CHC petition readied By Ferdie de la Torre Variety News Staff

A GROUP of people at the Com­monwealth Health Center is pre­pared to sign a petition asking the Legislature to support Governor Froilan Tenorio' s position to can­cel ·entirely Public Law 7-45.

Dr. lsamu J .. Abraham, secre­tary of the Department of Public Health Services, told the Variety last Thursday that the petitioners are composed of doctors, nurses and other staff from the hospital.

Abraham said he submitted a letter to Tenorio expressing DPHS's support with the governor's idea to cancel P .L. 7-45 entirely.

Abraham said he also sent a report from Dr. Beth Fox, acting director of Medical Affairs, un­derscoring the need to act on the law to avoid compromising health care services at CHC. ·

the employment of non-US citi­zens in the government effective last Sept. 30.

Dr. Fox said the enactment of the law has considerably affected the standard care at CHC and will continue to do so unless it is re­pealed.

In its medical staff quarterly report, Fox explained they are con­tinuously losing out on the re­cruitment of well qualified Cana­dian physicians.

She said they are facing the prospect of losing several of the current staff whose contracts would come up for renewal over the next year.

"Each of these individuals has indicated k> us that they would like to be able to stay and con­tinue to care for the people of the CNMI," Fox said.

If this issue is not dealt with in

a timely fashion, Fox warned that these doctors will need to look for position elsewhere "and. we will need to start the time consuming and costly process of recruitment."

As a result of this law, she claimed that the well trained and competent nursing staff were vir-

tuall y replaced by new nurses who were brought in by manpower agencies.

Fox said the move has substan­tially lowered the standard of care received by patients.

In the meantime, Fox empha-

Last month Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio said the CNMI had started establishing connections with Japanese medical organizations to achieve the CNMI' s desire to serve the health needs of Japa­nese tourists, who constitute more than 60 percent of arrivals in the CNMI.

Reyes said that for the gover­nor to single out a doctor from Japan and to invite him here to practice medicine "is something I don't support at all."

He also said he questions the feasibility of that doctor treating local patients.

"And who's gonna be respon­sible if there's a malpractice law­suit against the doctor for not meeting the standard require­ments?" he asked.

The congressman expressed his concern for Public Law 745, say-

ing that if and when the govern­ment hires doctors who are not US citizens, otherprofessions may ask exemptions. "What about teachers, accountants, nurses?"

He said the focus of his concern is that "I don't think the govern­ment should make a special ex­

Peres: Mideast ripe for 'comprehensive peace'

By ARIEH O'SUWVAN JERUSALEM (AP) - The Middle East is "ripe for a comprehensive peace" and Syria appears ready to resume stalled peace talks, Prime Minister Shimon Peres said.

Speaking Saturday to Israel army radio on the eve of his departure for the United States, Peres urged Syrian President Hafez Assad to demon­strate he really is earnest about peace.

"(Assad) has to open all channels, to understand that each one of us has to convince the people of Syria and Israel of our seriousness to solve all the differences in a peaceful way," Peres said. 'Toe region is ripe for a comprehensive peace."

Syrian-Israeli peace negotiations were suspended in June when the two sides were unable to agree on security arrangements on the Golan Heights after an eventual Israeli withdrawal. Israel captured the strategic plateau in the 1967 Middle E.ast war.

L

Peres said he would discuss with President Clinton ways to restart the talks.

''The character of the negotiations has to be flexible and wide ranging," he said.

Peres did not elaborate, but Hagai Merom, head of parliament's influ­ential foreign affairs committee, pro­posed a summit meeting between the Ieadersoflsrael,Syriaandthe United States. He told Israel radio that U.S. shuttle diplomacy has failed to ad­vance the negotiations.

''The main mes.sage I got from Damascusisthattheirearsareopened to what we have to say, to new ideas and new approaches," Peres said.

A White House foreign policy official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Saturday: ''The president is looking forward to i

the White House visit for an up- / date on the Middle East peace i process." r

World·Corp. readies survey of planned hotel project site

By Rafael H. Arroyo Variety News Staff

A KOREAN developerseekingtocon­struct and operate a first-class resort hotel complex in Northern Saipan is abouttoconductanarchaeologicalsur­vey ofitsplanned site area prior to land­clearing.

This was learned from Manuel A. Sablan, Vice President ofW orld Corp. Saipan who said the company is seek­ing to adhere to all statutcry require­ments prior to commencement of the hotel project

'We'vegottomovewiththeproject but we have to go through all statutory conditions to make sure thateverything goes on smoothly," said Sablan in a telephone interview with the Variety last week

AccordingtoSablan, WorldCorp.is currently in the process of reviewing two archaeological survey proposals it has received and will be making a choice this week.

Although he did not disclosed the names of the two bidders, Sablan said one is a Saipan-based surveyor while the other is from Guam.

'1bis is part of the normal require­ment and we are ready to comply. After this, our project would then have to go through the building safety code requirements prior to construction," said Sablan.

