cabinet m eeting this morning passed the offshore
transshipment center p an.” sad J ason Ho, a government
spokesman. TSepfiuna effective immediately. be said.
“The plan shows oar sincerity and practicality,” Mr. Hu
quoted Prime Minister Lien. Chan as saying.
Shipping companies can start to apply from May 8 to run
ships to China under the program, according to the Commu-
nications Mhnstiy, which will be in charge of the operation.
Officials said the move ineans that foreim-re^stered. Tai-
wanese-owned ships, previously banned by Taipei from enter-
ing mainland parts, would be able to sail directly from
Taiwan’s harbors to China provided their voyage originated
in a foreign part.
Hanoi Abruptly Cuts Rice Exports
The Astodaled Pros
HANOI — Vietnam, the
world’s third-Iargest rice ex-
porter, has damaged its interna-
tional credibility by abrupdy
r est ri ct in g rice exports by 40
percent, traders said Thursday.
The restrictions, which be-
came effective in late April, ap-
ply to new sales contracts as
well as to those already signed.
“Doing the rice business in
Vietnam is like playing rou-
lette,” said Steve Footer, director
of the French trading company
Recofi Vietnam. “The credibility
of Vietnam as a rice exporter is
seriously undermined now.”
The government has prevent-
ed both Vietnamese and foreign
suppliers from exporting rice
until it allocates a new export
quota for May of 150,000 tons,
100,000 tons less than what it
had announced earlier.
Hanoi has offered no official
explanation for the restrictions,
which it announced in a low-
key letter to traders rather than
as a public decree.
Traders said the govern-
ment’s concern about sharply
higher rice prices probably led
it to clamp down on exports in
the hope of keeping enough rice
in the country to relieve infla-
tionary pressure. Grain prices
in northern Vietnam last month
were up more than 70 percent
from April 1994, according to
official statistics.
Several Vietnamese agencies.
including the ministries of trade
and agriculture, will meet Mon-
day to decide bow much rice
each trader can export, said Mi-
chael Breese, general manager
in Vietnam for the Belgian com-
pany Sucre Export SA.
The April restrictions came
barely four months after Hanoi
ended a ban on rice exports
after heavy flooding in the Me-
kong River region, the nation’s
biggest rice-growing area.
Vietnamese leaders have spo-
ken often in recent weeks of the
need to curb illegal rice exports
to China, where grain fetches
higher prices, as a way to con-
trol domestic supplies and in-
flation. Many of the exporters
reported to be selling illegally to
China are state-nm companies.
Shougang
Executives
Sentenced
Compiled by Our Staff Fran j Dispatches
BEIJING — Two executives
from subsidiaries of China’s
largest steelmaker, Shougang
Corp., have been sentenced to
death for economic crimes, offi-
cial sources said Thursday.
Shao Jun. director of 'Shou-
gang Shipping Co., was given a
suspended death sentence in
January by a Beijing court, ac-
cording to sources at the Metal-
lurgical Ministry. He was ac-
cused of accepting bribes.
Yang Liyu. assistant deputy
general manager of the Beijing
Iron & Steel Co. of Shougang!
also received a suspended death
sentence for allegedly accepting
bribes. Zhao Dongxiang, depu-
ty general manager of the same
company, was sentenced to 10
years in prison.
Shougang Corp., one of Chi-
na’s largest companies, was
chosen by the senior leader
Deng Xiaoping as a model for
his Tree-market economic re-
forms launched in the 1980s.
The chief of the company’s
Hong Kong operations. Zhou
Beifang, was arrested in Febru-
ary for “serious economic
crimes.” His father, Zhou
Guanwu, the chairman of
Shougang Corp.. resigned
shortly after his son’s arrest He
was replaced by Bi Qun, a vice
minister at the Metallurgical
Ministry.
Shougang Concord Grand
(Group) and Hoi Sing Holdings
Ltd„ meanwhile, denied a press
report that Deng Zhifang, the
son of Mr. Deng and director of
both companies, had been ques-
tioned about alleged economic
crimes in Beijing.
“The directors of Shougang
Grand and Hoi Sing have been
informed by Deng Zhifang that
such reporting was untrue," the
companies said.
Several Hong Kong newspa-
pers published a report Thurs-
day from United Press Interna-
tional that said Deng Zhif ang
had been questioned.

