Group protests bunny burgers
ORLANDO, Fla. — A group of animal rights activists want to keep "bunny burgers" off restaurant menus, but the American Rabbit Breeders Association believes rabbit meat is the food of the future.
The ideas of each group clashed Monday at the breeders' 61st annual convention, where 75 protesters picketed outside and shouted, "abstock is murder."
Rabbit breeders dismissed the protests as unfounded.
"I don't know what they're trying to prove," said Orlando rabbit breeder Brew Ruddick "Rabbit is high in protein, low in cholesterol and there's no fat."
137-count indictment rejected by Donovan
By United Press International
NEW YORK — Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan, his fingerprints and mug shot freshly entered into police files, pleaded not guilty to fraud. The criminal charges against a Cabinet member
Donovan, the first sitting Cabinet member indicted for criminal actions, faces a maximum sentence of seven years in prison for the most serious charge in a 74-page indictment — a single count of second degree felony. He is also accused of falsifying records.
State Supreme Court Justice Barry Salman allowed Donovan and seven Schiavone Construction Co. executives charged in the indictment to remain free on their own recognition petition on Nov. 12. The executives also pleaded not guilty.
THE CHARGES, LEVIED in connection with a $186 million New York subway contract awarded to the New Jersey construction firm of which Donovan was an executive, also could result in fines of $16 million, double the amount of the alleged
He also said Bronx District Attorney Mario Merola, who led the state grand jury probe that grew out of a murder investigation, "may have won today's battle by misuse of his office, but I guarantee you that he will not win the war."
Donovan announced Monday night he would take a leave of absence without pay to fight the charges he said statement from "a witness" charged with the indictment, "a political hatchet job."
The 137-count indictment was announced
on the last day allowed by the statute of limitations.
DONOVAN, WHO ENTERED the Criminal Courthouse by a side door, was routinely fingerprinted and had his picture taken for police records before entering his plea. William Bittman, then attorney, answered the question when asked for the labor secretary's plea by Judge Salman.
Among the charges Donovan faces are 125 counts of falsifying business records and 11 counts of writing a false instrument for filing. Each of those 136 counts carries a maximum four-year sentence.
Donovan's Schiavone Construction Co., JoPeL Contracting and Trucking Corp. of the Bronx, and nine other men also were indicted for stealing goods and face the same possible penalties.
New York State Sen. Joseph Galibier and reputed mester William Masselli, who is serving a federal hijacking term, also were named in the indictment.
THE FRI HAD information that Donovan had ties with Masselli, a convicted mobster, but an agent testified that the agency found no incriminating evidence against Donovan. NBC reported last night.
NBc said that in January 1981, an FBI memorandum informed top officials of the FBI that there were serious allegations in the investigation. The FBI had business and social ties with Masselli.
The report said that two weeks after the Donovan memo was distributed, FBI Agent Frances Mullen testified before a Senate committee considering Donovan's nomination. The committee surfaced no information that would reflect unfavorably upon Donovan in any manner.
WASHINGTON — Disabled protester Greg Dougan tries to cross police barricades during a protest by the Americans Disabled for Accessible Public Transit.

MOSCOW — Three cosmonauts who set a record for the longest stay in space landed in a cloud of desert dust "back in the Earth's embrace" yesterday and received a hero's welcome and the Soviet Union's highest honor for a 238 day space odyssey.
Mission commander Leoni Kizim and cosmonauts Vladimir Solovyov and Oleg Aklouk landed in the central Asia Republic of Kazakhstan (KAZ). The official Soviet news agency, TASS, said.
The cosmonauts were carried on stretches into a tent for medical tests. Tass said they were ound to be in good health after their stay .n space that lasted 237 days, 22 hours and 10 minutes.
But all three appeared to be in pain as they began re-adjusting to the pressure of gravity. Their hands were sore.
Kizim said he was feeling "not very well yet, but that's only to be expected now that we're back in the Earth's embrace. But generally I feel normal."
Solovoyv said he was feeling "strange"
"On the one hand happy to be meeting with friends and my nearest and dearest but on the other hand, sad because we lived on the other side and left up there on its own," the cosmetician said.
Within three hours of their landing, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the Soviet Union's supreme state authority between sessions of the Supreme Soviet, proclaimed the three cosmonauts Heroes of the Soviet Union and awarded them the Order of Lenin.
For Kizim, 42, a space veteran, it was the second Order of Lenin and the Hero's gold star, a status that automatically earns him a statue in his home town.
Kizim, Solovyok and Atkov lived and worked in Salut's cramped cylindrical crew quarters, which are 20.4 feet long with a diameter of 13.2 feet.
Kizim, Solovoy, 37, and Atkov, 34, blasted off Feb. 8 and a day later linked up with the Salyut-7 station, which is in permanent orbit On Sept. 7, they broke the previous 211-day space endurance record set by the Soviets in 1982.
During their mission, the cosmonauts conducted more than 500 medical and technical experiments and took more than 25,000 pictures of the Earth's surface.