The World Corp. project entails the construction of a resort hotel complex, the World Silver Town.

The complex consists of a 14-story, 363-room hotel, a 33-unit condo­minium, two restaurants, swimming pools, a clubhouse, meeting rooms, retail shops and other resort amenities.

World Corp. is the same Korean company that has offered to finance and perform a road improvement project on two vital Saipan thorough­fares, the Chalan Pale Arnold and the Cross-island back road.

Rangarnar shouting at the victim,"that' s what you get when you cross the Rangarnar property without respect."

When the officer asked about

the incident, Rangamar claimed Malik was with group of indi­viduals who started to harass him and challenged to fight him as they passed his residence in a vehicle.

The policeman noted two other

persons shouting that Malik de­served to be beaten.

When the officer removed Rangarnar from the scene, the defendant returned and kicked the victim who was laying on the ground. (FDl)

LUNCH AT THE PARK. Korean tourists find the American Memorial Park as a suitable place where they could relax and take their lunch yesterday.

I Galaidi by John.S. DelRosario, JR.

Leak in the System WHENEVER I happen into a Korean-run grocery store, there's a sense of uneasiness that runs-up my spine as I take a quick glance at local and imported products that are sold beyond the reach of those earning the minimum wage.

For instance, at a certain Korean-run grocery store the cost per pound of rabbit fish is $4.50. It is $1.75 more than the current minimum wage. It's beginning to resemble the phenomenon we've forced irito the price of !and-beyond the reach of average citizens--muchless wrestling with securing a loan to build the first family home.

You·may quiz so what's your beef, sir? Well, I'll bet my shirt that rabbit and other fish are bought from local fishermen

at around $2.00 per pound. The store owner makes $2.50 profit which is perfectly fine. The question that comes naturally to mind: Is he reporting this when he files his taxes at the end of the year? Tell this scribe the answer is in the affirmative, please? Is he doing the same with betel nuts, leaves and lime; local dough nuts and tortillas? This js where the Division of Revenue and Taxation ou~t to zerQ:in by verifyin2 with local sellers the quantity of products they've sold to these vendors and compare it with what's in their tax forms.

I also understan~ ,that a certain Korean businessman imports ric~ cookers and an assortment of other Korean products. The bill of lading says that the cost of each rice cooker is $59.00 a piece. They are sold at $500-plus each. At the end of the year the business gross receipts (BGR) shows that this item was sold at $59.00 per unit. He makes a profit of $441 which goes into his pocket for good when in fact he should be paying more taxes at the sale price of $500.00 rather than the $59.00. Gee, the system leaks a lot, doesn't it? You add them all together and I'm pretty sure that we're losing around $20-$30 Million a year.

**** Out in night clubs and karaoke bars, drinks for waitresses range anywhere

between $6.00 to $24.00 per shot. The insults aren't done yet. There are bars and karaoke clubs who make drinks for their waitresses mandatory every fifteen minutes to half-an-hour.

Life in these bars must be difficult for a waitress who is earning the floor wage (minimum) base salary. So she either hustles customers by playing them against each other or she loses out to the more courageous co-workers. If this scheme doesr.. 't work, the management turns to mandatory drinks to make up to her girls. Either that or the girls are forced into quiet prostitution where they keep forty percent of their income while the balance goes to the establishment. So what's my point?

Again, I question whether the income derived from expensive drinks are reported at the'end of the year. How much of the cost of these drinks actually accrue to the business establishment when it is split at the end of the night? Does management report it in its tax form at the end of the year? Please tell this scribe the answer is ;n the affirmative. Mind you, it is another leak that needs surveillance and close scrutiny. Sorry Revenue and Tax. It was never my intention to pu~ you to work but someone has got to plug these leaks. It's our collective loss against unscrupulous businessmen, right? Plug 'em up fellas!

**** These days, tnere' s an increase in the number of throw-net fishennen slowly

treading the shorelines fronting the Philippine Seas. For the seasoned few, it is usually a good day along the shore. For novices, it's actually a· good training session learning t'1e an old trait that once belonged to our grandparents. And it is encouraging that young people are into this fonn of fishing. It's a thousand percent better than peddling dope and shabu.

One fine afternoon, one of the throw-net fishermen was seen gather­ing his net in the water. He picked the whole thing up and headed straight to his car and dumped into his trunk. A friend of his saw him and quizzed why didn't he take out the fish from his net. Said he: "You know, I came here to catch fish for my family. If I take them out from the net, the guys would ask for some and it is very humiliating turning down good friends. So to ensure that my family eats fish this evening, thi.s is the only sure way of doing it by taking out the fish from the net in my backyard". Very clever fella!

**** I used to get a good chuckle at the Division of Public Health's campaign on

prostate cancer, you know, the "dikiki' na bola yan i dafigkulo na bola", puru ha' pot balabo!a? It certainly gets the message across loud and clear! How about a simple message that prostate cancer kills, therefore, guys must see a doctor especially those who are forty years and older? Cite statistics and leave out the music, please? .

