Clinton, Pope John Pair
among Nobel nomin
OSLO, Norway (AP) —The famous
and the anonymous — from Presi
dent Clinton to the children of Colom
bia— are among a record 130 nomi
nees for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.
The Oslo-based Nobel Peace
Prize committee has received nom
inations for 100 individuals and 30
organizations, committee secretary
Geir Lundestad said Tuesday.
That is higher than last year’s
previous record of 129, “and will
probably end up even higher,” Lun
destad said. The committee is still
receiving nominations postmarked
by the Feb. 1 deadline, and is likely
to add its own candidates when it
meets on March 3. This year’s prize,
worth about $1 million, will be an
nounced in mid-October.
The committee, which works in
deep secrecy through its Five or six
meetings a year, refuses to reveal
the names of candidates, partly to
protect some of them from perse
cution at home. However, those
making the nominations often an
nounce their candidates.
This year’s known nominations
include Clinton for efforts to protect
world peace and
promote
democracy, for

Carter for wide-
ranging peace
efforts and

Pope, Yeltsin meet atVatkj
“Extremely cordial” talks fail to produce papal visit tol
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope
John Paul II and Russian Presi
dent Boris Yeltsin held long,
warm talks Tuesday that fell
short of arranging a papal visit or
a meeting with the head of the
Russian Orthodox Church.
The talks in John Paul’s private
library lasted 50 minutes, and the
Vatican described them as “ex
tremely cordial.”
But Yeltsin’s spokesperson,
Sergei Yastrzhembsky, said the two
men did not even discuss a visit by
the much-traveled pope to Russia
or a first-ever meeting with the
Russian Orthodox patriarch, which
the Vatican has been trying to set up.
The pope still has a standing
invitation to Moscow, first issued
by Mikhail Gorbachev in 1989, pa
pal spokesperson Joaquin Navar-
ro-Valls said after the talks.
Such a visit would be unlikely
anytime soon because of differ
ences between theVatican and the
Russian Orthodox Church. Wliile
“John Paul II was
extremely satisfied
with this meeting.”

leaders call overzealous missionary
