AUCKLAND, New Zealand — The-

counterparts, ruled oat any relief Thurs-

Finance Mmtfer Masayoshi Takemura 
said Tokyo could not alter its sovereign 
lending arrangements, despite strong con- 
cwns about the unfolding consequences of 
the yen’s dramatic rise in value against 
most currencies that luis been voiced here 
at the Asian Development Bank’s 28th 
annual meeting, 

“Our intention is that as a result of the ■ 
fluctuations in the foreign enrhang* mar-

Betrays Panic of Serbs Who fled Town

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. -

seized almost a third of Croatia after it 
seceded from Yugoslavia in 1991. 

[The local Serbian commander, Lieuten- 
ant-Colonel Stevo Harambasic, surren- 
dered first, then scores of militiamen, some 
in hastily donned civilian clothes, came 
down from the hills or emerged from hid- 
ing places and were marched off at gun- 
point by Croatian soldiers. ] 

[Hundreds of bewildered Serbian wom- 


en, children and elderly, lined up in the 
streets to be searched and identified by 
Croatian troops.] 

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. 

At the entrance to the outlying suburb 
of Dubovac, a dead dog lay in the road in 
front of the ruins of what had been, until 
the beginning of this week, the “Little 
Heaven Grill” of a Serb named Blagoslav

ground amid empty brandy bottles and

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

Despite a Catalogue of Ills, Menem’s Re-election Looks Likely 


By Calvin Sims 

Ne* York runes Service 


BUENOS AIRES — It is not 
the best of times to be running 
for re-election in Argentina. 

Unemployment is at an all- 
time high. Unpaid workers are 
staging violent protests in the 
provinces. Taxes have just gone 
up. The banking system is a

mess. The military has con- 
fessed to killing and torturing 
dissidents during the 1970s. 
And fear remains that Argenti- 
na’s will be the next Latin 
American economy to crash, af- 
ter Mexico’s. 

But President Carlos Saul 
Menem, who led Argentina to 
record growth and tow inflation 
since taking office in 1989. has a 
strong lead over his rival in the 
latest public opinion polls and 


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. 

The latest opinion polls give 
Mr. Menem 42 to 44 percent of 
the vote, not including prqjec- 



For Remembrance 
Of the Nazis’ Fall 


- By Barry James 

Ituanahonal Heraid Tribme 

Major. ceremonies common; 
dating flic overthrow of Nazi 
tyranny in Europe 50 years ago 
start on Saturday in London 
and end four days later in Mos- 
cow, where heads of state and 
government from many coun- 
tries wiflartend the opening of a 
huge monument to . the Great 
Patriotic War. . 

President Bill Clinton will 
take pan in the ceremonies in 
Moscow, while Vice President 
AI Gore will be going to three 
other centals, starting in Lon- 
don, where Britain's wartime 
Queen, Elizabeth the Queen 
Mother, will join thousands of 
veterans at ceremonies in Hyde 
Paris-. 

In London, visiting leaders 
will attend a concert featuring a 
' few of the wartime stars; includ- 
ing Vera Lynn, and a service in 
St_ Paul’s Cathedral before 
heading to Paris on Sunday 
night 

While they arc cn route, dig- 
nitaries in Berlin will be open- 
ing a Jewish cultural cen ter as a 
permanent reminder of the peo- 
ple that Adolf Hitler tried to 
(radicate; 

The leaders will join Presi- 
dent- Francois Mitterrand un- 
derneath the Arc de Triomphe 
to watch as mflitaiy units pa- 
rade down the Champs Elysfees. 

After a state lunch with Mr. 
Mitterrand at Elysfee Palace, the 
leaders wffl travel to Bohn, 
where Chancellor Helmut Kohl 
will preside at a commemora- 
tion of the Nazi surrender. 

The emphasis on the com- 
memoration in Berlin wifl be on 
Germany’s renaissance as a 


democratic member of the Eu- 
ropean Union and the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization. 

Throughout Germany, the 
commemo ration will be accom- 
panied by independently orga- 
nized concerts, readings, church 

services an d peaceful demon- 
strations. . w 

Then, on Tuesday m Mos- 
cow, the state and government 
n-arfc and their retinues will at- 
tend ceremonies that are de- 
scribed as the most lavish since 
the coronation in the Kremlin 
of Czar Nicholas II in 1896. 

From a vantage point atop 
Lenin’s tomb, where Stalin and 
other Soviet leaders used to 
stand, Mr. Clinton and other 
officials will watch a parade by 
4,500 veterans re-enacting the 
victory parade of 1945. 

also will inaugurate of 
the Victory Memorial at Pok- 
lonnaya Gora, a park that 
marks the limi t of Hitler’s ad- 
vance on Moscow. 

For Russians, World War II 
■was the Great Patriotic War, 
and they argue that the West 
has underestimated their role in 
winning it. 

