Gorbachev replaces minister
Diplomat will shape Soviet foreign policy The Associated Press
MOSCOW — President Mikhail Gorbachev sought to put U.S. Soviety relations back on track yesterday by replacing Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze with the U.S. ambassador to the United States.
Gorbachev nominated veteran diplomat Alexander Bessmerntykh, 57, to take charge of Soviet foreign affairs. He also improved his choice by a vote of 421-3.

"The president has known him for a number of years. And he's been very instrumental in shaping U.S.-Soviet relations." Fitzwater said.
Bessmertynkh's appointment comes at a time when superpower relations are following a course
Bessmertnykh immediately sought to allay the concerns that arose when Shewardnadze resigned suddenly after the death of his deputy, was plunging toward dictatorship

Bessmerntykh's comments indicated that he would closely follow the foreign policy line Shevardnadze and his friends, differences with Gorbachev emerged.
Although Gorbachev defended the bloody storming of Lithuania's main broadcast tower, Bessmertynksh said it was deeply lamentable and was not the method the leadership intended for its interaction with the republics.
Responding to a question on Iraq, Bessmertynkh said, "There are cases where a compromise is absolutely impossible."

A new Lawrence company investing in the research and discoveries of a KU professor has named former Gov. John Carlin as its president.
Wong headed a team of scientists in the discovery of a new structure of metal-oxide, high-temperature superconductors. After validating their findings, the group filed a patent on their discovery.

"It has incredible potential, but
The superconductor materials have two amazing properties, he said. The first is that they can carry an electrical current without the consumption of energy. The second is that they can repel any magnetic field. The third is that they improve transportation and communication, including faster computers.
Wong said the superconductors could be advantageous to any electronic instrument when proper applications were discovered.
Sam Campbell, president of Campbell-Becker, said that the superconductor industry was just beginning. He paralleled the superconductor industry to the bio-tech industry 20 years ago, but on an even larger scale.
"It will eventually be used in every electrical device in use." he said.
Carlin spent two terms as governor from 1979 to 1987. He was defeated by Gov. Joan Finney in the Democratic gubernatorial primary last year and is a partner with Economic Development firms in Topeka. The business focuses on consulting, relations with overseas firms and searching for capital.
Carlin said that while he was governor, he realized the important connection between the private sector and the state universities.
"This is kind of bringing it all together," Carlin said of Midwest Superconductivity's funding of KU research.
As part of the company's relationship with the University, a license soon will be signed, Carlin said. The license will include a royalty section under which the University will be compensated for the patent on the technology.