I mean each time that jingle gets in the air, I'd do the mini-twist in my truck going for my "dikiki na bola yan dafigkulo na bola" saying "how's it guys?-Any of you contracted the disease, yet?" I hate that message, you know, the "dikiki' na bola yan dafigkulo an bola". Sounds like a bunch of balls tumbling down from Mt. Tagpochau and we must all head for cover.

My opinion about the jingle should be inconsequential. Guys, get your annual physical-before yQu get balled by your balls. It's a serious disease and the medical profession has yet to find a cure. So find time and get your physical soon! Don't wait 'til you join the chorus. Do it (low!

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND

Reagan administration probed travel office WASHINGTON-While the Clinton adminis­tration is still being called on the carpet for the 1993 ''Travelgate" scandal, previously undis­closed documents show that the Reagan admin­istration swept a similar fiasco under the rug just before leaving office in 1989.

GOP lawmakers -glossed over the documents during a recent hearing of the House Govern­ment Refonn Committee, in which the Clinton White House was lambasted for its mismanage­ment of the White House travel office. Yet the documents help buttress Democratic claims that the travel office was in disarray long before Clinton's election, and that the Reagan adminis­tration bungled its own probe of the office.

The new information also casts a negative light on Billy R. Dale, the former director of the travel office who is currently on trial for alleg­edly embezzling $68,000 from the office. Dale's attorney did not return a call seeking comment.

Adrninistration officials admit they erred in May 1993 when they fired Dale and six of his employees for alleged improprieties. An inter­nal review later chastised the White House for contacting the FBI about the case. The adminis­tration had also tried to install Clinton cousin Catherine Cornelius as the new director of the office and attempted to steer its business to a company that was partially owned by Clinton . crony Harry Thomason.

White House bungling notwithstanding, the fact remains that there were serious problems in the travel office. And the Clinton administration tried-albeit sloppily-to clean up the mess. The documents we've obtained show that the Reagan administration found an easy way to keep its travel office flare-up off the front pages: It simply covered it up.

In January 1989, Dale made a startling admis­sion to Reagan administration officials. He con­firmed that staffers in his office-and through­out the White Housr -rQ.utinely accepted gifts from a contractor doing business with the travel office. But even though the gifts appeared to violate federal law the Reagan administration closed its investigation.

The investigation was launched after a "con­cerned citizen" wrote an unsigned letter to our office and the General Accounting Office in late 1988. The writer alleged that White House staff­ers were accepting gifts from Pan American World Airways, which provided air travel for journalists covering the Reagan administration. Federal law and White House regullttions forbid executive-branch employee from accepting gifts

from individuals and companies that do busi­ness with their office or agency.

The letter charged that staffers at the White House Travel Office, of Administration, Press Office and Counsel's Office had been "guests of I Pan American at sporting events at the Capitol I Center, Robert F. Kennedy Stadium and at fish- .. · ing parties on the Chesapeake Bay."

GAO officials referred the letter to the White 'i

House counsel's office, where Associate Coun- j · sel C. Dean McGrath passed the issue to ·two ' White House investigators-Charles Easley and ,;

. GeorgeSaunders-whointerviewedDaleabout : the allegations. A Jan. 5, 1989, White House f memo from Saunders, reviewed by our associ- .1 ate Ed Henry, suggests that Dale was shocked by .· the implication that his office only accepted · gifts from Pan Am. The truth, Dale offered, was that several companies routinely provided free­bies.

"Dale stated (that) all themajorairlines, United, American, Continental, etc., including Pan Am, make available tickets to his office for sporting events being held in the area," the memo states. "In those cases when no !me on his staff cares to use these tickets, he will make calls to different ;, offices in order to make these tickets available." 1 ·

The memo continued: "Dale stated (that) each f · September, Pan Am sponsors fishing parties in \ which they make spaces available to a number . of different transportation offices in the (Wash- \·. ington) area for this excursion. Dale stated be generally receives 4 or 5 invitations and handles I them the same way he handles the sporting event ,

1 tickets." Committee Democrats also question whether

Dale violated federal statutes protecting whistle­blowers from retaliation. The memo notes that Saunders and Easley told Dale that the original I letter was apparently "written by someone on · his staff Dale concurred and feels he knows the identity of the individual. Dale has been dissat­isfied with this individual's performance and is seriously considering terminating his employ­ment."

McGrath told us he has no .. specific recollec- ·· tion" of why the investigation was closed before / the Reagan administration left office. :\

"No one was put under oath, no neutral party' was asked to investigate," said Rep. Cardiss Col~!ns, D-,Ill. the top Democrat on ~e commit- i tee. No referral wasmadetotheJusuceDepart-j ment ... even though that is required by federal,· law whenever there is evidence of criminal!

.1..1.c:u.~Ul.l W .ltll \JU8lll THE COMMONWEALTH H~th Center needs to push ahead with the institution of a medical liaison program with Guam.

