The Boston Globe from Boston, Massachusetts • 62

THE BOSTON GLOBE SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1987 OBITUARIES OTHER OBITUARIES I Page: 32 Robert J. Anglin, 53; an editor and veteran reporter at the Globe By Charles E. Claffey Globe Staff Robert J. Anglin, a Boston Globe newsman who covered a range of local and national stories during a 25-year career, died yesterday in Massachusetts General Hospital after a five-month illness. He was 53.

Anglin, who prided himself on his versatility, remarked once as a neophyte reporter that he aspired to become one of the best general assignment reporters in the business. He frequently volunteered for the most challenging assignments, quickly earning a reputation for accuracy, perceptiveness and unflappability under deadline pressure. The stories he covered included NASA space program launchings: trials, including that of the selfcharacterized Boston strangler, Albert DeSalvo; airplane crashes; the 1965 Selma, civil rights march: the visit to Canada of French President Charles de Gaulle in 1967: anti-Vietnam War peace marches in Washington and New York, and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis in 1968.

Anglin was not given to abstract theorizing about his trade, but he once said of the inevitable tensions that exist between editors and reporters and between government and the press: "Show me a reporter with a respect for authority and I'll show you a lousy For the past 10 years, he had served as an assigning editor on the city desk. He brought to that job knowledge of the metropolitan area's geography, politics and demographics as well as demanding standards of accuracy, and an impressive command of the rules of English grammar. Broad-shouldered and stockily built, Anglin rarely smiled; he could not be described as an easy read. His manner was gruff, and his wit was mordant. He was a devotee of comedian Jackie Gleason, frequently addressing friends and acquaintances with the Gleason phrase, "Look, pal." Anglin's reputation for coolness under pressure was enhanced in March 1970 when, lying in traction in a surgical ward at Boston City Hospital with serious injuries sustained in an auto accident, he found himself in the middle of a news story the fatal shooting of a prisoner-patient by a police officer with bullets whizzing around him.

The next day's Globe carried his first-person account of the shooting. Anglin's writing style was taut and economical, and sometimes moving. In May 1964, assigned to write a "scene" piece on one of the city's worst fires, a multiple-alarm blaze that destroyed a neighborhood in the Bellflower Street section of TEL WILLIAM J.

The first attack took 19 lives. The casualties were the heaviest suffered by the military since insurgents increased their activity after peace talks collapsed in January and a 60-day cease-fire expired on Feb.

8. Army spokesmen said two soldiers were wounded and survived the ambush Thursday on the southern island of Mindanao. Seven troopers were wounded in the first ambush, which occurred Tuesday in Quezon province 100 miles southeast of Manila. Also yesterday, President Corazon C. Aquino's press secretary said she was irritated by criticism of her government's antiguerrilla tactics by Richard L.

Armitage, US assistant defense secretary. He said in Washington on Tuesday that Philippine officials had become complacent because of her popularity. Press secretary Teodoro Benigno said Aquino expressed her sentiments during a meeting yesterday with 19 middle-level military officers who "deeply resented" Armitage's statements. "They were one in saying that Armitage has no business telling us what to do." Benigno said Aquino was "obviously peeved." Nunn questions latest SDI argument United Press International WASHINGTON Sen. Sam Nunn said yesterday that the statement of a Soviet general that President Reagan cited as support for a broad reading of the 1972 ABM treaty "has no bearing" on the treaty's interpretation.

a Georgia Democrat and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, defended his conclusion that the pact restricts work on Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative the "star wars" antimissile research program to the narrow interpretation but reiterated that he is willing to listen to administration arguments. Two years ago, Reagan announced that the administration had concluded that a broader reading of the treaty was the "legally correct However, Reagan held back on SDI research because further development might involve technologies that would raise the program to the level disputed by Nunn and others on Capitol Hill. "I'm very confident of what I've done based on what I've seen," said Nunn, who studied the Senate's ratification of the 1972 treaty, the negotiating record and the behavior of the superpowers since ratification. Nunn said he had seen the Soviet statement the president referred to and it had "no bearing on the traditional or the broad" interpretation, Nunn said.

Beirut militiamen free Saudi captive ROBERT J. ANGLIN Dorchester, Anglin described the aftermath: "Saturday on Bellflower st. a bulldozer roared, smashing, smashing through a maze of brick foundations, all that was left of a row of three-family dwellings. "And on Dorset st. the giant maw of a demolition crane knocked huge timbers to the ground where they had fallen across the burnt-orange husk of an automobile.

"There was: blacks and gray in the sunlight, like a chiaroscuro by some maddened artist. "Television antennas drooping, melted by the blast-furnace heat of homes burning almost a hundred yards "A doll, skewered on a telephone pole spike high above the street. "In a tiny front lawn some outdoors chairs and a table, undisturbed and waiting in the mid-day heat for a couple of long, cool drinks. But there was no one to place them there." In the early and mid-1970s, during the heyday of consumer advocate Ralph Nader, Anglin concentrated on consumer-related news issues and wrote a weekly column called "Consumer Corner. As a city editor, Anglin directed the Globe's award-winning coverage of the New England blizzard of February 1978 under less-thanoptimum circumstances: Most of the staff was immobilized in their homes.

