m2__Casthégar News oor 1.1987 NFL questions arise NEW YORK (AP) — Two questions as the NFL heads into the semifinals of the Super Bow! tournament. 1. Should we call off the playoffs and award the New York Giants the Vince Lombardi Trophy that so many people are conceding them? 2. Should we let the Giants play the Redskins on Sunday and call it Super Bowl 20‘ (or XX.V in the NFL's Saper Numerology system) on the promise that Denver and Cleveland aren't up to their calibre anyway? ‘Answer to both: Let's play it straight and see what happens. You never know. WASHINGTON [PLUS 7] ARNY GIANTS Joe Gibbs suggested going into Chicago that the Redskins might not bother to show up. He's doing it again this week, perhaps with more reason — New York's 24-14 win in Washington a month ago was, in its own way, as complete a victory as the Giants’ 49-3 pasting of San Francisco last Sunday. ‘The chances are good that Jay Schroeder won't throw six interceptions, as he did in that game. The chances are good that Joe Jacoby will get help to keep Lawrence Taylor from getting three sacks again. DISCOVER SALMO SKI AREA THE BEST IN THE WEST!

DENVER (PLUS 3) AT CLEVELAND Off the first half of the season, the Broncos are an easy pick. Off the second, lean to the Browns. But it's not that easy. The three points are for home-field advantage, which did Cleveland less good against the New York Jets last Saturday than Mark Gastineau's Toughing-the-passer penalty and Joe Walton's decision to use the prevent offence in overtime. The winner of this one probably will be the team that runs the ball better, Hanford Dixon, Frank Minnifield and the winds off Lake Erie will make life diffieult for John Elway, and the winds and Karl Mecklenburg will do the same for Bernie Kosar. A hunch. The Browns are an emerging team that's probably been overtouted because ‘the rest of the AFC crashed so suddenly. With the Super Bow] a game away, the more mature Broncos may be able to dig deep enough to regain their form.

CONTROVERSY SURROUNDS CONTRACT DEAL TORONTO (CP) — If Los Angeles Kings coach Pat Quinn can be expelled by NHL president John Ziegler for signing a contract and accepting money to coach Vancouver next year, so should the Canucks’ owners and management, Al Eagleson said Saturday. Quinn's action in December surfaced Friday on a Vancouver radio station, although.the deal for Quinn to become Vancouver's general manager next season was completed Christmas Eve and was made known to the Los Angeles club about four days later. Ziegler expelled Quinn immediately and called for an investigation. ¢ Quinn has a three-year agreement to coach the Kings to the end of the current season. The contract; however, isn’t on file with the National Hockey League. “If anyone should be expelled from the league it should be the Vancouver management and ownership,” said Eagleson, executive director of the National Hockey League Players’ Association. He said the team made a similar approach to Canada’s Olympic coach, Dave King, last year and “induced him to breach his contract. “Fortunately, we were able to persuade Dave to stay with our program. This year they've approaebed Pat Qinn (and) apparently signed him.” Ty Eagleson also is Hockey Canada’s chief international negotiator. Eagleson said that by signing Quinn at this stage of the season, Vancouver figures “to be able to close the gap on the Los Angeles Kings” in the NHL's Smythe Division. The Kings, with 40 points, are in fourth place and 12 points ahead of Vancouver in the battle for the last playoff berth. Eagleson said he could agree with Ziegler’s concern for the integrity of the game being jeopardized, but added, “Doesn't integrity apply to owners and managers as well as coaches?” MINOR HOCKEY WEEK Roots began in Trail OTTAWA (CP) — The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association is stepping back 80 years this month to kick off its annual Minor Hockey Week as well as introduce a new sponsor and @ new product, The step back takes the official opening of the week-long celebration to Trail, on Jan, 17 where the countrywide event took its first staggering steps 30 years ago.

