Man in the News: Benjamin Franklin Chavis Jr.; Seasoned by Civil Rights Struggle
Date: 11 April 1993

ATLANTA, April 10 The Rev. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr. organized his first civil rights demonstration when he was 13 years old, although he did not know the significance at the time. As a boy, Mr. Chavis walked past a whites-only library in Oxford, N.C., each day on his way home from school, a friend recalled today. - The friend, Lawrence Wallace, said he remembers it being big news among blacks of the region when a 13-year-old boy walked into the Oxford Library to ask for a book and was told to leave, but questioned that demand. "He asked why," recalled Mr. Wallace, now a Washington lawyer. "A lot of us when we were told to go away we would just do so, but Ben would always challenge, always ask why." The librarians called his parents and the issue escalated from there. "After it was all over, they opened that library," Mr. Wallace said. 'I Just Wanted a Book'

The Fighting Words of Homer Bigart: A War Correspondent Is Never a Cheerleader
Date: 11 April 1993

GENERALLY speaking, a book patched together from old news clippings is a poor candidate for success. The contents of newsroom morgues may be immensely interesting to scholars, but a reader browsing through the average file of some deceased reporter is apt to encounter prose that seems as yellow and decayed as the paper on which it was printed. But "Forward Positions: The War Correspondence of Homer Bigart" (University of Arkansas Press, $24.95) is a stunning exception. The 51 battlefield dispatches collected here by Betsy Wade, Ho mer Bigart's colleague at The New York Times, ring with genuine drama shorn of facile cliches, propaganda and self-congratulation. Assembled in book form, they afford a rare overview of a great journalist's career.

By Nicholas D. Kristof

Four years after China's leaders crushed a movement by millions of prodemocracy protesters, they are facing a new challenge -- one that is quieter and less confrontational but eventually perhaps more serious. The challenge is most visible in the form of hundreds of thousands of satellite dishes that are sprouting, as the Chinese say, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Press Freedom Cited by Pole in U.S. Court

As a journalist in Poland in the 1980's, Andrzej Krajewski recalls, he evaded demands by the Communist regime's secret police to reveal the sources of the American and Japanese correspondents he worked with. Now, he says, he is waging another battle for journalistic integrity -- in the United States. Mr. Krajewski, a Polish citizen, is now a United States correspondent for the television network run by the post-Communist Polish Government. He is resisting a Federal subpoena for tape recordings of interviews he conducted in New York City with an American defendant in an arms-smuggling case in Brooklyn in which five Polish citizens face trial.

CHILEANS BAFFLED BY BRITON'S DEATH

Three years ago, in the stately Hotel Carrera in downtown Santiago, a maid entered Room 1406 to tidy up. She opened the closet door and found the body of a British journalist hanging by his neck, a pillowcase over his head. She screamed and ran out. At first, the police ruled the March 31, 1990, death of the journalist, Jonathan Moyle, 28, a suicide, and closed the case. Then some British officials suggested that it was accidental, that Mr. Moyle had been engaged in a dangerous form of sexual stimulation. Some family members say there was a deliberate attempt to discredit him by members of the British intelligence service in London.
