(Subject to change without notice) Trouble had come to River City and the “P” didn’t stand for pool NEW CSO fes quickly shelled out $1,500 and up to install dishes, and young men and often-illiterate laborers spilled out of the cafes onto the sidewalks at night. Stull others worried about the effect on local morals and family life. “Our principles are quite different. We are Arabs, and we have different values than the West,” said furniture maker El-Sayed ElMoryah, who was awakened one night by a neighbor’s wails. While the neighbor’s husband was outall night watching TV, the woman walked the streets weeping loudly, With only two movietheaters in Damietta, there is woefully little else to do, particularly for the young men who cannot save enough money in a weak economy to marry and settle down.

Bring him back from the dish.” w Nigeria nears deadline for election results ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Anxious Nigerians pressed the military governmenton Saturday to declare MoshoodK.O. Abiola the nation’s president as a deadline loomed that may void the results of the weekold election The June 14 elections have been blocked by a court case brought by supporters of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida’s regime, who insist the balloting was rigged Under rules written before the crisis, the final tally must bereleased by Sunday forthe results to be valid. The deadline’s passing would give the military an excuse to scrap the outcome. Nobel Prize-winning author Wore cig returned Saturday rom the U.N. humanrights con- vention in Vienna and joined the chorus demanding an immediate release of the election results. “A very tiny but powerful cabal is toying with the future of our naton,” Soyinka said in a statement. “The nation knows its next president, so does the National Electoral Commission, so does Babangida. Any further delay in making the people’s verdict official is a deliberate cultivation of chaos.” Gani Fawehihmi, another human rights activist who had been jailed by the current government, also said the standoffwill lead to civil unrest. “We are clearly heading toward veryterrible chaos and political upheaval that will finally eclipse the military government...” he said. Religious leaders called for calm and urged the government to lift the confounding ban on election results, which critics see as a last-ditch bid for Babangida to stay in power. Troops remained posted in volatile parts of the country. Nigeria, plagued by mismanagement and corruption during a decade of military rule, has faced chronic feuding between Muslims and Christians and the nation’s 250 ethnic groups. An unusually broad spectrumof society, however, has pressed the military-appointed National Electoral Commission to release the re- sults of an election many Nigerians previously considered a sham. ; THE ROCK 19 is the latest innovation in FT. satellite antennas To Motivate and Educate| Use the Standard-Examiner in the classroom. merIRS Get The New Look You Want For Less.