Not just an administrative centre for government, the Kremlin is an entire walled city dating back to the 10th century that is packed with art and can be entered freely. The 28hectare site includes three cathedrals, several sumptuous palaces once used as the Moscow residences of the ezar: bell tower that took a century to build, and a 6,000-seat concert hall, The few reminders of the Kremlin's modern role as a political power centre are the sleek black limousines with darkened interiors that periodically race by. ARMORY A MUSEUM ‘The Kremlin's armory — once a weapons workshop — is now a museum featuring many of the greatest treasures accumulated by the czars in eight centuries of plundering.

Owners operate like OPEC NEW YORK (AP) — The failure to re-sign this year's big-name free agents shows that baseball owners are operating “an overt monop- oly like OPEC,” the head of the major league players’ union said Saturday. “It's obvious that the own- ers’ conspiracy is continu- ing,” said Don Fehr, execu- tive director of the Major League Baseball Players’ Association. Tim Raines, Lance Parrish, Andre Dawson, Bob Horner, Rich Gedman, Ron Guidry, Bob Boone, Doyle Alexander, Gary Roenicke and Toby Harrah failed to re-sign with their 1986 teams by midnight Thursday night. All but Roenicke and Har- rah were offered salary ar- bitration by the clubs but de- clined. They now ‘can sign with any team except their old club before May 1. “The players weren't sat- isfied with their offers or they wanted to leave (their 1986 teams),” said Dawson's agent, Dick Moss. “That's what free agency is all about. “We'll see if everything that happens from here on is what free agency is all about.” If the free agents don't get any attractive offers, Fehr said, it will bolster the play- ers’ contention that owners No arrests in new ordinance BOSTON (AP) — City Council President Bruce Bol- ling said he does not envisage police officers arresting many hockey players on the ice or basketball players on the court even if his proposed anti-violence ordinance goes into effect. Under the measure Bolling introduced to the council on Monday, “any professional athlete engaged in compe tition in the city of Boston shall be subject to immediate arrest . . . upon the com pletion of any violent act during said competition.” But Bolling said “There's no way that you're going to be able to have police officers in any city . . . acting as referees trying to decide when something becomes an assault.” In Detroit, city councilman David Eberhard said Wed. nesday he will ask the city’s law department to draw up an ordinance similar to the one proposed in Boston. are conspiring to hold down salaries. “We'll have to see whether the market opens up,” he said. “Right now, it’s impos- sible to tell what will hap- pen.” The Seattle Mariners have expressed interest in Raines and Horner while the Phil- adelphia Phillies say they may try to sign Parrish. But the teams have indicated they won't sign the players unless they lower their sal- ary demands. Some of the free agents were angry that their clubs did not re-sign them. “It got to the point where they were almost insulting me,” said Guidry, who re- jected a two-year, $1.65 mil lion offer from the New York Yankees. “If I had taken it, I couldn't have looked myself in the mirror next year.” Hippos attack three golfers PHALABORWA, SOUTH AFRICA (REUTER) — A pair of hippopotamuses sent three golfers and their cad dies running for their lives during a $65,000 interna tional tournament Thursday. Paul Burley, a 25-year-old player from Grimsby, Eng land, disturbed the beasts af- ter hitting his 17th tee shot into the rough. He was lining up his second shot when there was a crashing noise in the thick bush behind him. “Suddenly two hippos, one behind the other, came crash ing out of the bush towards us,” Burley said. “My caddie threw down my bag and was off across the fairway like a shot, and I was close behind “The others (South Afri cans Jannie Ackerman and Andre van Straaten) were ahead of us as we screamed across the fairway and into the rough on the other side looking for a tree to get up “There weren't any big trees, but fortunately the hippos suddenly veered off and went back the way they came.” Burley “hurried up a bit” when he went back to take his shot and topped it badly, but still managed to make par. Golf director Jimmy Hem phill said several families of hippos lived in a nearby pool but rarely came out in the daytime.

