THIS DAY In 'U' History Graduate student murdered in front of apartment Sept. 14, 1980 - A Univer- sity graduate student was found stabbed to death outside her west Ann Arbor apartment Sun- day morning. The student was the third local woman to die under these circumstances in the past five months. The body of Rebecca Huff, 30, was dis- covered at 8 a.m. on the steps of her Walden Hills apartment on South Maple Road. Ann Arbor Police Chief Wil- liam Corbett said there are no suspects in custody for the crime, but that there were simi- larities between Huff's death and the murders of two other local women. Corbett said sus- pects are being investigated, but no arrests have been made. The body of Shirley Small, 17, the first victim, was found on April 20 near her home in the Georgetown Townhouses on Page Avenue. Three months later, the body of Glenda Richmond, 23, was discovered outside her Univer- sity Townhouse apartment near Braeburn Circle. Corbett said nearly all of his detectives are working on the case and the Washtenaw County Sheriff's office and state police have also been notified.

Former Iranian president concludes five-day U.S. tour During visit to U.S., Khatami promoted nonviolent talks between East and West CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - Iran's former President Mohammad Khatami could be found munching seared salmon and Caesar salad last weekend with Harvard professors on the final leg of a five-city U.S. tour. In speeches, interviews and meetings with foreign policy groups, Khatami offered a moderate take on relations between East and West that focused on non- violence, discussion and mutual understanding - in sharp contrast to his hard-line successor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In some of the most significant U.S.-Iranian contact since the 1979 Islamic revolution, the former Iranian leader blended calls for tolerance with critiques of the U.S.-angering conservatives in both countries. Smiling gently beneath his black turban at talks in Washington, Chicago, Cambridge and Charlot- tesville, Va., the soft-spoken cleric was an unusual public face for a country that is locked in a nuclear standoff with the West, cracking down on dissent at home and accused of aiding Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon. He condemned the Sept. 11 attacks, endorsed a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, acknowledged the existence of the Holocaust and said that, at least for now, the U.S. presence in Iraq is necessary. He mixed conciliatory language with descriptions of the U.S. as an overreaching imperial power, and followed scholarly musings on tolerance and under- standing with defenses of what the West has called Iranian violations of human rights. The pleasant ring of the word 'Puritan' has always delighted the lovers of freedom, compassion and humanity," Khatami told an audience at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government in a speech Sunday that surveyed 200 years of American history. Khatami moved forward in time, his tone harden- ing as he described the growth of American power. "One cannot and ought not turn the world into one's military camp in the name of human rights and democracy," he said, a moment after also criticizing terrorism. In a tough question-and-answer session with stu- dents, he defended Hezbollah while denying that Iran supported it; endorsed the punishment of Iranian homosexuals while implying that the death penalty was extreme; and criticized the family of a Canadian- Iranian photojournalist for its reaction to her death in Iranian detention. "When he finished talking he was sweating under- neath his robes," said Graham Allison, a leading expert on nuclear weapons and director of the Ken- nedy School's Belfer Center for Science and Interna- tional Affairs. Khatami differed sharply on questions of domestic policy with Ahmadinejad, telling a questioner he dis- agreed with the Iranian president's call for a purge of secular and liberal professors. k .. .' ! .1 . 5,. r K i F W i . ,H .......
