.timnnit standoff
In Brief
Reagan defends SDI; second summit uncertain
WASHINGTON President Reagan
said Monday night that his Iceland
summit with Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbac hev left the superpowers "closer
than ever" to an unprecedented cut in
nuclear arsenals, but he said he would
not trade away his futuristic anti
missile plan for an accord.
The summit almost produced an
unprecedented agreement toeliminate
all long-range nuclear missiles "from
the face of the earth by 19!)(," Reagan
said in a broadcast address from the
Oval Office. He said talks ended when
the Soviets insisted on confining Star
Wars research to the laboratory.
The next step is up to the Soviets, he
said. "There was no indication from Mr.
Gorbachev as to when or whether he
plans to travel to the United States" for
a follow-up summit, the president said,
adding:
"Our invitation stands. We continue
to believe additional meetings would
be useful. But that's a decision the
Soviets must make."
Reagan said, near the conclusion of
his 20-minute address, "if there is one
impression that I carry away with me
from these October talks, it is that,
unlike the past, we are dealing now
from a position of strength."
". . . SDI is America's insurance pol
icy that the Soviet Union would keep
the commitments made at Reykjavik.
SDI is America's security guarantee if
the Soviets should, as they have done
too often in the past, fail to comply
with their solemn commit ments. SDI is
what brought the Soviets back to arms
control talks at Geneva and Iceland.
SDI is the key to a world without
nuclear weapons."
NATO's reaction
BRUSSELS, Belgium America's
NATO allies expressed disappointment
Monday that promising arms reduction
initiatives were derailed at Reykjavik
by a dispute over "Star Wars," and
urged the superpowers to move quicky
toward reaching agreement.
The allies, briefed on the weekend
superpower summit on Monday by Secre
tary ol'State George I Shultz, expressed
particular disappointment that an agree
ment was blocked to rid Europe of
medium-range U.S. and Soviet missiles.
Shultz flew to Brussels from Reyk
javik early Monday and met with North
Atlantic Treaty Organization foreign
ministries and other allied representa
tives for about three hours.
The secretary of state acknowledged
there was disappointment with the
outcome of the summit, telling a news
conference, "Of course people would
like to have had final closure" of the
agreements on medium-range missiles
and a 50 percent cutback on long-range
weapons.
Shultz, however, was not optimistic
about prospects for a second full-scale
superpower summit, which many Euro
peans had hoped would be arranged in
Reykjavik. He said no date was set and
"No active planning is being made."
World record pumpkin weigh-in
TOPSFIELD, Mass. An annual search for Earth's plumpest pumpkin
was won by two brothers from the Garden State on Monday as farmers here
and in 1 1 other locations around the world lugged their gargantuan gourds
to the scale.
The Gancarz brothers, vegetable growers in Wrightstown, N J., won with
two heavyweights: Robert Gancarz's 671-pounder and Edward Gancarz's
618-pounder. Just behind them was a 579-pound squash raised by Allen
Nesbit of Conesus, N.Y.
The former world champion weighed 618 pounds and was grown in
Chelan, Wash.
The world champion earned $4,000 and the New England champ
brought home $1,000.
Omaha to revamp convention center
OMAHA, City administrators have scratched a proposed convention
center along the Missouri River and will instead propose tearing down the
present convention complex and rebuilding on the site, a city official said
Monday.
Terry Forsberg, public events manager, said the project would have to
be approved by the City Council and would probably be built over five
years. The cost is estimated at $60 million, he said.
Forsberg said the revised proposal would cost about $40 million less
than the Boyle administration's initial proposal to link a riverfront con
vention center with the downtown Central Park Mall.
According to Forsberg, the Boyle administration's new proposal calls
for a three-story 1 50,000-square-foot convention center. The second phase
of the development would be construction of a 15,000- to 16,000-seat arena
to replace the present arena, which seats 10,000.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - An Italian
American biologist and an American
biochemist won the 1986 Nobel Prize in
medicine Monday for their discovery of
key proteins that appear to orchestrate
the body's growth from the first moments
in the womb until degeneration and
death.
The prize was awarded jointly to Rita
Levi-Montaicini, director of the cellu
lar biology laboratory at the National
Council of Scientific Research in Rome,
and Stanley Cohen of Vanderbilt Uni
versity School of Medicine in Nashville,
Tenn.
The Nobel Assembly of Stockholm's
Karolinska Institute said their discov
ery of substances regulating cell growth
"opened new fields of widespread impor
tance to basic science."
As a result, the Nobel committee
said, "we may increase our understand
ing of many disease states such as
developmental malformations, degen
erative changes in senile dementia,
delayed wound healing and tumor di
seases." The two researchers will share a
cash stipend of $290,000.
Ms. Levi-Montalcini, 77, and Cohen,
63, worked together in the 1950s at
Washington University in St. Louis, Mo.
At the time, she was a biology professor
and he was her assistant, said univer
sity spokesman Fred Volkmann.
"I lucked out," Cohen told a news
conference in Nashville. "I made them
(the discoveries) while I was studying
something else."
Ms. Levi-Montalcini, who holds dual
American and Italian citizenships, said
she was "so very happy." She said she
would continue to work and give the
prize money to young scholars of neu
robiology. Before this year's award, 59 Ameri
cans had won the medicine prize alone
or jointly since it was first awarded in
1901.

Earthquake victims recover
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador Homeless Salvadorans set up makeshift
shelters in fields, the Maternity Hospital delivered babies in the parking lot, and
survivors Monday went about burying the nation's 890 known earthquake dead.
President Jose Napoleon Duarte put the number of injured in last Friday's
catastrophe at 10,000 and the homeless at 150,000.
Rescue workers intensified searches for victims trapped under tons of twisted
rubble, as aftershocks continued Monday.
The devastation was confined mostly to this capital city of 800,000 people,
and Duarte told El Salvador in a broadcast Sunday night, "We are practically
going to have to reconstruct all of the city."
Arkansas man
tops rich list
of Americans
NEW YORK There are du Ponts
and Rockefellers, and even a Perdut.
But the annual Forbes magazine list of
the wealthiest people in America is
topped by an Arkansas retailer who is
proof that the rich often do get richer.
Sam Moore Walton, 68, founder of
the Wal-Mart discount stores, has more
money than any other American, ac
cording to the annual "Forbes 400." His
$4.5 billion is impressive. Last year,
when he also topped the list, he had a
paltry $2.8 billion.
The list, which will appear in the
Oct. 27 issue of Forbes, also includes
some famous newcomers including a
talk show host, an ageless rock 'n' roll
cheerleader, a clothing designer and a
chicken king.
It took at least $180 million to make
this year's list, up from $150 million
last year.
Television producer and former talk
show host Merv Griffin was listed at
$235 million. Dick Clark, also a televi
sion producer and host of "American
Bandstand" is worth $180 million. Ralph
Lauren was listed at $300 million. And
Frank Perdue's chicken empire brought
him $200 million.
