Reports link CIA to Aristide critics
Agency paid military foes of ousted chief, papers say
The CIA paid key members of the military regime now controlling Haiti from the mid-1980s until at least the 1991 coup that drove Aristide from office, the New York Times reported yesterday.
NEW YORK — The forces aligned against ousted Haitian President Jean-Bert Ardishe — before and after he was elected to office — included the CIA, according to published reports.
The Associated Press
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday that the CIA tried to funnel money to Aristide's critics during Haiti's 1987-88 presidential cam-
Aristide supporters criticized the payments, but Rep. Robert Torricelli, a member of the House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees, defended them as crucial to U.S. efforts to gain an understanding of Haitian politics.
The payments to Haitian generals and politicians were part of the CIA's normal intelligence-gathering operations, the New York Times said, quoting government officials it did not identify.
when the CIA tried to funnel money to Aristide's critics in 1987 and 1988, he was not a candidate for president, but his calls for a boycott of the military-sponsored election figured prominently in the campaign.
"We were engaged in covert action on behalf of the National Security Council," the paper quoted one of the sources as saying. "We were involved in a range of support for a range of candidates."
paign, but Senate opposition blocked the plan.
Aristide was ousted by a military coup in 1901. His plans to return to Haiti Sunday with United Nations support were thwarted, and opponents have been threatening to replace him if he does not resign.
The plan was killed after Senate Intelligence Committee members objected to interfering with the election and demanded to know to whom the CIA wanted to give the money.
CIA representative Kent Harrington refused to comment, the Los Angeles Times said.
Columbia lands after longest shuttle mission
The Associated Press
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Columbia glided to Earth under a rising sun and setting moon yesterday after the longest space shuttle flight in history. Then, its seven astronauts went to bed — sort of.
After 14 days in orbit, the crew was carried off Columbia on stretchers to preserve the effects of weightlessness for tests that will be conducted on some of them for up to 45 days.
Except for some experiments to measure reactions when the astronauts stand up, the crew was to remain prone much of the time after landing and during an afternoon flight to Johnson Space Center in Houston.
"Our best model for simulating
weightlessness is putting people to bed," said project scientist Frank Sulzman.
Columbia floated through a clear morning sky over the Mojave Desert and 35,000 spectators cheered its 7:05 a.m. touchdown.
At 14 days, 13 minutes, the mission exceeded by nearly five hours the shuttle flight record set by a crew aboard Columbia last year. It was the fourth-longest flight of any kind in U.S. space history.
Columbia logged 5.8 million miles circling the Earth 225 times after its Oct. 18 launch from Kennedy Space Center, Fla.
Touchdown meant the end of the line for all but five of 42 rats that survived the flight. A team of 100 scientists waited to quickly dissect them
after the rats were unloaded from Columbia. Six other rats were dissected in space.
Tom Utsman, NASA's shuttle director, said Columbia sustained some damage to its protective heat tiles and to a thermal shield in the engine area, but the damage wasn't major.
"I don't think it's a show-stoper by "iw" he said.
The crew, which included two physicians, a biochemist and a veterinarian, focused on medical research to better understand how the body reacts to weightlessness.
NASA wants to know what causes side effects of space travel and how those maladies can be counteracted. Common ailments include motion sickness, anemia, weakened muscles and bones, and lightheadedness upon
return to gravity.
The crew will be subjected to "grueling" tests over two weeks, Sulzman said. Some will undergo more tests over 45 days. All will then be part of the on-going lifetime study of NASA's astronauts.
NASA's next shuttle flight and the last one for 1993 is the monumental Hubble Space Telescope repair mission.
Slated for a Dec. 1 liftoff, the 11-day flight by the shuttle Endeavor is considered the most ambitious mission in shuttle history.
Endeavor's astronauts are to perform a record five and possibly seven space walk to correct Hubble's distorted vision and make other repairs.
THE NEWS in brief

Genetically altered bacteria may work as new birth control
Salmonella bacteria have been genetically altered to produce an oral birth control vaccine that primes the immune system to reject sperm before conception, a researcher reported yesterday.
The vaccine causes a harmless, temporary infection in the intestine that triggers antibodies against genetic components of sperm that have been spliced into the bacteria, said Roy Curtiss of Washington University in St. Louis.
Curtiss is using the genetically engineered forms to produce vaccines against hepatitis B and malaria. Human trials of the hepatitis B vaccine have begun, and the Army plans to begin tests of the malaria vaccine this winter, Curtiss said.
Tests of the contraceptive vaccine have been done only in mice so far. But the results suggest that a single dose might prevent conception for several months and would be reversible, Curtiss said.
"The idea now would be you don't get your booster, and within a year or so you can conceive again," he said at a meeting of the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing.
The method also might be used to produce a male vaccine that would disarm sperm, making men temporarily infertile. Curtiss said.
Curtiss expressed some concern about the potential for abuse of the vaccine.
The vaccines might prove especially useful in developing nations and rural areas because they don't require refrigeration and are cheaper to produce than the bottles that would contain them, Curtiss said.
Because of the temporary nature of the vaccine, however, "this is something someone might be able to undo," he said.
"You could put it in the milk or water and immunize everybody," he said. "You could think of government or some other entity misusing that."
The rapper, whose real name is William Drayton, is facing charges of attempted murder, possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment following the 9:15 a.m. shooting, said Officer Peter Friscia, a police spokesman.
A police officer on patrol heard a shot near an apartment house, entered the building and was told that Drayton fired the round, Friscia said. A 380-caliber semi-automatic pistol was recovered, the spokesman said.

The debate focused on the clash between the ethics committee's determined inquiry — which began with allegations of sexual misconduct and intimidation against Packwood — and the Oregon Republican's assertion of his constitutional privacy rights.
When the committee requested those entries, Packwood's lawyers — who had been copying committee-designated pages — refused to provide them. The committee, having reviewed the diaries from 1969-89, then voted to subpoena the diaries from Jan. 1, 1989, to the present.
Yesterday's debate, however, focused on the committee's discovery of entries outside those areas, which Bryan said could involve criminal conduct.

The committee has been investigating allegations that Packwood made unwanted sexual advances to more than two dozen women and attempted to intimidate some of the accusers to keep them quiet.
The full Senate now is deciding whether to vote to enforce that subpoena request.

Members of the U.S. national luge team were attacked over the weekend in the eastern German winter resort of Oberhof by skinheads who taunted the team's only African-American member.
COMIC CORNER
Drayton, 34, was arrested last year for an outstanding warrant on a traffic violation and a family court warrant when he was accused of punching his girlfriend.
"The Ethics Committee cannot turn a blind eye" to potential violations of criminal law and standards of conduct, Sen. Richard Bryan, the panel's chairman, said in asserting a need for the diaries.
The team left the training ground a day early. They left behind a mayor worried that world-class athletes who come from as far as Japan might now shun Oberhof.
The debate, sometimes emotional, sometimes stuck on legalities, raged on for nearly seven hours before senators gave up for the night and decided to continue today.
A nervous Senate debated sex, privacy and allegations of possible criminal conduct yesterday in a historic effort to enforce a subpoena for Sen. Bob Packwood's "very, very personal" diaries.
