I miss Gorby. Watching what could very well be the raising of another Iron Curtain around Russia, I am reminded of a college pro fessor and his lectures on Alek sandr Feodorovich Kerenski. In a short period of time, Kerenski's reign mirrored in many ways that of Mikhail Gorbachev. My insfructor had known Kerenski, the premier of Russia 74 years ago when it last flirted with democracy. His moment on stage was a crucial one. It was 384 years prior, 1533, when a three-year-old became first Tsar of All the Russias. He grew to be Ivan The Terrible.

Through DCI, a division of the State Bureau of Investiga tion, local law enforcement agencies in North Carolina are linked to the National Law Enforcement communications system and the FBI National Crime Information Center, as well as such North Carolina data banks as those maintained by the Division of Motor Vehicles. However, without a criminal justice official having "man agement control" of the com munications computer hook-up, DCI will only allow a user "partial access" to these (Continued On Back Page) 20 Pages Today WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21,1991 20C Per 1 opx Featured In 'Fiddler On The Roof Stephen Fitch and John Calure are shown rehearsing a scene in Fiddler on the Roof, the musical that Tryon Little Theater will present at the Fine Arts Center September 26-29.

A Greensboro developer. Tucker Investment Properties, is about to close on a five-acre tract in the Polk County Indus trial Park.