The Russian government is 
eager to remind the world of the 
27 mflfion Soviets who died 
during the war, and officials are 
conducting an extensive cam- 
paign to recall the heroic deeds 
of Russian soldiers. 

In many parts of Europe, 
May 8 is being commemorated 
not only as the end of the war 
but also as the beginning of a 
peaceful and united communi- 
ty. 

In Rome, where the Europe- 
an Union was founded, 15,000 
youths from around Europe 
were gathering for a rally. 


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. 

iters loyal to the rebel 
ten leader, Dzhokar Du- 
dayev, driving President Boris 
N. Yeltsin's unilateral truce in- 
troduced on April 28, have 
warned that they plan an offen- 
sive on Grozny to coincide with 
the Victory Day celebrations.

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.” 

A crow’s nest caused a power cut that put Japanese bullet trains 
out of action early Thursday, stranding 25,000 passengers for two 
hours. The blackout occurred when a nest on an overhead cable 
caused a short circuit on the line between Omiya in Saitama 
Prefecture and Oyama in Tochigj Prefecture, Japanese news 
media reported- (Reuters) 

Passenger traffic through the tunnel under the English Channel

Death Toll at 150 
As Work Nears End 

Reno Denies That Investigators 
Are Stymied in Bombing Probe 


P O L I T I C A L - NOTES 


Guards preparing to chain together convicts near Elkmont, Alabama. “ft*s embaiTassing,”oneof tfaeprisonere s^i 

;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.

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 
Vermont, one of several previously undecided senators on the 
Labor and Human Resources Committee, during the closing 
moments of Dr. Foster's confirmation hearings. Mr. Jef- 
fords's announcement made at least a tie vote likely on die 
panel, which is dominated, 9 to 7, by Republicans. 

If that happens, the committee could move the no minati on 
to the floor without a recommendation, but still recommend 
that a floor vote take place. The panel is not expected to vote 
on the nomination for at least two weeks. (LAT)

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 
members, especially London, Paris 


Although Union exports to dynamic 
East Asian economies are- increasing 
fast, the EU bad a trade deficit with 
the re gion Of about $53 bffikni in 1993. 

EU investment in East Asia, a key 
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. 

The ElTs executive body said (hat 
Europe was la^gjinghebrnd its compet- 
itors m exploiting Atia’seconomic po- 
tential • 

; If the EU failed to adopt a "more 
coordinated, pro-active strategy,” the 
commission said, it “stands to lose out 
on the economic miracle taking place 
in Asia.” 


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

cord low level because of a pro- 
longed drought Water was se- 
verely rationed and the 
government drafted a fleet of 
tanka* trades to deliver water to 
residential neighborhoods. 

Prime Minister Benazir 
Bhutto fired a top official of the 
Capital Development Author- 
ity, which administers the city. 

The government said it 
would dig an additional 50 
wells around the city and bring 
water in from the Khanpur 
Dam reservoir, about 60 kno- 
metexsaway. 

The water level at the Simly

piped to the capital, is said to be 
satisfactory after recent rains, 
but water tankers are still ply- 
ing the streets of several of toe 
city’s 22 residential areas. 

‘There will be water short- 
ages this summer, but it will not 
be as severe as last year,” an 
official of the development au-

buckets and pots formed be- 
hind the tankers. 

"Patience is running out

been facing potable water 
shortages for years,” said one 
man as he fetched a bucketful

with shortages, and residents 
were angry at the Capital De-

KUALA LUMPUR — 
Prime Minister Mahathir bin 
Mohamad’s new cabinet offers 
jw surprises, but it may 
Rhangws as junior politi- 
cians are groomed to move up 
the government ladder, analysts 
said Thursday. 

Mr. Mahathir, fresh from a 
resounding election victory, 
named several new and influen- 
tial people to relatively junior 


Those appointments were a 
hint that toe prime minister 
may shuffle Ins cabinet at mid- 
term, a political commentator 
said. 

“The new focus in this line- 
up,” said Rustam Sani, the 
commentator, “is that he has 
brought in very high profile 
people into not very high posi- 
tions. This may wdl prove to be 
an interim cabinet." 

Among the new faces were 
Nazri Abdul Aziz, acting chief 
of the youth wing of Mr. Ma- 
hathir’S United Malays Nation- 
al Organization, or UNMO, 
and the former deputy chief 
minister of Penang state, Ibra- 
him SaarL They were made dep- 
uty ministers in the prime min- 
ister's office. 

Sharizat Abdul JaH, a lawyer 
and businessman, was appoint- 
ed 1 parliamentary secretary in 
the Youth Ministry. 

Some saw the shifting of Na- 
jlb Razak from defense to edu- 
cation as an indication that the 
Education Ministry may be 
changing its focus. .. 

