No violence was reported, police said. MANILA, Philippines Report: Philippines' top cop fired 5 Newspapers reported Sunday that President Fidel Ramos has fired the chief of the national police, whose officers are widely believed to be behind kidnappings, murders and other crimes. Director Cesar Nazareno, appointed by former President Corazon Aquino and a close ally of her family, had no comment on the reports that he would be replaced by his deputy, Raul Imperial. But Imperial said Sunday that Nazareno would soon step down. Nazareno has come under fire for not cracking down on criminals who have, among other things, abducted many wealthy Chinese-Filipino businessmen.

Nazareno has also been accused of leaking plans to replace provincial police commanders without the approval of local government officials, an apparent violation of the 1990 law that established the police force. RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil Collor friends, foes show colors President Fernando Collor de Mello asked Brazilians to support his government by wearing the national colors of yellow and green Sunday, but most ignored his appeal or wore black for impeachment. In Brasilia, about 10,000 black-clad protesters gathered near the presidential palace to demand that Collor, threatened with impeachment proceedings over corruption, step down. A green-and-yellow Collor doll hanging from a noose was carried at the head of the procession, Among the protesters was Pedro Luis Rodri-gues, Collor's former press spokesman, who resigned earlier this month. Folha de Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest and most respected newspaper, said Saturday that wearing black expressed "the sentiment that predominates at this moment: mourning.

Mourning for the destruction of the most elementary standards of ethical administration." Only about 500 people gathered Sunday at Collor's Brasilia mansion to back the president. From wire reports MIAMI Police: Argument triggered shootout 1 Authorities said Sunday that a shootout that killed four people and wounded 1 7 inside a crowded Jamaican nightclub apparently was triggered by an argument between two groups of men. Bullets showered the dance floor at the Taste of The Islands early Saturday when several gunmen opened fire as scores of people took part in a birthday celebration. "We believe, from what we know now, there was some type of altercation between two different groups of males," a police investigator said. "An argument probably transpired and it escalated into a shooting incident." One of those killed was Hilda LaToy Reynolds, who was celebrating her 1 7th birthday.

JANESVILLE, Wis. Geraldo, Klan member arrested 2 Talk show host Geraldo Rivera and a Ku Klux Klansman were arrested after they scuffled during a Klan rally Sunday. Rivera, who was taken to a hospital, said he suffered a badly bitten thumb and cuts. Rivera and John R. McLaughlin, 42, of Champaign, 111., were taken into custody at a rally attended by about 60 Klan members and a slightly larger number of anti-Klan demonstrators, said police Lt.

Larry Loveland. Rivera was arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge and MacLaughlin on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, Loveland said. Both posted bail and were released after about three hours in jail. Rivera said he was in Janesville to tape the rally when one of the Klansmen began calling him names. "He then threw something at me and kicked me in the left leg," Rivera said.

"Then I hit him back. Then we fell to the ground and I got on top and we were both arrested." Loveland said about 60 Klan members and a slightly larger group from the anti-Klan faction "Peace March" confronted each other during a "White Power" rally at the home of Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard Ken Petersen. HARRISON CITY, Pa. Husband says food caused fight 3 A 61 -year-old man arrested in the stabbing death of his wife told a police officer he was incensed at the way she placed their food in the refrigerator, authorities said. Joseph Fallat Sr.

was arrested Saturday at his Westmoreland County home in the slaying of his 50-year-old wife, Florene, who police said had been stabbed 219 times. "He told me he killed his wife," said patrolman John Simcoviak of the Penn Township police. "He said she would stack the refrigerator full of vegetables, hiding the milk, and he wasn't going to take that anymore." Fallat was jailed without bond, pending a court hearing. World WUNSIEDEL, Germany 170 arrested in pro-Hess rallies 4 About 170 people were arrested during weekend demonstrations on the fifth anniversary of the death of Nazi deputy Rudolf Hess, police said Sunday. Hess, 93, hanged himself at Spandau prison in Berlin on Aug.

17, 1987. He was the last prominent Nazi prisoner in Germany and had spent more than 40 years as the prison's only inmate. As in past years, the northern Bavarian cities of Bayreuth and Wunsiedel, Hess's hometown, banned pro-Hess demonstrations by rightist groups. Police stopped vehicles leading into the towns to block neo-Nazi skinheads and other extremists Saturday, arresting about 75 people and confiscat SANDERS: Candidate cites consistency in re-election campaign 'That's difficult. It causes him some Continued from Page 1A strides toward working with groups with mont issues are as pleased with Sanders' record.

The head of the state's largest hospital, Medical Center Hospital of Vermont, said he has philosophical differences with Sanders' support for a single-payer health care system in which one entity would replace insurers. "I certainly have a different perspective on the right way to deal with the health care issue," MCHV President James Taylor said. "His (Sanders) single-payer approach does not effectively deal with the issues that are driving the cost problems." Taylor said the problems of access to health care are driven by cost, and the key to fixing this is addressing cost containment. The health care system does not have the proper incentives for consumers and providers to be cost effective, he said. "A better approach would be one that is embodied in a more managed care approach" such as in health maintenance organizations, he said.