South Asians Pledge Free-Trade Zone
Agence France-Presse
NEW DELHI — A three-day summit of
Southern Asian leaders ended here Thursday
with a pledge to implement a landmark agree-
ment on borderless trade among the seven
countries.
The members of the South Asian Associa-
tion for Regional Cooperation, in a joint
declaration, also called for a combined battle
against terrorism and demanded the elimina-
tion of nuclear weapons.
Bangladesh, Bhutan, India. Maldives. Ne-
pal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka urged developed
countries to refrain from erecting trade barn- >j
ers and asked other regional groupings to I
establish links with the “poor man's club" of
their organization.
They called for major steps to reduce pov-
erty in the region of more than 12 billion
people, to improve housing and to step up
literacy campaigns.
The leaders pledged to activate a plan to
lower regional tariff barriers on specified
products by the end of the year, paving the
way for a South Asian free trade zone.

Phillies’ Loss Gets Reds Out of a Rut scoreboard
The Associated Press
The Cincinnati Reds will not
go 0-144 this season.
They bad matched their
worst start this century by los-
ing their first six games, but
avoided worse with a 7-2 vic-
tory over the Philadelphia Phil-
lies on Wednesday night-
Ron Gam hit a home run in
the fourth for a 1-1 tie. then
drove in two runs with a two-
out jin gl e in the seventh to put
the Reds ahead for good at 3-1.
Tm going to sleep easy to-
night 1 don't have to toss and
turn," said Gant playing his first
since taking two cortisone
shots in his sore right knee.
The Reds blew it open with a
four-run eighth, in which Barry
Larkin hit a two-run triple.
Cardinals 8. Pirates 6: Allen
Watson, the St. Louis pitcher,
drove in two runs as the host
Cardinals took an $-1 lead.

seventh, which made it 10-0.

Blue Jays’ Alomar Slugs
Hapless Chisox Again
The Associated Press
If the Chicago White Sox
learned anything while losing
six of their first seven games, it
was that you can’t throw a
“purpose" pitch to Roberto
Alomar in a close game in the
ninth inning.
Alomar hit two homers
Wednesday night, and connect-
ed in the ninth inning for the
second consecutive game, to set
the stage for two rookies to star
in the 10th as the Toronto Blue
Jays beat the White Sox, 8-7.

pitches. Alomar homered over
the wall in right-center.
On Tuesday night, he gave
the Blue Jays a 9-8 victory with
a homer one pitch after reliever
Isidro Marquez knocked him
down with a fastball.
“They’re not trying to hit
me," Alomar said, ^ey’re just
throwing the ball a little bit too
inside, and it’s waking me up."
In the bottom of the 10th,
Tomas Perez singled borne the
winning run in his first major-
league at-bat, giving Paul Men-
hart his first major-league vic-
tory after pitching a scoreless
top of the inning.

singjed and went to second on a
sacrifice.

nia trailed by 7-4 after six in-
nings, but forced extra innings

monds won it with an RBI an-
gle in the 10th.

seventh and Tony Phillips tied
the game in the eighth with on
RBI single after sinking out his
previous three times up.
Phillips’s one-out single and
Spike Owen’s ground-rule dou-
home run. Girardi, who had the
winning hit in the 11th inning
of Tuesday’s 6-5 victory over
the Padres, also drove in runs
with an infield hit and a two-
run angle.
Braves 6, Martins 4: Atlanta

The Giants rallied for two
runs in the bottom of the inning
on Barry Bonds’s fourth hit of
the game, but Todd Worrell got
the final two outs for his first
save.
Beck hadn’t blown a save
since Aug. 15, 1993. He came
on after Glen alien Hill gave the
Giants a 4-3 lead with an
eighth-inning homer — and the
Giants had won their last 167
games when leading after eight
innings, a streak that dated to
July 1992.
Offerman also had a two-run
double, and Matt Williams
drove in three runs for San
Francisco, two on his second
homer of the season.

