2The Daily Tar HeelMonday, January 27, 1992 . WORLD BRIEFS Williams hopes to run inspirational campaign! Clintons deny charges of extramarital affairs BOSTON With his wife at his side, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton tried Sunday to answer and move beyond questions about extramarital affairs that have disrupted his Democratic presi dential campaign. Clinton and his wife, Hillary, on Sun day taped an interview for CBS's "60 Minutes" to air after the Super Bowl, virtually guaranteeing them an audi ence of millions. Intheinterview.the Clintons repeated statements that their 16-year marriage had problems in the past, but was now solid. Gov. Clinton "vehemently de nied" an affair with Gennifer Flowers. Flowers, in a paid interview with a supermarket tabloid, says she and Clinton had a 12-year affair. Aides acknowledge that Clinton's success in getting his campaign refo cused on its message hinges on whether he can put the controversy to rest quickly and perform well in New Hampshire's leadoff primary Feb. 18. Settlement controversy threatens Mideast talks JERUSALEM Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamirsaid Sunday the United States should "forget about" a freeze on Israeli settlements. But he claimed Washington had decided to grant Israel vital housing loan guarantees that Shamir seeks for Soviet immigrants. The dispute over settlements has been complicating Middle East peace talks. Another snag developed Sunday when a PLO official said the Palestinians would boycott Tuesday's round unless the Palestinian delegation included Ar abs from east Jerusalem and abroad. The PLO statement threatens chances for progress at the two-day talks and will have a greater impact on the next round of Arab-Israeli negotiations. The United States said it will go forward with the multilateral talks as Secretary of State James Baker pre pared late Sunday to head to Moscow. Shamir's remarks were his first reac tion to Baker's proposal Friday that Israel stop building new homes in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip to gain $10 billion in U.S. aid. U.N., Yugoslavs work to maintain cease-fire BELGRADE, Yugoslavia A se nior U.N. official arrived Sunday to discuss deploying peacekeepers while a cease-fire generally holds. The United Nations has made the deployment of as many as 1 0,000 peace keepers conditional on the effective ness of the truce, in effect since Jan. 3. Marrack Gofllding, the undersecretary-general in charge of U.N. peacekeeping, was met in Belgrade by Yugoslav officials and Col. John Wilson, head of a 50-man U.N. liaison team already in Yugoslavia. Goulding began talks with Branko Kostic, a member of the Serb-dominated remnant of the federal presidency. Since Croatia declared independence June 25, thousands of people have been killed in fighting between Croats and ethnic Serbs backed by the Serb-dominated federal army. The Serbs fear per secution in an independent Croatia. The Associated Press By Anna Griffin Assistant State and National Editor Marcus Williams, a formerUNC stu dent body president and a dark horse candidate in the 1 992 N.C. gubernato rial race, believes the voters are seeking inspiration and strong leadership in the upcoming election. "This young country of ours is in trouble. Many people need some kind of optimism and inspiration," Williams said in a telephone interview. "We're moving toward the 21st century. It's time to change our thinking." Williams, the current director of Le gal Services of Wilmington, said he decided to run for governor last fall in the hopes of resurrecting state pride and improving living conditions for all N.C. residents. Acandidate'sability to inspire, rather than government experience, will be the major characteristic required of the state's next governor, Williams said. "I've been blessed with a great fam ily and some excellent experiences that will give me a perspective that some people have not had," he said. While many political experts are al ready calling the Democratic primary a contest between two men former Gov. Jim Hunt and Attorney General Lacy Thornburg Williams said he can, and will, capture the primary. But the former student body presi dent at both UNC and the University of Minnesota, where he attended law school, recognizes the long road ahead. "I have to be better in every perfor mance, I realize that," he said. "I'm going to utilize the old shoe-leather campaign; I intend to campaign exten sively around the state." Williams said health care has L ) North Carolina emerged as the most important issue to voters. "The average health care bill is $4,200 per family. Sometimes that's half of a person's gross income," he said. " State leaders must take the initiative and force federal lawmakers to pass some form of a comprehensive health bill, Williams said. "The only issue here is who's going to act first," he said. "Are we going to allow people to continue to suffer while we wait for the dinosaur at the national level to move? I don't think we have time for that." Improvements in education could help ensure lasting economic prosper ity for North Carolinians, Williams said. Children must be taught to work hard and set goals in order to compete with Japanese students, he said. "The world is changing rapidly; our children are going to have to strive harder," he said. "If we teach them that early, then it will become natural habit." Economic recovery, likeeducational reform, must take place at the local level first, Williams said. "Economic development ... means transferring some money from unpro ductive state agencies to the local level so people can start creating at that level," he said. The state's growing crime problem can be stopped by improving living conditions in urban areas and by pro viding housing and food for the poor, Williams said. "We want to destroy the incentive for crime," he said. To improve the efficiency of state government, Wil liams has pro posed changing the state constitu tion to allow the governor to ap point the state la borcommissioner, superintendent of public instruction and insurance ( ! Marcus Williams commissioner. Currently, these Council of State positions are filled through statewide elections. Recent scandals have crippled the offices of N.C. Labor Commissioner John Brooks and Insurance Commis sioner James Long. BobEtheridge, state school superintendent, has faced criti cism for his education policies. Will iams said allowing the governor to fill those positions would cut down on cor ruption and help restore public faith in government. While most political experts admit Williams' chances of winning the Democratic primary are slim, thecandi date said he believed voters would rec ognize his strong personal commitment; to improving North Carolina. - -' "I don't view myself as a politician, I view myself as a statesman," he said. "I try to be honest: I am a hard worker; and I'm fun-loving at the same time." Race, a major issue in the 1990 U.S. Senate race between Jesse Helms and former Charlotte Mayor Harvey Gantt', will not play a role in the 1992 guberna torial election, Williams said. "I'm the antidote to that racial poison politics," he said. "When you meet someone who's sincere, I don't care what color they are. You know you can rely on their word. 'Times have changed people want to know what you're going to do and whether or not your loyalties are with the interests of the people," he said. Williams said he would appeal to a variety of voting blocs by organizing a coalition from virtually every racial and socio-economic group. "My coalition will consist of central disciplinarians, thinking moderates, progressives and working people," he said. "I characterize myself as an eclectic."
