They are specifically mem bers of the Naval ROTC program. In the same story, Kent Leonard was identified as a cadet. Leonard’s offi cial rank in the program is midshipman. r Is Life Overwhelming You?^ We Can Help! • Family Issues? • Feeling Down? • Trouble Steering? • Work Stress?

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A North Korean defector with family ties to the leader of the communist country was shot and critically wounded Sat urday in an attack that South Korean police blamed on North Korean agents. The man shot was not Hwang Jang Yop, who defected Wednesday and was a close confidant of North Korean leader Kim Jong Jl. * Lee Han-young, 36, was shot Sat urday night outside the apartment where he had been staying in Bundang, police said. Bundang is a southern sub urb of Seoul. A Lee, a nephew of North Korean leader Kim’s first wife, Sung Hae-rim, defected to South Korea in 1982. The attack further heightened ten sions between North and South Korea, which have been locked in a hostile standoff this week over the defection of Hwang. North Korea alleged Hwang had been kidnapped, and had threat ened unspecified retaliation. South Korea put its police and mili tary on high alert after Hwang defected while visiting China, and it stepped up security even moreafter Lee was shot. It called an emergency meeting Sun day of top security officials. Authorities said they were trying to determine if there was a connection between the defection in China and the shooting in South Korea. Before the attack, a woman pur porting to be a magazine reporter called the apartment to ask when Lee would be home, police said. A neighbor told police he heard a scream and looked out of his home to see two men confronting Lee at the entrance to the apartment. One man held a gun to Lee, neighbor Park Jong eun said. The man shot Lee in the chest and head, and both attackers ran away. Lee uttered only two words alter the shooting: “Spy, spy,” said Nam Sang won, an owner of the apartment where Lee had been staying. Lee held up two fingers, perhaps indicating the number of attackers. Ydnhap news agency said police found two shells from a Belgian-made Browning pistol—a standard weapon for North Korean agents. Military plans hostage rescue in Peru LIMA, Peru (AP)—U.S. and Pe ruvian paratroopers would plunge into the compound from whirring helicop ters, plant explosives at six points around the diplomatic mansion and storm the building. In a nighttime operation that would take oily seven minutes — but could leave as many as 90 people dead — soldiers would seize leftist Tupac Amaru rebels and try to rescue 72 hos tages. At least that’s the military plan, if Peru’s hostage standoff cannot be re solved peacefully, a major Peruvian newspaper reported Sunday. But Diaro La Republica reported that the army, fearing high casualties, wants to leave the raid as a last resort. The newspaper quoteda Feb. 5 “In tervention Plan” by the Army Intelli gence Agency as saying “it cannot be assured that a military action will be clean; there could be numerous ... losses.” u An assault on the residence could bring with it the deaths of everyone who is in there.” Isaac Velazco Ttipac Amaru spokesman In fact, “an assault on the residence could bring with it the deaths of every one who is in there,” a Tupac Amaru spokesman, Isaac Velazco, told The Associated Press on Sunday. A spokesman for the U.S. South ern Command reached in Panama de nied any U.S. military planning to free the hostages. “We are not involved in the situa tion down there,” said the spokesman, who would not give his name. “There are no American citizens inside and we are not involved. It is a matter for the Peruvian government.” La Republica said that the military plan calls for backup from the U.S. Southern Command, using Hispanic soldiers from the U.S. Special Forces. Fujimori said several weeks after the crisis began that he twice turned down offers by the U.S. government for use of its Delta Force commandos to help resolve the crisis. Hate broccoli? It’s genetic SEATTLE (AP) — Knowing this may not make broccoli taste any better, but if you find the stuff dis gusting the reason may be in your genes. Scientists studying people’s food preferences are finding a strong inherited tendency to like or reject all sorts of foods — includ ing many that the health gurus say are good for you. Foods like broccoli, Brussels sprouts and mustard greens, which are naturally bitter anyway, can seem unpleasantly so to some be cause of the taste genes people in herited. Indeed, it seems the whole world can be split up into three categories — non-tasters, tasters and super tasters — depending on the inten sity of the way they perceive bitter ness, sweetness and other taste sen sations. “Super-tasting children will probably not like Brussels sprouts or broccoli, no matter what you do. The reasons are genetic,” said Adam Drewnowski of the Univer sity of Michigan. Researchers in this emerging field categorize people by the way they respond to the taste of a thy roid medicine called 6-n-propylth iouracil, or PROP. About 25 percent of white people cannot taste PROP at all, so they are known as non-tast ers. Half are considered tasters be cause they find it mildly bitter. An other 25 percent, the super-tasters, find it grossly bitter. Women are more likely than men to be super-tasters, and Asians and blacks are more apt than whites : —'—f gjjasf Aaron Strckelberg/DN to have this trait. The field of research is so new that some of the findings seem to conflict with each other. But in gen eral, here is what the studies show: ■ Super-tasters are apparently more sensitive to tastes because they have more taste buds on-their tongues. ■ Super-tasters are more likely to find bitter foods to be nastily bit ter and sweet things to be cloyingly sweet. •m T % Dally « OuMtlons?