bie set up Edmonds’s hit that
ended the 4-hour. 14-minute
game. The crowd was just
22.864 at Anaheim Stadium.
Yankees 4, Red Sox 3: New
York failed to score after hav-
ing two on and no outs in the
eighth and the bases loaded and
one out in the 10th before win-
ning in the 13th on Bemie Wil-
liams's sacrifice fly with the
bases loaded and no outs.
Williams's fly bail was
dropped by Boston left fielder
Mike Greenwell, but it was
deep enough to have scored
pinch-runner Gerald Williams
anyway. Greenwell threw to
third for a force-out, but a spe-
cial line in the rule book al-
lowed the sacrifice fly to stand.
Twins 10, Royals 9: Minneso-
ta had its second straight crowd
under 10.000 for the first time
since 1986, but rallied from a 7-
I deficit against Kansas City to
end a four-game losing streak.
Alex Cote’s RBI double in
the eighth inning broke a 9-9 tie
after Chuck Knoblauch tripled.
Rookie Marty Cordova, who
came into the game hitting . 150.
was 3-for-4 with his first homer
and double, driving in three
runs for the Twins.
Indians 14, Tigers 7: Paul
Sorrento had a three-run homer
and a career-best six RBIs as
Cleveland routed pitching-poor
Detroit for the second straight
day.
The Indians have scored 57
runs in six games: the Tigers
have been outscored, 53-26, in
seven games.
Sorrento's RBIs came on a
double, a three-run homer and
a sacrifice fly. He has six hits
this season — four homers and
two doubles.
Brewers 7, Orioles 4: Mil-
waukee, leading the Central Di-
vision with a 6- 1 record, scored
six runs in the ninth off Balti-
more’s embattled relief coips,
whose combined ERA is 9.51.
The Orioles, who sold out 46
of their previous 47 home
games, drew 33,837, the second-

smallest crowd in the four-year
hisrory of Camden Yards. The
smallest previous crowd at the
Stadium was 22^64 at an April
1 993 -makeup game.
Tr ailing 4-1, the Brewers got
an RBI single from Turner
Ward and a two-run single by
Joe Oliver to tie. Pat Listach
followed with a run-scoring
grounder that was fumbled by
second baseman Bret Barberie.
That chased reliever Doug
Jones. Brad Pennington then is-
sued a walk to load the bases,
and Mike Oquist forced in a run
by walking Kevin Seitzer. Greg
Vaughn followed with a sacri-
fice fly to make it 7-4.
Mariners 5, Rangers 1: Seat-
tle unproved to 6-1, matching
the franchise’s best record after
seven games, by the 1984 and
1985 teams, by sweeping the
three-game series in Texas, now
1-12 in its last 13 against Seat-
tie.
Edgar Martinez hit a two-run
double as Seattle scored four
runs in the first off Roger Pav-
lik, whose ERA in the first in-
ning over the last two seasons is
20.05.
A crowd of 17,375, smallest
in the two-year history of The
Ballpark at Arlington, watched
the game.

Leading by 2-1 against the

the best-bf-5 series Friday n r ’

“Maybe there’s a lepre-

there, said Nick Anderson, who

“but we have magic.”
With Boston ahead, 77-74,
Anderson sank a 3-pointer with

NHL HIGHLIGHTS
Boat Switch Has Conner’s Crew Playing Catch - Up
By Barbara Lloyd
New York Times Service
SAN DIEGO — If ewer there
was a need for Dennis Conner’s
team to practice before an
America’s Cup match, it’s this
time around, the decision last
weekend to swap Stars &
Stripes for Young America —
which Cotoner considers a faster
boat ■ — has presented a whole
new set of dynamics for the de-
fense team before Saturday’s
start of the finals a ga ins t Team
New Zealand.
Jim Brady, Connor’s naviga-
tor, ha^ hit his head twice on
Young America’s slightly lower
boom.
Greg Prussia, the bowman,
has to be careful not to step off
the edge of .the boat; Young
America's foredeck, it turns
out, is noticeably narrower than
that of Stars & Stripes.
Wally Henry, the sewennan,
might stumble over Young
America’s below-dedcs struc-
tural grid. It’s his job to pull a
jib or a germaker through the
forward hatch, then stretch it
out below deck for packing.
Kfl Trenkle and Steve Erick-
son, the port and starboard tak-
ers, find that they have to listen
a bit more closely to the helms-
man now. Whether it’s Conner
or his alternate, Paul Cayard,
steering, the wheel on Young
America is farther aft than it is
on Stars & Stripes.
And the crewmen controlling
the boat’s spinnaker pole have
to shift now from the left to the
right side of the boat, where
Young America’s gear is.
“It’s like different choreogra-
phy,” Trenkle, who is also oper-
ations manager, said this week.
“But we’re talking subtleties
here. In the big picture, it’s as
easy tranation. We’re out here
every day now, trying to get
better, and malting sure all the
changes are second nature.”
The Stars & Stripes team
took over Young America last
Saturday despite opposition
from Team New Zealand. Since,
Conner’s crew has been practic-
ing with Young America's. The
on-water sessions have included
four hours of speed testing fol-
lowed by about two hours of
racing on short courses.
Stars & Stripes is now being
used as a trial horse with which
to test improvements. Besides
its boat and crew, the Young
America team is sharing its
technology, including computer
software, sailmaking innova-
tions and boat gear.
“We’re malting sure we’re
getting the most out of it with
two-boat testing," Trenkle said.
“We’re putting oar he a d s togeth-
er to make the boat go faster.
Where two plus two once
equaled four, now it equals five."
The technological compati-
bility is part of the reason Con-
ner chose Young America in-
ing own judgments. Since their
boat, Black Magic 1. has been
sail testing and fine-tuning
against an in-house trial horse
— Black Magic 2 — most of the
season, they see the Americans
stead of Bill Koch’s Mighty as having to plav catch-up.
Mary, the third defense boat. A aew of thaL
Some of the sails from Stars &
Stripes can be recut to fit. Bul
based on the expertise of North
Sails, an international linn used
by both teams, Conner is also
developing a new wardrobe of
sails for Young America.
Conner has yet to sail on
Young America.
“He’s been getting things set
up for this,” Trenkle said, “buy-
ing new sails and t a ki ng care of
other business. But Dennis is
the skipper, he’s the boss.”
And what of the new order in
the D ve-of -nin e-race America's
Cup defense? The New Zea-
landers are watching, and draw-