Jomo Sundaram, a professor 
of economics and politics at 
Malaya . University, said the 
moyewouldretum education td 
the top of the government's 
agenda. -Teachers have long 
formed the backbone of the 


much more in the UMNO as- 
semblies now,” the professor 
said, adding that the petition 
also was an opportunity for Mr. 
Nqib, a party vice president, to 
influence people at party level 

Overall Mi. Mahathir’s new 
cabinet and his retention of the 
key home, trade and industry, 
finance and information minis - 
tens will serve to strengthen his 
alread y con siderable clout in 
the government, as well as score 
points with foreign investors, 
analysts said. 

“What the line-up says is that

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.

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 
northern Iraq." Defense Minis- 
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 
system of the so-caDed Third Reich. 

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- 
cratic constitutional order in their histo- 
ry, and they seized it, with the full sup- 
port of tberr Western friends. 

Fifty yean after World War II, the 
Germans have drawn lessons from his- 
tory. War, prejudice, hatred and aation-

alism must be overcome — including 
the new national egoism in Europe to- 
day, a central danger for the continent 
because it could lead, to new nationalism 
and then chauvinism. 

Because this egoism begins in the 
hearts and minds of people, we must 
struggle together to draw the right les- 
sons from history, from the dark chapters 
but also from those that give us hope. 

A new European future can be se- 
cured only by following a genuinely co- 
operative course. Germany has pursued 
such a course in full accord with its

The Federal Republic of Germany 
has recognized its historic responsibility 
by contributing substantially to the pro- 
cess of European unification and to the 
North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It 
helped to overcome East-West confron- 
tation through treaties with ita Central 
and East European neighbors and by 
supporting the Conference on Security 
and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), 
which emerged from the Helsinki hu- 
man rights accord of the 1970s.

Since the peaceful revolution in Eu- 
rope of 1989-1990, the world has changed 
dramatically. The European Union and 
its member stales, inen iHiwg Germany, 
are called upon to assume their global 
responsibilities. To do so. comprehen- 
sive cooperation and result-oriented di- 
alogue, on the basis of values and inter- 
ests shared by Japan, North America and 
the European Union, are indispensable. 

When positions diverge, we must not 
risk rupture but rather deal with the 
problem in a forward-moving maimer 
within the United States-Japan-Europe 
triangle. This path is right, and it most 
be pursued vigorously.

Confronted by global challenges that 
range from- mass unemployment to the . 
seed for nuclear nonprokferatioiL we 
must see that the Atlantic becomes not 
wider but narrower. 

Developments in Central and Eastern 
Europe as well as in the former. Soviet

European Union is ahead of others in.

port, not out of charity but on the basis 
of. its own interest in stability, security 
and economic wdl-bdng- 
Thatis why the European Union offers 
the new European democracies the pro- 
spect.of membership. The EU has al- 
ready concluded association agreements 
with several Central and East European 
countries. The prospect of fu& member- 
ship represents to - the 'citizens of these 
reformist nations the "light at the end of 
the tunnel” during 1 their difficult, trans- 
formation. A dear timetable for admis- 
sion should help them make the tough 
decisions that are necessary. 

Separate development is no longer pos- 
sible in Europe. We must all accept the 
unity of die continent as a whole. Iix the 
long rim. Western Europe cannot be well- 
off if Eastern Europe remains badly off. 
Russia remains a prime factor in worid 

politics. The West's willingness to inten- 
sity relations with Russia reflects the 
growing recognition that it remains an 


important power, even if it is passng 
through a period of instability- 

Since theUnited Slates and the Europe- 
. an Union consider Russia a strategic part- 
ner, it is only appropriate that the West 
deariy affirm its permanent interest m a 
stable and democratic Russia whidire-

their finks si order to construct an archi- 
tecture, of security in Europe • 

In the long run, a European regional 
Security Council might be necessary- 
‘ Moving in this direction, the CSCE sum- 
mit meeting last December in Budapest 
prepared the ground for establishing such 
a structure. Accordingly, the CSCE has 
become the Organization for Security and 

Cooperation in Europe. 

We Germans are mandated by our con- 
stitution, the Basic Law, to work for unifi- 
cation of Europe and to serve peace in the 
world. Our constitution puts man, in his 
‘ uniqueness and with his dignity, at the 
center of our state and our soci ety. 

The dignity erf man and the respect of 
human rights — these are values we share 
with our European and American part- 
ners. Our -proven commitment to these 
values constitutes the chapter of hope in 
Germany's history. It is the firm founda- 
tion for oar efforts to build a better future 
in Europe and the rest of the world.

A gift ban would not change every- 
thing in Washington. It is no substitute 
for reforming the campaign spending

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- 
istration making such an issue of how 
lobbyists are involved in writing legisla- 
tion in the new Congress, you would 
think the reform issue would be a natural 
for the president As for Mr. Gingrich, 
Mr. Dole and all those Republican fresh- 
men who say they want to ' 
they have the majority. Win 
good on their words?

Hypocrisy in die Caucasus 

What the Russian army has been doing 
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 
lies the truth: the truth of the destruction 
of cities and towns; the truth of massacres 
and ethnic persecution; the truth that with 
the action in the Caucasus. Chechnyans 
are being driven out of Chechnya, and 
Russia’s democratic beginnings are fading.

