Clinton sends U.S.
combat unit to aid
U.N. in Macedonia
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SKOPJE, Macedonia - The
first U.S. Army combat unit to
wear the blue helmets of U.N.
peacekeepers arrived in Macedo
nia on Monday and got orders
from their commander to respect
the culture in the former Yu
goslav republic.
"'You are here as guests and
representatives of your own coun
try. Many eyes will be upon you/'
Brig. Gen. Finn-Saemark Thomsen,
a Danish general, told 156 Berlin
Brigade soldiers. Their arrival
brought the U.S. Army contingent
in the U.N. force in Macedonia up
to full strength of 300.
The troops were sent to Mace
donia by President Clinton to
help stop war spreading from
Bosnia-Herzegovina, and join 700
Scandinavian troops who have
patrolled the Serbia-Macedonia
border since January. American
troops participating in the multi-
national operation in Somalia
have served under U.S. rather
than U.N. command.
With the carnage of Bosnia 120
miles away, the U.S. presence is
symbolic. But there are concerns
that Serbia, where nationalists
look at Macedonia as "South Ser
bia," might move on Macedonia
if fighting ends in Bosnia.
Macedonia seceded without
bloodshed from Yugoslavia in
September 1991. But it accepted
the GIs only over objections from
Serbian President Slobodan Milo
sevic, and Macedonian officials
claim the Serbs have stationed
two army corps of some 60,000
men and 200 tanks in neighbor
ing Kosovo and southern Serbia.
With only two million people,
impoverished Macedonia has an
army of 14,000 and limited
weaponry.

Arizona man convicted of Buddhist slayings
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — A jury convicted a 19-year-
old military enthusiast Monday of robbing and
killing nine people at a Buddhist temple in
what a prosecutor said was the biggest murder
case in Arizona history.
Johnathan Doody was convicted of nine
counts of murder, nine counts of armed rob
bery and one count each of burglary and con
spiracy to commit armed burglary in the Aug.
9,1991, massacre.
Doody could receive the death penalty. A
sentencing hearing was scheduled Oct. 28.
Authorities said six Monks, an elderly nun
and two male followers were shot in the head
one by one after being ordered onto the floor of
the Wat Promkunaram temple's living quarters.
In his closing argument, prosecutor K.C.
Scull said that Doody, then 17, systematically
killed each victim because he feared one of
them might recognize him. His younger broth
er had been active at the temple.
Co-defendant Alessandro "Alex" Garcia,
who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder
charges in a deal to avoid the death penalty,
testified against Doody.
Garcia, 18, told the court that he fired harm
less shotgun blasts between each victim but
that Doody killed each with shots from a bor
rowed rifle.
Jurors convicted Doody after two days of
deliberations.
According to testimony, Doody and Garcia
ransacked the monks' quarters in the temple
and took cameras, electronic equipment and
$2,790 in cash.
Doody's attorney, Peter Balkan, acknowl
edged during closing arguments that Doody
had admitted going to the temple.
But he said Doody, an avid member of his
high school ROTC unit at the time, told friends
he was only going there to play a war game
testing the building's security system.
Doody didn't testify.
Balkan suggested that four Tucson men
(Originally arrested, or a friend of Doody's who
said he loaned Doody the rifle, might have
been responsible.
The killings, described by Scull as Arizona's
"biggest homicide case," shocked the local
Asian community as well as people in Thailand,
and prompted at least two visits to Arizona by
Thailand's ambassador to the United States.