Do believe me, all of these things cannot be compared with those which I saw here.” The word Kremlin means fortress and the site in Moscow was h ped for p against the Mongol hordes who surged ‘out of the east in the 12th eentury. The original wooden fortifications were twice burned down by the 600,000-man horde of Batu, son of Genghis Khan, who established a reign of terror that lasted 2 centuries, > IVAN THE GREAT The most prominent Kremlin structures were built in the 14th century, during the reign of Ivan the Great. It is ironie that the Kremlin, a supreme symbol of Russian culture, was largely designed by foreigners. The massive walls with their 17 towers are redily products of the Italian Renaissance period, designed by Italian architects led by Aristotle Fioravante of Bologna. The foreigners were imported at the urging of Ivan's wife, Zoe, who had grown up in the Vatican as a ward .of Pope Sixtus IV, and dreamed of creatinf® a city to rival Rome. It, is a tribute to the Italians’ skill that their masterpiece looks Russian from top to bottom. Almost every major event in Russia's tormented history, almost every outstanding personality who-played a role in. the country’s development, is represented somewhere in the Kremlin. PRAYED ALOT Ip the Cathedral of the Assumption, visitors can admire the ornate wooden throne where Ivan the Terrible used to pray for his victims, He must have spent a good deal of time there, for the tales of his brutality defy belief, Catherine the Great's golden sleigh is in the Armory. It took 24 horses lo pull this mass of precious metal and they had to be changed every two hours to keep her moving at a satisfactory clip. The throne room of the Terem Palace features a window from which a box used to be lowered to receive petitions from the common people. It was known as the long box, since petitions usually lay in it a long time unread. In the former Senate building, Lenin's apartment and study have been preservéd exactly as they were in his time. From these austere rooms he plotted strategy during the years of civil war and chaos that followed the 1917 Revolution. It is ironic that the seat of government of an atheistic state should be so i d b; i jut rs i tower above the nearby government buildings. 5 Opinions differ on which the Kremlin cathedrals is most beautiful, but the czars chose the Cathedral of the A i for their and all of them up to Peter the Great are buried there, Every square centimetre of the walls and ceilings in this church is covered with allegorical frescoes, Originally: created in the 16th century, these works were inexplicably repainted later on, and were believed lost. 4 Restoration experts applied an acidic solution to the walls in 1947, and the original frescoes were rediscovered. Today, their colors seem to glow with life. The Kremlin's greatest treasures, such as Monomahk's cap, the symbol of divine authority invested in the throne, are displayed in the ARmory, as they have been for centuries, Legend has it that Monomahk’s cap, made of gold and studded with gems, once belonged to Julius Caesar, and was sent as a gift by a Byzantine emperor to Viadimor Monomahk, the prince of Kiev. The Kremlin also boasts the biggest gun in the world, known as the czar’s cannon. It has a calibre of 890 “s the Kremlin's three cathedrals with their awesome domes and each ball weighs a tonne. It was never meant to be fired — only to scare the Mongols. > Lambert still working By ANN DUNCAN ‘Canadian Press MONTREAL — She is un- deniably one of the world’s richest women, yet works 12 or 14 hours a day, six days a week for her abiding passion — the impact of architecture on every- body's life. Phyllis Lambert, one of the four offspring of the late Samuel Bronfman whose liquor-based empire is es- timated to be worth $36 billion, even gave up her first love, sculpture, because it wasn't public enough. “I felt that with sculptures, you would always be making objects that would be in someone's private home and I wasn't interested in that,” Lambert, 59, said in an inter- view in her book-crammed office. “Architecture is a much more public art.” * Everything about Lambert exudes a no-nonsense atti tude, an impatience with the frivolous — everything from her closely cropped hair and her lack of jewelry to her tailored pinstriped suit and crisp speaking style. LEADS FIGHT Her single-minded commit- ment to architecture promp- ted her to help found Heri. tage Montreal, which has spearheaded the fight to save the city's architectural land- marks. Lambert, a Vassar College graduate and a respected ar chitect in her own right, has also been a staunch sup porter of the reformist Mon- treal Citizen's Movement that recently took over city hall after 26 years of rule by Jean Drapeau's Civic party. It was under Drapeau that much of the city's richest architectural heritage was