P ARIS — “You have to be 
taught / Before if s too late, / 
Before you are six, or seven or 
eight / To hate all the people your 
rdatives hate. / You have to be 
carefully tau gh t** 

Tbe satirical song from the mu- 
sical “South Pacific," mocking 
the prejudices of American ser- 
vicemen encountering islanders 
during Worid War EL, was based 
on a common utopian thesis — 
that hatred is unnatural. 

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a beam 
of the Enlightenment (in his writ- 
ings but not in his personal life.) 
promoted the idea that untutored 
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 
is, in almost all the flagrant con- 
temporary examples erf malevo- 
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. 

Joining tbe angry American de- 
bate after the Oklahoma City 
bombing over whether the spread 
of rabid, hate-filled talk radio 
inspired violence, Senator Max 
Baucos of Montana pointed out 
(JHT Opinion, May 2) that free 
spe e c h is not only a guarantee, it 


By Flora Lewis 

is a duty. He recounted an inci- 
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 

tySS Dead 


whose place in the cultural hagi- 
ography it denounces, do have 
value. So do live ones, for that 
matter. They are not to be de- 
nied their right to dignity, in a 
claimed right to hate. 

In the last five years there 
have been 90 armed conflicts in 
tbe world (not cotmting terrorist 
attacks) and they have produced 
20 millio n refugees. Only four 
were wars between states; the 
rest were internal, people ex- 
ploding with hate for each other 
m the same country. 

Countries that consider them- 
selves civilized are not immune. 
Tolerance may not come natural- 
ly, but it can be learned.

The Middle East Will Be Greatly Missed 


ARBOR, 


■ Two weeks after the Oklaho- 
ma City bombing, Americans 
who are “Middle Eastern in ap- 
pearance” still wait to be ab- 
solved of a crime they did not 
commit — - a statement of some 
sort from their countrymen that 
would wipe out that media-con- 
jured collective composite sketch 
of tbe “Islamic militants" who at 
first were suspected. 

But with so many victims still 
under tbe nibble and so many 
bodies haunting the American 
memory, and with so many urgent 
questions yet to be answered, why 
would white America turn its at- 
tention to tite sense of injury fdt 
by one of its ethnic mmooties? 


— By Anton Shammas 


President BHI Clinton said the 
day after tbe bombing that “tins 
is not a question of anybody’s 
country of origin,” and “we 
should not stereotype anybody.” 
Bnt sews organizations, includ- 
ing CNN, kept reporting far two 
days afterward that “several men 
of Middle Eastern origin" had 
driven away from tbe federal 


Much Analysis, Little Understanding 


B OSTON — It must happen 
at every stop along the end- 
less book tour, Robert Strange 
McNamara’s last lour of duty. 

There must be a Margaret 
Dunn in every audience, a wid- 
ow who has waited for a quar- 
ter-century to ask this man to 
say he’s sorry for tbe death of 
her husband. 

There must be a John Hurley 
in every question session saying 


'In international 
affairs, as mother 
aspects of life, there 
may be problems for 
"which there are no 
immediate solutions/ 


“I’m a Vietnam vet and your 
book is an obscenity." 

There most be a vet at every 
editorial board meeting who 
warns to know why in hell Rob- 
ert McNamara waited so long 
before he spoke out. 

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 
those who were playing God 
could resurrect our dead in- 
stead of our grief." 

This is what it’s like for the 
whiz kid in the winter of his life, 
as he travels around the United 
States telling his war story, “In 
RetnospecL" At nearly 79 years 
old, Robert McNamara, the 
brightest of the “best and the 
brightest," the supreme analyst, 
is trying to explain, God knows 
belatedly, how they went wrong. 
How he was wrong How be 
knew it way back then. 

During his two days in Bos- 
ton, T saw him rustling through 
his briefcase, moving to the 
edge of his chair and back, 
forming his elaborate answers, 
taking notes and taking anger. 

Wiry, in shirt sleeves and a

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 

C out tiie lettm- from Ann 
isan, tbe widow of a pro- 
tester who burned himself to 
death. Eyes filling, he reads ha- 
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. 
The sorry, infuriating, bewilder- 
ing reality that the best and the 
brightest can still succeed bril- 
liantly at analysis and fail utter- 
ly at understan ding. 

The Boston Globe . 


television stations 
added appropriate touches of col- 
or. The men were seen speeding 
away in a brown Chevrolet pick- 
up trade with tinted windows. 

And the anchorman of De- 
troit's “Eyewitness News” said 
the night after the explosion that 
the federal building “had the 
Middle East written all over it” 
This in a city that is home to 
many Arab- Americans. 

