Classified Display Classified Display Dying couple kept a diary By JOE BIGHAM Associated Press writer FRESNO, Calif. An elderly couple whose car got stuck on a snowy mountain road left behind religious poetry, funeral instructions and a diary of the more than two weeks they survived before dying of exposure. In one passage written to their children, Nada Jean Chaney, 68, lovingly described the death of her 75-year-old husband, Kenneth, Mariposa County Undersheriff Pelk Richards said Thursday.

"She said it was so peaceful that she hadn't realized that their father had passed away," Richards said. The diary said the couple had been stranded in their car for 18 days when Chaney died. "She was expecting to go next and gave funeral instructions," Richards said. It wasn't clear how long she survived after her husband died. The family asked Richards not to release the diary.

The Chaneys had moved from Southern California to Mariposa, in the Sierra Nevada foothills, just weeks before their deaths. Woman says Smith told her no one would believe he raped her By DANA KENNEDY Associated Press writer PALM BEACH, Fla. The woman who says William Kennedy Smith raped her told police she had a harrowing night in which she was overpowered, assaulted, cursed and told that no one would believe her if she cried rape. According to a graphic, detailed affidavit authorities released Thursday, the 29-year-old woman said she ran from Smith but he tackled her. When she tried to push him away, she said he pinned her down, "slamming his chest" against her.

At one point, she told police, he yelled "stop it, bitch," when she continued to struggle. Later, she said, he told her no one would believe her if she said he raped her. Smith, the 30-year-old nephew of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, was charged Thursday with one count of sexual battery and one count of battery.

Rape is classified as sexual battery in Florida. Smith, who has maintained he is innocent, says he is worried and saddened but expects to be exonerated in court. The woman's lawyer, David Roth, says his client felt relieved and vindicated. The woman said in a statement that had she known she would be identified publicly she might not have gone through with the case. The supermarket tabloid The Globe, NBC News, The New York Times and other media identified her by name.

Misdemeanor charges have been filed against The Globe, and authorities said charges against The Times and NBC are being considered. "Had I known my name would be released, it might have dissuaded me from going through with this," the woman said. "Rape needs to be reported to keep others from going through what I went through." Bush will slow down a bit By TOM RAUM two public events from his schedule per Associated Press writer WASHINGTON President Bush i is cutting back his hectic schedule because of his thyroid problem but only a little. A day after Bush's physician told him to slow down, Bush was flying to New Jersey today to dedicate- two new buildings at Princeton University. Aides said Bush most likely would make the trip with the heart monitoring device he has worn since Monday still strapped to his waist.

Although the president decided to continue with the trip, and a commencement address on Sunday at Hampton University in Hampton, on Sunday, he canceled a planned trip on Monday to Chicago. Bush's chief physician suggested Thursday that the president slow down while he is undergoing treatment for the overactive thyroid gland that caused his heart disorder. But Bush's press secretary, Marlin Fitzwater said the president would only cut one or In Judge says some Noriega transcripts will be released MIAMI (AP) A federal judge in the Manuel Noriega case ruled that while edited transcripts of the case could be released to the public, hearings regarding classified documents must remain closed. The decision Thursday by U.S. District Judge William Hoeveler was aimed at settling a simmering dispute over secrecy in the case of the former Panamanian leader and government efforts to guard classified information.

It was a partial victory for prosecutors on the one side and defense and media on the other. Noriega sat quietly during the hearing, clad in his four-star general's uniform, and didn't address the court.

Board of County Commissioners Delaware County, Indiana Cordell Campbell Jack Peckinpaugh Ron Bonham ATTEST: KENT RIGGIN Auditor, Delaware County SP31464 would not go home and rest and would not cut back on his private schedule of meetings and staff time. "It's not much," Fitzwater said in terms of Bush's plans to trim his sometimes frenzied schedule. In his Princeton remarks, the president was expected to lash out at a favorite subject, the Democratic-run Congress, Fitzwater said. He will speak about "presidential powers" and efforts by Congress to intrude upon them, Fitzwater said. "He'll talk about the problem of micromanagement of foreign policy by the Congress," Fitzwater said.

The president, like President Reagan before him, has bridled at restrictions the Congress has attempted to place on foreign-policy decisions. The president also will renew the administration's drive for a constitutional amendment to give him authority to veto specific items in spending bills, while. approving the overall legislation.