razed. “There's been so much property destroyed in Mon treal that it looks as if we have had a war,” Lambert said sadly. ° Her deep-seated -convic- tions have even prompted her, at times, to oppose some of her family's building proj- ects. She is the “P” in Cemp Investments Ltd., which con- trols 40 per cent of Cadillac Fairview Corp., one of Can- ada’s biggest real estate firms. (Cemp is an acronym for Samuel Bronfman’s chil- dren — the others are indus- trialists Charles and Edgar, and Mijnda who died in 1985 at age 60.) NEEDS CITIES Without livable cities, without their past, “one lives as a savage, because the sense of continuity is ex- tremely important.” In recent years, the project that has been consuming Lambert's enmergies is by far her most ambitious to date. Since 1979, she has spent millions of dollars on the Canadian Centre for Archi- tecture, reputed to be one of the largest collections of its kind in the world. The centre has 100,000 ob- jects — photographs, prints and drawings, archival mat- erials and books, some dating back to the 15th century. The collection will be housed in Shaughnessy House, a classic, 19th-century greystone mansion in Mon- treal that Lambert bought in 1974 for $725,000 to save it from the wreckers’ ball. When it opens in Septem. ber 1988, it will be “the first proper architectural museum in the world,” says John Harris, curator of the Royal Institute for British Archi tecture. SETS STANDARD Two of the collections, the library and photographs, are at the cutting edge of their disciplines. Lambert views the cen- tre, which will have a hectic schedule of public exhibi- tions, films and conferences, as part of her attempts to raise public consciousness about architecture. The federal and provincial governments have pumped $8 million into the project, which will cost $23 million for the buildings alone. Much of the money comes from Lambert, an intensely private person who balked at putting a specific figure on her contribution. Lambert was drawn into architecture through the Bronfman connection, a link that she is tired of reporters asking her about. She made it quite clear during the len- gthy, wide-ranging interview that she prefers talking about her public commit- ments rather than her pri vate life. “As a woman, one gets a hell of a lot more of that than one would get as a man. You know, women are always somebody's daughter or somebody's wife. . , I don’t think they would talk about it if they were talking to my brothers.” Lambert said she does not shy away from the Bronfman name. Nevertheless, she maintains her married name although her childless union with French-American busi- nessman Jean Lambert last- ed only five years. “I just found that I wanted to be known for myself and not for ...” She let the sentence trail off. It was her father who gave her a start in architecture after she wrote an 18-page, detailed criticism of his plans for erecting a headquarters for his Seagram Co. in New York City. He was so impressed that he asked her to be the proj- ect’s planning director. Volunteers pitch in for poor TORONTO (CP) — Two days a week, volunteers gather in a chilly warehouse to stuff battered transport containers with thousands of kilograms of powdered milk, rice, dried food and clothing bound for overseas mission- aries. Since October 1985, the group has shipped more than 2.2 million kilograms of food to Third World missions. They sent 105 container loads around the world last year and expect to ship ever more in 1987 Operating out of the base. ment of Dr. Andrew Sim. one’s suburban Etobicoke basement, they form an or. ganization called Canadian Food for Children. The group was loosely formed six years ago to gather food for Mother Ter esa’s worldwide missions, but Simone said Mother Teresa encouraged -them to form their own organization 15 months ago to help other needy groups as well. Simone, a skin specialist who divides his time between his practice and his charity work, said the group does little fundraising and relies more on “word of mouth” to gather the money used to get the foodstuffs they ship over seas. “We trust in God,” he said A busload of students from Asumption High School in nearby Burlington, Ont helped regular volunteers Thursday as a huge container was readied for shipment to the Verona Fathers in Ugan da to aid refugees there. Earlier this week, 17,000 kilograms of food and medi cine were shipped to Cana. dian nurse Theresa Hicks, who runs a medical clinic in a disease-ridden squatters’ camp in Liberia The medical supplies mostly antibiotics and vita mins — was provided by Can-Map, a . Toronto-based organization that sends free drugs to needy countries “We get pictures of the children that are helped by the shipments — we see them wearing the clothes, eating the food,” said Helen Mec Guire, a volunteer from neighboring Brampton, Ont.