Doctors Marty Rohihlger and Beth Fox, of CHC's medical af­fairs, said the program would fa­cilitate transfer of care of CNMI patients in situations where addi­tional testing or services are re­quired.

In their report submitted to Pub­lic Health Secretary Dr. Isamu J. Abraham, the doctors also ex­pressed the medical staff's desire to have the in-house guidelines for off-island referral get approval from Governor Froilan Tenorio and be placed in the registrar.

They said this will decrease the confusion about the medical re­ferral program and help to insure fairness in how the funds are dis­tributed.

. With regards to ancillary ser­vices, the medical affairs ex -

plained that physicians rely daily on the services provided by other departments, such as laboratory and phannacy.

Physicians continue to work under l~ss than optimal condi­tions, with the laboratory hours shortened, tests curtailed and without a pathologist on i~land, the doctors said.

They said pharmacy also has shortened the hours it is open to the public and several important medicines continue to be ·out of stock. .

"We support the efforts of the staff in these departments and hope for an early end to the prob­lems that directly affect our ser­vice to the CNMI people," said the doctors.

We need to increase the number of FTE's allotted to the medical staff and recruit to adequately staff each de­partment. (FDT)

potential solutions is to require the manpower agencies to screen applicants' experience and capa­bility and to be willing to remove any nurse who cannot perform adequately .

Worlcer clearance from the Philip­pine Overseas Employment Admin­istration is a requirement imposed by the Manila government on departing overseas contract worlcers (OCWs).

The POEA proce:dure has been deemed by the RP government as imperativeforworkermooitoringand security p~. By going through POEA, worlcers can also avail of certain benefits.

But since the RP government or­dered a ban on domestic, nightclub and farm worlcers early this year, the CNMI government has not seen the point behind the POEA requirement asitpertainstothebannedcategories.

SinceJune 19CJ5,theCNMlstopped requiring POEA certification on worlcers from the Philippines, as a matter of policy.

According to Aloot, the inclusion of POEA certification in theCNMI' s listof requirementsforworlrerswould be anchored on the partial lifting of the ban.

"As a practical matter, they (RP government) has a lot of authority to :,!

assist the host country in protecting ft their citizens, "said Aloot !:/,

"Once they lift the ban, we become full partners in protecting theirworlc­ers over here," said the acting AG, referring to the full implementation of the POEA clearance process.

Aloot noted that the planned phase by phase lifting of the ban has been assured by the recent mission headed by POEA ·deputy Administrator ,

Gonzalo T. Duque. \i··,·. However, adraft~talor-der lifting the. ban on certain catego­ries still remains llllSigned by RP Labor and Employment Sec. Jose \ Brillantes.

Last week, Lt. Gov. Jesus C. Borja indicated his disapointrnent at how the ban continues to re­main in place despite assurances that it will be lifted in certain cat­egories.

Aloot said there is indeed a con­cern on the CNMI side in that it has tried in good faith to negotiate a return to normal labor relations with the Philippines.

Sailor, 82, rescued in Pacific SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (AP) • An 82-year-old man trying to fulfill his lifelong dream of sail­ing from San Diego to Honolulu was headed for shore Saturday after days unconscious and adrift in the Pacific Ocean.

Kirk Lightbourne, a piano tuner and former big-band trumpeter

. from Scottsdale, was rescued a day earlier by two fisherman and the Coast Guard.

Lightbourne told the Coast Guard he set sail in his 27-foot (8.2-meter) boat on Nov. 20 and was about 1,000 miles (1806 ki­lometers) offshore when a storm arose on Nov. 28.

After nearly falling overboard, Lightbourne took off his wet clothes and, dazed, decided to go below. That's when he fell down­stairs and was knocked uncon­scious, the Coast Guard .said.

Fiji govt to review its media law THE Fiji cabinet has ap­pointed a thrc;e member sub­committee to review the country's media laws.

The committee comprises information minister Ratu Etuate Tavai and two former predecessors, Ratu Josefa Dimuri and Ratu Inoke Kubuabola.

Radio Fiji reports the cabinet's decision to appoint to a sub-committee follows a review of the media by the ministry of information which is reported to have looked at foreign ownership and getting the media to be more respon-sible. ·

The cabinet sub-committee will look at the media laws of Australia, Ne}V Zealand, Brit­ain and some Asian countries.

Information minister Ratu Etuate Tavai has told the cur­rent session of parliament that the government is concerned at the publication of confiden­tial reports which he claims were illegally obtained by the media.

Radio Fiji says another is­sue of concern to the govern­ment is editorial opinion ex­pressed in foreign owned newspapers.

The Rupert Murdoch owned Fiji Times is the only foreign­owned newspaper in Fiji and has been at loggerheads with the government over public issues such as the scandal sur­rounding the state-owned Na­tional Bank of Fiji ... '. .... Pacnews

"They described my dad's condi­tion as nearly dead," said Lightbourne' s son, Michael.