The
Armed forces struggle with
problem of homosexual rape
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The convic
tion last month of a male sailor in
the rape of an 18-year-old male
colleague at an off-base party has
heated up the debate over homo
sexuals in the military.
And the incident raised ques
tions about the frequency of rape
— homosexual or heterosexual —
in the armed services, which ad
mit they have no centralized
records and only rudimentary re
porting systems.
Two convictions for homosexual
assault in Jacksonville, Fla., home
to three Navy bases and tens of
thousands of military personnel,
helped to harden opposition to
President Clinton's attempt to end
the 50-year-old prohibition on ho
mosexuals in the armed forces. In
additional to the case involving the
two sailors, an airman apprentice
was convicted of sexually assault
ing a male shipmate on the aircraft
carrier USS Saratoga in February.
The president of the Defense
Readiness Council, an organiza
tion in favor of keeping the ban,
summed up the dissent.
"Maybe we don't need those
kinds of people in the services,"
retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Antho
ny Burshnick said in an interview
last week.
Gay rights groups contend that
the two incidents are isolated and
that those who cite them distort
the truth about the military contri
butions of homosexuals, who
keep their sexual orientation se
cret while in the service.
"Opponents promote these
anomalies as common occur
rences. They're pandering to ho
mophobia," said David Smith, a
spokesman for the Campaign for
Military Service, a coalition of
groups working to end the ban.
Whether such incidents are
common or rare is difficult to de
termine because the Defense De
partment does not keep separate
statistics on homosexual and het
erosexual rape.
The Navy provided statistics
on completed investigations for
rape and sexual assault.
Skinheads most violent
hate group, report says
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mark Eva
Stephanie
Dave Tho
Mack Hat
NEW YORK — The skinhead movement has become the na
tion's most violent white supremacist organization, committing 22
killings in the last three years while expanding into 40 states, a
watchdog group said Monday.
The number of skinheads has grown steadily since 1988, when
1,500 members were reported in 12 states, according to the report
from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, a Jewish organi
zation. In 1993, an estimated 3,500 were found, the report said.
"The skinheads are today the most violent of all white suprema
cy groups," the report said. "Not even the Ku Klux Klans, so noto
rious for their use of the rope and the gun, come close to the skin
heads in the number and severity of crimes committed."
While exceeding the established groups in fury, the skinheads
are turning to hate groups such as the Klan, Aryan Nation and the
White Aryan Resistance as allies, the report said. These older
groups use the skinheads as "front-line warriors," the report said.
The ADL's Fact Finding Department discovered 160 skinhead
gangs operating around \he country under such names as Ameri
can Front, Northern Hammerskins, Aryan Resistance League and
SS of America.
The report provides details of 22 killings it says were committed
by skinheads since 1990 — more than triple the number blamed on
the group in the three previous years. Most victims of the skin
heads were minority group members: Hispanics, African-Ameri
cans, Asians, gays and the homeless. f ,

while Molitor (.307,10 homers, 55
RBIs) made it.
"Tettleton is a catcher and
Molitor is a designated hitter and
a first baseman," Gaston said
Monday.
How about Baltimore reliever
Gregg Olson (23 saves, 1.24 ERA)
instead of Toronto's Duane Ward
(22 saves, 2.17 ERA)? Or maybe
Oakland outfielder Rickey Hen
derson (.307, 28 stolen bases)
rather than Toronto's Devon
White (.289,19 SB).
Alomar, Olerud and Carter
were elected starters by the fans.
Gaston added the other four
Toronto players.
At least Gaston did not pick
Blue Jays pitcher Pat He.ntgen to
start as the AL tries to extend a
five-game winning streak, its
longest in a series it trails 37-25-1.
Instead, California's Mark
Langston will face Philadelphia's
Terry Mulholland.
"The manager, each year, has
the final selection, and all I try to
do is make sure he doesn't forget
to think about everybody," AL
president Bobby Brown said.
"I just try to remind him of all
the players I think should be con
sidered.
"He knew, obviously, when he
picked seven Blue Jays there's go
ing to be a lot of comment on
that," Brown said. "But there isn't
any..Blue Jay on there that's not
playing awfully well."
True, the Blue Jays won the
World Series last year. And, at 49-
40, they have the best record in
the league this year, despite losing
10 of the last 11.
But not since Cincinnati manag
er Sparky Anderson brought sev
en of his Reds to the 1977 game
have so many players from one
team been picked. The last AL
team with seven was Oakland in
1975, selected by A's manager
Alvin Dark. The most ever from
one team was nine by the 1958
Yankees. They were chosen by
New York manager Casey Stengel.
Picking your own players
however, is a perk of the position.
NL manager Bobby Cox of At
lanta has five Braves, most among
NL teams.
The first batter Langston will
see will be Montreal's Marquis
Grissom, playing in place of in
jured Andy Van Slyke.

