Cisneros says he won't run for Senate in 19941
Former S.A. mayor says
too much work remains
as secretary of HUD
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Henry Cisneros says he
doesn't want to run for the U.S. Senate next
year because much work remains for him as
secretary of U.S. Housing and Urban Develop
ment.
"1 don't want to lead anybody on. I don't
want to be coy about this. I don't want to run
for the United States Senate in 1994," Cisneros
said Wednesday night. "1 can't imagine any
scenario under which I would be a candidate
next year."
The former San Antonio mayor's plans
have been the object of speculation and inter
est since Republican U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey
Hutchison was indicted last month on charges
of misusing her position as state treasurer.
Democrats saw Hutchison's indictment as a
chance to regain the Senate seat, and a number
of Democratic leaders view Cisneros as their
best bet.
"1 would say the door is shut (for a 1994 Sen
ate race)," Cisneros said. "Maybe it doesn't have
a chain and a lock on it, but I'd say it's shut and
it's not something I'm thinking about."
One Cisneros associate told the San Anto
nio Express-News that the HUD secretary had
been approached by several U.S. senators urg
ing him to seek the job now held by Hutchi
son, who won a special election to complete a
term vacated when Lloyd Bentsen resigned to
become U.S. Treasury secretary.
"There is an extraordinary degree of inter
est in him running," said Jose Villarreal, a San
Antonio lawyer who served as deputy nation
al campaign manager for President Clinton I
last year.
"1 think there is still a great gulf in how
Texas opinion-makers feel on the issue and
how Henry feels on the issue," Villarreal said.
Cisneros, in San Antonio for three days of
appearances at local events, told reporters he
would rather remain on the job at HUD than
seek election.
"1 signed on to do a job, and it's a big job,"
he said. "It's an agency that requires a lot of
time and effort, and the problems in the coun
try are immense.
"I believe these (housing and urban devel
opment) problems are serious, and 1 have said
they are serious. I think they are some of the
most serious before the country," Cisneros
said. "So what would I be saying about my be
liefs if at the first time ambition rears its head,
I walk away from the job?"

PRINCETON, N.J. — Novelist Toni Morrison,
the first black American to win the Nobel Prize in
literature, said Thursday that her lyrical works
such as "Beloved" and ''Jazz" were inspired by
"huge silences in literature."
"Winning as an American is very special — but
winning as a black American is a knockout," Mor
rison, 62, said at her office at Princeton University,
where she has taught since 1989.
In awarding the 1993 prize Thursday, the
Swedish Academy called Morrison "a literary
artist of the first rank" whose work is "unusually
finely wrought and cohesive, yet at the same time
rich in variation."
Morrison said she was inspired by "huge si
lences in literature, things that had never been ar
ticulated, printed or imagined and they were the
silences about black girls, black women.
"It was into that area that I stepped and found it
to be enormous," she said.
The author of six novels, Morrison won the 1988
Pulitzer Prize for fiction for "Beloved." Her first
work of fiction, "The Bluest Eye," came out in
1970, followed by "Sula" in 1974, "Song of
Solomon" in 1977, "Tar Baby" in 1981, "Beloved"
in 1987 and "Jazz" in 1992.
"I think she's a wonderful stylist and a terrific
thinker," said author Jane Smiley, who won the
Pulitzer Prize for the 1991 novel, "A Thousand
Acres."
Morrison also lectures on black literature, wrote
a play, "Dreaming Emmett," and a book of criti
cism, "Playing in the Dark — Whiteness and the
Literary Imagination." She conceived, edited and
contributed to a 1992 collection of essays on Anita
Hill and Clarence Thomas.
Since 1981, she has been a member of the Amer
ican Academy of Arts and Letters.
Shortly after learning from a colleague of her
award, Morrison left for her office.
A smiling Morrison said that she screamed and
nth her son, Ford Morrison, an architect.
laughed wit!
upon hearing the news.
"Whatever you think about prizes and the irrel
evance to one's actual work, there is a very distinct
tremor when you win a prize like the Nobel
Prize," Morrison said.
Morrison said she was glad her mother, Ella
Wofford, 87, is alive to share her joy. She also said
she had telephoned her sister, Lois Brooks, 64, of
Lorain, Ohio.
"Personally 1 think this has always been her de
sire, to write," Mrs. Brooks said. "It's a desire she
had and she's been able to fulfill that desire and
say things she wanted to say."
Morrison said she was flabbergasted to learn
she was the first American-born winner since John
Steinbeck in 1962.
"If 1 can claim to be representative of a number
of regions and groups, it's all to the good," she
said. *Tt distributes tne honor in such a way that
you feel more blessed."
The soft-spoken Morrison was coy on some
questions, such as how she would spend the
$825,000 prize.
Morrison was born Chloe Anthony Wofford in
the steel mill town of Ixjrain, Ohio, the second of
four children of Alabama sharecroppers who had
migrated north. She studied humanities at Howard
University and earned a master's degree in Ameri
can literature from Cornell University in 1955. She
is divorced and has two sons.
A senior editor at Random House for nearly 20
years, she became a professor at Princeton in 1989.
The literature prize was endowed by Swedish
inventor Alfred Nobel, who also established prizes
in medicine, physics, chemistry and peace, to be
awarded next week in Stockholm along with the
Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. That was es
tablished by the Swedish Central Bank in 1969.

