At 75, Mandela still looking to the future
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
— Nelson Mandela became 75 on
Sunday, and the brightest days
may still lie ahead for the man who
seems destined to be South Africa's
first black leader.
As Mandela celebrated his
birthday, he and the African Na
tional Congress are closer than
ever to ending white rule.
Or, in Mandela's words: “The
transformation of South Africa
into a united, democratic, nonra-
cial and nonsexist country has
reached a decisive point."
There is still plenty of friction
between the ANC and the white
government. Police gunfire
caused a car in an ANC convoy
to crash Sunday as an ANC
leader-drove home from Man
dela's birthday party. One ANC
member died and two were seri
ously injured.
But a multiracial election that
would end apartheid is set for
April. If the ANC wins as expect
ed, Mandela would become presi
dent, capping a lifetime of politi
cal endeavor that began when he
was thrown out of college for or
ganizing a student strike more
than 50 years ago
Since then, Mandela has come
to embody the black political
struggle, fighting in roles that
changed with the times: young ac
tivist, underground guerrilla com
mander, political prisoner, globe
trotting leader.
His hair is turning white, his
walk is getting stiff and his
speeches are often dry, but he re
mains one of the world's charis
matic figures.
On his recent U.S. tour, Man
dela was toasted as a president-in-
waiting by politicians in Washing
ton, business leaders in New York
and movie stars in Hollywood.
Mandela receives similar treat
ment in South Africa, and it some
times seems he already is co-presi
dent with F.W. de Klerk.
Their pronouncements get
roughly equally coverage on gov
ernment television. A few years
ago, when Mandela was in prison,
it was illegal to quote him.
For a foreign dignitary visiting
de Klerk, it also is a must to see
Mandela at ANC headquarters,
where he has a spacious, corner
office on the 10th floor overlook
ing the cluttered, chaotic streets of
downtown Johannesburg.
Welcome to America, now please go home
Border patrol issues voluntary departure orders
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HELENA, Mont. — When the U.S. Border
Patrol recently picked up 24 Mexicans work
ing illegally as tree planters in western Mon
tana, the agency's action was swift — and
trusting.
The workers were simply set free and told
to go home.
Clutching instructions to depart, the labor
ers were released soon after agents picked
them up in raids during May. The patrol pro
vided no transportation south, and made no
compliance check. Officials believe their em
ployer took them to a neighboring state and
turned them loose.
Immigration agents concede that voluntary
departure orders with no follow-up do little to
get undocumented workers out of the country.
But they say limited funds and the huge num
ber of illegal aliens in the United States — 3
million to 5 million — makes tougher enforce
ment impossible.
“The United States cannot afford to pay
everybody's ticket back home," said Richard
Kenney, a spokesman at the U.S. Immigration
and Naturalization Service headquarters in
Washington.
Nor can the government afford to check
whether people such as the tree planters really
go back across the border, he said.
“The likelihood that they're going to leave?
Common sense. Think about it," said Jim
Switzer, head of the Border Patrol's Spokane,
Wash., sector, which covers parts of Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana. “If you want the per
son to go, obviously you need to get them to
the border, which costs money."
Within the United States, illegal aliens are
routinely rounded up as they make their way
north from Mexico. In Tucson, Ariz., the patrol
daily runs buses 60 miles to the border, return
ing dozens of Mexican nationals, though some
cross the border again within hours.
FBI director out of hospital;
says he won't quit his job_
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — FBI Director William Sessions returned
home Sunday from a night in the hospital after breaking his arm,
still determined not to quit his job despite reported administration
demands that he resign this week or be fired.
“It's a matter of principle," Sessions said as he emerged from
Sibley Hospital. “It's a matter of being certain that everybody un
derstands across the world and across the nation that this director
is not guilty of unethical or improper conduct and that the bureau
must not be anything other than an independent agency."
Sessions broke his right arm when he tripped over a curb on
leaving the Justice Department on Saturday.
His ability to complete the final 41/2 years of his 10-year term
came into doubt in January when the Justice Department's Office of
Professional Responsibility issued a scathing report accusing him of
ethical lapses.
Sessions said the only way he would leave “is for the president
to say, T want to replace you.’ If he does it. I’ve gone all the way
with the bureau and I know that I've done my job."
