Thatcher to run for 4th term
The Associated Press
LONDON — Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said she will try to win one more term of office and then end her career after more than a decade in power, according to a newspaper interview published yesterday.
Thatcher told The Sunday Correspondent she hoped to lead her Conservative Party to a fourth successive election.
Thatcher shows no signs of wanting to slow down, but her popularity is the lowest of any prime minister since opinion polls began in Britain 50 years ago, and senior colleagues have publicly admonished her to change her leadership style following the surprise resignation of her
Thatcher, who turned 64 last month, has never previously made it clear in public when she plans to retire as party leader. She was elected in 1979, the first female prime minister in Europe, and won re-election in 1983 and in 1987.
treasury chief, Nigel Lawson.
The next election must be scheduled by the summer of 1992, but it is expected Thatcher will call it in 1991.
Thatcher told the Sunday Correspondent that she hoped to lead the Conservatives in that vote.
But asked whether she would seek a fifth term, she was quoted as saying, "No, because I think people would think it was time for someone else to carry the torch."
Civil rights memorial unveils hope
The Associated Press
- MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A generation after Madgars Evers and Martin Luther King were killed, the nation's first memorial to martyrs of the civil rights movement was unveiled yesterday as relatives expressed hope that young people will carry on the spirit of that turbulent era.
Several people cried as they touched the cool water that flowed across the circular, black, granite slab engraved with important events of the era. The names of 40 people who died in the struggle for racial equality were included.
The memorial is of the same material and by the same architect as the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington.
More than 400 law enforcement officers provided security for the dedication ceremony after relatives had viewed the monument.
Julian Bond, the first Black state lawmaker in Georgia, said it was important to remember others beyond King and Evers who died in the struggle.
"Without degradating Dr. King, this was a lot more than a Martin Luther King movement," he said. "Many were ordinary, everyday people who rose above their ordinariness to make a difference."
The $700,000 monument also honors James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who were shot to death during the 1964 Freedom Summer.
"Poetry in granite" was how Goodman's mother, Carolyn Goodman of New York City, described the memorial designed by Maya Lin.
The monument is in front of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a few blocks from the Alabama Capitol, where Jefferson Davis took the oath of office as president of the Confederacy in 1861 and near the Baptist church where King launched the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955.
EAST GERMANS HEAD WEST: Thousands of young East German refugees rolled into West Germany at the rate of more than 100 an hour yesterday, causing a traffic jam that stretched several miles back into Czechoslovakia.
"The people will keep fleeing as long as they can," said Christian Schreiber, a older-year East German who joined countrymen taking advantage of the new changes in their Communist homeland through Gschoselovakia.

Driving their sputtering Trabants and Warburgts filled with stereos, luggage and children, the refugees needed to travel only 15 miles from the East German border to reach Bavaria in West Germany.
At least 15,000 East Germans had arrived in West Germany via Czechoslovakia yesterday, West German border officials said. They came by special trains from Prague or drove their own cars to the border after leavin of the new escape route. Schirring was the closest border crossing for those using the new route.
The refugees ignored pleas by new Communist Party leader Egon Krenz to remain in East Germany and scouted at his promises of reforms. So far this year about 170,000 people have left seeking freedom in the West.
"People just don't trust the government," said Schreiber, a dental technician from Staaken outside East Berlin. He and his wife and son had been waiting seven hours in the cold and had a long wait to go.
MANDELA AUTOBIORAPHY: The country's largest newspaper said yesterday that the autobiography of jailed Black leader Nelson Mandela would be published early next year, possibly to coincide with his expected release.
The Sunday Times said the book was secretly written by the African National Congress leader during his 27 years in prison.
Mandela's lawyer, Ismail Ayob, is believed to be negotiating with U.S. and British publishers, and bidding for rights to the book has reached $3 million, said The Sunday Times.
Mandela, South Africa's best known Black leader,
has been imprisoned since 1982 and is serving a life
sentence for sabotage and plotting to overthrow the
white-led government.
FBI TO FORGET CISPES: The FBI says it will purge its files of thousands of names of people and organizations collected during its controversial investigation of Americans who protested U.S. policy in Central America.
FBI Director William S. Sessions disclosed the plan to transfer records of the bureau's 1983-85 investigation of the Coalition in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES) to the National Archives and Records Administration in a letter to Congress released last week.
Sessions' decision was hailed as a victory for CISPES by the Center for Constitutional Rights, which had represented the group in a lawsuit that obtained documents disclosing the domestic spying operation.
RALLY IN IRAN: Radicals' effort to turn the 10th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy seizure into a show of strength backfired badly, indicating widening support for Iranian President Hashemi Rafsantani.
The 10,000 to 15,000 who turned up for a rally outside the former embassy Saturday is an insignificant number in Iran, where attendance at such protests is usually counted in the hundreds of thousands.
The failure of the rally to develop into a massive anti-U.S. demonstration was all the more telling since it had been preceded by a week of radical exhortations to mark the anniversary "more splendidly than ever."
