Ortega says Reagan broke pact with anti-Sandinista aid request
UNITED NATIONS — Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega accused President Reagan yesterday of defying the peace agreement made by Central American nations, and repeated his demand for direct talks with Washington
The six-member U.S. delegation walked out of the U.N. General Assembly hall in the first few minutes of a harshly critical speech during which Otega said,
to applause, "Let President Reagan recall that 'Rambo' exists only in the movies."
Reagan nominates lawyer for Cabinet post
Ortega repeatedly attacked Reagan for asking Congress to vote in favor of more aid for rebels fighting Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government. Ortega claimed the request went "dead against" a peace accord signed by the five Central American presidents Aug. 7.
WASHINGTON — President Reagan said yesterday that he would nominate Deputy Secretary James H. Burnley IV to be transportation secretary and praised the "easy manner" of the former North Carolina lawyer, who has clashed bitterly with senators over aviation.
Reagan also said he would nominate Mimi Dawson to succeed Burnley as deputy. Dawson has served on the Federal Communications Commission since 1981 and before that was administrative assistant to Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore.
Chinese order press out of Tibetan capital
CHENGDU, China — Chinese authorities yesterday ordered Western reporters out of the Tibetan border. The reinforcements tried to prevent
independence protests that have left at least 14 people dead.
Wu Yuzhun, director of Tibet's Foreign Affairs Office, told the reporters to leave within 48 hours.
Turnabout is fair play for algebra students
OXFORD - Algebra class at Oxford High School brought back chilling memories for Jim Conner, one of more than 90 adults who switched places with students for a day.
"I flunked this class, in this exact room, 17 years ago," said Conner, wearing a slightly worried look as he sat in his son's seat. "I'm terrible at math."

WASHINGTON — Robert H. Bork's Supreme Court nomination was dealt a potentially fatal blow yesterday as opposition spread to a majority of the Senate.
Bork to decide his own fate
The Associated Press
But President Reagan said he wouldn't surrender "in the face of a lynch mob."
White House officials, giving what seemed to be conflicting signals, said that the fight would continue to the Senate floor, no matter how bleak the outlook, but also said it was up to Bork to decide whether to withdraw.
The president said of Bork, "I will make mine I will support him all the way."
Bork went to the Justice Department yesterday to meet with Attorney General Edwin Meee III, raising speculation that the nomination
soon might be withdrawn. Department officials added to the speculation by saying Meese had arranged a meeting with Reagan to talk over Bork's fate.
However, presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said later that there would be no such meeting, that Meese had reported there was no change in the status of the nomination and that White House strategy was to continue to make case and try to change minds.
At the end of the working day yesterday, Fitzwater said that Reagan had not met with any senators on the Bork nomination during the day and had not made any telephone calls on the subject.
He said that as far as White House officials knew, Bork was still in the race.
"Judge Bork has given us no indication other than that he wants to proceed with the floor vote," Fitzwater said. "Obviously he can make any decision he wants but we're proceeding under the assumption that we're heading for a vote."
Tom Korologos, a lobbyist brought in by White House officials to help Bork, said "We're to let him decide."
Terry Eastland, a Justice Department spokesman, said Bork "obviously wants to stay in the fight for the nomination as of today, and the attorney general is not trying to persuade him one way or the other."
Meanwhile, Sen. George Mitchell, D-Maine and a former federal judge, declared on the Senate floor that if White House officials pursued it
Falwell quits PTL, insults Bakker
FORT MILL, S.C. — Jerry Fallow and 10 associates resigned yesterday from the governing board of the PTL ministry, and Falwell said that he feared defrocked leader Jim Bakker might return and make the ministry "the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in 2,000 years."
The Associated Press
Bakker, in a news conference at his mountaintop retreat near Gatlinburg, Tenn, called the resignations a "wholesale walkout" and said he believed Falwell was stepping down because he didn't want to face Bakker's attorney, Melvin Belli, in bankruptcy court. Bakker said he would return to the ministry if invited to do so by its creditors
million
months, "barring a miracle of God." Bakker would resume control of the evangelical empire he turned over to Falwell in March amid a sex-and-money scandal.
The resignations were prompted by a court ruling Wednesday that allowed PTL's creditors and contributors to file a competing plan for the reorganization of the ministry, which is plagued by a debt of more than $60
Falwell said members of the PTL's board were willing to fight Bakker, but unwilling to fight the courts. And he predicted Thursday that within six
Falwell, who runs his own ministry based in Lynchburg, Va., said PTL's television program, "The PTL the TV program that has least three weeks, but that the payroll at the "Heritage USA" theme park would not be paid today.
"I hope the successor will pay them," Falwell said. He asked PTL's 1,200 workers to stay on.
Robertson admits he sowed wild oats
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Republican presidential candidate Pat Robertson, in his first appearance since he acknowledged being legally married 10 weeks before the birth of his first child, yesterday she sowed wolf oats in his youth but Jesus had forsaken him.
The former minister and television evangelist also said he didn't think journalists covering the presidential debate should be making such inquiries.
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that Robertson and his wife, Dede, were legally married 10 weeks before the birth of their first child. Yesterday, the Washington Post quoted him as saying he and his wife felt married from the day they conceived their son.
Robertson said he hadn't previously revealed his wedding date in an effort to protect his family, the Post reported.
"I have never, ever, claimed that I was free from the normal life of a young college man," Robertson told reporter.
"I have never, ever, indicated that in the early part of my life I didn't sow some wild oats. I sowed plenty of them."
