Clintons: Whitewater investments mostly loan interest payments
THE NEWS in brief
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.
Most of the $68,900 that President and Mrs. Clinton say they put into the Whitewater real estate venture involved interest on loans they took out for the company and were subsequently able to deduct from their personal income taxes.
According to tax records and interviews with Clinton advisers, the Clintons deducted at least $41,000 on tax returns from 1978 to 1988 for interest on loans for Whitewater Development Co. Inc.
The Clintons' prime financial role at Whitewater appears to have been paying this interest for a money-losing company they co-owned with James and Susan McDougal. And like most U.S. citizens who make loan or mortgage payments, the Clintons took the interest deductions.
This may explain why the Clintons never declared a $68,900 capital loss on their income taxes, as some critics have questioned.
Now federal authorities are investigating whether funds of the Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan that James McDougal owned in Arkansas were improperly diverted to other entities, or used to pay political or personal debts of prominent Arkansans, including then-Gov. Clinton.
The Clintons and McDougal have denied wrongdoing.
JERUSALEM
Israelis, Palestinians pursue talks
Israel is seeing progress in its talks with Palestinians,
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said yesterday.
He also called on Syrian President Hafez Assad to meet him "anyplace on earth" to pursue a peace treaty.
Rabin said a Saturday meeting between Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and PLO chairman Yasser Arafat in Norway would yield some progress in implementing the delayed plan for Palestinian self-rule in the Gaza Strip and an area of the West Bank including Jericho.
He would not detail what progress was made. But Environment Minister Yossi Sariid said that among the steps forward was a joint Palestinian-Israeli venture for a Dead Sea resort.
Giving the Palestinians access to the Dead Sea apparently would expand Israel's offer on the size of the Jericho autonomous area, one of the sticking points that have bogged down the talks for months.
A dispute over control of border crossings is the main bone of contention. The Israelis are demanding a veto on Palestinians entering the autonomous zones as a security measure, while the PLO does not want a visible Israeli presence that would infringe on Palestinian sovereignty.
MOSCOW
New Cabinet contains familiar faces
Finance Minister Boris Fyodorov, the government's leading reformer, said he would negotiate his future with President Boris Yeltsin today, leaving open the possibility of staving in Russia's new Cabinet.
Fyodorov resigned last week just before Yeltsin, responding to popular discontent over the painful impact of market reforms, named a new government dominated by Soviet-era managers who favor a go-slow approach to transforming Russia's economy.
Deputy Prime Minister Yegor Galdar, the architect of economic reforms.
Fyodorov, a proponent of tough budget and money emission policies, is credited with bringing the country's soaring inflation down to 12 percent in December.
The new Cabinet is seen widely as representing the interests of powerful industrial, military-industrial and agrarian lobbies. It is expected to give huge subsidies to alling state industries, attempting to boost production but risking a high inflation.

Telly Savalas dies of cancer at 70 LOS ANGELES
Telly Svalas, the gruff, burd-headed actor who became a television favorite as the lollipop-loving New York detective in the 1970s series "Kojak," died Saturday of prostate cancer. He was 70.
"Who loves ya, baby?" which Kojak muttered to fellow cops and assorted hoodlums, grew into the detective's signature and a national catch-phrase.
Savalas, surrounded by his family, died in his sleep one day after his birthday at his suite in the Sheraton-Universal Hotel in Universal City, Calif., said Mike Mamakos, his spokesman and longtime friend.
Savalas left Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, Calif., almost three weeks ago to live out his last days at the hotel, where he had kept a suite since the 1970s, Mamakos said.
“Kojak” broke into the top 10 rated shows in its first season, 1973-74, and Savalas won an Emmy as best actor in a dramatic series that season. The series lasted until 1978.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. 'Schindler's List' wins 2 Golden Globes
Steven Spielberg, long overlooked for prestigious honors in Hollywood, won two top awards Saturday night at the Golden Globes. His film "Schindler's List" was chosen best dramatic picture and he was named best director.
"Schindler's List" was the experience of my motion picture life," he told the star-studded audience, which gave him a standing ovation for the searing film about a German profiteer's rescue of Jews during the Holocaust. Spielberg said he planned to take the film to Germany in a few weeks.
The Golden Globes are carefully watched by the film community because they often indicate who will win the Oscars. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which presents the Golden Globes, honors television achievements as well as motion pictures.
Tom Hanks, who plays a lawyer with AIDS who sues his firm for firing him in "Philadelphia," and Holly Hunter, the mute wife who has an illicit affair in colonial New Zealand in "The Piano," won Golden Globes for the best dramatic performances. Hanks accepted his award humbly with thanks to his co-workers and for a number of advisers now dead from AIDS.
The honors for best performance by stars in a musical or comedy were awarded to Angela Bassett for her portrayal of rock star Tina Turner in "What's Love Got to Do With It," and to Robin Williams, who masquerades as a British nanny in "Mrs. Doubtfire," which was named best musical or comedy film.
In television, "NYPD Blue" won for best dramatic series. "Seinfeld" was the top winner of the evening with Golden Globes for best comedy series, comedy star Jerry Seinfeld and comedy supporting actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Kathy Baker of "Picket Fences" picked up a Golden Globe for best actress in a drama series. David Caruso of "NYPD Blue" won for best actor in a drama series.