The fishermen took Lightbourne aboard their boat and the Coast Guard parachuted in four paramedics and later transferred him to a cutter for

the trip home. Due to reach shore Saturday night,

he was to be hospitalized for several days.

"He told us he loved us over the radio from the boat, so I have no complaints," said Michael

Sinatra: Less takes the better By BOB THOMAS

LOS ANGELES (AP) - During his film career, his detractors carped that Frank Sinatra hurried through his work, defying direc­tors who requested more time for the scenes.

"'He had something of a reputa­tion for not taking his films seri­ously, for refusing rehearsals and not liking more than one or two takes," says Charles Champlin, longtime film critic for the Los Angeles Times, now retired.

"That is very misleading. Sinatra was a very good actor who knew how he worked best. He believed that with more re­hearsals and more takes he would lose his spontaneity. He knew rightfully that he was at his best on the first take. He had a wonder­ful kind of naturalness. A remark­able actor."

Sinatra, who was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, celebrates his 80th birthday Tuesday. His 60-year career has been adorned

with success in both music and film.

George Sidney, who directed Sinatra in his first hit, "Anchors Aweigh" (1945), and "Pal Joey" (1957) agrees:

"Ifhe wanted one or two takes, what's wrong with that? Horowitz played an hour-and-a-half in con­certs without going back and cor­recting a note or a passage he thought he could do better."

As with his personal life, Sinatra's half-century career in films was marked by conu:oversy and discord. At· times, he was king of the hill; at other times, he was on the skids. His battles with meticulous directors became leg­endary. He was.known to walk off sets when additional takes were requested.

Sinatra's film career began modestly in the early 1940s, after he had risen to prominence as a singer with the Tonuny Dorsey band. The early movies were for­gettable musical melanges: "Las Vegas Nights," "Ship Ahoy," "Reveille With Beverly."

After the singer left Dorsey and become a bobby-sox idol on his own, RKO starred him in two modest musicals, "Higher and Higher" and "Step Lively." His film career didn't take off until MGM signed him to a contract and combined him with Gene Kelly and Kathryn Grayson in "Anchors Aweigh."

Sinatra thrived at MGM, then the Tiffany's of musicals. "It Happened in Brooklyn" (Grayson, Jimmy Durante) and two more pairings with Kelly, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and "On the Town" proved suc­cessful. His only stumble was "The Kissing Bandit," for which

he was ridiculed years afterward. The singer suffered a fall from

grace in the early 1950s. His fans were disillusioned when he left his wife and three children to pur­sue a tempestuous affair with the late Ava Gardner. His throat hem­orrhaged in 1952, reducing The Voice to rasping imitation.

After MGM dropped him, Sinatra made two lesser films, "Double Dynamite" (with Jane Russell and Groucho Marx) and "Meet Danny Wilson" (Shelley Winters). His agency, MCA, can­celed his contract, and the film trade figured he was washed up.

They overlooked Sinatra's Ital­ian tenacity.

After reading James Jones' "From Here to Eternity," Sinatra concluded that the role of Maggio, the well-liked soldier murdered by Fatso Judson, was tailor-made for him. Even though Harry Cohn had been a friend, the Columbia Pictures boss refused to cast a faded singer in the dramatic role.

"I' 11 pay you if you let me play the role," Sinatra pleaded.

Cohn was adamant. Eli Wallach was set for Maggio, then dropped out for a play. Only when Ava Gardner, who by then was Sinatra's wife (they were married from 1951 to 1957), made a per­sonal plea did Cohn relent. He would pay only dlrs 1,000 a week for eight weeks, a frac­tion of Sinatra's earlier film salary. It was a blow to Sinatra's already bruised pride. Maggio brought Sinatra the Academy Award for best supporting actor of 1953. He was back on top.

And he proved an amazingly versatile star. He showed his dramatic skills with "Sud-

Frank Sinatra

denly," "The Man With the Golden Arm" (Academy Award nomination), "Some Came Running" and "The Manchurian Candidate." He continued with musicals: "Guys and Dolls," "High So­ciety," "Pal Joey," "Can-Can." And comedies: "The Tender Trap," "A Hole in the Head," "Come Blow Your Horn."

He also proved adept at ad­venture _ "The Pride and the Passion," "Never So Few," "Von Ryan's Express," "As­sault on a Queen." And in later years, crime _ "Lady in Ce­ment," "Tony Rome," "The Detective."

"He was a natural personal­ity," Sidney says. "No matter what he played, he was al­ways Frank Sinatra, just as Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy were always themselves.

"His secret was complete con­centration on what he was do­ing. There were no heights he couldn't reach, not much he couldn't do if he put his mind to it."

Ron Silver lobbied for role in TV n1ovie 'Kissinger and Nixon'

By LYNN RaER LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ron Silver lobbied with a politician's zeal for the role of Henry Kissinger in the new TV film "Kissinger and Nixon."

"Yau don't see a script like this very often," Silver said.

