Nobel prize winner says leaders should read more
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Nobel literature prize winner Joseph
Broadsky says there would be less grief in the world if leaders were
chosen on the basis of what they read rather than their political

a system of beliefs or a philosophical doctrine,” the Russian exile poet
said the traditional Nobel lecture in the Swedish Academy’s Grand Hall
in Stockholm’s old town.

‘RoII-up-your-sleeves’ session
Aides describe Reagan and Gorbachev meeting as productive
WASHINGTON _ President Re
agan and Soviet leader Mikhail S.
Gorbachev grappled with differences
over Afghanistan and cutbacks in stra
tegic nuclear arms Wednesday in a
two hour meeting that ended “on a
very optimistic note.”
“This was a day of heavy lifting,”
presidential spokesman Marlin
Fitzwatcr said at the conclusion of the
leader’s lone meeting of the day.
Reagan and Gorbachev are to wind
up their discussions with an Oval
Office meeting and a working lunch
eon on Thursday. The White House
said Reagan would address the nation
at 8 p.m. CST today from the Oval
Office, just hours after Gorbachev
sums up the meetings at a Soviet
Embassy news conference.
Reagan and Gorbachev discussed
the Iran-Iraq war, the seven-year-old
Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and
prospects for cutting strategic nuclear
arms, Fitzwaler said.
“The president and the general
secretary' were very pleased with the
meeting this morning. They left on a
very optimistic note. There’s a very
good feeling on where we are going,”
Fitzwatcr said.
But two administration officials,
both insisting on anonymity, said af
terward that Fitzwatcr conveyed an
impression of too much optimism and
that no breakthroughs were near. Cir
culating through the same ballroom
w here Fitzwatcr had just briefed, the
officials said he had meant to convey
optimism about the warmth of the
leaders’ relationship, not movement
on issues.
Fit/water said it was “a kind of roll
up-your-slccves” session after the
pre-ordained drama of Tuesday’s
treaty signing.
As the meeting broke up, Gor
bachev “smiled at me and the presi
dent winked,” said Gennady Gerasi
mov, the Soviet Foreign Ministry
spokesman. He and Fit/water de
clined to discuss details of the meet
ing.
Gorbachev’s time with Reagan
was limited because of the Soviet
leader’s private agenda.
Soviets express joy over arms treaty
MOSCOW — Soviets shed tears of joy and looked hopefully to a visit
by President Reagan next year as they spoke word of goodwill Wednesday fol
lowing the signing of the nuclear arms treaty by the two superpowers.
‘ There hasn’t been any other president who has gone so far to meet,”
said a 55-year-old man from Rostov in southern Russia, who identified himself
only as Nikolai. “We, two great powers, will trade and live in friendship and
peace.’’ At the Cheremushkinsky Farmers Market in the southern part of the
capital
Tatyana Loginovskikh, who was selling apples at the market, burst
into tears when she recalled hearing a radio report about the signing of the
treaty by Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the general secretary of the Soviet
Communist Party.

MANILA, Philippines — Dozens
of soldiers raided a house Wednesday
night and captured Gregorio Honasan,
the colonel called “Gringo” who led a
coup attempt against President Cora
zon Aquino in August that cost 53
lives.
Aquino, who had accused Honasan
of trying to kill her and her family
during the attack on the presidential
palace, said she was “really over
joyed” at his capture.
Honasan’s effort was the most seri
ous of several major plots to unseat the
government since Aquino took office
Feb. 25, 1986, and Ferdinand E.
Marcos lied the counli y after 20 years
as president.
Gen. Fidel V. Ramos, military
chief of staff, said four other rebel
officers and two civilians were ar
rested with Honasan about 7:30 p.m.
in the Valle Verde district of suburban
Pasig and were undergoing “tactical
interrogation.”
