BELFAST, Northern Ireland -
Belfast has become a city of fear.
In the past eight days, 23 people have died. It was among the bloodiest periods in the last 25 years.
The province's Roman Catholic minority, in particular, fears the surge in indiscriminate killings by pro-
Both men want British-ruled Northern Ireland reunited with the Republic of Ireland, but Hume's party opposes IRA violence to drive the British out.
British Prime Minister John Major and Irish Premier Albert Reynolds spoke Friday of reviving political talks which collapsed in November after 16 fruitless months.
Before the violence intensified, many Catholics were cautiously optimistic that peace was in the offing. The community's most prominent political leaders — John Hume of the moderate Social Democratic and Labor Party and Gerry Adams of the IRA-supported Sinn Fein — were holding talks to reach a common position.
Most Protestants never liked the Hume-Adams initiative because they felt talking to the IRA was akin to surrender.
Commanders of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, Northern Ireland's mostly Protestant police force, admit that they can't guard every public place and roadway and appealed to citizens to keep their eyes open.

THE NEWS in brief
LONDON
Newspaper reports plot to assassinate Saddam foiled by U.S. source
The United States refused to support a plot by Iraqi dissidents to kill Saddam Hussein and may have betrayed the coup plotters, The Sunday Times of London reported.
The newspaper quoted a London-based Iraqi dissident, Sa'ad Jabr, as saying that CIA agents and Iraqis discussed the plot at meetings in London in November 1992.
A CIA spokesman in Washington, Kent Harrington, said the agency had no comment on the newspaper's report.
the agency had no comment on the newspaper's report. After months of silence, the Clinton administration said it would not back the plot because turnoil in Iraq could endanger the Middle East peace process, The Sunday Times said.
Jabr pressed the message on to the plotters and assumed they would scrap their plans. Instead, they decided to go ahead with an assassination attempt in Baghdad on July 17, when Saddam was to attend a parade marking the anniversary of his Ba'ath Party's 1968 seizure of power.
The newspaper said unnamed U.S. officials confirmed the talks had taken place but gave no further details.
Italian director Fellini dies at 73
ROME
Federico Fellini, the master Italian director whose imagination and fantasy created Oscar-winning films such as "8%" and "La Dolce Vita," died yesterday, the ANSA news agency reported. He was 73.
Fellini had been in a coma since suffering a heart attack
and respiratory problems Oct. 17. At the time, he had been recovering from a stroke suffered in August.
He died soon after noon at Rome's Polyclinic Hospital. Saturday was the 50th anniversary of his marriage to actress Giulietta Masina. Masina had been too distraught to remain by her husband's bedside and had visited him only a few times.
His condition had steadily worsened since lapsing into the coma. He had been running a fever of between 101 and 102 degrees since Friday.
Fellini was known as "Il Mago," the magician, who conjured make-believe, mystery and film magic that won four Oscars, for "La Strada," "Le Notti di Cabiria," "8½" and "Amarcord."
LOS ANGELES
Actor River Phoenix dies at 23
LOS ANGELES
River Phoenix, whose natural intensity as a teen-age actor in the 1986 film "Stand by Me" launched his career, collapsed outside a nightclub early yesterday and died. He was 23.
Friends reported that Phoenix was "acting strange" as he left the Waco Room in West Hollywood about 1 a.m., said sheriff's Deputy Diane Hecht. She didn't elaborate.
Paramedics were called when the actor collapsed, and he was rushed to Cedars Sinai Medical Center. Phoenix was pronounced dead soon before 2 a.m.
The death is under investigation, and an autopsy will probably be performed today. Sheriff's detectives were handling the case, as a matter of routine, but "it's not a homicide investigation at this time." Hecht said.
A year after his 1985 film debut in "Explorers," Phoenix showed his star potential in director Rob Reiner's "Stand by Me," where he portrayed Chris Chambers.
About the only thing it can't do is cure writer's block.