The Turner Network Television movie spotlights President Richard Nixon and his national security adviser in their machinations to finish the Viet­narn War.

"It was a very sophisticated text that dealtinaprofoundway,particularlyfor · television or the movies, with a very complicated and serious event - the endgame of the negotiations in Viet­nam." Silver said.

The movie, based on Walter Isaacson's best-selling biography, ex­amines the period August 1972 to Janu­ary 1973 as the United States and Viet­nam grappled for a political end to the war - and as Nixon campaigned for re­election.

Personalities, policy and ambition collide, sometimes openly, sometimes under layers of secrecy that historians such as Isaacson are beginning to strip away.

Silver plays opposite Beau Bridges as Nixon in the film debuting tonight on the cable channel -emerging the same month as Oliver Stone's theatrical re­lease ''Nixon" to create a mini Nixon film festival.

Both Silver and Bridges were trans­fonned for their roles by mask-and­makeup artisay; Silver adds an un­cannyimpressionofKissinger' sfreight­train rumble of a voice. · Also featured are Matt Frewer as Gen. Alexander Haig, George Takei as North Vietnam's foreign minister Le Due Tho and Ron WhiteasNixonchief of staff H.R. Haldeman.

The close but wary relationship be­tween Nixon and Kissinger, who later served as secretary of state, is the stuff of great drama, Silver believes.

"In some ways there was a tremen­dous amount of respect and disrespect they had for each other," he said. "I think Oaud.ius said of Hamlet 'mad­ness in great ones must not unwatched go.'

"I think at some point Kissinger was . , very protective because he saw ibis

downward spiral that Nixon was on," Silver said of the president eventually forced from office by the Watergate scandal.

The actor already has proven him­self adept at rendering a real-life char­acter, playing a memorably feisty law­yer Alan Dershowitz in the film "Re­versal of Fortune."

When it came to "Kissinger," Silver's ipterest was excited by more than writer-producer Lionel Chetwynd's solid script: He was a student of politics who had consid-

ered a CIA career and was an ad­mirer of Kissinger's skills.

"My graduate studies were involved in geopolitical strategies and foreign affairs, so I was very familiar with Kissinger's work before I became an actor," he said.

"So this is something I had been doing for my pleasure in my leisure time. It was nice to many what I do professionally with my avocation."

Silver prepared carefully for the role -and for meetings with Kissinger, whom he knew socially and whose perspec­tive he sought in two lunch meetings.

"Knowing Kissinger, I tried to do my homework as best I could," Silver recalled. He read Kissinger's writings as well as books by Nixon and admin­istration figures, including Haig and Haldeman .

"I re-created a calendar for those six months in '72. I put everybody's recollections of what happened each day on the calendar, in different ink," he said.

All the players, Silver found, agreed · on the facts. "But what's interesting is the subjective interpretation of what was said to whom, what was the tone, and what it led to."

Kissinger apparently didn't take the film lightly. He sent Silver a 44-page letter backed up by what the actor describes as "300 pages of appendices and material."

Ebola outbreak feared in Africa By TINA SUSMAN

GOZON, Ivory Coast (AP) -Af­ter a25-year-old Liberianman was diagnosed with Ebola, French medical specialists anived in this secluded village to prevent the deadly virus from spreading.

The patient, whose name has not been divulged. has been isolated in

a white tent marked "No visitors" in the Gozon clinic. Heavy black plastic sheeting was draped around the tent, and onlookers were kept away.

His is .the first case diagnosed since Ebola killed 244 people ear­lier this year.

Institute in Paris confirmed Friday that the man had Ebola. It is not known what causes the virus, and there is no cure for it.

The virus is spread through bodily fluids, such as blood and saliva, or from the corpse of an Ebola victim to those handling it

The W odd Health Organization said Friday that the man seemed to be recovering from the virus, which has an 80 percent fatality rate.

French health workers from the aid agency Doctors Without Bor- · ders, which runs the clinic, refused to·provide any1 more information Saturday.

There were unconfirmed reports that medical personnel who treated the man also had been placed in isolation.

The WHO and the Ivorian gov­ernment are calling the Ebola case anisolatedincich:nt, unlike the May outbreak i.n K.ikwit, Z.aire, which

. afflicted 315 people, killing 244. That outbreak put governments

throughout west Africa on alert. Ivory Coast authorities responded quickly when the Liberian arrived in Gozon last week with Ebola symptoms, which include severe vomiting, diarrhea and fever.

.The French ~pecialists from WHO and the Pasteur Institute ar­rived within 24 hours after Ebola was confirmed here, and were quickly supplied with goggles,

·. masks, gloves and rubber boots .before they went in to see the pa­tient.

They refused to speak to jour­nalists, and it was unclear if there were any plans to quarantine the village or block access to the clinic. Their most difficult task will be trying to trace the Ebola victim's movements in Liberia, where a six-year civil war has wrecked most of the villages and forced more than 1 million people from

their homes. Trying to track down other po­

tential Ebola victims in those con­ditions would be virtually impos­sible, unless they d9 as the current victim did and get themselves to a hospital.

