I believe that philosophy in America
will be lost between chewing a historic
cud long since reduced to woody fiber,
or an apologetics for lost causes (l° s t
to natural science), or a scholastic,
schematic formalism, unless it can
somehow bring to consciousness America’s
own needs and its own implicit
principles of successful action.

U.N. condemns Iraq; Baghdad stands fin
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — In a
unanimous vote, the U.N. Security
Council condemned Iraq, imposed a
travel ban and warned of “further
measures” Wednesday unless Iraq re
verses its decision to expel American
arms inspectors.
Iraq’s deputy prime minister im
mediately rejected the U.N. demand
and U.S. Ambassador Bill Richardson
warned “the crisis with Iraq is not over.”
“The message has been clear: Iraq
must comply or face consequences,”
Richardson said after the vote. “We
are not precluding any option, in
cluding the military option.”
Appearing later on MSNBC,
Richardson said the United States
believes it does not need to receive
council permission to launch a mili
tary strike, although a decision to at
tack has not yet been made.
“But I would say that Iraq would
provoke an international reaction if
they tampered with the next U-2
flight, which is an essential part of the
U.N.’s activity, and secondly were to

expel the Americans or the inspec
tors from the U.N.’s teams,” Richard
son said.
Russian Ambassador Sergey
Lavr ov told reporters that the crisis
with Iraq was “headed for deadlock.”
“It’s very dangerous.”
The government of Saddam Hus
sein, meanwhile, showed no signs of
backing down on its vow to kick Amer
ican inspectors out of Iraq. Iraqi
Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz,
speaking in NewYork, declared drat his
government “refuses this resolution.”
“Iraq will continue to defend its le
gitimate rights by ail means,” Aziz
said. In Baghdad, Iraqi Foreign Min
ister Mohammed Said al-Sahhaf said
the Americans would “definitely” be
expelled but gave no timetable.
Iraq had suspended the expulsion
order until the 15-member council
finished debate. The council refused
a request by Aziz to be allowed to pre
sent Iraq’s case in a special session.
The Baghdad government has
turned back inspection teams nine of
the last 10 days because they inc

Council’s unanimous vote

First lady builds
Soviet, U.S ties
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (AP) —A statue
of Vladimir Lenin towers more than 50
feet high over this quaint town, a symbol
of 70 years of Soviet rule.
Hillary Rodham Clinton came to town
to talk about progress
since the Soviet
Union fell apart and
about the new repub
lic's future as a friend
of the United States
and the West.
Just next door to
the imposing statue,
Clinton cut a red,
white and blue ribbon
Wednesday to open Clinton
the American Univer
sity of Kyrgyzstan, es
tablished with U.S. government dollars.
The university, Clinton said, is “one of
the most important results of the alliance
between the two countries.” The faculty
declared Clinton a model world leader
and granted her the university’s first hon
orary professorship.
On the second day of an eight-day, five-
nation tour, the first lady made stops in
three countries, all former Soviet republics,
She flew from Bishkek to Tashkent, Uzbek
istan, after starting the day in Almati,
Kazakstan. Kyrgyzstan lies southeast of
neighboring Kazakstan, between that
country and China, and Uzbekistan is Kyr
gyzstan’s neighbor to the west.
Before dedicating the new university in
Bishkek, Clinton visited the bustling Novo
Pavlovka market, filled mostly with
women wearing colorful scarves and car
rying children to see what some said was
the first famous American to visit them.
There, the first lady came face to face with
success stories of former Soviet citizens
who since 1994 have taken small Ameri
can-backed loans and opened own
booths at the market.

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) —The black car carry
ing four American oil company employees to work
inched along a bridge jammed with school buses
Wednesday. A red car weaved in and out of traffic,
then pulled up behind.
Shots rang out. Then two gunmen in khaki jack
ets and traditional baggy Pakistani garments leapt
out, strode over to the black car and emptied the
clips of their Kalashnikov rifles inside.
After checking to see if ail four Americans and
their Pakistani driver were dead, the gunmen fled.
There was no claim of responsibility for the at
tack, but it followed the U.S. conviction Monday
of a Pakistani, Mir Aimal Kasi, in the shootings of
two CIA employees outside agency headquarters
in Langley, Va. U.S. officials had warned of pos
sible retaliation.
“It is premature to say why they were killed, but
there is a strong possibility that it was linked to
Kasi's conviction and sentencing,” Karachi Police
Chief Malik Iqbal said Wednesday.
“We know it was a target killing. It wasn’t ran
dom firing.”
In Washington, President Clinton’s spokesman
called the killings “an outrageous act of bar
barism.” However, White House press secretary
Mike McCurry stressed there was no direct evi
dence of a connection with the CIA case.
Pakistan President Farooq Leghari wrote Clin
ton to express his shock at what he called a “ter
rorist” attack on “four innocent U.S. nationals.”
The letter was delivered to the U.S. ambassador in
Islamabad.
The four Americans, all auditors for Houston-
based Union Texas Petroleum, were traveling from
their hotel to their office when they were inter
cepted by the gunmen.
The gunmen later abandoned their vehicle near
Karachi’s central post office and disappeared, the
police chief said.
The slain Americans were identified by Texas
Petroleum as: Ephraim Egbu, senior auditor; Joel
Enlow, manager of audit projects; Larry Jennings,
audit manager; and Tracy Ritchie, senior audit
supervisor.
The bodies of the men, all in their 40s, were to
be flown home to Houston on Thursday.
“Our heartfelt sympathies go out to theirfaalvjth crJ
lies and their friends here at Union Texas,”sj igeoftj
company chairman John Whitmire.
McCurry said the killings would not affectpla
for Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine; corner
bright to visit Pakistan. Clinton’s trip is schedii
for early 1998; Albright is to arrive Sunday.
Hours after the shooting, a crowd surround!
the black car, looking at the blood poolingindi
seats and coating the shattered glass in the wind

Pakistanis, who objected to him being whisked out

U.S. prosecutors had argued that Kasi acted to