Clinton, via messengers, said something to that effect Saturday
when Sessions was told he must quit or be fired, possibly as early
as Monday, according to a law enforcement official who asked not
to be identified.
The official was not in the Justice Department meeting with At
torney General Janet Reno, White House Counsel Bernard Nuss-
baum, Deputy Attorney General Philip Heymann and Associate
Attorney General Webster Hubbell. But he said he understood such
an ultimatum was given to Sessions.
In addition, more indirect signals have been rampant, such as
leaked reports about possible successors, the most prominent one
being U.S. District Judge Louis Freeh of Manhattan.
The 43-year-old Freeh, a former FBI agent and federal prosecu
tor, spent two hours with Clinton on Friday night, according to a
senior administration official who spoke on condition of
anonymity.

Ryan hopes to salvage remainder of season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON - Nolan Ryan
returns to the mound Monday
against the Milwaukee Brewers,
attempting to
salvage the
“most frustrat
ing and disap
pointing sea
son of my ca
reer."
"I want to
give six or sev
en strong in
nings, keep
the bullpen
out of the
game until
then, throw
with good mechanics and just
help a team that’s in the pennant
chase," Ryan said.
That, and stay healthy.
This spring, when Ryan an
nounced that his record 27th ma
jor league season would be his
last, the Texas Rangers' right-han
der said his one hope for 1993 was
not to have any regrets.
After watching so many play
ers see their talents diminish in
the twilight of their careers, Ryan
wanted nothing more than for
fans to say he had gone out on
top, that he'd quit on his terms
and even could have gone anoth
er season.
So far, that hasn't been the
case.
So far, coming back for this
season has been a mistake.
Ryan is 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA
and two stints on the disabled list.
His start Monday will be his first
since May 7, when he strained a
hip muscle in his first start back
from arthroscopic knee surgery. \
While rehabilitating from the
hip injury, Ryan sliced his foot
when he stepped on the blade of a
water ski during an outing with
his family.
“This is the one thing I wanted
to avoid this year," Ryan said.
“I had one of my best springs
ever, healthwise, and I knew my
arm was still strong. I wanted to
be able to look back on this season
and say, T could have gone one
more.' "
Now, Ryan hopes to get in 12
to 15 starts in the second half,
something manager Kevin
Kennedy says is imperative if the
Rangers are to stay in the AL
West race.
“If we get a healthy Ryan back,
we stand as good a chance as any
body of winning this division,"
third baseman Dean Palmer said.
“We need healthy players, and
that starts with Nolan."
Ryan remained in Arlington
during the Rangers' final road trip
before the All-Star break, trying to
recapture his mechanics. He
worked out daily with former
Rangers pitching coach Tom
House, now a consultant with the
team.
On Wednesday, Ryan threw 95
pitches in a five-inning simulated
game at Arlington Stadium
against eight reserves, then field
ed ground balls, after which he re
ported no physical problems.
In anticipation of his return,
Rangers fans and scalpers
snatched up tickets, making Mon
day night's game a sellout last
week.
This will mark the second time
in Ryan's three starts at Arlington
Stadium this year that the
Rangers have drawn more than
40,000. The other game was
played in treacherous conditions
with swirling winds and rain that
kept fans away.
With Ryan returning to the ro
tation, several area card shops are
reporting a run on Ryan memora
bilia reminiscent of the 1989-91
seasons, when Ryan reached 5,000
strikeouts, won his 300th game
and hurled his sixth and seventh
no-hitters.
Beckett Publications this
month released its first magazine
devoted to a single subject, titled
“Beckett Tribute: Nolan Ryan."
Ryanmania is back.
And so is Nolan ... if he can
stay healthy.

Norman wins British Open with record score
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANDWICH, England - Greg
Norman endured the insults, the
“Great White Guppie" cracks and,
most painfully, has own fears that
he would never win a major again.
No more.
He answered them all Sunday
with the “best golf of my life," the
Great White Shark biting back fe
rociously to capture his second
British Open title and post the
lowest score in the champi
onship's 122 years.
“I'm not a person who boasts,
but I'm just in awe of myself for
the way I hit the golf ball today,"
Norman said after he beat his
nemesis, Nick Faldo, by 2 strokes
with a final round 6-under-par 64
that gave him a record total of 267.
In a dozen Opens at Royal St.
