The president, apparently buoyed by the sun1 foothold 1: S forces had achieved in Haiti, made no mention of the fin-fight in Cap-Haitien in which U S Marines killed 10 Haitian men Saturday night outside a police station. Instead, he sounded the theme he will use in a spies h Mon dm to a special session of the U N General Assembly. Democracy is on the rise, and the United States welcomes a helping hand from other notions to assist not |ust in the Caribbean but in Bosnia and in other world hotspots Immediately upon switching gears. Clinton received Bosnian President A1 ita l/.etbegovii , whose Muslim-led government finds bet raved. Having act opted a plan to end the more than 2-year-old war in Bosnia, it watched in despair I n day os the U N Security Council relaxed some sanctions against Yugoslavia, rewarding Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic for promising to end weapons ship ments across the border to Bosn ian Serbs. On Haiti, the other major for eign policy problem on (he pres ident's immediate agenda, the White Mouse press office Issued u two-sentence statement, saying "we regret any loss of life in con nection with our mission in Haiti," but reaffirming U.S. resolve to respond to hostile action against American fortes "We will continue to work with Haitian military authorities for a peaceful transition," the statement said (.Union s churcn appearance ccip jmhI a weekend of politicking for Democrats in Illinois. Min nesota and Missouri. Kven though he has boon slip ping in the polls, the president seemed in good spirits, recount ing for the black congregation how he enjoyed walking the stncets of Harlem as a youth from Arkansas "because 1 was fasci nated by it; I wanted to see the people. I wanted to talk to the people. I wanted to sin' what they are up against." Some Democratic c andidates ac ross the country are keeping their distance from Clinton in their campaigns, but he was upbeat in proclaiming the virtues of brotherhood in politics, in boosting the economy and in world affairs. "If we can just face our chal lenges and move forward and come together, we’re going to do all right.” he said. Appearing with Clinton wore Gov. Mario Cuomo, a Queens Democrat seeking a fourth term, and Rep Charles Rangel, a Harlem African-American At the United Nations, officials said, Clinton will stress the need to expand democracy and assert that the administration would work closely with the United Nations to promote the security interests of free nations Madeleine Albright, the U S. ambassador, said, "There is no question that the cooperation between the U.S., U.N. and NATO is one that also is point ing to n direction of how many regional problems can la1 solved and worked on together " With American troops bound to remain in Haiti through the year, the intervention is a lively election-year topic. There are calls in Congress for setting a deadline for the forces to get out. Clinton sought, however, to portray his 1 Initi policy as a win tier. "I think more and more Amer icans are seeing that what we are tiding there is good and supports democracy throughout our hemi sphere, which is nothing more than saying our neighborhood," he said. Moreover, the president said, the U.S.-brokered agreement in Haiti for the military junta to yield power to ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide "helps to end human rights violations that we find intolerable everywhere but unconscionable on our doorstep and offers them (Haitians) a chance at stability." Search for Simpson jury begins IXXS ANGELES (Al’J — After three months of end less publicity in the O I Simpson murder case, 1 .(XX) people must look inward and answer a question: Could I he a fair juror for this man? "People have a personal involvement in this case. Some of them may have been out there on the free way that Friday afternoon," said Loyola Universi ty Law School professor Laurie Levenson. “Both sides have to be scared of jurors with an agenda, people who want to send a message " Those who raced out to roadsides to cheer Simp son in a Ford Bronco with a gun to his head and police in pursuit would 1m* less than ideal |urors But as the first stage of jury selection gets under way Monday, lawyers on both sides are realistic enough to know that no hope esists of rinding jurors unaware of the i ase Nor would they want such a jury, Levenson said. "You want someone on this jury who's at least heard about the case, bet ause you want a funt tinning member of society," she said Yet jurors also need to be able to put all prior know ledge aside and decide the rase on the evi dence, Levenson said. At a minimum. prospei live jurors will know that Simpson, a former footlmll star whose fame extend ed into show business, is charged with the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. They will also know that Simpson has declared himself "absolutely 1(H) portent not guilty” ami that he has the liest team of lawyers money can buy. Issues beyond bias for or against Simpson also must be considered. Jo-Ellan Dimitrius. the jury consultant working for the defense, has pinpointed a new phenomenon in the Simpson case: jurors who want to get on the case because of its notoriety and the chance they will become rich and famous as a result. 'Tve never seen it liefore," Dimitrius said. "Usu ally. people want to know how they can get out of serving on the jury. In this uise. they're coming up to me on the street asking, "How do 1 become a juror on the O.J. uhm'" Now. Levenson said, many prospei Is may tie fac ing the reality that they can't afford the time to serve. Of the 1,000 people summoned by Superior Court Judge Lance Ito, more than 700 have already returned one-page questionnaires discussing their availability to serve in a trial which could stretch into 1995. About two-thirds have said it would lie a hard ship. Turn to SIMPSON. Page 138 LAM E CO.
