Chernenko appears briefly

MOSCOW — President Konstantin Cherenko, who had been rumored seriously ill, made his first public appearance in 54 days yesterday at a brief Kremiln ceremony honoring three cosmonauts.
The ceremony, shown on the nightly TV news program Vremya, began with a tanned and smiling Chernenko walking unaided into the ornate Kremlin hall.
Holding a five-page speech firmly in his left hand, Chernenko read his remarks without the wheezing and halting delivery that had marked his earlier public speeches. Later, however, he stood stiffly and seemed short of breath.
The appearance of the 72-year leader ended an absence from public view that began July 13, when he was seen with Javier Perez de Cuellar, secretary general of the United Nations.
Two days later, Cherenko officially began a vacation at his Black Sea retreat. Soviet leaders ordinarily take annual six-week vacations. Cherenko's lasted almost eight weeks.
The Soviet leader, who became the oldest man to assume command of the Soviet Union following the death of President Yuri Andropov last Feb. 9, suffers from chronic breathing difficulties, believed to stem from emphysema.

"I love children," Jackson said. "We all know kids are very impressionable and susceptible to such stories. I'm certain that some have already been hurt by this terrible slander."
