IF YOU COULD USE
FOR COLLEGE
TALK TO US FIRST.
The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program can help
you earn a nice chunk of college money for a small amount of
your time. Here’s how it works.
You take Basic Training one summer. Then you complete
skill training at an Army school during the next summer. You’ll
earn over $1,250 for Basic and even more for skill training.
Then you’ll train with your Army Reserve unit near your
college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year.
During a standard enlistment, you’ll earn over $13,000.
Now add on $5,040 if you qualify for the Montgomery GI
Bill. That adds up to more than $18,000. Plus you can even
get money to repay college loans.
Think about it. Then think about us. Then call:

Bensonhurst trial
P
Jury finds defendant guilt)
of riot, acquits of murder
NEW YORK (AP) — A Bensonhurst defendant
whose first murder trial ended with a hung jury was ac
quitted Thursday of murder and manslaughter in the
racially motivated slaying of an African-American
youth.
John Vento, 22, was found guilty only of riot. He was
the third defendant acquitted of major charges this
week.
As the verdict was read, the defendant banged his
hands on the defense table and screamed, “Yes, yes,
yes!” Vento, crying, then grabbed and hugged his law
yer before he was restrained by court officers.
The jury in state Supreme Court returned the ver
dict during the second full day of deliberations. The
riot conviction carries a maximum term of one and one-
third to four years in prison.
He faced 25 years to life in prison if convicted on the
murder charge.
“It’s always hard to convict someone when he was not
the triggerman,” Assistant District Attorney Paul Burns
said. “This jury was a smart jury, and I have absolutely
no criticism of their verdict whatsoever.”
“All I will tell you is it was a very, very difficult case
and a very difficult decision,” said juror Gay Fallows,
reached by telephone.
The trial was the second for Vento, the former star
prosecution witness turned defendant. Vento backed
out of a deal to testify against his friends after lit
his family received threats.
In July, a jury convicted Vento of unlawful irapii
ment and menacing, but acquitted hint of themos
rious charge he faced, intentional murder. Thejs
deadlocked on a second murder count andriot i
weeks later he was also indicted on second-degreet
slaughter.
He is serving a sentence of up to eight yearsinpij
for the convictions.
Prosecutors described Vento as a major partici:
in the Aug. 23, 1989, slaying of Yusuf Hawkinsii
Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. Hawkins, 16,vj
the predominantly white neighborhood to lo
used car. He was cornered by a gang of whites
tally shot in the chest.
“He was there, he helped organize and reert
mob,” Assistant District Attorney Paul Burns said
Vento. “He was there when the mob armed i
he was there as one of the leaders of the mob.”
Defense attorney Gerald J. DiChiara defend
Vento as a young man drawn into what he thoi
would be a brawl to protect his friend Keith Mond
and to keep outsiders from his neighborhood.
“Kids fight,” DiChiara said. “Kids who are 17and;
who hang out at luncheonettes and candy storesfi;
but they’re not murderers.”

The
Taylor, ex-boyfriend
settle perfume dispute
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Elizabeth
Taylor and an ex-beau reached an
out-of-court settlement Thursday in
a battle over Passion perfume prof
its, ending what promised to be a re
vealing peek into the star’s personal
life.
Both sides agreed to drop their
lawsuits in the middle of jury selec
tion. The judge announced the ac
tress and former boyfriend Henry
Wynberg reached a settlement that
leaves Taylor in control of the per
fume line.
Wynberg sued Taylor for a share
of $70 million in profits, claiming
she breached a contract with him to
market the highly popular fra
grance.
She had countered Wynberg’s
lawsuit with claims that his criminal
record led her to abandon their
planned business deal and turn to a
major cosmetics company that began
marketing Passion. Taylor won per
mission to tell jurors about Wyn
berg’s statutory rape conviction.
Taylor’s lawyer, Neil Papiano,
said no money would change hands
and each party would pay its own le
gal expenses.
“It means I’m vindicated and it
proves the perfume, Passion, is
something I worked for a year and a
half for,” Taylor said afterward. “It
has nothing to do with Henry Wyn
berg.”
Taylor said she didn’t relish the
idea of being on the witness stand,
but didn’t say that was the reason for
reaching the settlement.
“It’s not like on television,” she
said. “It’s not over in an hour. It’s
not something I was looking forward
to, but I was willing to fight as long
as I had to.”
Wynberg said: “I’m pleased it’s all
over with.”
He said his decision wasn’t based
on fear a trial would reveal too much
about his criminal past.
“That turns out to be a two-way
street,” Wynberg said. “Anything
they wanted to ask of me we could
have asked also of Elizabeth.”
His lawyer, Quentin Kopp, re
fused to discuss how the settlement
came about or any details. They also
refused to acknowledge that Wyn
berg wouldn’t receive any money.
Attorneys had been negotiating
for some time, but were unable to
reach agreement until Thursday,
Papiano said.
Museum
recovers
stolen art
PARIS (AP) — Nine painting
that vanished in a brazen
theft, including the Monet ma
terpiece that gave impressionis:
its name, returned to Pan
Thursday after police fold
them in a Corsican villa.
Police said recovery resultedc
part from information gathem
from gangsters in japan.
The stolen paintings includei
five Monets, two by Pierre An
guste Renoir and one by Bent
Morisot, as well as a portrait o:
Monet. Their total value wasesii
mated at the time at $12 tr
but one official described “Im
pression Sunrise” as priceless.
“It’s the best Christmas preset:
we could have,” said Arnaud
d'Hauterives, curator of the Mai
mottan Museum.
'The nine paintings from tic
Marmottan, along with an as-yet
unidentified 17th century pain:
ing, were found Tuesday in avi
in Porto-Vecchio in southert

Global trade pact
Talks stall over compromises
in farm-subsidy reductions
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) —
Talks among 107 nations trying to
draft an ambitious global trade pact
neared collapse Thursday night af
ter the European Community re
jected a last-minute compromise
making significant cuts in farm sub
sidies.
Trade ministers suggested the
EC’s action virtually dooms any
chances for reaching a trade
agreement this week in Brussels.
However, many said they will cam
paign Friday for holding more dis
cussions after a cooling-off period.
Such a strategy runs a risk of fail
ure, given tight deadlines imposed
by the U.S. Congress for approving
any final outcome under so-called
“fast-track authority.”
The battle between the United
States and its trade allies on one side
and the 12-nation European Com
munity on the other turned out to be
the biggest stumbling block to u
ting an overall agreement in 4
trade talks.
The talks, known as the Urugis
Round for the country wheretk
began in 1986, had stalled in wli
was to have been the final wed
bargaining.
The talks are being held ud
the auspices of the Genen
Agreement on Tariffs and Trail
also known as GATT.