Harris County girl was forced by
her mother to have sex with a
man and also to videotape other
people having sex, police say.
Joseph Howard Williams, 42,
was charged Wednesday with
sexual assault of a child, indecen
cy with a child and sexual perfor
mance on a child. He was re
leased Wednesday after postinga
$15,000 bond.
The girl's mother, Amelia Eliz
abeth Callihan, 41, was charged
with indecency with a child. She
was released from the Harris
County Jail Wednesday after
posting a $5,000 bond.
Both were arrested Tuesday af
ter the girl told a relative about
the episodes, which she said be
gan earlier this year. The relative
called the Harris County Sheriff's
Department and investigators
then contacted the girl.
Investigators recovered about
50 videotapes at Williams' home
in northwest Harris County, said
Harris County Detective Mar)
Reynolds. Callihan was arrested
at ner home.
Most of the tapes showed sex
ual acts involving consenting
adults, Reynolds said. At least
one depicted the girl and
Williams, and in several, though
the girl wasn't shown, the couple
was "having conversations with
her and directing her how to oo
erate the camera/' Reynolds saia.
Somalia

"Let us finish the work we set
out to do," the president said.
"Let us demonstrate to the world .
. . that when Americans take on a
challenge they finish it right."
Clinton closed his 10-minute
address with a tribute to the
troops in Somalia and the families
of those killed. "My message to
you is: Your country is grateful
and so is the world, and so is the
vast majority of the Somali peo
ple."
Senate Republican leader Bob
Dole applauded the president for
making clear the mission would
be directed by U.S. commanders.
"It seems to me the president
has spoken and he's now outlined
the plan."
Forces loyal to Aidid are
blamed for a weekend street battle
in which 13 Americans were
killed, 77 wounded and at least
one captured.
Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, said
such a time frame "is totally unac
ceptable to me and I believe total
ly unacceptable to Congress."
On Capitol Hill, there were
scattered demands for the resigna
tion of Defense Secretary Les As-
pin. The White House said Clin
ton was sticking with the Penta
gon chief.
The president met with law
makers in the Roosevelt Room for
two hours.
"The majority of American ca
suallies have been because of on
obsession with seizing Aidid o:
the part of the U.N.," Sen. Paul Si
mon, D-Ill., told reporters later.'

said that a political resolutio:
should be the goal.
House Speaker Thomas Fob
said, "I think that there is a sens
that the mission became some

and that it needs to be redirected.
Croatia
Continued from Page 1
Croats have demanded that the
land be returned, and are increas
ingly frustrated with the U.N.'s
inability to disarm the Serbs and
organize the return of Croat
refugees.
A U.N. official in Sarajevo, the
Bosnian capital, released details
Thursday of what appeared to be
the worst ethnic cleansing by
Croats for months in the divided
city of Mostar in southwestern
Bosnia-Herzegovina. In Bosnia,
Serbs, Croats and Muslims have
been fighting for 18 months.
The U.N. report on Croatia, ap
proved by Gen. Jean Cot, the com
mander of U.N. forces in former
Yugoslavia, was relayed to
Tadeusz Mazowiecki, the U.N.
human rights investigator for the
region.
In an open letter to Croatian
Foreign Minister Mate Granic on
Wednsday, Mazowiecki said
Croatian forces apparently "arbi
trarily executed" several residents
of the villages and demanded a
full investigation.
The Croatian Council for De
fense and National Security, an
advisory body to President Franjo
Tudjman, said Tudjman had or
dered an inquiry and charges
would be brought against those
responsible.
It also asked that all crimes
committed during Croatia's six-
month Serb-Croat war in 1991 be
investigated, Croatian radio re
ported.
The U.N. statement said 18
corpses were recovered by U.N.
civilian police and that most were
"riddled with multiple bullet
wounds, or incinerated."
Another 52 bodies were turned
over to the Serbs by Croatian au
thorities, it said.
It charged that "demolition
teams" totally destroyed about
500 buildings in three villages the
Croatian army seized in the Sept.
9 offensive.
Croatian forces withdrew
about a week after the offensive
under a U.N.-mediated cease-fire.
About 500 U.N. soldiers subse
quently moved into the region
and issued preliminary reports of
destruction and death. But Thurs
day's report was the most de
tailed so far.
It said that nearly all houses,
barns and other buildings in the
villages were completely de
stroyed, and nearly all livestock
and domestic animals were either
killed or carried off.
Evidence indicated "the inteiv
tional killing of Serb civilians..
regardless of age, sex or status,
the release said.
The bodies of 11 men -
eluding eight soldiers — and sev
en women were recovered,
of the women appeared to be ovei
60 years old.
It quoted witnesses as saying
Bosiljka Bjegovic, an 84-year-ol(
blind woman, "was sprayed
gunfire by at least 10 Croatian sol
diers while on the front porch ot
her home."
Another older woman, found
in a field, was shot in the head at
close range, and an unidentified
witness reported that 10 to 15
Croatian soldiers dragged two
wounded Serbs out of a car and
threw them into a burning house.
