Accent: NEW YORK (AP) Malcolm Forbes, owner of the business magazine that bears his name and an unabashed salesman of capitalism, died of a heart attack at his home Saturday, a spokesman for the magazine said. He was 70. He was pronounced dead at 4:30 p.m. at Timberfield, his home in Far Hills, N.J., where he died in his sleep, said the spokesman, William Donald Garson. Forbes, whose frequent forays on motorcycles and hot-ai- r balloons made him the symbol of capitalist machismo, had returned Saturday morning from a Harley-Davidso- Although the national award he was seeking was awarded to somebody else, Superintendent James G.

Another issue is whether the neighborhood's character will be changed by the construction of a research park. "A lot (of neighbors) want it to stay residential," Secrist said. "I believe too that a project like that could be done that's compatible with the surrounding neighborhood." However, Secrist said he under- density residential. "They want to have some confidence in the plan," he said. "They want to protect their investment." The purpose of zoning was never to prevent change, Secrist said. Although anyone can petition the Planning Commission at any time to change the master plan, it makes more sense to change it after several years have passed.

We'll miss him." Billionaire developer Donald Trump expressed shock at the death of his friend. d "Malcolm was an extraordinarily positive force in America's business and social life. His loss takes excitement, creativity and genuine business leadership from every American businessman," Trump said. Lee Iacocca, chairman of Chrysler Corp., said: "Malcolm Forbes was someone who lived life to its fullest and in doing so made all of our lives a little more colorful. He was a great businessman, publisher and collector, but more importantly, a great friend to many. We will miss him deeply."

Decade of leftist rule on the line in Nicaragua - A MANAGUA. Nicaragua (APi decade of Sandinista pride and U.S. hostility toward Nicaragua goes on the line today as voters decide whether to stick with their leftist government for six more years. The candidates of the two top parties Sandinista President Daniel Ortega and Violeta Barrios de Chamorro of the United National embody the Opposition or UNO choices for Nicaragua's future. "These elections constitute a gigantic and irreversible step in the process toward a greater democratization and reconciliation of the nation." Ortega wrote in an editorial published Saturday in the Sandinista party newspaper B.irricada. The Sandinistas have put a priority on r.a just winning or winning fairly, but also on appearing to win fairly. To that end, they have invited election observers, including the Organization of American States, the United Nations and former President Jimmy Carter. Ismary Castillo, a .'pokeswoman fur the Supreme Electoral Council, said Saturday that at least 3 .000 observers hall been accredited and that in the end lliere would probably be 4.000 from more than 40 groups. U.S. policy is also at stake: If the Sandinistas win a fair vote it will be difficult for President Bush to maintain the hostility of the past. Should Mrs. Chamorro win, the U S hostility is expected to end Ortega said Saturday that he would invite Bush to his inauguration as part of an effort to normalize relations after 10 vears of bitter Sajudis movement, declared before marking his paper ballot at a high school in Vilnius, Lithuania's capital. At least six legal parties, plus the front-runnSajudis popular movement, participated in the vote, which was to elect a Parliament. In unofficial returns compiled by Sajudis early Sunday, candidates the group favored won 47 of 52 districts tallied. The reformed Lithuanian Communist Party won 12 seats, including eight in which it was allied with Sajudis and four in which it competed with Sajudis. "Happy? Yes, so far," said I.andsbergis as he was congratulated by supporters at the group's er er headquaters shortly before mid- night. Among the reported Communist winners was party first secretary and Lithuanian president Algirdas Brazauskas. He led Lithuania in December when it became the first of the 15 Soviet republics to legalize parties. Unofficial groups in the other two Baltic republics, Iitvia and Estonia, ran and endorsed candidates in local elections in December, but Saturday's was the first official multiparty election. With all but one of the parties supporting independence, there was no doubt the coalition Lithuanian government likely to emerge from the voting would" be charged with implementing a policy of secession from the Soviet Union. Officials of the reform Communist Party were sanguine about the possibility of finishing second. "The party is not afraid to be in the opposition. In fact, we will have a quieter and easier future," party ideologist Maris Gurmanas said. He said the party hoped for 30 percent to 40 percent of the seats. (See LITHUANIA, Page A2) ness.
