Bush questions reasons for Clinton's Moscow trip
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — President Bush later yesterday said Bill Clinton should level with U.S. citizens about a student trip he took to Moscow in 1969 as well as his participation in overseas protests during the Vietnam war.
Bush, appearing on CNN's "Larry King Live" also said that Clinton should answer as many questions about his Vietnam draft record as Bush has about what he knew about the Iran-Contra affair.
Responding to an angry caller who accused the president of being out of touch with the economy and not coming clean on Iran-Contra, Bush tried to raise doubts about Clinton's patriotism, credibility and leadership.
Clinton, then a student in England,
visited Moscow on a tour of Europe
during a winter break. He has not
reached an anti-war demonstration
in London.
"I cannot for the life of me under
stand mobilizing demonstrations and demonstrating against your own country, no matter how strongly you feel, when you are in a foreign land," the president said. "I just don't think you should do that.
"Maybe I'm old fashioned but to go to a foreign country and demonstrate against your own country when your sons and daughters are dying halfway around the world. I am sorry but I think that is wrong."
Bush made his charges during an one-hour appearance on the King program, the second one this week. He asked two ostile questions from call in viewers.
While he was a student at Oxford University in England, Clinton toured Europe, including a stop in Moscow, in the winter of 1960. Rep. Robert Dornan, R-Calff, has claimed in House speeches that Clinton was a guest of the KGB, and that the Soviet secret police and intelligence agency encouraged him to lead anti-war
demonstrations.
Clinton, in an appearance Monday night on King's show, dismissed Dorman's claim as silly, saying he made the trip on his own money. He acknowledged that he may have talked to KGB agents unknowingly — as many international travelers to Moscow did in those days — but shrugged off the issue as unimportant.
Bush said that he was "not nervous and not particularly excited" about the series of three debates beginning Sunday with Clinton and Texas billionaire Ross Perot.
It was the fourth network television appearance since Sunday for Bush, who is behind in the polls with less than four weeks before election.
The King show marked the first time Bush agreed to respond to call-in questions, a step he once said was beneath the dignity of the president.
Shining Path leader receives life sentence without parole
The Associated Press
LIMA, Peru — A military tribunal yesterday convicted and sentenced Abimalea Guzman, leader of the deadly Shining Path guerrilla movement, to life in prison without parole, a government communicated said.
Defiant rebels killed four airmen and two policemen hours before the judgment was announced.
The tribunal, after a secret, 10-day trial at a naval base on a heavily guarded island off Lima, convicted Guzman of treason. Ten other rebel leaders also were convicted of the charge and received the same sentence, according to the communique from the Supreme Military Tribunal, Peru's highest military court.
"The terrorist criminal Abimael Gunman has been sentenced to perpetual imprisonment by a special judge of the navy on the charge of treason to his homeland as maximum leader of the so-called Communist Party of Peru, or the Stifing Path" the communist said.
Guzman is founder and leader of the Maoist group whose brutal 12-year insurgency has caused 25,000 deaths and $22 billion in economic damage.
His capture Sept. 12, at a safe house in an upper middle-class Lima neighborhood, was a stunning blow to the insurgency. But experts expect the fighting to continue for years.
Guzman was tried at a naval base on San Lorenzo island near Lima. During the trial he was held in a 5-by-5-foot steel sage. It was the first trial of a rebel leader by a military triumph.
Alfredo Crespo, Guzman's lawyer, has said he would appeal Guzman's sentence. President Alberto Fujimori has said the nine-man Supreme Military Tribunal would have until Oct. 14 to rule on an appeal.

--and soulful flavor. Working with just bass and drums, Foley proved well versed in a variety of styles, from country blues to Bo Diddley's namesake beat to more modern instrumentals. The longer she stayed on stage, the better her singing was, and by the end of the second set the crowd was more than happy to join in on the choruses. Don't be surprised if she's popping up on Letterman and opening for Ratti in the very near future.

That she could pass for Rickie Lee Jones's younger sister and sounds like a youthful Bonnie Ratt certainly won't hurt Foley's chances for success, nor will her enthusiasm and her shy but winning smile.
