U.S ships to approach Taiwan
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Warren Christopher accused China of reckless provocations against Taiwan yesterday and said U.S. warships would move closer to Taiwan in the coming days.
Christopher said the United States wanted the battle group led by the aircraft carrier Independence in a position to be helpful if it needs to be. The carrier will be moved closer to Taiwan in future days.
China has sought to influence Taiwan's presidential election scheduled for later this month and discourage the pro-democracy movement on the island by staging missile tests off Taiwan's coast and announcing plans for live ammunition tests in the straits that divide Taiwan from the mainland.
China's actions have increased military tensions between the two governments higher than they have
been in a decade. Both Beijing and Taipei claim to be the sole legitimate government of the Chinese, but their enmity has been tempered in recent years by increased trade and tourism across the Taiwan Strait.
"We just can't make a list of things where we disagree and walk away."
Christopher speaking on
NBC's "Meet the Press," said China's actions had been reckless and risky. He said Chinese military aggression against Taiwan concerned the U.S. government.
Warren Christopher Secretary of State
The administration has refused to say how the United States might respond to a military attack.
It was not clear from the statements by Christopher and later comments by Madeleine Albright, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, if the U.S. warships would enter the area designated by China for the ammunition exercises.
Albright, speaking on
CNN's "Late Edition With Frank Sesno," said Chinese officials had been warned to avoid confrontation with the United States.
Last December the aircraft carrier Nimitz, accompanied by other warships, passed through the Taiwan Strait, making an implicit statement
to the Chinese that the United States was concerned about the increased belligence toward Taiwan.
It was the first U.S. carrier group to pass through the straits since 1979, when the United States cut off diplomatic ties with Taiwan and recognized the Beijing government as the sole representative of China.
in the Taiwan Relations Act, which accompanied the change in diplomatic recognition, the United States said it would work toward the peaceful reunification of China and Taiwan, and pledged it would help Taiwan defend itself.
Christopher said that despite China's human rights and trade violations, and actions toward Taiwan, the Clinton administration remained committed to a policy of engagement with the Chinese leadership.
"We just can't make a list of things where we disagree and walk away," he said. "But we've got to stay engaged."
Fans gather to remember Burns
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Fans gathered yesterday at the celebrity-inscribed courtyard outside Mann's Chinese Theatre, where George Burns once left imprints of his hands, feet and cigar and wrote: "I'm 'Going in Style.'"
"I feel sad," said Connie Eck of Prospect, Pa. "My kids won't grow up to know him."
Eck's friend, Cathi Crifati of Butler, Pa, said, "He's one of the constants. Everybody knows George Burns. I'm glad he made it to 100."
Burns died at his Beverly Hills home on Saturday, seven weeks after his 100th birthday.
Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif. There Burns will be buried beside Gracie Allen, his wife who died in 1964.
Family members and close friends will attend a private funeral scheduled for tomorrow at
"There will be no celebrities," said Irv-
George Burns
fein Fein, Burns' manager. "We hope to have a memorial service in a month or two, and then all the celebrities can come."
Yesterday's remembrances were as low-key as Burns' famously-dry wit.
At Burns' neat, flower-bordered home, a passing jogger left a handful of red flowers. The day before, someone had left a pot of white daisies along with a cigar and a note that read: "George — One for the road. We'll miss you."
A memorial candle was left at the house yesterday by a Jewish group to honor the man born Nathan Birnbaum on Jan. 20, 1896, on New York's impoverished Lower East Side.
During the weekend Burns' name flashed on the marquee at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, where Burns often performed.
"There was something about his innate goodness, his good spirits," Steve Allen recalled. "I never heard him swearing or grousing about his competitor. I don't think he saw any competitors in the world and, in a sense, he had none.
He was the champ at what he did." At 80, Burns received an Academy Award for 1975's The Sunshine Boys. And he was immortalized in concrete at the Chinese Theatre for the 1979 movie Going in Style, in which he, Art Carney and Lee Strasberg played three elderly bank robbers.
But it was Oh, God and its two sequels that brought Burns to the attention of a new generation.
"I'm sad for everyone who loves to laugh," said John Denver, who starred with Burns in the first Oh, God movie. "We lost a dear friend who gave laughter, a lot of laughter to a whole lot of people for a long, long time."
An anonymous note left outside Burns' home read: "To the only 'God' I'll ever know. I'll miss you."