Timothy McVeigh, the prime 
suspect, was already in custody on 
speeding charges. But attention 
was focused on Ibrahim Ahmad of 
Oklahoma City, & frequent flyer 
between stereotypes. He was wear- 
ing a jogging suit snnflar to one 
supposedly worn by a man leaving 
tiie axe of the explosion, and since 
he was headed to Jordan and he 
looked totally un-American, Mr. 
Ahmad was i n terrogated over tiie 
course of two days. 

1 left Jerusalem, and tiie Mid- 
dle East, eight years ago and 
came to the University of Michi- 
gan at Arm Arbor thinking that I 
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 
is home of the Michigan Militia, 
a name whose mere sound 
strums a kind of terrifying Leba- 
nese tune inside my head; that 
Decker, Michigan, may be more 


explosive than Armageddon and 
Jerusalem combined; that Mark 
(“Death to the New Worid Or- 
der!”} Koemke, one of Mr. 
McVeigh’s ideological mentors 
and a shortwave prophet of 
doom, works as a custodian on 
the Ann Arbor campus, which I 
had foolishly thought was the 
most peaceful place on earth. 

In mart, I fed totally taken in. 

Hie media retracted their ini- 
tial finger-pointing and, hoping 
for short memory spans, have 
been backing away from their 
early reports. It is so longer Mid- 
dle Eastern but “foreign" terror- 
ism that was at first suspected. 
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- 
perts on “Islamic militants” 
would have recycled their argu- 
ments, reminding Americans 
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- 
certain, uncharted, shifting 
ground. The black-and-white 
worid picture of “them" vs. “us" 
has been blurred beyond recog- 
nition and buried under the rab- 
ble. The Middle East will be 
greatly missed.

novelist, is at work on a collection 
of essays about the Middle East.

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.

Western leaders should not go to 


Moscow to commemorate the end of 
World War If at a time when Boris 
Yeltsin is still washing his bands 
in Chechen blood. 

The same Western leaders and 
politicians who criticized the Turk- 
ish intervention in nonhem Iraq 
against Kurdish terrorists miss the 
reality in the Caucasus. Human 
rights issues are raised against Tur- 
key at every turn, but for Russians, 
nothing. It is the sam e cynical ap- 
proach, over and over again.

Robert Strange McNamara is 
wrong again. Because of him. Lyn- 
don Baines Johnson, and their “best 
and brightest,” America lost a war 
that it should have won in Vietnam.

Eat, Starve ? Exercise , Rest , 
Or Maybe Do the Opposite 


By Daniel Greenberg 


W ASHINGTON — The hidden 
flaw in America’s sweaty and 
starved pursuit of healthful longev- 
ity is that little is actually known 
about what diet and exercise do to 
the human body. And when Utile is 
known about matters of high anxi- 
ety, assertion fills in for knowledge, 
quackery thrives, the hopeful swarm 
to be taken, and commercial oppor- 
tunities blossom. 

That is pretty much the state of 
affairs today in a crackpot health 
economy that extends from food la-

Working in the Johnson White

based ou bad analysis of meaning- 
less statistics, and in their 
lethal fantasies, themselves as- 
signed the targets and the missions 
that sent so many of my friends 
to their pointless incarceration 
and/or death. 

And so we ended up with a politi- 
cian, a statistician and a collection 
of academicians who have not real- 
ized to this day that, to paraphrase 
the sad old joke, there were people, 
real people, over there, doing the 
bleeding and dying for them, and 
for their country.

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 

By Robert D. Richardson Jr. 671 .

California Press. 671 pages.

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 
fine -hammered steel, drawn 

largely front his journals (263

• 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.

lanny or the apartments he 
a shared. 

£ But interviews with dozens of 
*■ 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-

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." 


SUMMIT: Security Accord Near

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

Russian officials have indi- 
cated, however, that the center-

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.

spies who were arrested or tried 
in secret but whose identity and 
whereabouts have become 
known in recent years, Mr. 
Zucker said. 

All are still in jafl. They in-

most famous prisoner, Morde- 
chai Vanunu, the Israeli techni- 
cian who was convicted in 1986 
of selling nuclear secrets to a 
British newspaper and has since 
been held in solitary confine- 
meat at Asbkelon Prison. 

The most striking case is that

a senior scientist at Nes Ziona, 
a top-secret institute near Tel 
Aviv that does research in 
chemical and biological war- 
fare. In 1983 he seemed to fall 
off the face of the earth. 

It took 10 years and an Israeli 
Supreme Court order lifting the 
veus of secrecy for the public to 
learn that Mr. Klingbera had

Apparently, it is better, to

kindle romances with lost 
loves, often experience the 
most intense emotional sat-

said after conducting what 
she called a pietimmary, in- 
formal study. 

And most of those in re- 
newed love relationships be- 
come permanent partners, 
despite separations of de- 
cades, changes in appear- 
ance and ever years of mar-, 
riage to others. 

Miss Kalish developed a 
questionnaire and solicited 
replies from second-time- 
around couples through 
conv entio nal media, com- 
puter networks and else- 
where. So far, she has com- 
ments from more than 60 
people, ranging from 20 to 
83 years old. Some of her 
subjects were childhood 
Mends. For others, first love 
oocaned during the happiest 
periods of thdr lives. 