In 1988, for example, Terry Steinbach was
voted onto the All-Star team, but not without
substantial controversy. Allegedly, several of
Oakland's fans had punched through thou
sands of ballots with a hammer and a nail.
The margin was enough to vote Steinbach
onto the starting team, where he did not dis
appoint, winning Most Valuable Player and
since wielding a consistent force in Oakland's
lineup.
If the league abolishes fan voting, baseball
will lose even more younger fans (old fans
too), which would inevitably result in disas
ter for America's pastime.
Another example comes from last year
when the Orioles' Brady Anderson was se
lected by the managers to participate in the
All-Star game. Anderson, before last year's
game, was a career .220 hitter, but he too per
formed well through the first half and was re
warded with All-Star status.
Sadly, in years past, players like Mark
McGwire and Jose Canseco have been voted
onto the starting team despite missing most
of the first half of the season with injuries.
This sort of outcome is obviously unfair.
This year has also snubbed several players.
Ron Gant, who made the team last year, has
compiled more impressive stats and is fourth
in home runs in the N.L. Brian McRae of the
Royals is hitting over .310 this year, after hit
ting a meager .223 last year, and is among the
league leaders in hits with nearly 20 steals.
He and Philadelphia's Lenny Dykstra, who
has scored almost 90 runs, will not play in
Baltimore this year.
Dean Palmer (Texas), Matt Williams (San
Francisco), Lance Johnson (Chicago), Kenny
Lofton (Cleveland), Mo Vaughn (Boston), and
Orlando Merced (Pittsburgh) all have put to
gether tremendous first halves, but they too
will have to watch the game from their living
rooms.
the team.
The most obvious name missing from the
list is Detroit catcher Mickey Tettleton. Tettle
ton is on pace to drive in 150 runs while hit
ting almost 50 long balls.
One solution suggested to get rid of this
annual dilemma is expanding the roster from
28 to 32. This may work for certain years, but
in this year's case, many would still be left off
Phil Rogers of the Dallas Morning News
also noted that the NBA and NHL's All-Star
games don't require at least one player from
each team in the league. Maybe this is the so
lution to the alleged "All-Star" team.
The biggest problem, however, is the
coaches who choose the reserves and pitch
ers. Both Bobby Cox and Cito Gaston chose
four reserves/pitchers to their 'Dream Team'
from their own teams. Bobby Cox was quoted
as saying, "(John Smoltz) has pitched in two
World Series and playoffs on three days rest"
as justification of Smoltz's spot on the team. If
such are the prerequisites, why don't we put
Reggie Jackson on the team? After all, he hit
three home runs in one World Series game.
The All-Star game is a place for those who
have beaten the odds through one half of the
long baseball season. Reward your Bip
Robertses and your Mo Vaughns. The All-
Star game is a chance for these lesser-known
players to gain respect and fame for their ac
complishments.
True, real baseball fans know who de
serves All Star recognition and who doesn't,
but it would be nice to see justice served in
America's favorite pastime.

Aikman plans to spend that week
in Los Angeles rehabilitating
under doctor supervision, then
return to Austin to begin taking
snaps. He said he's not sure
whether he'll play in any
exhibition games. Dallas plays
three games after facing the Lions.
Doctors initially set Aikman's
return for about a month into the
season, but he has set his own
timetable that would put him
back for the opener Sept. 6 against
Washington.
As Aikman was explaining to
reporters why he is astounding
doctors with his rapid rehabilita
tion, wide receiver Michael Irvin
chimed in with his support of the
star quarterback.
"Let me tell y'all something,"
Irvin said, his left arm draped
over Aikman's shoulders.
"You can put a measurement
on what's the present answer (for
when) most people come back in
this amount of time or that
amount of time, but you can never
put a timetable on the strength of
a man's mind and heart. That's
what my boy got.
"He'll be there. Don't woi^ry