get to the heart of straight-line
racing fairly quickly." Alan Sef-
ton, a manager for Team New
Zealand, said about Conner’s
team. “But that boat needs to
tack and to jibe at its maximum
performance, and that will take
a lot longer to get right."
Likewise, Conner’s team has
its opinion of Black Magic.
“The odds of our winning are
greater with us all working to-
gether, testing together,” Tren-
kle said. “The combination is as
great as any gains we get in boat
speed.
“It all depends on how fast
the Kiwis are. If the difference
is one minute per race, this
won’t have mattered. But if it’s
a matter of seconds, we’ll be
glad to have done this. There is
nothing better than to be pre-
pared. We’re scared. It is a very
dominant team with a great
boat, a great crew and an awe-
some sail program."
ahead of third-place San Jose,
the Sharks were relieved that
they didn’t have to face the De-
troit Red Wings.
“Number one. you want to be
in the playoffs," said the
Sharks’ coach. Kevin Constan-
tine. “Number two. you want to
finish as high as you can. Num-
ber three. Detroit is the best
team in hockey."
The Sharks, who pulled off
the biggest upset of last season's
playoffs with a first-round de-
feat of Detroit, will open in Cal-
gary in one of six playoff games
on Sunday.
The Dallas Stars, who made
the playoffs when the Los An-
geles Kings were beaten in Chi-
cago, have the dubious distinc-
tion of opening against Detroit.
In other Western Conference
games on Sunday. Toronto plays
in Chicago and Vancouver in Sl

games will also be played that
day: Buffalo in Philadelphia
and New Jersey in Boston.
The playoffs open Saturday

champion New York Rangers
at Quebec and Washington in
Pittsburgh.

The Associated Press
The Detroit Red Wings and
Chicago Blackhawks were the
winners in major team achieve-
ments and Pittsburgh’s Jaromir
Jagr and Washington’s Peter
Bondra the individual winners
during the lockout-shortened
1994-95 NHL season.
The Red Wings, who had
wrapped up the President's
Trophy for the best record in
the NHL long ago, finished
with a 33-1 1-4 mark and three
points ahead of the Quebec
Nordiques (30-13-5). It was the
first time that Detroit had end-
ed with the best record in the
regular season since 1964-65.
The Blackhawks won the Jen-
nings Trophy for the fewest
goals allowed, giving up only
11 5 in 48 games.
Goaltender Ed Belfour was
the main reason, dropping his
goals-against average to a ca-
reer-low 228. He started 42
games, including the final 14 of
the regular season.
Jagr brought another NHL
scoring title to Pittsburgh, fin-
ishing with a flurry of four goals
and an assist in his last three
games to become the first Euro-
pean player to lead the NHL in
scoring. He and Philadelphia's
Eric Lmdros lied with 70 points
apiece in the 48-game season,
but Jagr led, 32-29, in goals.
The Penguins have won three
of the last four and five of the
last eight NHL scoring champi-
onships. Mario Lemieux. sitting
out this season for health rea-
sons, won in 1988. 1989, 1992
and 1993.
Stan Mikita, born in Czecho-
slovakia like Jagr, won four ti-
tles for Chicago, but he moved
to North America at an early
age and never played profes-
sionally in Europe.
Jagr had two near-miss scor-
ing attempts before setting up
Kevin Stevens's 15th goal of the
season at 18:05 of the first peri-
od of the last game. Jagr skated
only a couple of shifts in the
second period, but returned in
the third after the Penguins
blew a 2-0 lead.

