Rape victim settles for $3 million
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON - A female resi
dent of an apartment complex is
collecting $3 million from the
apartment management company
as settlement of a lawsuit she filed
after she was raped by another
tenant.
The 28-year-old woman, iden
tified only as Rebecca, sued Dud-
dlesten Management Corp.,
Greenway Gardens Apartments
and their security firms because
her attack could have been pre
vented, the woman's attorneys
said.
The man convicted of rape in
the case, Eddie Frazier, is serving
a 25-year prison term.
Testimony showed Frazier
grabbed the woman Aug. 1, 1989,
in a dark hallway and forced her
at knifepoint into her apartment
where he tied her up with panty
hose and a telephone cord and
raped her.
The woman's attorney, Susan
Hiatt, said Wednesday that Fra
zier never was subjected to the
usual tenant checks because he
had a co-signer on his original
lease in 1984. She said as early as
October 1988, management sus
pected Frazier was pawning items
to support a drug habit and
neighbors complained people
were going in and out of his
apartment at all hours.
In March 1989, management
suspected he had broken into an
other resident's apartment yet
they did not call police or warn
residents, she said.
Ms. Hiatt contended the neigh
bors' complaints would have been
enough to evict Frazier.
"Instead of taking the $285 rent
from this man, they should have
thought about the well-being of
their residents," she said.
A statement released by Dud-
dlesten said Frazier had done
nothing to breach his lease.
Reno
Continued from Page 1
Texas and the FBI's investiga
tion of the World Trade Center
bombing will force her to focus
her immediate attention on day-
to-day enforcement of the nation's
criminal laws.
Reno also will review an inter
nal Justice Department report that
raised questions about whether
FBI Director William S. Sessions
should remain in office.
The report, released as a part
ing shot by Attorney General
William P. Barr, cites personal
trips that Sessions and his wife
took aboard FBI aircraft and the
director's use of a "sham arrange
ment" to avoid paying taxes for
use of a government limousine.
As overseer of the enforcement
of immigration laws, Reno will be
an important player in formulat
ing administration policy on Hait
ian refugees.
Conservatives and liberals ex
pect Reno to pursue more aggres
sive enforcement of civil rights
and environmental protection
laws.
Clinics

Green for a blanket and a Bible for
his cell.
"I would like to keep my Bible
as one of my legal documents,"
Griffin said. Green referred him to
jail administrators, who wouldn't
comment on the requests.
Griffin also asked to represent
himself, but the judge didn't rule
on that request.
Gunn, who lived in Eufaula,
Ala., also performed abortions at
clinics in Alabama and Georgia,
commuting by plane.
"He did it because he believed
in the cause," said K.B. Kohls, di
rector of the Beacon Women's
Center in Montgomery, Ala.,
where Gunn worked.
Gunn's Pensacola clinic was
closed Thursday. Gunn was the
only doctor at Pensacola's other
abortion clinic, The Ladies Center.
Operation Rescue spokesman
Bob Jewett said Griffin was un
dergoing counseling before the
shooting.
Griffin's wife, Patricia, ob
tained a restraining order against
him in April 1991, according to
court records. She said at the time
he "physically tried to throw me
out of the house."
In a later divorce petition, she
said Griffin "suffers from great
fits of violence." The two eventu
ally reconciled and withdrew di
vorce papers.
Yeltsin

has not been written."
Yeltsin took the podium in
Congress on Thursday morning.
"I favor strong presidential
power in Russia, not because I am
the president, but because I am
convinced that without it, Russia
shall not survive and rise again,"
Yeltsin said.
Khasbulatov shot back in an
emotional speech that called
Yeltsin's ideas "petty." He said
the only document the Congress
would recognize was the Commu
nist-era constitution.
Foreign Minister Andrei
Kozyrev asserted Yeltsin retained
strong popular support.
"Please be sure that there is a
reliable partner, a reliable govern
ment, a reliable president with a
popular mandate," he said after
wards.
The lawmakers rejected
Yeltsin's compromise offer 382-
329. They then voted 623-252 to
give preliminary approval to a
resolution that, among other
things, would reimpose limits on
Yeltsin's authority.
Reimposing the limits — sus
pended in December — would
give lawmakers the right to veto
Yeltsin's decrees and return to the
Cabinet the right to initiate legis
lation.
Military

Clinton wants to use federal
money to help more defense-ori
ented companies develop similar
"dual-use" programs.
Wowed by the high-tech pro
jects on display at the plant, Clin
ton stared at the inside of an elec
tric van. "I love it," he said.
The first money for Clinton's
package comes from a $1.4 billion
appropriation approved by the
Congress last year but not spent
by the Bush administration. Reit
erating a promise he made last
month, Clinton said he will take
another $300 million from other
federal programs to make $1.7 bil
lion available for defense conver
sion in the fiscal year that ends
Sept. 30.
Of the money to be spent this
year, $845 million will go to "dual
use" programs; $637 million will
help workers, military personnel
and communities hurt by defense
cuts, and $185 million will be
spent on new technology.
