S. Korean rival factions are urged to reconcile before '88 Olympics
SEOUL, South Korea — Just 18 months before the Olympic torch is lit in Seoul, South Korea's rival political factions are entering the final, critical rounds in a world-class bout of brinkmanship.
Some opposition party members talk ominously of Olympic disaster next year if the generals this year were to play a prominent democracy that they want.
The outcome of the match-between the military-dominated government and the main opposition party will set the mood for the 1988 Seoul Summer Games. It will also set the tone for South Korean politics in the future.
The U.S. Embassy is pressing President Chun Doo Hwan and his rivals to reach a compromise soon, to end decades of authoritarian
rule and to take the tension out of the Olympic countdown.
Chun, a general who came to power in a coup in 1980, has long said that he would step down when institutional term expires. Feb. 24.
In the name of "stability," however, the president initially sought to postpone any political liberalization until after the Olympics. That would essentially guarantee election of his Democratic Justice Party's presidential candidate by the existing electoral college.
But public pressure, including an explosion of student demonstrations, forced Chun in May to agree to negotiations on constitutional revision between his party and the New Korea Democratic Party.
Witness challenged in Demjanjuk's trial
"JERUSALEM — The defense sought to prove contradictions yesterday in the testimony of Holocaust survivors who say former U.S. autoworker John Demanjuk was a brutal Nazi death camp guard called "Ivan the Terrible."
vors and from some of his earlier recollections.
Defense attorney Mark O'Connor repeatedly challenged proof witness Gustav Borakens, 86, in an attempt to show his memories of the Treblinka death camp differ from those of other survi-
Boraks contradicted himself several times, leading some courtroom observers to conclude the Holocaust survivor's memory was failing him.
O'Connor has argued that if Treblina survivors cannot clearly remember what happened in the camp 45 years ago, their reliability as witnesses against Demjanjuk was questionable.

FBI leader should be neutral, Webster says
WASHINGTON — CIA Director-nominee William Webster, praised by a liberal congressman as the "second rabbit" President Reagan has pulled out of his hat, said yesterday that his successor as head of the FBI should have an image of political neutrality.
Webster, who will end nine years as head of the country's most famous law enforcement agency to become the country's chief spy if confirmed by the Senate, briefly met yesterday with the president in the Oval Office.
