Sunday, October 30, 1983 PRS? 17A iPeople Obituaries William Colby, who directed the CIA under two presidents, says he's "an old cold warrior" now committed to a nuclear freeze. Nuclear weapons are "unusable," the arms race is "unwinnable," unilateral restraint is "unworkable" and a world shadowed by the nuclear threat is "unlivable," Colby said at the University of Virginia on Friday night. People have become frustrated because of the failure of the SALT II discussions, Colby said. "Can't we come up with a simpler statement? Yes, let's just stop building new weapons." Colby said a nuclear freeze would be easier to monitor than a more-detailed arms limitation agreement. "We're interested not in a breach of contract suit, but in protecting our country and our future," he said.

Dolly's views on co-stars Entertainer Dolly Parton says actors Burt Reynolds and Sylvester Stallone are a lot different. "Burt is a laid back, good-ol'-boy type," the singer-actress said about her co-star in the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." "Sly is almost the opposite," she said. "He's a gutsy guy with a lot of drive. Sly is a high-energy person, a ball of fire when it comes to work. He never wants to stop; (he's) always interested in what is going on." Stallone and Parton are filming the movie "Rhinestone" in the Nashville, area.

Mark Hatfield laid to rest rumors of his retirement by telling 500 cheering supporters that he will seek a fourth term next year. The announcement Friday had been eagerly awaited by Republicans, who were worried that Hatfield might retire and give Democrats a chance to win another seat in the Republican-controlled Senate. "Over the past year, I have struggled with the question of whether I should seek re-election," said Hatfield, 61.

"Remember that my occupation is one which involves tremendous egos in which too often there is an automatic presumption of running for re-election, in perpetuity." But Hatfield said he decided to run because he's gotten a "great deal of satisfaction" from serving there. Speculation that Hatfield might retire from the Senate had been prompted in part by reports that he had expressed interest in heading a national foundation or accepting a university presidency.
