A Jewish settler from New York, Yaakov Geneck, quietly sat in a corner, with a sign an- nouncing he was on hunger strike .to protest growing vio- lence. Rabin's assassination at a pro-peace rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday night stunned a nation that, despite increasingly bitter divisions over peacemaking with the Arabs, had somehow denied that such violence could happen to them. The suspect, Yigal Amir, a 27-year-old law student with links to the Jewish extremist fr- inge, told interrogators he wanted to stop Rabin's peace policies. He reportedly said his actions were based on rabbinical rulings that permit Jews to kill people who gave away parts of the biblical Land of Israel. Israel radio reported that Yigal Amir's brother, Hagai, was one of an unspecified number of extremists rounded up for ques- tioning. \There were many writings on the wall, but still we felt this could not happen to us,\ said Chaim Ramon, chief of the pow- erful Histadrut Trade Union Federation. Rabin's death raised im- mediate questions about the future of Middle East peacemaking, especially the DEAD HEAT.. Continued from Page 1 Rochester to find out what's go- ing on in Plattsburgh,\ Mannix said in reference to an alleged Republican poll being done by a professional organization out of Rochester. Assemblyman Chris Ortloff said the last poll done for the Republican party was in early October. A Buffalo firm, Barry Zeplowitz and Associates^ stud- ied the area, but not to assess who was the race leader, accor- ding to Ortloff, who is also the party's county chairman. \You don't do a poll to see who's ahead or behind,\ he add- ed. \You do a poll to see what people are concerned about and how people of different demographics feel about issues.\ The information helped Ab- dallah and other Republican candidates address concerns and develop strategies. Ortloff said the poll informa- tion wasn't released because the data would help rival candidates at his party's expense. Under state law, political par- ties cannot release specific in- formation from a poll to bolster a candidate's position or damage a rival's. All or none of the results must be made available. \I don't, as a practice, release any information,\ the assemblyman said. Voter registration in the town figures to make the race inter- esting. According to figures from the Clinton County Board of Elections, as of Oct. 31, there were 2,275 Democrats, 1,931 Republicans and 1,263 indepen- dent voters registered in the town. Both candidates have made a late advertising push, appearing on numerous television spots. Abdallah has had several spots broadcast during prime time. \One of our goals was to get my name out in front of people. SUNY Continued from Page 1 SUNY*s credit rating is below 87 percent of 148 public higher education borrowers rated by Moody's, and among the largest institutions in that category, SUNY was the only system rated below an A. Moody's October rating for the bonds that SUNY will sell through the Dormitory Authority was Baal, meaning it is consid- ered a stable investment. The bonds, being issued to refinance earlier debt, are secured by dor- mitory rentals and are expected to save up to $22 million an- nually. The dormitory bonds for $226.5 million and about $31 million in special obligation bonds are scheduled to go to market Nov. 8., according to the Dormitory Authority. Standard & Poor's gave the bonds a similar stable rating. Council 82 officials promised their members they would not go two full years without a pay raise. The contract provides that separation benefits be provided to union members ousted by privatization. The agreement also contains significant new language design- ed to protect the health and safe- ty of Council 82 members and provide further discussion to resolve a long-standing compen- Israel-PLO autonomy agreement on the withdrawal of Israeli troops from most West Bank towns and villages by the end of the year. Some delays were possible as Rabin's successor, Shimon Peres, puts together a caretaker gov- ernment. Dubbed \Mr. Security,\ Rabin was the one politician Israelis trusted to take the risks involved along the rocky path toward peace. Israel's first native-born prime minister, he fought in the Jewish underground in Palestine and rose to Israel's military chief of staff before entering politics. His peacemaking with the PLO earned him the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize, along with Peres and PLO chief Yasser Arafat. But the political climate had turned unprecedentedly venom- ous in recent months over the planned West Bank withdrawal, and Rabin became the target of increasing vitriol by Israel's right wing, which called him a traitor and compared him to a Nazi. Tens of thousands stood silently Sunday at the site of the assassination. A sea of memorial candles, bouquets, handwritten prayers and Rabin photographs covered the spot where the prime minister was shot. A sign in Hebrew read, \Why?\ \Rabin was looking to the future. He was looking out for us, the younger generation,\ said When you are new, you have to do that,\ Abdallah said. Mannix said he is aware of Abdallah's television push, but he is not concerned about mat- ching his opponent's campaign dollar for dollar. \I've got a budget and I'm go- ing to follow it responsibly the same way you should act if you get elected,\ he said. Pold Politieol Advertisement ELECT LAWRENCE \LARRY 11 PAOLA COUNCILMAN FOR TOWN OF MOOERS Paid For By Voters To Elect Paola EXTEND* By Mark Chandler Never mind \let a smile be your umbrella.\ What most people need for a legal \rainy day\ is umbrella insurance. It gets its name because it arches over and covers other insurance policies, adding extra liability protection in case of disastrous lawsuits. And it costs far less than add- ing such excess coverage to each of the underlying policies. Chances are you won't be sued for a million dollars. But juries are awarding huge amounts these days. You could lose all your assets or have your earn? ings attached for years to come. Umbrella coverage is advis- able for anyone who is vulner- able to lawsuit and has enough to lose. That usually means anyone who owns a home, drives a car or employs a babysitter or house worker. Insurers require certain levels of coverage on the underlying auto, homeowner or other poli- cies. Raising their deductibles might even pay the premiums for *1 million in umbrella pro- tection. Put an umbrella over your per- sonal liability.
