Arsonist wants limelight,experts say
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — The arsonist responsible for the fourth attack on a Jewish target may have acted again to try to recapture the public's attention, officials speculated yesterday.
public attention, officials speculated they were Both officials and experts said the timing of the latest act of arson, at the home of State Rep. Joan R. Kemler, D-West Hartford, was important.
Kevin B. Sullivan, a West Hartford town council member, said, "This person obviously thrives on some kind of publicity. Other tragedies have taken away the headlines, and the person apparently felt it incumbent upon him to strike again and recapture the notoriety."
Rabbi William Cohen of Beth David Synagogue said the community had been lulled into a false sense of security because almost a month had passed since the last act of arson.

Frank Mazza testified at the National Transportation Safety Board's first four days of scheduled hearings on why the suspended plate-girdle span collapsed. Twenty-nine people were subpoenaed to testify.
Three people died and three were seriously injured when two cars and two trucks plunged 70 feet into the river about 1:30 a.m. June 28. Failure of a pin and hanger support assembly is suspected as contributing to the collapse.
Mazza, who lives near the Greenwich bridge, told the board he passed beneath it in his boat around 8:30 p.m. on June 27.

'Grass carp' are fugitive weed eaters
SHERIDAN, Ark. — If you've got a pond or lake being choked by plants, Bill Whiting has some weed-eating fish he'd like to sell you — but they are illegal in many states.
Whiting blames chemical company lobbyists and "academic idiots" in states where amur have not been approved.
"Each state wants their university to get a big grant and do research." he said.
The Chinese white amur — nicknamed "grass carp" — have nibbled their way through golf course ponds, large man-made lakes and the Panama Canal. They are cheaper and probably safer for the environment than repeated doses of herbicides in the water, and enthusiasts say they clear the weeds better.

Diplomatic fray over jet attack continues
By United Press International
The Soviet Union said yesterday that the South Korean airliner it shot down had been part of an elaborate U.S. spy mission on Soviet anti-aircraft defenses and involved a spy satellite, reconnaissance planes, warships and ground tracking stations.
Soviets elaborate charges of spying against Korean jet
Washington flatly denied the accusation. National Security Affairs adviser William Clark predicted last week that the Soviets would "come up with a disinfection campaign" to link the Korean tetherer to U.S. reconnaissance.
At the United Nations, deputy U.S. ambassador Charles Liechtenstein told the Soviet Union and other U.N. members to "consider removing themselves from the soil." United Nations from the sea cleaned unfairly. If they felt they had been treated unfairly.
The remarks came during a meeting of the Committee on Relations with the Host Country to consider a Soviet complaint that Washington prohibited Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko from flying to New York to attend the U.N. General Assembly starting today.

He said the American delegation would be at the "dockside waving you fond farewell."
New York and New Jersey refused to Gromkyko land at any local airports for fear they could not adequately provide security against protests over
Soviet Air Force Marshal Pytor Kirsanov said an analysis of the orbit of an American Ferret-D satellite in relation to the flight path of the Korean plane showed the Americans were seeking "as full information as possible about the anti-aircraft defense system in the Far East."
Lies right, no matter how many people Moscow rejected an offer to have Gromyko fly into a military base instead.
the sept. 1 destruction of Korean Air Lines flight 007 which killed 269 people.
Kirsanov, writing in today's edition of the Communist Party newspaper Pravda, said that Washington bore the responsibility for the destruction of the Korean Air Lines Boeing 747 by Soviet fighters and the loss of 295 lives.
The new charges, Moscow's most detailed justification for downing the airline, Sept. 13, coincided with an aerial drone flight over the plane's "black box" flight recorders.
A Japanese Maritime Safety Agency official in Wakkanai in northern Japan said that two more Russian underwater vessels were brought into the 8-mile-wide search area 20 miles north of the tiny Soviet island of Mononer.
He said an American P3-C anti-submarine surveillance plan was sent aloft shortly afterward to monitor the search.
The focus of the search is the so-called black box, an electronic recording system that may explain why the Korean plane veered far off course on its flight from New York to Seoul after a stop in Anchorage.
"In order to synchronize the flight of the South Korean airlines 747 with this U.S. spy satellite, the plane's departure date was delayed for 40 minutes," Kirsanov said.

Soviet diplomats evade flight ban in Belgian plane
NEW YORK — Sixty-one Soviets with diplomatic passports, prevented from making a trip in a government plane, arrived at Kennedy Interstate Airport yesterday aboard a commercial flight from Belgium, officials said.
The delegation disembarked from Sabena Belgian World Airlines flight 544 at the American Airlines terminal, and then headed to Iceland, ill-fated Korean Air Lines flight 007.
The envoys arrived four days after the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, acting at the directions of the governors of those states, had refused a request from Moscow to allow Soviet planes carrying nuclear weapons General Assembly to land at Kennedy or Newark Airports.
The Soviet Union said that the ban violated international law, and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko announced that he would not attend the General Assembly for the first time in 28 years.

Port Authority spokesmen said the diplomatic delegation arrived at 3:12 p.m. pboard the flight from Brussels. Ten of them were whisked away in four
A U.S. Customs Service spokesman said all 61 carried diplomatic passports.
However, it was not clear if all were diplomats or if the delegation included clerical staff and dependents.
The spokesman for the Soviet Mission was not available for comment and the State Department in Washington and the U.S. Mission in New York could not immediately provide a breakdown.
Govs. Mario Cuomo of New York and Thomas Kean of New Jersey decided Thursday to bar Soviet flights from landing at Kennedy or Newark airports to protest the downing of the Korean plane with 269 people aboard. Many of the victims came from the metropolitan area.
After the local ban was announced, the U.S. government offered to let Soviet flights land at military bases.

AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION STILL VICTIM OF SCHIZOPHRENIA
In a recent and very informative talk before a disappointingly small crowd, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Lobbying Coordinator Julie Steiner described several of this organization's current undertakings. Yet, despite its commitment to the protection of our civil liberties and the free flow of ideas, the ACLU continues to categorize an abortion as an act of "reproductive freedom" which is part and parcel of achieving women's liberation.
As a result of assuming this position (which it first did in 1968 five years before the Infamous Roe vs. Wade decision), the ACLU is forced to ignore or try to suppress the ever-growing body of information which confirms that life begins at conception.
This is why, for instance, the ACLU's Ohio chapter once warned the mayor of Akron, Ohio someone might sue him if he enforced an Akron statute requiring the physician of any woman seeking an abortion to inform her both "that the unborn child is a human life from the moment of conception...(and) in detail the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the particular unborn child at the gestational point of development at which time the abortion is to be performed, including, but not limited to, appearance, mobility, tactile sensitivity, including pain, perception or response, brain and heart function, the presence of internal organs and the presence of external members."
According to the dictionary, schizophrenia, the synonym of which is split personality, "is characterized by disturbance in thinking involving a distortion of the usual logical relations between ideas." When the ACLU objects to capital punishment because it "violates the constitutional guarantee to equal protection under the law...(and) is vile and objectionable" even while it champions permitting an abortionist to mutilate and kill for money, it convincingly demonstrates that schizophrenia isn't, as some hold, always genetically transmitted.