Miss Kaiish said she had 
concluded that “people baar 
cally are romantic and they 
can't stand loose ends. They 
need closure.”

stomach when it comes to 
staving off heart attacks. 
The study did not Include

risk of high blood pressure

of blood fat. Overweight 
women who carry their fat 


around hips and thighs tend 
to have fewer such risks.

An autopsy found the cause 
of death to be accidental due

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-

Kremlin about the centrifuge 
plant and that until it did — 
presumably at the May 9-10

The White House press secre-

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


By Steven Greenhouse 

New York Tima Service 

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

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 
Menteile’s magnificent 1992 cabernet mer- 
loc(145 francs).

Scavengers

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. 
We follow their uncomplaining 
industry and watch them 
change, brutalized by the life, 
and sometimes ennobled by it.

for now) deliberately desenti-

Pereira is a sedate, overweight, 
late-middle-age widower who 
edits the arts page in a sup- 
posedly independent Lisbon 
newspaper during the Spanish 
civil war. Detached from pol- 
itics. willfully and blissfully ig- 
norant of the abuses his fellow 
Portuguese suffer under their 
own dictatorship, he spends his 
days translating pages from his 
favorite French novels and po- 
ems in a muffled and mundane 
existence. Then he meets a 
young Lisbon student and po- 
liticaf activist named Monteiro 
Rossi who slowly but inex- 
orably draws him out of his 
literature-lined oblivion, push- 
ing him back into the vital and 
tragic times in which they both 
live. Based on the prize-win- 
ning novel by the Italian author 
.Antonio Tabucchi, “Sostiene 
Pereira” (Pereira Claims) is an 
excellent rendition of one of 
literature and cinema’s most 
classic transformations: the 
metamorphosis of the disaffect- 
ed. indifferent intellectual into

wooden. Stefano Dionisi is

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.

Interior scenes of the home of Victor Horta, master of Art Nouveau architecture, in Brussels.

Leaving Brussels’ Beaten Track

B RUSSELS — You’ve pho- 
tographed the Manoeken Pis, 
climbed the Aromium. rubbed the 
siaiue in the Grand-Place. Maybe 
it's time to get off the beaten track. This 
town of hidden treasures has hosted many 
remarkable residents. How about paying 
some house calls? 

A MAN: Way down in the unfashion- 
able commune of Anderlecht. on the other 
side of the Gare du Midi's ugly tracks, lies 
a pocket of Renaissance peace. The Maison 
d ‘Eras me is something of a misnomer The 
so-called Prince of Humanists only lived 
here for five months. But this stately brick 
mansion offers a journey back into the 15tb 
and 16th centuries. 

In 1 52 1 . when Desiderius Erasmus came 
here to stay with Canon Pierre Wijchmans, 


and across the tracks to upper-class Uccle. 
we come to a bouse that overshadows its 
late owners. David and Alice van Buuren 
fell in love with Ait Deco at the landmark 
Paris exhibition of 1925. Although they 
gave tite Brussels house they were then 
building a Dutch-style exterior (van Bu- 
uren, a prominent banker, was bom in 
Gouda), the interior is an Art Deco dream, 
in all its rich elegance.

the noise of car horns and bus motors wafts 
over the garden walls, the insulated house 
and grounds have been restored to their 
former splendor. Indoors, daylight filters 
through leaded glass to fall softly on 
beamed ceilings, polished wood floors, a 
1 6th century Flemish statue of St. Peter. 

To piped-in Renaissance music, you 
climb the foot-worn grand staircase to the 
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. 


-A. window perfectly frames views of the 
lush garden. In the harmonious drawing 
room, a brilliantly colored, custom-de- 
signed tapestry by Jaap Gidding and a 
Gaspard lamp from the 1925 Paris ex- 
hibition grace the piano; the instrument 
itself, made for the French composer Erik 
Satie, van Buuren had encased in an Art 
Deco shell of mahogany. 

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 
Gogh. (The museum guides are all an 
historians.) Van Buuren, who was Jewish, 
hid the paintings when he fled to the United 
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-

Everything serviceable is hidden or 
made beautiful, like fee concealed serving

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.

** wandered the narrow 
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

towers. 


man encampment 
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 
said Thursday that the United 
States and Japan were unlikely

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 

1 


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 
with anything short of shooting 
workers to maintain profits. 
MobD announced this week it 
was laying off 4.700 workers 
despite record profits, and no 
one did anything to stop them. 
When 1 beard that. 1 bought

Very briefly: 


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 
Ventures Inc., the division of Tele-Com- 
munications that is the majority investor in 
@home. said commercial service would 
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 
customers at extra cost 

Besides providing access to the Internet 
and the World Wide Web. the data chan- 
nel would carry commercial on-line infor- 
mation services like Prodigy, America On- 
line and the Microsoft Network. 


cent weeks to prop up the dol- 
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 
only make the returns on 7 per- 
cent government bonds look esc-

Stocks ended lower Thursday 
as traders took advantage of an 
early, record-setting surge to 
lock in gains before April em- 
ployment data are released on 
Friday, Bloomberg Business 
News reported. 

