Lebanese villagers flee
Israeli artillery barrage
KAFRA, Lebanon Thousands of
villagers fled their homes in southern
Lebanon on Wednesday as Israeli heli
copters rocketed a guerrilla base, and
Shiite Muslim and Israeli soldiers rained
rockets andartilleryshellsoneach other.
On the third day of fighting in south
Lebanon, Lebanese Defense Minister
Michel Murr returned from Damascus
and said Syria had granted his request
for help to cope with the spiraling vio
lence. Syria has 40,000 troops stationed in
Lebanon under a 1976 Arab League
mandate to snuff out the civil war that
ravaged the nation from 1975 to 1990.
But the troops have stayed clear of
south Lebanon to avert a collision with
Israeli soldiers, and there seems no like
lihood now that they will change their
stance.
The fighting, which followed a fatal
attack on an Israeli army post and Israel's
assassination Sunday of Hezbollah
leader Abbas Musawi, fueled tension in
the region before new Arab-Israeli peace
talks open Monday in Washington.
Renewed violence in southern Lebanon
has preceded each round of talks.
Pope praises church
for Solidarity support
DAKAR, Senegal Pope John Paul
II said Wednesday he was proud of the
church support for the Solidarity labor
movement in his native Poland after the
Comm unists sought to crush it a decade
ago.
Responding to a report that he and
former President Reagan formed a se
cret network to help Solidarity after it
was outlawed by communist authori
ties in 1981, he denied that a "formal
alliance" had existed, but said both men
were committed to fighting totalitarian
ism. The pope is on a week-long pilgrim
age to three largely Muslim countries
with tiny Roman Catholic minorities.
Of Senegal's 7.7 million people, 85
percent are Muslim and only 5 percent

Anti-abortionists face
racketeering charges
CHICAGO Calling anti-abortion
protesters "terrorists," a lawyer asked a
federal appeals court Wednesday to
decide whether their protests break rack
eteering and antitrust laws.
The case could have far-reaching
implications in the abortion battle.
An attorney for the National Organi
zation for Women told the three-judge
panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals that the protesters take the law
into their own hands and attempt to
limit abortion by what amounts to re
straint of trade.
"The Supreme Court has said speech
is protected. But when free speech be
comes entwined with an unlawful act,
the protection ends there," said attorney
Fay Clayton. "These people are terror
ists. They have gone far beyond free
speech."
NOW is appealing a lower court's
ruling that anti-abortion protesters do
not violate antitrust laws. A U.S. Dis
trict court judge ruled in May that the
protesters are engaged in political, not
commercial, activity.
Holderman also said racketeering
laws do not apply to the protesters be
cause they are not seeking financial
gain.
Attorneys for Operation Rescue and
other defendants argued their clients
have no economic motive in the pro
tests. They said an economic motive is
a legal requisite for finding that the
protesters broke antitrust and racketeer
ing laws.

Buchanan's strong
ByEricLusk
Slate and National Editor
One day after Pat Buchanan's sur
prising finish in the New Hampshire
primary. President Bush has declared
the 1992 campaign a "new ball game"
and has vowed to fight his feisty Repub
lican challengertoe-to-toe in every state.
Although the president earned 58
percent of the total vote to Buchanan's
40 percent, many political observers
have called the results from New Hamp
shire a strong rebuke of Bush's failures
in domestic policy.
"This real ly shows you that Bush has
a major, major problem," said David
Mason, a political analyst with the Heri
tage Foundation, a conservative think
tank in Washington, D.C.
"A lot of Buchanan voters indicated
that they would vote for a Democrat in
the fall. It's striking to compare this to
Lyndon Johnson, who got knocked out
with a similar performance in 1968."
Bush, openly stunned by the results
from New Hampshire, took a quick
New Hampshire primary fails to produce definite Democratic front-runner
By Anna Griffin
Assistant State and National Editor
Although the New Hampshire pri
maries provided Paul Tsongas with a
major political boost, the first test on the
road to the presidency did little to nar
row the field of candidates vying for the
Democratic nomination.
'The primary did help Tsongas, of
course. But we're not going to see any
immediate impact on the Democratic
field," said Ben Kunzl, a research fel
low at the Hoover Institute in Stanford,
Calif. "Nobody's declaring a nominee,
and nobody's dropping out because of
the New Hampshire results."
When the smoke cleared Tuesday
night, Tsongas had won the primary
with 36 percent of the vote. Arkansas
Gov. Bill Clinton finished second with
26 percent, followed by Sen. Bob Kerrey
with 12 percent, Sen. Tom Harkin with
10 percent and former California Gov.

