DETROIT (AP) - New York
media executives may have had to
set aside some stereotypes to listen
to Detroit leaders talk about the good
side of the Michigan metropolis.
"When they recovered from their
defensive postures, and discovered
that we had no weapons under our
coats, I think we had a very produc-
tive discussion," Mayor Coleman
Young said yesterday.
ABC television stung Detroit
leaders with a Nov. 8 "PrimeTime
Live" segment that painted the city
as an arson, crack, and firearm
plagued wasteland.
That echoed a New York Times
magazine article excerpted from
Ze'ev Chafets' book Devil's Night:
and Other True Tales of Detroit,
portraying a hopeless ghetto.
Young told a news conference he
and members of the Detroit
Renaissance development group
didn't go to New York to deny prob-
lems like Devil's Night vandalism
that leaves firefighters battling arson
blazes on the night before
Halloween.
But he said the group also wanted
to talk about Detroit's skilled work
force, programs to resurrect urban
schools, the expansion of Cobo
Center, and other projects to rebuild
the city's riverfront.
"We think they came away with a
clear understanding that there's a
heck of a lot more to Detroit than
Devil's Night," said Peter Stroh,
chair of the Stroh Brewery Company
and of Detroit Renaissance.
Also making the trip were NBD
Bank Chief Executive Officer
Charles Fisher, Michigan
Consolidated Gas Chair Alfred
Glancy, General Motors Executive
Vice President Alan Smith, and
Detroit Renaissance President Robert
McCabe.
They visited NBC and then ABC*
where they met with Richard Wald,
senior vice-president of ABC News;
Walter Porges, vice-president of
news practices; Rick Kaplan, execu-
tive producer of PrimeTime Live;
and Dez Chatillon, an ABC attorney.
They had an off-the-record lunch
at the New York Times with
Publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger
and other senior editors.
Fisher said the delegation tried
top convey that they recognized
Detroit's problems, "but we had
some approaches to try to resolve
them."
"And they undoubtedly will fol-
low up on the progress of those ef-
forts," Fisher said.

member of a bipartisan congres-
sional group that met with Bush at
the White House. "The fact that Sad-
dam Hussein has completely ignored
reality is going to affect the debate."
Rep. Dante Fascell, (D-Fla.),
chair of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee predicted that Congress
would pass a resolution along the
lines requested by Bush, mirroring
the United Nations resolution autho-
rizing force if Iraq hasn't withdrawn
from Kuwait by next Tuesday.
"We're at the point where
Congress needs to speak up. It's a
step backwards if we back off at this
point," Fascell said. "I think it's
looked like war for some time."
However, another lawmaker at
the meeting, Jim Leach (R-Iowa),
said it was not yet time to give up on
diplomacy.
"This is not the death knell of
peaceful negotiations," Leach said. "I
still believe that Saddam is prepared
for last minute considerations."
He said that he felt after the meet-
ing with Bush that "there's an under-
standing that third parties may play a
role in the next few days," a refer-
ence to United Nations Secretary
General Javier Perez de Cuellar,
among others.
While Bush sought to enlarge
backing for his war threat, some
Democrats on Capitol Hill continued
to refine their own resolution stating
that the United States should not
now go to war, but should continue
to use economic sanctions and
diplomacy to resolve the crisis.
With the Senate and House set to
convene on Thursday to begin con-
sideration of the gulf issue, it ap-
peared that lawmakers would be con-
fronted with one of the most morally
and politically painful choices of
their career.
"This is a watershed issue," said
Sen. Patrick Leahy, (D-Vt.). "In my
16 years here I can't think of any
vote that people will remember as
much as this one."
Separate resolutions were drafted
by House and Senate Democrats that
approve of Bush's initial gulf strat-
egy, but which state the time has
not yet come to resort to military
force.
Some versions of the resolutions
also stipulate that Bush must come
to Congress for authorization when
he makes a decision to commit
troops to battle, and promise him an
expedited debate and vote on the is-
sue at that time.
Bush's meeting with congres-
sional supporters left lawmakers
convinced that the president remains
determined to use force if necessary.