Senricxmductor and financial 
shares were the biggest winners 
in a day when major stock in- 
dexes swung widely. The Dow 
had risen as much as 37 points, 
crossing 4.400 for the first time, 
before posting a small Joss. 

National Semiconductor, the 
most actively traded issue on 
the New York Stock Exchange, 
rose Vt to 25 Vi. Intel rose 2fe to 
109ft. 

“Nobody understands the 
depth of demand in this semi- 
conductor cycle.” said Charles 
Howfcjr, equity trader at Sound- 
View Financial Group Inc. 

The number of advancing is- 
sues was about- equal to the 
number of dediners on the New 
York Stock Exchange. 

Automobile, tobacco and re- 
tailer stocks were among the

Auan^stforaS^^bro- 

^ Profit “eanae b

toe mam ieason was the volume 
of sales m North America was 
declining.” 

Electrolux shares fell to 370 
Kronor, down 6. 

“The market was simply ex- 
pecting more than the company 
ooold produce,” said the an*. 

ly^ who declined to be named 

“The European market 
snowed greater demand for 
most products” Electrolux 
said, although in North Ameri- 
ca, “a slight decline was noted 
for white goods.” 

The company said sales of 
household appliances rose 26 
percent, to 18.93 famion kronor. 
Sales of commercial appliances 
rose 21 percent, to 236 billion 
kronor. 

ElectroJnx’s household appli- 
ances tmit recorded an operat- 
ing profit of 71 6 million kronor, 
up from 210 Tnilfirm kronor a 
year ago, addle the commercial 
appliances unit increased its 
operating income to 86 million 
kronor from 26 million kronor.

Nordbanken AB said its 
first-quarter operating profit 
fell to 122 billion kronor from 
1.34 billion a year earlier, 
Bloomberg Business News re- 
ported from Stockholm. 

The state-owned bank said 
charges taken forbad debts and 
provisions slipped to 335 mil- 
lion kronor from 567 ndOion a 
year ago. 

The bank, which is 100 per- 
cent held by the Swedish state 
after a restructuring in 1992, is 
expected to be sold off to pri- 
vate investors later this year.

Tho company expects to in- 
vest about 7Q0 million kronor in 
India in the next three to five

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. 

An ambitious joint venture 
with KLM Royal Dutch Air- 
lines and British Airways PLC 
failed to take off and its deal

“We have yet to see a cyclical upturn

said. 

Economists said the rise in Western 
Germany showed that companies were

■ 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.

OSLO — Hafslund Nycomed AS said Thursday its first-quarter

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

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 
profit had fallen 16 percent, to 1.31 billion kroner, as charges

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

\ planes flew over the former battle 
i arras dropping leaflets to isolated 
enemy troops to inform them of 
. the German capitulation, 
j British occupation of Trieste and 
Gonzla trill prevent Yugoslav 
troops from taking the cities and 
j announcing a fait accompli. Yura- 
. 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. 
the world so that the world is not 
frozen" has been questioned by Mr. 
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 
second meeting this evening to 
finish ironing out any difference 
before the midnight deadline lor 
filing formal amendments with the 
conference secretariat. 

Agreement Reported Near 
They were reported to be near 
agreement on the American sug- 

? estion to lec the assembly call

In any event, it is reported that 
they are agreed that they, with 
France, should be able to veto

is genuinely pleased with tbe 
progress of the sessions. The

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

■K a hmit of 20 percent was 

S to be imposed on cross- 
hddiags. 

Mr. Packer, who has said he 

wants to own Fairfax, stands to 

lose because he controls the 
television group Publishing & 
Broadcasting Lt<L, which urns

Before the government an- 
nouncement Wednesday night, 
Mr. Packer had argued thathe 
could own as much as 24.9 per- 
cent of Fairfax without breach- 
ing cross-media rules. 

Shares in Fairfax closed at 
2 , 84 Au 5 tralian dollars ($ 2 . 08 ) 

Thursday in Sydney, down 8 
cents. 

Analysts said the govern- 
ment s move to clarify an upper 

limit on cross-media and for- 
eign ownership also had impli- 
cations for Seven Network Ltd 
a aval of Nine Network in 
which News Cozp. has been 


limited to a 15 percent stake. 
Some speculated that Mr. Mur- 
doch, a native Australian who is 
now a US. citizen, might try to 
increase his stake to 20 percent. 

“The new rules are likely 10 
be 20 percent across the board 
— 20 percent for cross-media, 
20 percent for foreign," said Si- 
mon Bond, an analyst at ANZ 
McCaughan Securities. 

