Reunited Germany celebrates its 5th birthday
BONN, Germany (AP) - Leftists
protested and skirmished with police
yesterday in Duesseldorf, as reunited
Germany observed its fifth birthday by
toasting its achievements and lament-
ing the many ways the country remains
divided.
Speeches at Unity Day observances
and a television address by Chancellor
Helmut Kohl made it clear: West Ger-
many and communist East Germany
drifted so far apart during four decades
of forced separation that they won't be
truly united for years to come.
"It is true that not all wishes have
been fulfilled in the past five years,"
said Kohl, who as the West German
chancellor steered the two Germanys to
unification on Oct. 3, 1990.
Security officials had feared leftist
extremists would try to disrupt the
government's main Unity Day celebra-
tion in the central German city of
Duesseldorf, and they were right.
Before dawn, leftist militants torched
a car, hurled stones at police and
smashed the windows of a Duesseldorf
bank and department store. Police ar-
rested six youths and confiscated vari-
ous weapons.
About 3,000 protesters, many ofthem
masked, marched through the city
flanked by riot police. They carried
banners reading "Five Years of Unity
- There's Nothing To Celebrate."
Unity Day celebrations are hosted
every Oct. 3 by whichever of Germany's
16 states holds the presidency in the
upper house ofparliament. North Rhine-
Westphalia, where Duesseldorf is capi-
tal, has that role this year.
Inside a Duesseldorf concert hall,
Kohl, President Roman Herzog and
other guests heard speeches and music,
including a Mozart piece sung by Ameri-
can opera singer Barbara Hendricks.
Surrounding the concert hall were
some of the 3,000 police officers de-
ployed in Duesseldorf for Unity Day.
Johannes Rau, North Rhine-
Westphalia state governor, said that
since reunification, "the inner divisions
have disappeared, but reservations and
prejudices have made some invisible
gaps wider and deeper than before."
"Much remains to be done, above all in
the heads and hearts of Germans," he said.
Reunited Germany has Europe's stron-
gest economy and is assuming a growing
role in international affairs. Once-grim
communities in the formerly communist
region are starting to look like the bus-
tling cities and towns of the west.
Nevertheless, many westerners are
bitter that costs have gone up to pay for
unity and many easterners see their
lives as being dominated by the more
affluent West.
Unemployment in eastern Germany,
remains at a stubborn 14 percent, and
the region relies on federal government
infusions of more than $100 billion
annually because it can't yet support
itself with its own production.
Manfred Stolpe, governor of eastern
Germany's Brandenburg state, said he
gets the impression that westerners fre-
quently overlook the abilities and knowl-
edge of easterners just because their lives
were once dictated by communists.

Pope's visit begins today in New York
NEW YORK- A healthier Pope John Paul II returns to the
United States today with popularity ratings any politician
would covet. A New York Times-CBS News poll released
over the weekend found 92 percent of U.S. Catholic adults
view him favorably and only 4 percent unfavorably.
During his five-day visit, the pope will confer with
President Clinton, address the United Nations General
Assembly and preach to huge crowds at the outdoor Masses
in Giants Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands, at
Aqueduct race track, on the Great Lawn in New York's
Central Park and at Oriole Park in Baltimore.
Placido Domingo, Natalie Cole and Roberta Flack will Pope John Paul 11
warm up some of his audiences, while free tickets to his outdoor events are being
scalped at prices upwards of $100.
In addressing the United Nations tomorrow, John Paul II will have a far greater
presence than when he faced the world body at the outset of his papacy in 1979.
Away from the seats of power and the crowded bleacher seats, the pope will have
a casserole lunch with the homeless at a soup kitchen in Baltimore just down the
block from the nation's oldest Catholic cathedral.

Gores cope with
daughter's
WASHINGTON-TipperGore said
yesterday the Gore's 16-year-old daugh-
ter, who was cited by police for drink-
ing last weekend, is wrestling with the
public attention as well as "the severe
disappointment of her family and friends
and herself."
Sarah Gore was cited Friday in sub-
urban Montgomery County, Md., after
a police officer saw her holding an open
beer while sitting in a car outside a
party. The driver of the car was not
drinking.
Civil citations also were issued to
several other juveniles, police say. The
maximum penalty for underage posses-
sion is $500.
The family is dealing with Sarah's
situation privately, Mrs. Gore said,
"talking to her like all families should
to their teen-agers about the availabil-
ity of alcohol and the fact the tempta-
tions are out there.
"She broke our rules and she broke the
law. She's extremely miserable and un-
happy, I can tell you that," Mrs. Gore said
in an interview on Fox Morning News.

Last year, Mrs. Gore said in inter-
views that she was concerned about the
prevalence of teen-age drinking. She
urgedparents to teach their children not
to drink and to forbid drinking at teen
parties.
HurrCane Opal
heads coastward
PENSACOLA, Fla. - Hurricane
Opal, the season's ninth, headed to-
ward the northeastern Gulf of Mexico
late yesterday afternoon.
A hurricane watch extended from
Morgan City, La., eastward across the
Florida Panhandle to the mouth of the
Suwannee River on Florida's north-
west Gulf Coast.
Forecasters believed Opal's most
likely path would bring it southeast of
Louisiana this afternoon and then onto
the Florida Panhandle at about mid-
night. From there, the storm would prob-
ably continue northeast into Alabama
and Georgia, said Max Mayfield of the
National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Forecasters believed the highest prob-
ability was that Opal would make land-
fall in Pensacola.

Macedonanpres.*ment spokesman Nicholas Burns said
the U.S. administration "very much
ijured by Car bomb condemns this cowardly terrorist act."
SKOPJE, Macedonia--Macedonian
President Kiro Gligorov was seriously
wounded yesterday in another act of
violence in the Balkans - a car bomb
ripped apart his armored Mercedes, kill-
ing his driver and shattering windows
as high as the ninth floor.
Gligorov lost his right eye in the
blast, according to Saso Ordanoski, di-
rector of Macedonian TV. Doctors re-
moved shrapnel from the 78-year-old
president's head.
Two suspects in their mid-20s were
arrested in the bombing, authorities
said, but their identities were not re-
leased.
"For now, Gligorov's life is not in
danger," a police statement said. But
doctors noted that any head injury
was serious for a man of Gligorov's
age.
The 45 pounds of explosives, packed
into the trunk of an old Citroen, blew up
as Gligorov's car passed by. The blast
ripped open the car's right front door,
and the right rear door where Gligorov
sat was penetrated by metal shards.
The assassination attempt came as
Macedonia, an impoverished state of 2
million, seemed headed toward more
stability and better relations with its
neighbors.

WINCHESTER, England-Despite
publicity surrounding Britain's biggest
serial murder case, the trial opened yes-
terday with no instructions to thejuryto
avoid news coverage.
Rosemary West, whose husband
hanged himself ratherthan face charges
ofserial murder, is charged in the deaths
of 10 young women, including a daugh-
ter and a step-daughter.
Judge Charles Mantell told jurors
that although they won't be shielded
from media coverage of the trial, they
must consider only the evidence they
hear in court.
"Don't let members of your family or
anyone else offer their views about the
case," Mantell told jurors.
The prosecution is expected to start
laying out its case next week, and the
trial is expected to last no more than
eight weeks.
Frederick West, who hadbeen charged
with 12 murders, hanged himself in his
prison cell on New Year's Day.
Despite publicity surrounding the
murder, jurors will be permitted to go
home each night and they have not been
forbidden from watching or reading
news coverage of the trial.