'The increases are occurring prima

to previous cases being reported in older
populations," he said.
AIDS patients, substance abusers,
malnourished people and the homeless
are considered at highest risk for devel
oping active tuberculosis, because their
weaker immune systems lack the capa
bility to fight the strong bacteria,
Seggerson said.
"If someone who is HIV positive
gets exposed, very likely, they will go
right to the disease," he said. "That is

finish in New Hampshire stuns Bush
campaign swing through Tennessee on
Wednesday in preparation for the up
coming Southern primaries. Some ana
lysts have expressed concern that Bush
will move more to the political right in
an effort to block Buchanan's surge.
"What I don't want to see happen is
for Bush to try to gohard-line conserva
tive,"said N.C. Banking Commissioner
William Graham, who was the chair
man of the state's Bush-Quayle cam
paign in 1988.
"If you start trying to go that route,
you' II hurt yourself in the general elec
tion. I think Bush is on the right track."
Buchanan's startling tally in New
Hampshire has given new life to the
Republican challenger's campaign.
The conservative political commen
tator earned far more votes in the nation's
first presidential test than most of his
supporters had imagined, said Peter
Flaherty, chairman of the Conservative
Campaign Fund.
"I was with Pat (in New Hampshire),
and I never dreamed he'd get 40 per
cent, said Flaherty, a Buchanan sup
Jerry Brown with 9 percent.
Despite Tsongas' victory, he and
Clinton picked up the same number of
delegates nine. And the fact that
Tsongas didn 't post a more overwhelm
ing win could hurt him in coming weeks.
'Tsongas took advantage of an op
portunity while it was there," Kunzl
said. "But Clinton and Kerrey have an
obvious advantage in the South; Tsongas
may not be seeing any more opportuni
ties like this one."
Kunzl said Tsongas won the primary
because New Hampshire voters, who
remembered him from his days as a
U.S. senator from Massachusetts, have
tended to support intellectual candi
dates with concrete solutions.
Despite his strong showing, Tsongas
still should not be considered the front
runner for the nomination, said David
Monroe, a political science professor at
the Universily of New Hampshire.
"Tsongas will not win the nomina
one of the reasons for the increases we
are seeing."
The rate of MDR TB among New
York state prison inmates has risen 900
percent within the last five years, ac
cording to statistics from the New York
Slate Health Department.
"In New York, the rates of TB have
rapidly increased in the inner cities and
in the prison population," said Frances
Tarlton, spokeswoman forthe New York
State Health Department. "We believe
this increase is directly linked to pov
erty, homelessness and HIV infection."

porter. "I thought 30 percent would
have been a victory. George was sent a
message, but I'm not sure he got it."
Mason said while Bush was planning
to attack his GOP nemesis through wide
spread media campaigns in Southern
states, B uchanan would concentrate his
efforts only in a few states. Republican
candidate David Duke, who has gained
spots on a few ballots in Southern states,
could weaken Buchanan's appeal with
conservative Republicans, he said.
"Buchanan's going to ... pick his
battlegrounds, and he's going to try to
score two or three strong showings like
New Hampshire," Mason said.
Graham said Bush's New Hampshire
showing reflected the president's early
struggles to get organized. The
president's camp has suffered without
Lee Atwater, the former GOP head and
a close adviser to Bush and Reagan
during the 1 980s, Graham said. Atwater
died last year.
"We miss Lee Atwater big time," he
said. "There's been a certain amount of
stumbling around (without him).'
tion," he said. "He may force the other
candidates to rethink their positions on
the economy, but he won't win."
The mere fact that Clinton survived
New Hampshire politically unscathed
is victory enough, Kunzl said. Clinton
should regain the top spot in the upcom
ing Southern primaries, he said.
"Clinton certainly is the most mar
ketable candidate in the South," Kunzl
said. "He's good-looking, he's got that
drawl, he's got the money, and he's got
the track record to win a lot of votes."
The poor showings by Harkin and
Kerrey have made the upcoming Maine
caucuses and South Dakota primary
much more important. Either candidate
could face an early exit if he cannot
place higher than third or fourth in the
upcoming tests, Monroe said.
"Kerrey and Harkin need to prove to
potential campaign contributors that
they can win votes," he said.
Brown finished surprisingly high in

others. Family members, prisoners and
nursing home residents are especially
vulnerable to TB infection, according
to the ALA.
The bacteria can live in the body as
long as the immune system is able to
fight it. Even if exposed to the disease
during childhood, it may take 30 years
for it to develop into active tuberculo
sis, said Steve Martin, head of the tuber
culosis control branch of the N.C. Pub
lic Health Department.
Others may be exposed to the bacte
ria and never develop the active dis
ease, he said.
"A lot of the cases we're now getting
in North Carolina are people who were
exposed to TB when they were
younger," Martin said.
North Carolina has not been hit with
widespread cases of tuberculosis, he
said. In 1991, only 624 cases of the
disease were reported.
Tuberculosis advances through two
stages. In the first stage, a person is
exposed to the bacteria, and the im
mune system fights to prevent it from
developing into tuberculosis.
The active disease develops when
the immune system loses the strength
