MANILA, Philippines (AP) —
Fire broke out tonight in a luxury
hotel, and officials said one guest
was killed and one fireman was in
jured.
Hundreds of people were evac
uated from the 11-story Hyatt Re
gency Hotel in suburban Pa say
City.
The fire was put out in about 90
minutes. Firemen searching the
third floor found a woman, Cecilia
Yim of Hong Kong, unconscious
in the bathroom. She was rushed
to a hospital where she died, said
police Col. Oscar Pascual.
A fireman was injured when he
fell from a ladder during the fire,
officials said.
Michele Mitshiener, a
spokeswoman for the hotel, said
the fire started about 11:25 p m.
(9:25 a.m. EDT) on the third floor,
and that thick smoke filled the
hallways of the 265-room hotel.
She said the hotel was about 60
percent full.

Elderly smokers run higher
risk of death, study says
BOSTON (AP) — A new study
of elderly smokers provides the
strongest evidence yet that it's
never too late to quit, its authors
say.
T think we have the first data to
show there is clearly no immunity
from the hazards of cigarette
smoking at any age," said Dr.
Charles H. Hennekens of Brigham
and Women's Hospital in Boston
and a study co-author.
The researchers said their find
ings are especially important be
cause of the dramatic increase in
recent years in the number of
women over age 65 who smoke.
The new report found that over
a five-year period, outwardly
healthy old people who smoke are
twice as likely to die as are those
who never smoked. The risk for
those who gave up cigarettes falls
between the two extremes.
The extra deaths among the el
derly smokers result from cancer
and heart attacks, the major health
While the health advantages of
giving up cigarettes are well ac
cepted for young and middle-age
people, the notion that those in
their 60s, 70s and beyond benefit
has been less clear. In part, this is
because few studies have concen
trated on the effects of smoking on
the elderly, especially women.
The new work challenges the
widely held belief that by the time
smokers reach old age, their habit
has already taken its toll, and
those who survive this long are
somehow immune to the dangers
of cigarettes.

Gorbachev wants
West to send aid
hazards of cigarettes.
"Older people who smoke can
still do their health a lot of good by
quitting," said Dr. Andrea Z. La-
Croix, who directed the study. "A
lot of older people believe that
once you've smoked 40 or 50
years, you have nothing to gain
from quitting. That's clearly not
true."
OSLO, Norway (AP) — Mikhail
S. Gorbachev said Wednesday in
his Nobel Peace lecture that West
ern failure to heed his call for eco
nomic aid could dash hopes for a
peaceful new world order.
Gorbachev also said he expected
to sign an arms pact soon to slash
superpower nuclear arsenals, and
rides said the Soviet president
sur
aides said me boviet pi
would play host to President Bush
in Moscow in the last week of
June.
In his most cogent appeal yet for
Western aid.
Gorbachev
said, "To me, it
is self-evident
that if Soviet
perestroika
succeeds,
there will be a
real chance of __
building a new ^
world order." M,w,al1 s - Gorbachev
"And if perestroika fails, the
prospect of entering a new peace
ful period of history will vanish, at
least for the foreseeable future,"
he said, using a Russian word for
his reforms.
Two hecklers interrupted the
Nobel lecture and police said they
arrested 30 people who staged
street protests against Gorba
chev's refusal to allow the Baltic
republics to secede.
Gorbachev's delivery of the
long-delayed Nobel lecture and
news of the summit underscored
the resurgence of his domestic and
international standing after the
bloody Baltic crackdown last Jan
uary.
Gorbachev seemed to have won
Bush's backing to be present in
London next month when the
Group of Seven leading industrial
nations meet. A U.S. source said
the Soviet leader likely would
meet with the Western leaders
outside the actual summit.
Gorbachev was awarded the
sources.
Researchers modify TB vaccine
NEW YORK (AP) — Research
ers have transformed tuberculosis
vaccine into a one-shot, multidi
sease vaccine that triggered de
fenses against AIDS and tetanus in
mice, according to studies being
published Thursday.
The achievement marks an im
portant step toward the devel
opment of a vaccine that could
protect humans against a grab-bag
of a dozen or more diseases, the
researchers said.
The vaccine, once perfected,
could be especially useful in the
Third World, where medical care
is scarce and vaccines are the most
cost-effective form of medical care.

1990 Nobel Peace Prize in Decem
ber for his part in ending the Cold
War by concluding arms pacts, al
lowing East Europe to shed un
popular Communist regimes, and
curtailing proxy wars in Asia, Af
rica and Latin America.
Ethnic, economic and political
crises in the Soviet Union had
prompted Gorbachev to postpone
nis Nobel lecture from its original
date of Dec. 10.
And the superpower summit,
once set for February, was delayed
by the Gulf War and lingering dis
putes on conventional and nuclear
arms.
In his Nobel lecture, Gorbachev
reaffirmed his commitment to the
peaceful solution of domestic So
viet problems despite the violence
sparked by some aspects of peres
troika. But he cautioned Western
leaders against expecting the So
viet Union to imitate them sla
vishly.
"Our task is to stay the course
while also addressing current ev

might be called the crucial point,
when the world community, and
above all the states with the great
est potential to influence world de
velopments, will have to decide on
their stance with regard to the So
viet Union," Gorbachev said.
It is, he said, "futile and danger
ous to set conditions, to say: 'We'll
understand and believe you as
soon as you, the Soviet Union,
come completely to resemble us.'"
In Washington, State Depart
ment deputy spokesman Ricnard

that the Soviets must continue