Ann Arbor police arrested a man
Tuesday shortly after he stormed into
the office of Assistant City Attorney
Stefani Carter carrying a broken
shotgun.
The man, an Ann Arbor resident
immediately hurled the pieces of the
gun to the floor when he entered the
office.
Carter said she wasn't scared
when she saw the armed man burst
into her office. "It really wasn't that
big of a deal," Carter said. "I can't
believe it's getting so much
attention."
"I didn't think he was coming
after me," Carter said. "I don't think
his intent was to hurt or shoot
anyone. I mean, if he wanted to
shoot, he passed plenty of people

of the University's Task Force on

could Carter said the man was angry
about the condition in which he
found his gun when police recently
returned it after a period of
confiscation.
"I had dealt with the man before
- I cannot remember regarding what
- but he had contacted me, asking
if I could help him get his gun
back," said Carter. "I don't know
why it was confiscated."
"I checked into the matter and
told him that if he could get a letter
from his doctor saying that there was
no reason why he shouldn't be able
to operate the gun, that he should be
able to get it back. There was no
legal reason why he shouldn't,"
Carter said.

POLL
Continued from page 1
The AP also asked what the
United States should do if it succeeds
in getting Iraq out of Kuwait.
If Saddam remains in power, 49
percent said the United States should
keep its troops in the gulf area, and
45 percent said the troops should be
withdrawn. Of those who favor keep-
ing a military presence, about three
in eight say they would not feel that
way if Saddam were overthrown.
The Washington Post-ABC
News Poll this week showed 63
percent think the United States
should go to war with Iraq to force it
out of Kuwait "at some point after
Jan. 15."
Architecture and director of a research
group called Studies in Urban
Security.
"This is his area of expertise,"
Dawson said of Snyder, who also
served as consultant to the task
force.
The task force, which issued a
safety report last spring, recom-

administrator, was standing outside
his office talking to a colleague
when he saw the man carrying the
gun.
"When he passed by, the gun
was in two pieces. He did not appear
to be dangerous, Mason added.
Carter said at least two Ann
Arbor police detectives had seen the
man downstairs taking the gun out
of its case and had been following
him as he headed toward her office.
Lieutenant Tinsey said the man*
was released pending furthe
investigation, and that his gun was
once again confiscated.
Detective David Burke said a
misdemeanor warrant had been filed
against the man, but said he was
unsure of the exact charges.
mended that the University take 12
steps to increase campus safety.
The committee will be influentia*
but "will not have absolute authority
over anything," said Snyder. "I
think I can say I'm in agreement
with the twelve (task force) recom-
mendations," he added.
Algeria's foreign minister was in
Geneva, perhaps looking to play a
mediator's role, and Luxembourg's
foreign minister announced the Eu-
ropean Community had invited Azizo
to a meeting in Algiers next week.
A senior Palestine Liberation Or-
ganization official also was in
Geneva.
'Let us all hope that
the (Iraqi) leadership
will have the wisdom*
to choose peace.'
-Jim Baker
Secretary of State
As for the next step, Baker raised
the possibility of "seeking the use of
the good offices" of the United Na-
tions secretary general for further*
diplomacy but ruled out a personal
visit to Baghdad for a meeting with
Saddam.

soared within moments of Baker's
pessimistic report of his session.
The meeting had cleared one anx-
ious hurdle when it didn't collapse in
the opening moments. Iraq said last
week the meeting could be over in
five minutes if Baker only intended
to deliver a letter from Bush demand-
ing full withdrawal by next Tuesday.
Nevertheless, Baker handed Aziz a
letter from Bush to Saddam during
the meeting, but the Iraqi Foreign
Minister refused to carry it back to
Baghdad.
Aziz said the letter contained lan-
guage inappropriate for an exchange
between heads of state. Asked about
Aziz's comment, Bush said the letter
was "not rude," but direct, an at-
tempt to make sure Saddam clearly
understands the U.S. position.
"Let us all hope that the (Iraqi)
leadership will have the wisdom to
choose peace," Baker said.
Said Aziz: "That's up to the
American administration to decide."
Said Saddam Hussein in Iraq:
Americans will "swim in their own

blood" if war breaks out.
In Washington, President Bush
said Iraq had shown "no flexibility
whatsoever" in the Geneva talks and
it was now more important than ever
for Congress to back the use of force
to drive Saddam Hussein's army
from Kuwait.
He issued an executive order giv-
ing the government authority to get
priority delivery of any needed food
or industrial material.
"I am not giving up on peace at
all," Bush said. "We took the extra
step in terms of the United States
meeting with Iraq."
Baker said he did not hear "any
new proposal" from Aziz, although
he said Aziz did suggest more dis-
cussions. But Bush said he has taken
"the last bilateral negotiation."
Baker, looking weary as he an-
swered questions from reporters at
the Geneva hotel where he met Aziz,
said he hoped other diplomatic ef-
forts would persuade Iraq to withdraw
from Kuwait. European leaders have
expressed a hope they can talk to
Baghdad before the Jan. 15 deadline.
