Angolan civil war ends in peace pact
Angola's leftist government and guerrillas have reached a peace accord in one of Africa's longest and bloodiest civil wars, with the United States continuing to stop the armed rivals.
The World Health Organization predicted yesterday that the AIDS virus would infect up to 30 million adults and 10 million children by the end of the century.
Negotiators clasped hands at a coastal resort Wednesday to seal provisional accords that call for a cease-fire at the end of this month and Angola's first free elections in the fall of 1992.
The total is about 10 million higher than the U.N. health agency's estimate a year ago.
The war cost an estimated 300,000 lives since it began in 1975, the year Angola gained independence from Portugal.
The agency said it revised its forecast because of the increasing spread of the human immunodeficiency virus, known as HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. It said the infection rate appeared to be slowing in industrialized countries.

Gephardt needed by Bush for trade vote

WASHINGTON — President Bush openly courted house Majority Leader Richard Gephardt on a hard-lobbed trade measure yesterday, even canvasing a St. Louis appearance off he offended the Missouri Democrat.
Bush went out of his way to praise Gephardt, an on-again, off-again political antagonist, at a White House meeting with farm group leaders, over his efforts to negotiate a free-trade treaty with Mexico.
At the same time, a White House representative announced that a meeting in St. Louis between Bush and Hispanic business leaders on the trade issue had been canceled. White House officialsacknow-
White House officials acknowledged the meeting was called off solely because they did not want to meet. Gephardt, who represents St. Louis.
Bush is seeking Gephardt's support on a vote later this month to renew the administration's expiring fast-track authority to negotiate trade agreements.
Bush claims the authority, by which Congress waives its prerogative to amend trade pacts negotiated by the administration, and is left to consider them only on a take-it-or-leave it basis, is needed for the United States to seal a deal with Mexico.