The virus has appeared only spo­radically since first being identi­fied in 1976, but its high fatality rate, painful symptoms and pro­pensity to spread quickly make it one of the most dreaded maladies.

Gozon, a town of32,000 people, is down a dirt road about 20 kilo­meters ( 12 miles) from the Liberian border and some 450 kilometers (280 miles) west of Abidjan, the capitaloflvoryCoastNearlyallits residents are Liberians who fled their country's civil war.

The clinic at Gozon serves them and tens of thousands of others living in nearby refugee villages.

It appeared to be business as usual attheclinicSaturday. Access to the crowded village of stick­and-muddwellings and totheclinic was unimpeded, and scores of people sat around the facility wait­ing to be treated.

"We know it is a disease, we know certain people get it, and we know it spreads," said David Brown, one of the waiting patients,

when asked if he had heard of Ebola

But he and others said they had not been told the virus was in the village and did not know how to avoid infection. .

Outside the clinic a group of men drinking beer expressed shock . when told they were st.anding not far from where an Ebola patient was being treated.

"Are you going to take him' away'r' one of the men, Alexander Tubman, asked a reporter.

Amassivepubliceducationcam­paign, including door-to-door vis­its by health worlcers, was credited with quickly ending the Kikwit crisis.

The Ivorian government, anx­ious to prevent panic, has launched no such campaign in Gozon.

It is doubtful that a serious Ebola outbreak could occur here, in part because of medical workers' fa­miliarity with the virus in the wake of publicity about Kikwit. They also have seen Ebola before, in a Swiss woman who contracted it in Ivory

Perhaps most important, Ivory Coast's health facilities are far su­perior to those in Z.aire, where hos­pitals lack basic supplies such as gloves and masks.

Nurses die in grenade attack on a hospital BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -Two nurses died in a grenade attack at a hospital in Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi, the aid agency Doc­tors Without Borders said.

The attack Saturday on the Rwagasore hospital came amid continued fighting in the Central African nation be­tween the Tutsi-dominated army and rebels from the Hutu ethnic group ..

Doctors Without Borders said most patients fled after the explo­sion. Only seven remained, in­cluding three children. a state-

mentfromtheintemationalmedi- · cal aid group said.

Most of the wounded there are victims of fighting around the capital, which flared last· month and has intensified in the past few days.

On Friday, the U.S. State Department condemned a re­ported massacre of 430 civil­ians by the Burundi military outside Bujumbura. The inci­dent is believed to have taken place Nov. 14.

No further information was immediately available about the dead.nurses.

After 6 years befriending serial killer

Detective solves five Dlurders By LISA HOLEWA

LARGO, Florida (AP) · Se­rial killer Anthony LaRett'e made one request when he last met with sheriff's Detective Patricia Juhl. He wanted his ashes scattered from a pier_ overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

Two weeks later, the state of Missouri injected LaRette with a deadly dose of chemi­cals for slashing th_e throat of a 18-year-old woman.

His corpse remains refrig­erated in a Missouri mortu­ary. But Juhl, who spent six years eliciting LaRette' s con­fessions to dozens of other slayings and attacks, knows what she would do if his ashes appeared on her doorstep.

"If a container showed up some day, I guess I'd look at it

as I'll do this because of the information he did provide," she said.

Besides this obligation, LaRette left Juhl with mul­tiple stories of women he raped, beat and murdered as he drifted across the country in the late 1970s.

Some details were so vivid and accurate that Juhl was able to solve five murders 1n Florida and elsewhere. Others had only tantalizing tidbits, clues of crimes Juhl is sure LaRette committed, but with­out the specifics investigators need to close the crimes.

"To a certain degree, he used me and I used him," Juhl, 47, said in an interview at the Pinellas County Sheriff's de­partment two days after LaRette's Nov. 29 execution.

"He needed a friend. I needed information." Juhl was a junior homicide detective when she met LaRette in March 1989 through round­about circumstances.

A few weeks earlier, Juhl had helped solve a double murder with Richard Lee, in­vestigator for the Cole County, Missouri, prosecutor.

Lee had known LaRette since Oct. 27, 1988, when the inmate, already -sentenced to die for killing young Mary Fleming in 1980, called him from out of the blue and began confessing to other crimes. Lee kept up the visits, hoping to learn more. He always started with small talk.

"So I mentioned this gal in Florida that was real nice, and said I'd really like to do some-

thing nice for her," Lee re­called.

"LaRette said, 'Maybe we could do that. Maybe we could clear up some murders up there for her."'

So Juhl made her first of six trips to Missouri. She remi­nisced about Florida parks and groves with LaRette, who lived in St. Petersburg from age 5 to 16. Later, as a drifter, he often returned.

Juhl, who grew up in Ohio, sometimes faked the details. She was rewarded when LaRette described the day in 1976 when he killed 52-year­old Betty Brunton with a bayonet he found hanging on the wall of her St. Petersburg home.