George's, only one other player
had broken par for the tourna
ment. Bill Rogers posted 276 in
1981, and Norman made that look
ridiculous. Tom Watson held the
record for any British Open, 268 at
Turnberry in 1977, and Norman
wiped that out, too.
Norman was hardly the only
one in awe. After his second shot
on 18, partner Bernhard Langer,
third at 270, told him as they
walked down the fairway:
“It's the greatest golf I've ever
seen my life."
And at the award ceremony,
moments before Norman received
the silver claret jug, 91-year-old
Gene Sarazen, the first man to
complete a career Grand Slam,
told the crowd:
“I've never seen such golf. Are
those football scores?"
Norman had gone into a funk
after his 76-67 thrashing by Faldo
in the third round of this tourna
ment three years ago.
“When I was down and out I
said to myself, 'Is it worth it?"'
said the 38-year-old Norman, who
won his only other major in the
1986 British Open.
On Sunday, Norman went out
trailing Faldo by a stroke and
thought he'd need a 66 to win af
ter seeing the low scores early the
day — including Payne Stewart's
63 that matched the Open record
Faldo tied in the second round.
Faldo, 36, watched impatiently
from the tee with co-leader Corey
Pavin as Norman hit a wedge to 4
feet of the first hole right in front
of them and matched birdies with
partner Bernhard Langer.
Those birdies immediately
locked all four players in a four
way tie at 8-under.
Faldo had a chance to get back
his 1-stroke lead, but his chip from
40 feet on the fringe of the green
barely eluded the hole. Pavin then
two-putted from 6 feet for a bogey
to fall and fell off the lead. He nev
er shared it again.
On to baseball. . .
11th inning sacrifice fly
lifts Cards over Astros
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Mark Whiten's bases-
loaded sacrifice fly in the 11th inning gave
the St. Louis Cardinals a 7-6 victory over the
Houston Astros on Sunday.
The Cardinals, chasing first-place
Philadelphia in the NL East, took three of
four games from the Astros.
Whiten, who hit a two-run homer earlier
in the game, scored Ozzie Smith, who start
ed the inning with a walk off Doug Jones (3-
7). After Smith walked, Luis Alicea reached
on an infield single and both runners moved
up on Rod Brewer's sacrifice.
Todd Zeile was walked intentionally to
load the bases and Al Osuna relieved.
Whiten then greeted Osuna with a fly ball to
center.
Lee Guetterman (2-1) retired six straight
batters for the victory.
Houston tied the score, 6-6, in the eighth
on doubles by Scott Servais and Chris Parker
off Rheal Cormier.
San Diego's broom can't
sweep Philadephia
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Curt Schilling ended
a personal five-game losing streak, and the
Philadelphia Phillies benefited from three
errors to beat the San Diego Padres 6-3 Sun
day to avoid a four-game sweep.
Schilling (9-6) allowed six hits in seven in
nings to win for the first time since June 11,
when he beat the New York Mets 5-2 in a
complete game.
Mitch Williams pitched the ninth for his
24th save.
Schilling was working on a shutout until
Tony Gwynn singled with two outs in the
sixth, followed by Phil Plantier's homer to
right field, his 15th. Archi Cianfrocco home-
red to left-center with two outs in the sev
enth, his fourth.
The Phillies, who had lost four straight
and seven of nine to see their lead in the NL
East shrink to three games, scored six runs,
including four unearned, off rookie Doug
Brocail (2-5).
Rangers lose to Detroit;
Doherty posts shutout
ARLINGTON (AP) - John Doherty
broke out of a four-game slump with a
three-hitter and his first career shutout, car
rying the Detroit Tigers to a 2-0 victory over
the Texas Rangers on Sunday night.
Doherty (9-5) pitched the Tigers' first
complete-game shutout of the season.
Doherty, who allowed singles in the
third, fourth and seventh innings, struck out
four, matching a career high, and didn't is
sue a walk while raising his career record at
Arlington Stadium to 3-0.
Detroit scored the game's only runs in the
fourth inning off Charlie Liebrandt (9-5),
who allowed eight hits in seven innings.
Travis Fryman led off with a triple, but
Leibrandt retired the next two batters. After
Mickey Tettleton walked, Rob Deer singled
in the first run and Skeeter Barnes drove in
Tettleton with a double.
