States said to be assuming
role in boosting economy
AUSTIN — State governments
will gradually take over from the
federal government the role of pro
moting the economic growth of the
United States, according to a prom
inent high technology expert.
“My own guess is that no matter
who wins (the presidency) in 1988
the pendulum will continue to
swing the other way and that the
federal government will not again
for a long time . . . play the same
role that it played for 40 years as
the innovator and the investor,”
said Bobby R. Inman, president of
Microelectronics and Computer
Technology Corp.
Inman spoke Saturday to the fi
nal session of the National Confer
ence of State Legislatures, attended
by about 250 legislators and legis
lative staff members.
Inman, who heads a cooperative
venture of 21 computer and elec
tronics companies, stressed that
state participation must begin with
investment education.
“Increasingly it is going to fall to
the states, the states that make some
wise decisions to fuel the economic
growth that is going to be continu
ing to accelerate creation of new
technologies,” Inman said.
“We must produce youngsters
with a broader base of knowledge,
less specialization, with the ability to
be very rapidly trained or retrained
for very specific functions in the
marketplace,” he said.

“I’m hopeful it will produce a
broader basis of support,” Lugar
said in an interview.
But Sen. James Sasser, D-Tenn.,
spokesman for Senate Democrats on
Nicaragua, called the effort an at
tempt to fashion “a fig leaf compro
mise.”
Reagan demanded Saturday that
the House vote rejecting the aid plan
last week be reversed in the Senate,
promising a national radio audience
to come back “again and again until
we win.”
Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif., the
Senate Democratic whip, said on Fri
day that 48 senators are prepared to
vote for the president’s aid package,
40 are prepared to vote no, and 1 1
are undecided.

“It’s not a compromise at all,” he
said in an interview. “It simply de
lays the military aid for 90 days. It al
lows everything else to go forward.”
Sasser also said the offer is shot
through with “conditions that the
administration knows will lead to a
failure of negotiations.”
Sasser, replying for the Demo
crats, said the House vote “reflects a
widespread feeling in the United
States that we should not escalate the
undeclared war in Nicaragua and we
should not pursue military solutions
until we have fully exhausted the
possibility of negotiation and the
hope for peacd.”
Reagan is seeking approval for
$70 million in military aid and $30
million in non-lethal, logistical assis
tance.
Sasser said in an interview the
president might well emerge with
Congress approving only a package
of non-lethal “humanitarian” aid
similar to the $27 million voted for
that purpose last year, “with military
aid postponed until after substantial
negotiations."
White House chief of staff Donald
T. Regan declined to discuss details
of a compromise in Congress to de
lay the aid, but said, “from the point
of view of the Contras, the sooner we
get them aid the better.”

Stallone family gets 6 awards for ‘worst of year’ in movies
Associated Press
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Sylvester Stal
lone, his wife and his brother swept the 6th
annual Golden Raspberry Awards for the
worst in motion pictures, taking six of 10 tro
phies slated for presentation late Sunday in a
parody of the Academy Awards.
The family’s ride to the peak of Hollywood
shamedom was led by Stallone’s movie
“Rambo: First Blood, Part II,” which was
voted 1985’s worst film by the 170-member
Golden Raspberry Award Foundation.
The Italian Stallion took the Razzies for
worst actor, director and screenplay, his ac
tress-wife Brigitte Nielsen won for worst sup
porting actress and new star, and brother
Frank Stallone’s tune “Peace in Our Life” was
picked worst song.
Nielsen won the worst supporting actress
trophy for Stallone’s “Rocky IV,” and her
worst new star win was based on her perfor
mances in “Rocky IV” and “Red Sonja.”
Foundation spokesman John Wilson said,
“The Stallone family won six of the 10 Razzies
given this year, and it’s the first time more
than two members of one family have won.”
The Stallone family replaces John and Bo
Derek as the favorite target of the association,
which presents yellow, plastic raspberry tro
phies in ceremonies timed 24 hours ahead of
Monday’s Academy Awards.
“He is the first to win three Razzies in one
night, beating two in one night won by Pia Za-
dora and Bo Derek,” Wilson said.
“He pulled more than 50 percent of the
vote in the worst actor category, a Golden
Raspberry high mark, despite stiff competi
tion from the movie performances of Divine,
Richard Gere, A1 Pacino and John Travolta,”
Wilson said.
Another Razzie first was the fact that
“Rambo” is the only Razzie worst picture win
ner to actually make money, Wilson said. Pre
vious money-losing worst film winners were
“Bolero,” “Lonely Lady,” “Inchon,” “Mom-
mie Dearest” and “Can’t Stop the Music.”
Stallone won the worst actor category for
both “Rambo” and “Rocky IV,” the first time
someone has taken the worst actor award for
two titles. Travolta was once nominated for
two films in the same year, “Stayin’ Alive" and
“Two of a Kind,” but he lost to Christopher
Atkins in “The Pirate Movie.”
“Rocky IV” also won the worst musical
score Razzie for Vince DiCola.
In addition to a Razzie for 1985 Career
Achievement, Linda Blair was voted worst ac
tress for her performances in “three grade B
exploitation pictures” called “Savage Island,”
“Savage Streets” and “Night Patrol.”
Actor Rob Lowe was chosen worst support
ing actor for his performance in “St. Elmo’s
Fire.”
None of the nominees was expected at the
black-tie ceremony at a 200-seat theater in
Santa Monica, Wilson said.