N EW YORK — - Concraiy to
what you may have con-
J. x what you may have con-
cluded from television coverage
of Oklahoma City, violence has
always been perfectly at home
in the American “heartland.*'
There has been a lot of
malarkev about the innocence of
this “heartland.” proving per-
haps that a tyrannical two-coast
mentality has affected the media
brain. Or perhaps showing that
our formal news media have
been infected by tabloid jour-
nalism and talk radio with their
exhilarating contempt for fact.
My own hunch is less cosmic
in scope. 1 suspect a lot of the
newspeople were simply se-
duced out of their wits by the
word “heartland,” which they
have worked half to death since
the bombing,
A moment's hesitation in TV
news and you are dead in the
worldwide competition to
spread the word taster than a
speeding bullet. For a reporter
without a millisecond to dunk, a
word like “heartland” is a god-
send,
“Heartland.” It makes you
think of cocoa at bedtime ana of
quilting bees, and never mind
that you don't like cocoa and
don't know what a quilting bee
is and that, given your druthers,
you would probably pass up the
quilting bee and stay home to
waich "Homicide.”
suddenly, in its desperate need to
get the story out in a millisecond,
television has trapped itself in
romantic fiction.
Newspapers I read and
movies I saw when young al-
ways painted the American
heartland as the home office of
violence. John Dil Linger was
one of its more famous citi-
zens.
One of American literature’s
crime masterpieces, Truman
Capote's “In Cold Blood.” is a
true story of a Kansas family
murdered by two drifters. Its
horror rises partly from
Capote's power to evoke a
menacing loneliness in the
By Mike Zwerin

