Gorbachev asks for approval of economy reform program
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev said yesterday that a plan for converting the Soviet Union to a market economy has been submitted and approved, and the parliament of the 15 republics.
Gorbachev, saying the entire country should be involved in this "difficult choice," for the first time was seeking nationwide approval — via the elected parliaments — of a policy that previously was determined by the Communist regime's central government.
In an interview with the evening television news program "Vremya," Gorbachev confirmed that the plan he endorsed and submitted to the national and republic parliaments was based on a radical proposal by economist Stanislav Shatalin.
Supreme Court nominee faces Senate Judiciary Committee
After weeks of researching the opinions of David Souter, the Senate confronts the Supreme Court nominee himself today to fill in a portrait that is little more than an outline.
The conformation process facing Souter fits the legal definition of discovery: "the disclosure or coming to light of what was previously hidden" (Brown 1987, p. 236) about Souter's life but his judicial philosophy.
On the eve of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, a host of special interest groups called news conferences to lay out what they know about Souter. Meanwhile, the nominee had lunch at the White House with President Bush and declined to take any questions.

Bush records speech for broadcast in Iraq
WASHINGTON — President Bush videotaped a message yesterday telling the Iraq people he has "no quarrel" with them and that they should leave their own government, a White House official said.
The Associated Press
On the eight-minute tape, which will be broadcast unedited in Iraq, Bush says the U.S. military is in the Persian Gulf only to defend Saudi Arabia from Iraqi aggression.
"We want a peaceful resolution. We want peaceful coexistence with the people of Iraq." Bush says on the tape, according to White House spokesperson Marin Fitzwater.
The White House did not release a transcript, but Fitzwater gave an overview of Bush's comments
The president's address was intended to create internal problems for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein by emphasizing Iraq's isolation in the world community as a result of the invasion of Kuwait. Bush has said previously he would not be unhappy if the people of Iraq removed Saddam from power, and the address stressed that Iraqis are paying a heavy price for his actions.
The president consulted with Arab specialists and met twice with State Department and National Security Council officials to come up with the wording, Fitzwater said.
The Arab specialists were asked to look at the wording "to make sure that the tone of it translates well" and to ask how much they know about Arabic.
"You can write a speech that sounds perfectly good to Western ears," but might not convey the same depth of meaning.
Fitzwater said the message was "a very candid but personal description of our goals and our values."
The White House media staff worked yesterday on adding Arab subtitles and audio translation to the tape before sending it to the Fraqi ambassador via Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburd.
"The president was forright and didn't stage anything, just gave a direct message," said Sig Rogich. Bush's assistant for media consultation who produced the tape for the president.
The Voice of America said it was doing the translating before the tape was handed over to Mr. Sapir.
Fitzwater said although there had been no direct contact between the two governments regarding the videotape, "we expect that Iraq will honor its invitation to allow this to be addressed to the Iraqi people, and we will ask them to provide us an air time within the next five days."
Fitzwater said he anticipated broad international interest in Bush's message.

Fall for Art' group exhibit features local, eclectic mix
Twin Peaks' spin-off just as weird as series
Artists En Masse, 801% Massachusetts St., is celebrating its two-year anniversary with the opening of a new group show. "Fall for
"Basically, the gallery opened as an alternative art space for non-traditional artists; people working in ways that are a little different," said Lynne Green, director of the gallery.
"If it fits and works in the gallery, wherever the artist may be from, I want to promote him," she said. "I request, said she, 'I like to do group shows, to try to give people as much insight as possible' or are more in local talents here."
Lawrence artist Jack Collins, second from left, discusses one of his works at Artists En Masse.
Jack Collins, a Lawrence artist and KU graduate, was one of the 16 artists whose work was featured at the show's opening Friday.
The shows change every six to eight weeks, Green said. The gallery is open Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. p.m. and Sundays from 1 o'4 p.m.
The artists taking part in the show have had work displayed at the gallery in the past. The gallery features works in all different

This girl imbued more controlled substances and indulged in more sexual dalliancees than the entire cast of movies on location at a crack house.
Green said she encouraged young people, especially students, to visit the gallery.

Jennifer Lynch's first novel is a twisted slice of Americana in which nothing is quite what it seems and sex is never quite make love.
But Laura Palmer's diary is not cloned from David Lynch films. Rather, it is 184 pages of ruminations about life in a fictional Northwest lumber town as seen by its homecoming queen.
By Jamie Elliott
The diary actually is written by
It is vaguely reminiscent of her father's chilling depiction of sexual blackmail in "Blue Velvet."
It is written, of course, before her murder, which only further unsettled an already unsettling place to live.
Peaks freaks, grab a pencil. Though the book is billed as containing definitive clues that identify Laura's killer, it isn't easy going.
Which means you never get a direct answer.