LaRette had been roaming that day; Betty Brunton had

just walked home for lunch from the nearby cemetery where she worked. LaRette said he was only planning a burglary, but Brunton walked in.

"That's how he told me when he would confess certain things - making it appear like less than it was," Juhl said. "All his murders were very detailed. I'm sure he relived them a lot when he was there in prison."

In the Brunton case, LaRette drew a map of the woman's · regular route home. He de­scribed the layout of her home, right down to the shade of car­peting and placement of her Early American furniture.

In another St. Petersburg case, he described the blood­soaked flower-print sheets on the bed where he beat Helen Hall to death with a lamp in 1978. He was never tried, but police closed the case based on his information. In a letter written weeks after their. first meeting, LaRette explained why he chose to share his secrets with the Florida detective.

"This letter is som~hing I never thought I would do. I fought against your (profes­sion) for so long," LaRette wrote May 3, 1989.

"But I seen something in your eyes that first time. I seen in your eyes and speech that I could trust you somewhat. You are still the law and I know that you'll do your job. But there also is a heart in Pat that does care."

In all, LaRette claimed knowledge of 31 murders, rapes or attacks in 11 states. Kansas and Florida charged LaRette, but never sought his extradition from Missouri.

"My whole attitude with him was it's worth it if I can solve these. crimes or help re­solve these families' emo­tions," said Juhl, who has sev­eral binders filled with letters and maps from LaRette.

Most of his maps include his signature at the bottom and brief penciled descriptions such as "young woman, 1979. 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. Rape."

One includes the victim's height, weight and what he stole from her. He also sent Juhl a sketch he did of her and a penciled self-portrait.

Juhl paused before answer­ing whether LaRette regarded her as his friend.

"Yeah, he considered me a friend," she said finally.

"He wasn't my friend. But .. . I do respect the man for giving up what information he did," she said. "Because he· could have went to his execu­tion never opening his mouth."

STELLA WILDER

YOUR BIRTHDAY By Stella Wilder

Born today, you are a complex individual with many secret de­sires, and your ideas are not al­ways accessibte to those around you. Indeed, you often seem to head off in new directions, eager to reach a destination that others have not even 'dreamed about. A thinker and a doer, you strive to maintain a balance between mind and body just as you insist on an equal measure of thought and ac­tion in your life. You are not likely to do things the easy way, but you also avoid taking on added difficul­ties.

You use your unique brand of creativity to accomplish unusual tasks, and your life will be punctu­ated by many moments of person­al triumph which spring directly from your own character and skills. You have the makings of a fine teacher or a responsible par­ent.

Also born on this date are: Fiorello La Guardia, New York City mayor; Teri Garr and Don­na Mills, actresses; Tom Hay­den, activist and politician; Jer­maine Jackson, singer; Rita Moreno, singer and actress; Car­lo Ponti, producer; Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, author.

Beer bottles, coins fly into ring in protest of boxing de.cision STIJ'ITGART, Germany (AP) -Frans Botha of South Africa won a controversial split decision over Axel Schulz Saturday to take the vacant IBF light heavyweight title.

Outraged Gennan fans flung coinsandbeerbottlesintotheringat the decision. Two of three judges had ruled in favor of the oobeaten Botha.

The bout pitted the top two chal­lengers for the IBF crown given up George Foreman, whose last fight was a controversial win over 12 rounds against Schulz.

Botha, who now lives in New­port Beach, California, entered the fight with a 35-0 record and 21 knockouts, buthadn 't faced any big names.

But Botha, whose next fight may be against Mike Tyson, is unlikely to si­lencecriticsofhisability. The man who has nicknamed hirnself"the white buf­falo," proved to be an easy target to hit

Buthealso threw more punches than his 27-year-old GemJan opponent

''I can ooderstand the disappoint­ment of the public_ but their reaction was just an emotional outburst,'·' said Botha's promoter, Don King. ''But

· when you look at the fight obj~vely, you can see Botha deserved to win."

Neither fighter was in danger of hitting the canvas. Botha often stood in the middle of the ring, his hands low­ered like his idol Muhammed Ali, dar­ing the light-hitting Schulz to hurt him

But Schulz, with only IO knockouts in his 21-3-1 record, laclced the punch

to threaten the South African. He taggedBothawithseveralstiffrights, but barely jarred his opponent.

Butalongwilhmanyofthe 11,CXX> Germans in attendance, tlrJ:e were others who thought Schulz had hit Botha enough to win the fight

'The decision is a scandal." said Wtlfried Sutherland, Schulz's pro­mottt, but admitted, "Schulz was too tight aoo boxed too little."

Botha was the one that carried the fight, steadily piling up points with both hands against Schulz, who fought out of a peek-a-boo styleaoo attacked in short flwries.

Botha appeared exhausted at the end of the sixth rowxl, when he threw a couple or roundhouse
