Honecker leaves Moscow clinic
Erich Honecker, the 79-year-old former leader of East Germany, left a Moscow hospital yesterday and returned to his refuge in the Chilean Embassy, the medical director of the Botkin Clinic said.
Moscow
Alexander Borodulin, Honecker's doctor,
refused to comment on his patient's health.
Honecker entered the clinic Feb. 24. He reported has cancer.
The hard-line Communist leader stepped down as leader of East Germany in October 1989 after popular protests. He was brought to Moscow last March.
WORLD
Honecker sought refuge in the Chilean Embassy in December after Russia threatened to expel him. He is wanted in Germany on manslaughter charges, and is accused of ordering border guards to shoot those trying to flee East Germany.
Washington
President Bush announced Tuesday that he and Russian President Boris Yeltsin would have their first formal summit meeting June 16 in Washington. They will try to use the two-day meeting to establish new momentum toward eliminating additional thousands of strategic nuclear warheads.
Bush, Boris Yeltsin plan summit
Bush said he and Yeltsin would "get into the nuclear and military questions, and then the joint efforts in support of reform in Russia."
In the post-Cold War era, agreements to reduce nuclear arsenals have been easier to achieve than U.S. commitments for massive nuclear weapons to help Russia stabilize its foundering economy
Yeltin warred Bush that, "if the reform in Russia goes under, the Cold War is going to turn into a hot war."

Serbs call for march on capital
Hundreds of armed Muslims yesterday took up positions on roads into Sarajevo to confront Serbians reportedly moving on the city, the center of a growing ethnic conflict concerning Bosnia-Hercegovina's independence.
A day earlier, Serb militants set up barricades in Sarajevo, the republic's capital, and fired on peace demonstrators.
Radovan Karadzic, leader of Bosnia's Serbians, told Sarajevo television that he called for a march on the city after Muslims allegedly attacked Serbians in the nearby village of Fale.
President Alija Izetbegovic confirmed that Serbians in some surrounding villages were moving. "They want to attack Sarajevo," Izetbegovic said. "If the Serbs are coming, we will not sit with our arms folded."

Azerbaijanis blocked from retrieving bodies
The Associated Press
AGDAM, Azerbaijan — Police said yesterday that they had recovered the bodies of 120 Azerbaijans killed as they fled an Armenian assault in Nagorno-Karabakh, but they said they were being blocked from retrieving more dead.
Armenian officials in Moscow denied claims that about 1,000 people were massacred in the attack last week on the town of Khodzhaly in the disputed region of the Caucasus Mountains.
Riot police patrolled this western Aerbaijani city on the border of Nagorno-Karabakh, and many sat in trucks ready to move to the mountainous combat zone. Khodzhaly lies just a few miles away.
In the latest fighting last night, 30 Armenians were reported killed when a helicopter ferrying women and children from the embattled city of Stephanakert was shot down, and commonwealth military forces halted their pullout from the area. Stephanakert lies 15 miles south-west of Agdam.
The 1,400 commonwealth troops are the last buffer between warring Armenians and Azerbaijanis, whose four-year fight over Nagorno-Karabakh has been the bloodiest of the ethnic conflicts in the former Soviet Union.
Nagorno-Karabakh's population of approximately 200,000 is mainly Armenian. But the region is encircled by Azerbaijani territory and has been administered by Azerbaijan since 1923.
A one-story building next to Agdam's mosque was transformed into a temporary morgue, and four badly mutilated corps lay there last night. A caretaker was identified to be identified before burial.
A police official who would not give his name said they were among 120 corpses recovered from the rolling hills in Nagorno-Karabakh over the last day.
Coffins were stacked up outside the morgue awaiting more bodies, but Sgt. Iligar Aliev, a riot officer, said Azerbaijani officials were having difficulty retrieving the dead. Armenian fighters are demanding gasoline and weapons before allowing the Azerbaijanis to retrieve the bodies. Aliev said.
Feliks Mamikonian, Armenia's diplomatic representative in Moscow, told the Associated Press that a number of massacres were false.
He said Khodzhy, an ethnic Azerbaijani town, was attacked because it was the base for two rocket launchers that had repeatedly shelled the nearby Armenian city of Stepanak.
"There were many armed Azer-

