Chinese courts try
counterrevolutionists
BEIJING ? About a dozen
major figures in last year's prodemocracy
movement have been
charged with counterrevolutionary
crimes, and two have been
nut on trial, a court official and a
I ? ? ?
Chinese source said Tuesday.
Fan Shumi, a spokeswoman
for the Beijing Intermediate
Court, said two students, Zhang
Ming and Zheng Xuguang, went
on trial late last week but their
sentences have yet to be handed
down.
The two students were among
21 on China's most-wanted list
and were charged with propagating
and inciting
counterrevolution.
"It was an open trial, but it's
not over yet," Fan said, declining
to give any other details.
Police arrest AIDS
protesters at center
ATLANTA ? Police said
they arrested 100 demonstrators
when a protest against the federal
Centers for Disease Control's definition
of AIDS turned
destructive.
'They were allowed to demonstrate
until they began defacing
CDC property," said DeKalb
County police Maj. J. S. Wilson.
"They painted the building. They
! beat on the windows and chained
themselves to the front entry
doors."
The protesters contend the
health agency's AIDS definition
costs women health benefits by
failing to include some gynecological
conditions that afflict women
infected with the AIDS
virus.
The AIDS Coalition to Unleash
Power said 700 people
from 30 states participated in the
demonstration. Police estimated
the crowd at 300.
Station to air drug
dealer commercial
A student-produced commercial
which some adults said improperly
portrayed blacks as drug
dealers went back on television
in the Midlands Tuesday after a
change of one word.
The commercial from drama
students at Alcom Middle School
in Columbia showed a jewelryclad
black man giving dnigs to a
boy. The advertisement had
opened with a narrator saying,
"This is what a drug dealer looks
like on the outside."
The middle school students, all
of whom are black, had won a
Midlands-area award for their
commercial, which was sent to
local television stations as a
public service announcement
Stations pulled the commercial
from the airwaves last month after
Columbia NAACP President

it stereotyped blacks as drug
dealers.
City bids for tree,
owner can match it
CHARLESTON, S.C. ? The
City of Charleston successfully
bid to buy the ancient Angel Oak
at a tax sale Tuesday. But the
* man who owns the tree, reputed
to be the oldest living thing east
of the Rockies, has six months to
match the bid and keep the oak.
And S. E. "Speedy" Felkel
said he will.
