From Associated Press reports
BEIRUT, Lebanon A lone
assassin using a silencer-equipped
pistol killed the French military
attache outside the French Embassy
Thursday. It was the latest of a series
of terrorist attacks on French targets
here and in Paris.
Anonymous telephone callers in
Lebanon and France claimed
responsibility for the assassination in
the name of two obscure groups and
threatened further blows. One
demanded release of an alleged
terrorist jailed in France.

Entrepreneurs looking for large
amounts of money to start their
businesses have not traditionally
found a receptive North Carolina
financing community. That is slowly
changing, though, according to
David Vorhoff, vice president of the
NCNB Investment Banking
Company.
"We tend to find North Carolina
an attractive place for people to
invest," said Vorhoff. "There are a
number of purchasers and potential
buyers looking for opportunities."

provides many sound opportunities.
But for businesses seeking money,
the prospects are not as good.
Martin rejects plea off death row inmate
From Associated Press reports
RALEIGH Gov. Jim Martin
refused to stop the execution of John
William Rook, 27, of Clayton, who
is scheduled to die at 2 a.m. Friday
for killing a Raleigh nurse, unless the
Supreme Court intervenes.
Rook would be the third person
executed in North Carolina in two
years. He is scheduled to be executed
by lethal injection. His lawyer, David
Rudolf of Durham, said after an
hour-long conversation with his
client that Rook was "in good spirits,
given the situation, and we're still
hoping the Supreme Court will do
the right thing."

approached him.
They said the attacker shot Gou

escaped in a waiting green BMW.
Police described the gunman as a
tall, dark-complexioned man wear
ing a white shirt and beige trousers
and believed to be in his late 20s.
Goutierre had parked his car
outside the embassy's security zone,
which extends 100 yards around the
four-story building and is patrolled
by embassy guards and Lebanese
police. There was no immediate
explanation why he did not park in
the security zone.

Rook's lawyers have asked the
high court to stop the execution at

Goutierre had been stationed in
Beirut since October 1984.
France, like most Western coun
tries, had moved its embassy to
Christian East Beirut from the
Moslem western sector two years ago
because of frequent kidnappings and
bombings. Switzerland and Greece
are the only Western countries that
still have embassies in West Beirut.
The first claim of responsibility
came from an anonymous telephone
caller to a Western news agency in
Beirut. He said the assassination was
carried out on behalf of the Revenge
and Justice Front, previously
unknown.

For Intersouth, attractive deals
meet some general criteria. A com

have a management team or clear
technical skills, provide a marketable
product and show explosive growth
potential.
Intersouth has invested an average
of $450,000 per venture money
that comes from a fund comprised
of limited partners such as institu

expect a return on their investment
when they exit the company in five
to seven years.

"After hearing from the attorneys
for John William Rook and other

consideration to all matters and

is my decision not to grant the
petition for commutation or reprieve

degree murder of Ann Marie
Roche," Martin said in a statement.

Later, a caller to a Western news

viously in rocket and bombing

Eventually, Intersouth hopes busi

U.S will ask for Daniloff
From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON Secretary of
State George P. Shultz will confront
Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A.
Shevardnadze Friday with a demand
to free American reporter Nicholas
Daniloff, and is ready to cut short
their summit planning session unless
he gets a satisfactory reply, U.S.
officials said.
In Moscow, however, Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev on Thurs
day denounced the correspondent
for U.S. News & World Report as
a spy and suggested the United States
had exploited the case to try to spoil
superpower relations.
As tensions rose, the Soviets
exchanged barbs with the Reagan
administration Thursday over a U.S.
order that 25 Soviet diplomats
assigned to the United Nations leave
the country by Oct. 1.
Shevardnadze, arriving at
Andrews Air Force Base on the eve
of the two-day meeting with Shultz,

Reagan denounces Democrats
From Associated Press reports
MONTGOMERY, Ala. Pres
ident Reagan, campaigning across
the Deep South, accused Democrats
on Thursday of "political shenani

arrogance and the abuse of power"
in Louisiana.
In a 10-hour sweep through the
two states, Reagan hit Democrats
with some of his toughest political
rhetoric. He said losing the Repub
lican majority in the Senate would
stalemate his presidency, confront
ing him with a "totally hostile
Congress."
Stumping in Alabama for Sen.

Democratic Rep. Richard Shelby,
Reagan castigated Democrats for the
political disarray in the governor's
race that has split their party and

It also violates due process of law,

Nuclear waste site questioned
RALEIGH Gov. Jim Martin
is expected to meet with key officials
Friday to discuss the future of the
state's involvement in the Southeast
Compact Commission, according to
Martin's science adviser Earl
MacCormac.
MacCormac says one topic to be
discussed is whether North Carolina
got fair treatment last week when the
commission chose the state to
dispose of low-level nuclear waste
from eight Southern states. The
present dump near Barnwell, S.C.,
is scheduled to close in 1992.
"We are certianly concerned about
attitudes on the compact commis
sion," MacCormac said. "It has not
made life easy for us in North
Carolina in terms of fairness."
Martin is faced with two options:
recommending the state leave the
compact and take care of its own
waste, or remain and dispose of all
the wastes from the eight states in
the compact for 20 years.
boosted Republican election hopes.
In Louisiana, appearing on behalf
of Henson Moore, senate candidate,
Reagan blamed Democrats for the
economic woes of the state where
unemployment has climbed to 13.6
percent.
Outside New Orleans Reagan
said, "We will undertake a high-level
review of America's energy-related
national security concerns.
"America must never again be left
dependent upon unreliable foreign
sources of oil," he said, drawing
cheers from the audience.
Reagan did not spell out details
of the review, but legislators from
oil states say . they recently have
obtained administration backing for
a study of the import fee issue. The
president has opposed such a fee in
the past.

Greg Mosorjak, a senior from
Johnstown, Pa., disagreed. "Nobody
should have to take mandatory drug
tests. Mandatory testing infringes on
personal freedom and violates the
Constitution."
Many students interviewed, like
Andrea Kerner, a senior from
Winston-Salem, support limited
drug testing for those who are
responsible for the lives of others.
"However, I do not think people in
the private sector or school children
should be forced to take drug tests,"
Kerner said.