Cuban paper blasts Bush
The Associated Press
In the editorial published Thursday, Bush proclaimed: "The day of the dictator is over, and I am convinced that Castro's days are numbered."
MEXICO CITY — Cuba's Communist Party lashed out at President Bush yesterday, saying his call for political change in the island-nation is the cheap posturing of a desperate candidate.
The party newspaper Gramma said Bush's editorial on Cuba last week in the Miami Herald was a banal campaign ploy to curry favor with right-wing Cuban exiles in Florida and divert attention from U.S. economic woes.
Cuba has sharply rejected all calls to overhaul its communist system. Yesterday, the U.N. Human Rights Commission in Geneva voted 23-8 to renew efforts to send a special rights investigator to Cuba.
The Cuban delegate to the commission, Miguel Alfonso Martinez, described the resolution as a miserable political vendetta organized by the United States. He said the government would not cooperate with the proposed investigation.
Prensa Latina, the official Cuban news agency, carried an unusually lengthy series of dispatches concerning Gramma's
editorial yesterday.
*Gramma*, which is said occasionally to carry editorials directly from President Fidel Castro, said Bush's call for a new political mentality in Cuba was puerile and showed how little the American president knew about the island.
It said Bush erred in thinking the fall of European communism meant Cuban communism also was destined to crumble.
"His words and actions reveal his uncertainty about winning the Republican nomination despite the advantages of incumbency," Grama said. "He has gone from fear to showing signs of panic."

Russian sex shop brings sexual culture to masses
MOSCOW — Russia's first sex shop opened this week, offering exotic oils and ointments and an array of plastic and battery-operated devices designed to help the workers of the world really unite.
Dozens of customers, mostly men, lined up yesterday at the store, which is called "Intim" — short for "intimate." They paid 20 rubles for admission to an inner room decorated with purple satin curtains. In the room stood seven shelves that displayed dozens of imported sex devices, lingerie, inflatable "love dolls," colored condoms and other erotica.
Customers said such a store was long overdue in a society that had an almost puritanical attitude toward sex during the Communist regime. As the Soviet system opened up in recent years, sex manuals and soft-core pornography also emerged for sale in subways and on street corners.
The imported goods were not for direct sale; they
can only be ordered, with a two- to three-week wait that would seem to dampen most spontaneous urges. Most items cost more than the average monthly salary of 960 rubles.
The store's outer room has a counter of cheaper, domestic items, including tampons, shampoo and sex manuals. Tiny rubber "stimulators" were selling briskly at 40 rubles each.
"It looked like a caterpillar twirled by its tail — 'it's for us," said Kostantine, a 31-year-old who was battling cancer. "It's pretty hard."
Both men were disappointed there were no sex magazines.
"There are some things here which we would have liked to buy, things that are not available in drug-stores," said Sergei, who like his friend declined to give his last name. "The rest is just like a show."
"They have condoms, but they cost 900 rubles. It's ridiculous! They can only be used once!" he said.
"We hop not to sex lift toys to people who want to vary their sex life a bit," store administrator Alla
The shop opened Monday in the Medicine and Reproduction Institute in a northern Moscow neighborhood famed for a statue of a rocket ship nicknamed "The Impotent Man's Dream."
Burashnikova said. "Our main task is to get sexual culture across to the masses."
Residents stopped outside on the street said they were unaware of the sex shop, which has been publicized by Russian television and Moscow newspapers.
purashnikova said she did not like the term "sex shot" .she preferred "intimate salon."
Burashnikova said the shop was run by the Medicine and Reproduction Institute and two other associations that offer counseling on sex and venereal disease. She said admission was charged to keep out children below age 18.
"It's really a specialized pharmacy," she said. "We have no purely commercial interests, and we certainly don't want to cause a sensation."
