Garner Continued from page 1A In Baghdad’s streets, people pressed on with their daily struggle to restore some nor malcy to life two weeks after the U.S.- British invasion force ousted Saddam, took control of Iraq and set off a rampage of loot ing and arson by Iraqis. Electricity, knocked out during U.S. bombing in early April, was only slowly being restored. Supplies of clean pumped water, dependent on electric power, remained largely cut off. Almost all shops remained closed. In a still mostly lawless city, looters picked at buildings not yet emp tied of fixtures and merchandise. “We need security, we need peace, we need law,” a writer and retired English teacher, Youarash Haidou, told Garner at a “town hall meeting” that started the retired general’s day in Baghdad, after he spent two days touring northern Iraq. The “town hall meeting,” staged in a giant conference hall behind the security of U.S. tanks and combat troops, was attended by no more than 60 university professors and government bureaucrats, all men, cho sen in some undisclosed manner. “My superior came to us last night and said we were required to attend,” one aca demic confided to a reporter. The process has been similarly murky for moving Iraq toward an “interim authority,” a provisional government led by a new pres ident that would prepare the way for demo cratic elections two years or more in the future, in a country divided between Sunni and Shiite, Kurd and Arab. In Washington, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told The Associated Press that the “beginning of an interim authority” would come soon, though he added, “I don’t know quite what ‘soon’ means. But he said the United States will jj s p or iroblems, he We’ve tri< \&M clubs t< rial-and-erroi allow a religious government, likeli take hold in Iraq, as some Shiites deni “If you’re suggesting, how woult feel about an Iranian-type govemmem a few clerics running everything in the os ust finding th try, the answer is: That isn’t goingtolu :achsemester pen," he said.

Amid the controversy created by the missile buildup on both sides of the iron curtain, Bitberg was a critical event for the young Republic of Germany. The Reagan administration was, at that time, fighting for the hearts and minds of those affected by Soviet domination, Gildner said. In this respect the Bitberg speech was a success, he said. Gildner said the profession he chose and the environment in which he worked was influenced by great speakers such as Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. “One of the many skills of a speechwriter is being a good pla giarist,” Gildner said. “When you really wanted to say some thing important, we went back to Lincoln.” Gildner praised President George W. Bush on the job he has done in office, as well as the skills of his senior speechwriter, Mike Gerson. Gildner said Gerson has recently published his first novel “Ghost Image,” a medical thriller. Gerson will be signing copies of his book and answer ing questions tonight at 7 p.m. at the Barnes and Noble on Texas Avenue. Korea Continued from page 1A aggressors,” North Korean Defense Minister Kim II Choi was quoted as saying by KCNA. Still, North Korea said it was ready to settle the dispute over its suspected nuclear weapons programs and that the “master key” for successful talks was for the United States to drop its hostile policy toward Pyongyang. Late Wednesday, Chinese Loreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and Secretary of State Colin Powell talked by phone and agreed that the Beijing talks were beneficial, China’s offi cial Xinhua News Ajfll reported. The U.S. Embassy Chinese Loreign Ministrys they had no details Thursday’s discussions, ministry spokesman Jianchao said the talks d “conducive to mutual standing and finding ways] resolve the North nuclear question peacefully] North Korea and fought against the States in the 1950-53 M War, which ended u peace treaty.
