ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada — Fourteen people were convicted yesterday and were sentenced to hang for the slaying of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop in a coup that prompted the United States to invade this Caribbean island in 1983.
Grenada leader's killers to hang
Three of the 18 sentenced to hang were Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard, considered the mastermind of the plot; his wife, Phyllis; and Gen. Hudson Austin, the armed forces commander and coup leader.
Three of the 18 defendants were convicted of manslaughter, with prison sentences of up to 45 years, and one was acquitted by the jury of seven men and three women for three hours. All the defendants had pleaded innocent.
They were accused of killing Bishop, three Cabinet members and seven other people Oct. 19, 1983, during the coup. Witnesses said Bishop was among eight victims lined against a wall and killed by machine gun fire.
Bennett wants drug crackdown
WASHINGTON — Education Secretary William Bennett said yesterday that the department of education would spend $15.5 million next year to combat ilegal drug use on college campuses.
At a luncheon sponsored by the department's Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education, Bennett said that college and university admission are ignoring or tolerating students' illegal drug use.
The $15.5 million in government money would go to campus programs, training and Jemonstra projects, Bennett said. Regulations for distributing the money would be completed by early next year, and grants would be awarded by late summer.
Bennett said administrators were reluctant to adopt tough drug abuse policies or counsel students with drug problems because of the time and energy required.
Yale faculty seeks divestment
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Vale University faculty yesterday released a petition calling on the institution to sell its stock in companies doing business in South Africa. The petition was signed by 172 faculty members.
"It is time to end the strange silence of the faculty on the question of divestment," a statement accompanying the petition began.
"We endorse the position of four members of the Yale Corporation, announced a year ago, that Yale should divest its endowment of stock in companies that
do business in South Africa.'' the statement said.
The faculty members said in the statement that divestment would be a matter of symbolic politics. The statement also said, "Yale's selling its stock is not going to bring an end to apartheid."
Nancy Cott, Yale professor of history, said the petition would be presented today to the Yale Corp, which is the university's board of trustees, and to Yale President Benno C. Schmidt Jr.
Student activists have planned rallies for today and tomorrow to demand that the university divest about $400 million in companies doing business in South Africa.
Honewell to leave S. Africa
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Honeywell Inc. will sell its small South African operation to a local firm and join the exodus of American companies, a company executive said yesterday.
The sale to South African owners follows a pattern set by General Motors Corp., IBM and dozens of other U.S. companies that have bowed to divestment policies and pursued apartheid movement and to poor economic conditions.
A South African industrial group, Murray and Roberts, will purchase the Honeywell operation, and the 175 employees probably will keep their jobs