P ARIS — The singer Nancy Harrow
has written a song cycle based on a
menacing loneliness in the
prairie landscape and partly
from the same elements present
TV fellow says “heartland,”
you think of a' calm, dreamy
place where folks talk about
things like their druthers.
Maybe out there in that sweet-
smelling, ever-loving heartland,
the high school lad still buys his
date a chocolate malt on Sat-
urday night and settles for a
good-night peck at the door.
Once you say * ‘heartland” the
idea of Innocence follows with
leaden-footed inevitability, and
from the same elements present
in the bombing story: the in-
discriminate murder of inno-
cents, including children.
Is tt worth noting that Ok-
lahoma is next-door neighbor to
Texas, which would surely take
offense if its reputation for vi-
olence were besmirched by TV
poets praising its innocence?
All this territory was once
popular with the Comanche In-
dians. famous in film and bad
history for treating the white
man cruelly. Ian Frazier’s in-
dispensable book, ‘‘The Great
Plains.” says Coraanches, in
fact, killed relatively few
whites, except for Texans,
whom they seemed to despise
with a special passion.
Oklahoma itself of course
was bom in sorrow, its so-called
"Indian territory” being where
the government herded Indians
who obstructed the white man's
will. When it was found that a lot
of these Indians were sitting on
underground lakes of oil, they
had to be undone again, though
with more subtle violence.
Something awful was done
in Oklahoma City. No doubt of
that. It's a violent place, that
heartland. Always has been.
Don't let the television dumb us
down on that point.
A fcir York Times Service
JT has written a song cycle based on a
strong heroine in a major work of fic-
tion by a woman novelist. But pro-
ducing an album of songs based on the
Willa Carher novella “A Lost Lady”
attracted her for more than politically
correct reasons.
To begin with, she loved Cather's
Jamesian prose style, and she found the
story, about the railroad aristocracy
that opened the West, “very Amer-
ican.” The protagonist Marian For-
rester is optimistic and full of life and
refuses to be defeated by difficult cir-
cumstances. Marrying this tale to jazz,
another manifestation of American en-
ergy and optimism, seemed like a nat-
ural.
Interviewed on National Public Ra-
dio. Caiher's biographer Sharon
O'Brien confirmed the connection:
“As Cather matured as a writer, she
started to draw more on the uncon-
scious. Writing became more like a
journey for her. The images and the
characters she created would tell her
where to go next. There is a link be-
tween the way she wrote and jazz."
Cather ( 1 873-1947 ) was boro in Red
Goud, Nebraska, and attended the
University of Nebraska where she had
a reputation of being unconventional
(she wore her hair short for the time and
called herself William for awhile). She
became a journalist and an editor,
taught Latin and English in local high
schools and then began to write about
frontier life on the American plains.
She won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel
“One of Ours” in 1923, the same year
“A Lost Lady" was published. One
critic described her fiction as “a vic-
tory of mind over Nebraska.”
* ‘A Lost Lady 1 ’ is set in the fictional
town of Clearwater, Nebraska, at the
end of the 1 9th century. Forrester lives
in the house on the hill with her hus-
band, a rich retired railroad man. He
loses bis money, gets sick and dies. He
had a dream that by building railroads
he would help bulla a great nation, but
she had no dream of her awn.
The story is about how women sur-
vive on their own and Harrow can
Jazz musicians, the saying goes, are
Mid in inverse proportion to tneu^en-
joyment of their work and in tire 1960 s,
with the overwhelming popularity or
rock, it got even more disproportion-
ate. So Harrow took a job editing a New
York literary magazine while raising
two children with her husband (Jan
Krukowski, a consultant to nonprofit
institutions) in an apartment with a
river view on tony East End Avenue.
Music is not so easily kicked. In
1975, Harrow walked into The Cook-
ery, an upscale restaurant with live
music in Greenwich Village, and
talked owner Barney Josephson into
hiring her. Sbe was accompanied by
Richard Wyands on piano and Richard
Davis, bass; substantial names, as are
the other names she made music with
cited above and below — Grady Tate,
Phil Woods, Dick Katz, Ben Riley,
Clark Terry.
Nine albums total. “Lost Lady”
(Soul Note), her lOtiu is her first as a
composer. Listed in the Village Voice
as one of tire best jazz albums of 1994,
it is being presented as a song cycle,
although that sounds a bit pretentious
to her. “Nancy's written a musical
here,” Ray Drummond, her bassist,
said, and in fact its staged enactment
can easily be visualized, particularly
considering Verne! Bagneris’s voice
projection, clear diction and formal de-
livery. Bagneris has been playing Jelly
Roll Morton off-Broadway, a one-man
show in which he danced, sang and
spoke lines. Before going to catch him,
Harrow had been writing the songs for
two voices and wondering bow to solve
ChMuilW
“I love the idea of putting American literature together with jazz,”
identify even though she's never lit-
erally had to do that. ‘ ‘The situation for
women has changed quite a bit in a
century,” she said, “but it’s still the
same process. It's current, not just his-
tory." She describes the work as "a
cross between ‘The Cherry Orchard’
and ‘Madame Bovary.’ "
After graduating from Bennington
College with a degree in literature,
Harrow worked for a book publisher
while sitting in with jazzmen in New
York clubs. It took a certain amount of
courage for a not exactly big-name
white woman to walk in cold and ask
the famous and respected guitarist
Kenny Burrell if she could sing with
him (he said yes, they became friends).
One night when she sang in the Five
Spot Cafe on the Bowery (a funky joint
on Skid Row), the critic and producer
Nat Henroff was impressed with how
she “moved inside the lyrics" and
offered her a contract with bis Candid
label. She recorded with Buck Clayton,
Dickie Wells, Oliver Jackson and Bur-
rell.
She sat in with Kenny Clarke at the
Blue Note in Paris, which led to an-
other producer. John Lewis of tire
Modem Jazz Quaxtet and another al-
bum, this time with Jim Hall on guitar.
that problem.
Whatever you call it, having finally
succeeded in combining her verbal arm
musical sides under one hat, Harrow is
planning album number 1 1: “I love (he
idea of putting American literature to-
gether with jazz. I'm thinking about
‘The Marble Faun* by Nathaniel
Hawthorne, which takes place in
Rome. I was just there visiting the
places he mentions. My thesis in Ben-
nington was about that book. It’s great
to have this whole big new window in
my life. Hey!"
Her frequent explosive laugh is con-
tagious. “How about ‘The Brothers
Karamazov’?"