By giving all the money and power to a single payer, those incentives are not being changed, Taylor said. "I just don't think people in our society are ready to have important decisions about their health care made by some government body," he said. degree of pain to have to kind of work at things that he might have otherwise pointed the finger at." Still, as a freshman, Sanders has made his mark. Among other things, he has developed legislation to create a uniform national cancer registry and a universal health care system like Canada's. Sanders sits on the House Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs Committee and the Government Operations Committee.

He strongly opposes federal funding of the savings-and-loan bailout. "I think he's made monumental that is where he can be most effective, he said. Although Sanders' coalition appears to be gaining ground, his ability to be an inside player and maneuver within the political framework of Washington is weak. Sanders went to Washington in 1990 and in the third week said Congress was totally corrupt, Nelson said. The assessment has been on target, but "messengers don't always survive.

He spent much of 1991 marginalized," he said. "He is trying to find a way to work within the system without losing his philosophical integrity," Nelson said. in the House," said Marlene Burke, president of Vermont-National Education Association. "The man has a 100 percent voting record on NEA issues" such as head start and health care, she said. The Vermont-NEA has endorsed Sanders, as has the national association.

In 1990, the national union did not endorse Sanders in spite of the state affiliate's recommendation. "I think he has tried very hard to put more funding in education," Burke said. "There's no reason not to support him." But not all the players close to Ver JUSTICE: Fatal driving case spends 6 years in courts Getting licenses reinstated Continued from Page 1A her husband. After failing to convince the jury or the trial judge of the suicide theory, the delense appealed unsuccessfully to three courts, losing the last round in June. His lawyers, who have been provided at roc Lii "'V taxpayer expense, had considered taking the case to a federal ap Under Vermont law, drunken driver offenders whose licenses are revoked for life may reapply In three years.

The Vermont Motor Vehicle Department does not track the number of repeat DWI offenders that reapply for licenses, but they estimate that about a dozen are successful annually. To get a license, a motorist whose right to drive has been revoked, must: I Abstain from using alcohol or drugs for three years. Submit notarized letters from four people swearing that the driver has abstained from alcohol or drugs for three years. Complete alcohol therapy. Pass a background check by a Vermont Motor Vehicle Department Inspector, who will investigate the non-drinking claims.

Testify before a Motor Vehicle Department hearing officer about his or her abstinence from alcohol and drugs. If all those hurdles are cleared, the motor vehicle commissioner may authorize the applicant to apply for a driver's license. This would mean the applicant would have to pass written, eye and road exams and show proper proof of insurance. I Drivers with six-year license suspensions for four DWIs during more than 1 5 years may apply for a new license if they can pass the above test by proving that they abstained from alcohol and drugs for three years. Drivers whose licenses have been revoked for three years for a third DWI conviction could be eligible for reinstatement If they abstain from alcohol or drugs for two years.

A person petitioning to get a license may not count any time for abstention from alcohol and drugs while being jailed, Motor Vehicle Commissioner Michael D. Griffes said. He said drivers may petition only once to get their licenses back. Drivers who do get their licenses back early and subsequently are convicted for drunken driving are out of luck, he said. "You can only get It (the license) back once," Griffes said.

i peals court in New L. rj York City, but they Public defender Jerry Schwarz said it was possible that his client would petition Vermont District Court to reconsider the sentence. Officials said Papazoni was considered a model probationer between 1987 and March. The state Probation Office in Burlington, in an unusual move, successfully petitioned the court to discharge Papazoni from supervision in March even though he had not started his prison term. State prosecutor Gary Kessler said the state maintains that Papazoni's performance since killing Demers has little to do with whether he should go to prison.

Repeated attempts to reach Papazoni, of 31 Kingswood Drive, were unsuccessful. Papazoni had an earlier DWI conviction in November 1980 and had another DWI charge reduced to careless and negligent driving in March 1979, court records indicate. "I don't hate the guy," Demers said. "I hate what he did." Demers said he wished that the courts could act swiftly and not delay justice. Demers, who is disabled, has had multiple medical problems since 1987, Dr.

Dennis Plante said. "His medical care has been complicated by the ongoing stress related to the loss of his wife. His ability to care for his children as a single parent has also been quite difficult," Plante wrote in 1990. Demers said he has not seen his wife's killer since the day he was sentenced. "I talked to him face-to-face.

I told him I forgive him," Demers said. He said Papazoni said, 'You've got to be a real strong He had tears in his eyes." Demers said he was brought up not to hate people. "But you can hate the crimes they commit," he said. Papazoni has not had a drink since the 1986 accident, one family member said. He was required to refrain from alcohol while on probation, and officials said they were unaware of any violation.

Demers said he was pleased to hear that Papazoni apparently has given up drinking, but it came too late for his family. "I thank him for working on his say Papazoni is prepar- d.