Such a ruling, others said, 
could affect Mr. Black, who 
owns his 25 percent stake in 
Fairfax through Britain-based 
Telegraph PLC, which he con- 
trols. 

The Australian Broadcasting 
Authority, the agency with ju- 
risdiction over media owner- 
ship, is expected to take a 
month to deliberate any 
changes to existing laws. A gov- 
ernment spokesman said any 
changes would be all-embrac-

2.11 billion dollars. 

Analysts said the figures eased concern about 
Australia’s federal budget, which is to be un-

Lance Pnpdis, associate director of fixed interest 
at Norwich Australia Asset Management “With 
the b udget so dose, I guess the market will be 
pretty happy to hold onto these gains." 

In its budget for the financial year be ginning 
July 1, the government is expected to announce 
pleasures to tackle the deficit which has weighed 
in at more than 2 billion dollars for seven of tbe 


past eight months. In the nine-month period 
coded March 31, the deficit totaled 19.61 billion 
dollars, up from 7.5 billion dollars in the live 
penod a year earlier. 

“The monthly numbers should begin to come

Financial markets greeted the news on Thurs-

dropped to 951 percent from 9.69 perc e nt on

rose by 13 percent to close at 2,06520. 

Economists had based their bleak forecasts for 
the March deficit on figures that showed an 8 
percent surge in imports for March. They had 
expected weak export figures after two months of 
export growth and had forecast rural exports to 
be hampered by the effects of Australia’s pro-

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-

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. 

They scored five in the third. 


the last on an RBI single by 
Watson, who also had driven in 
a run in the second with a 
groundout 

Astros 11. Cubs 2: Darryl 
Kile held Chicago to three hits 
in six scoreless innings and 

NL ROUNDUP 

drove in two runs with a double 
as visiting Houston won its 
third in a row. 

The Astros got 14 hits, in- 
cluding Craig Biggie's three- 
run homer in the fifth and Craig 
Shipley’s two-run shot in the 
seventh, which made it 10-0. 

Rockies 12, Padres 7: Joe 
Girardi tied a club record with 
six RBIs as Colorado rallied 
from a 5-0 deficit to remain 
unbeaten at home and improve 
to 7-1, a franchise-best. 

The Rockies tied with a five- 
run fourth and went ahead in 
the fifth on Girardi's three-run 


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. 

With Chicago ahead, 7-6, 
with two outs in (he ninth, re- 

AL ROUNDUP 

liever Roberto Hernandez 
threw a fastball up-and-in. Af- 
ter fouling off the two previous 
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. 

Perez’s hit came after Ed 
Sprague, who homered earlier, 
singjed and went to second on a 
sacrifice. 

Angels 8, Athletics 7: Califor- 
nia trailed by 7-4 after six in- 
nings, but forced extra innings 
against Oakland before Jim Ed- 
monds won it with an RBI an- 
gle in the 10th. 

Tim Salmon started the rally 
with a two-run homer in the 
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 
was outhit by 1 2-8. but got eight 
walks for the second straight 
game, and Fred McGriff drove 
in two runs with a double and a 
sacrifice fiy in Florida. 

In two* losses to Atlanta, 
Florida pitchers have walked 16 
and hit three batters. 

Expos 3, Mets 1: Pedro Mar- 
tinez unproved to 5-0 lifetime 
against New York and matched 
his career high with 10 strike- 
outs while allowing four hits 
over seven innings. 

Montreal took a 2-0 lead in 
the bottom of the first on a run- 
scoring triple by Wil Cordero 
and a groundout by Moises 
Alou. 

Dodgers 7, Giants 6: Pinch- 


hitter Chris Gwynn singled in 
two runs and Jose Offerman hie 
a two-run triple in the top of the 
ninth as visiting Los Angeles 
ended Rod Beck's major-league 
record streak of 41 consecutive 
saves. 

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.

their first playoff series. 

Leading by 2-1 against the 
only playoff team with a losing 
record, Orlando can wrap up 
the best-bf-5 series Friday n r ’ 
in what wiD be the Celtics’ last 
game at Boston Garden if they 
don’t gain the second round. 

“Maybe there’s a lepre- 
chaun” that helps them win 
there, said Nick Anderson, who 
led Orlando with 24 points, 
“but we have magic.” 

With Boston ahead, 77-74, 
Anderson sank a 3-pointer with 
1:10 left. Then Anfernee 
Hardaway soared to block 
Dominique Wilkins’s layup 
with 46 seconds to go. And Sha- 
qtrille O’Neal got the go-ahead 
basket on a followup dunk with 
28 seconds left 

He finished with 20 points 
and a season-high 21 rebounds. 

Orlando won despite winking 
just 4 of 18 shots in the fourth 
quarter against a team playin g 
with a rare intensity for a sea- 
son in which it was 35-47. But

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

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. 

Bondra captured the goal-

Heartland Violence 


Nancy Harrow’s Willa Cather Songbook 


people 


By Russell Baker 


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 

International Herald Tribune 


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’?"
