2The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, November 19, 1991 V-- I WORLD BRIEFS Kidnappers release two Western hostages DAMASCUS, Syria Shiite Mus lim kidnappers freed British hostage Terry Waite and American Thomas Sutherland on Monday, and Waite said the remaining three Americans held hostage in Lebanon would be released by month's end. 'Terry Waite and I are very happy to have received our first gulps of Leba non and Syrian fresh air but we have to wait to tomorrow to meet the sunshine," said a joyous Sutherland on his arrival. Their release by the group Islamic Jihad, or Holy War, was a dramatic advance toward ending the hostage or deal. The United Nations has been lead ing diplomatic efforts to gain freedom for Western . hostages in Lebanon in exchange for the release of Arab detain ees held by Israel a condition de manded by the kidnappers. Sutherland and Waite had been con sidered key hostages, partly because of the length of time they had been held. ; Their release raised speculation that the ; Israelis may have made a commitment ; to free Sheik Abdul-Karim Obeid, their ;most valuable Shiite prisoner. ; Waite said at a news conference that ; his captors told him before they set him free that American hostages Joseph Ciccipio and Alann Steen would be released within the next five days and Terry Anderson bytheendofthemonth. Stock market stabilizes after Friday's plunge NEW YORK The stock market brushed aside fears of another Black Monday with a 30-point rise in the Dow Jones average. Investors stayed calm despite linger ing doubts about the nation's ailing economy. Lessons learned from past crashes and word from Washington that a con troversial credit-card measure would likely die helped the Dow recoverabout one-quarter of the 120-point plunge. Many of the fears of some traders, economists and legislators were erased at the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange, when the Dow aver age jumped about 20 points immedi ately. Friday's plunge evoked memories of the Oct. 19 crash in 1987, which also was preceded by a major drop on a Friday. Since then, however, regulators and stock exchanges have imposed new rules designed to limit sharp declines. The Associated Press Bush may face conservative challenge By Anna Griffin Staff Writer Republican leaders expressed little concern over rumored presidential cam paigns by conservatives Patrick Buchanan and David Duke, yet the pros pect of a noticeably right-wing chal lenge to George Bush could splinter GOP unity. The rumors concerning Buchanan's candidacy surfaced last week after friends and conservative party activists began organizing a campaign commit tee for the Feb. 18 New Hampshire presidential primary. "His sister has said that he's going to run, said peter Flaherty, chairman of the Conservative Campaign Fund, Analysis IT'S NEW IT'S UNIQUE IT'S DIFFERENT IT'S... Znvlbm'$ Authentic Greek & Italian Specialties The Food TheWine 9The Company Zorba's Cafe Lunch & Dinner 967-55 1 7 1 05 S. Elliott Rd. (by Wellspring) Washington, D.C., political action com mittee. "It's pretty much a given thing that he's running. These aren't just ru mors anymore." Buchanan currently writes a syndi cated national column and serves as a commentator on CNN's "Crossfire." He also worked in the White House as an adviser to former presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon. Duke, who was defeated soundly in his quest for the Louisiana governor's mansion Saturday, did not address na tional aspirations in his concession speech. But the former Ku Klux Klan member and founder of the National Association for the Advancement of White People did suggest he wanted to take his message to a national audience. Many political experts believe Duke will challenge Bush in the 1992 South ern primaries, where the Louisiana na tive has a growing group of supporters. Bush's declining popularity in the wake of a continuing recession has trig gered the recent rumors of a conserva tive challenge in next year's primaries. Some of the more right-wing GOP mem bers would like to see Bush defeated or at least seriously challenged by another Republican candidate, Flaherty said. "Many of the conservatives would love to see Buchanan really embarrass Bush," Flaherty said. "Any kind of cred ible challenge would accomplish that because it would show the president that he hasn't united the party and isn't in total control." But Republican Party leaders ex pressed confidence that Bush will re turn to the White House. "My assumption is that even if some one runs against President Bush it will basically turn out to be no contest," said N.C. Republican Party Chairman Jack Hawke. "He will be the nominee in the general election and will be re-elected." A challenge by Duke or Buchanan will not change B ush's strategy or force him to appease the more right-wing sect of the party, he said. "I think the president will run a cam paign based upon his record as presi dent," Hawke said. "That will not change, no matter who the opponent is. He'll talk about the successes (of his administration) and his hopes for the future, and he will build his campaign on that." National GOP officials claim Bush will receive their full support. "Our nom inee will be George Bush," said GOP deputy press secretary Henry Hall. "It's a free country and (Duke and Buchanan) can run if they want to. But we're totally behind the president." Some independent analysts believe any challenge from conservatives will force Bush to become more aware of the right-wing sect of the Republican Party. Although Buchanan and Duke each rep resent only a small portion of the GOP, either potential candidate could steal the support of die-hard conservative voters away from the president, Flaherty said. "You'll see a much more conserva tive candidate and a more conservative strategy. "Buchanan's campaign is a protest candidacy, but it may be the best organized and highest profile pro test candidacy in years." Although he is known primarily as an ultra right-wing conservative, Buchanan's prominence could help him win voter support among more moder ate GOP members, Flaherty said. "Pat Buchanan has a constituency out there," he said. "People know who he is whether they like him or not. He's better known than Tom Harkin, that's for sure." Intense media coverage of the Loui siana governor's race will help David Duke, Flaherty said. Like Buchanan, Duke has received a great deal of nega tive publicity, he said. "He's gotten a lot of press," Flaherty said. "And in politics, publicity, whether good or bad, helps ... Duke has momen tum going into the primaries." Republican leaders question whether any politician would dare challenge Bush's popularity. "All I've heard has been talk, that's all," Hall said. "(Buchanan and Duke have) both gotten some media atten tion, but they haven't called us."