In the late 1970s, when the nation was reeling from the effects of inflation, he supervised a Globe series describing how Massachusetts consumers were coping with the problem. His outside activities included reading, fishing and an absorbing interest in food, both as a gourmet cook and as a diner. Born in Dorchester, he had lived in Cambridge for the past 15 years. He was a 1951 graduate of Dorchester High School and worked at the Boston Public Library before joining the Army, serving most of his two-year hitch in Germany. After his discharge, he enrolled at Northeastern University and worked in the Boston Globe newsroom as an editorial assistant while in college.

At Northeastern, he was an honor student and editor in chief of the student newspaper. He was promoted to the Globe reporting staff shortly after his graduation in 1962. He leaves his mother, Rose Anglin, of Dorchester: three daughters, Barbara, Rosemary and Laura Anglin of Marshfield; a twin brother, Richard Anglin, of St. Petersburg, a sister, Joan M. Sullivan of Dorchester; and his friend and companion, Annette C.

Philip Rhinelander Was education head at Harvard United Press International STANFORD, Calif. Philip Rhinelander, former head of general education at Harvard and dean of the Stanford School of Humanities, died yesterday of cancer at the age of 79. Mr. Rhinelander, once a student of famed philosopher-mathematician Alfred North Whitehead, came to Stanford as dean in 1956 from Harvard, where he was chairman of the Committee on General Education and director of general education. He was known to thousands of students at Harvard and Stanford for his course on "Problems of Good and Evil." Mr.

Associated Press BEIRUT A Saudi Arabian hostage was handed over by his kidnappers to Syrian forces in West Beirut yesterday, the second such release this week. "They kept me blindfolded all the time, but not handcuffed," said Khaled Deeb. 23, who was freed after 54 days in captivity.

"I was not Deeb's release came two days after Bakr Damanhouri, a Saudi employee of his embassy's cultural section, was freed. He had spent 66 days in captivity. Damanhouri was the first foreign hostage to be freed since 7,500 Syrian soldiers and 100 tanks deployed in West Beirut on Feb. 22 to quell a week of intermilitia combat that killed 300 persons and wounded 1,300. Deeb's release left 24 foreigners, including eight Americans, missing and believed held hostage in Lebanon.

Most of the hostages are believed held by radical Shiite Moslem organizations. yesterday, PLO chairman Yasser Arafat promised to help free the American hostages, but said he did not know who held them, Reuters reported. said in an ABC television interview from his Tunis headquarters that he had been successful in winning the release of some Cypriot students and Soviet citizens, and he pledged "I will do my best for the the Palestine Liberation Organization leader said he had no precise information about the Americans and did not know which fundamentalist factions were holding them. Asked about Anglican Church negotiator Terry Waite, who disappeared in West Beirut two months ago, Arafat said, "I can't give you any Abdallah Amin, an official of the Syrian-backed Baath Party in Lebanon, said, "We thank the Syrian Arab command, which at direct instructions from President Hafez Assad, exerted efforts that resulted in the release of Saudi citizen Khaled Deeb." Amin said Justice Minister Nabih Berri's mainstream Shiite Amal militia also played a role in Deeb's release. sources said part of the deal enabling Deeb's release was the payment by his family of a ransom of about $4,000, Reuters reported.

This information could not be confirmed with Israeli warplanes hit abandoned base Associated Press SIDON, Lebanon Israeli warplanes attacked an abandoned Palestinian base on the fringe of a refugee camp outside this southern port yesterday, police said. No casualties were reported in the seventh Israeli air raid inside Lebanon this year. Police said the abandoned base and a nearby bridge were destroyed. Police said three jets fired 12 rockets at a building in the Ein elHilweh refugee camp. Police and Fatah spokesmen in Sidon, 25 miles south of Beirut, said Fatah abandoned the base three months ago.

Durenberger reportedly said CIA used Israeli spy John M. Goshko and Bob Woodward Washington Post WASHINGTON The former chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, David F. Durenberger, told an American Jewish audience that the CIA set the stage in 1982 for the Jonathan Jay Pollard espionage scandal by using an Israeli army officer to spy against Israel, according to several individuals who heard the allegation. During two meetings last Sunday in Palm Beach, Durenberger said that then -CIA Director William J. Casey "changed the rules of the game" by authorizing a spy operation against Israel following its 1982 invasion of Lebanon, according to sources present.

The first report of Durenberger's charge was published yesterday by The Jerusalem Post in an article by its Washington correspondent. Wolf Blitzer. In Washington, two sources said an Israeli military officer who was unhappy with the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 volunteered to provide limited, classified information to the US government. Under a secret agreement between the United States and Israel, both governments had pledged not to recruit spies in each others' country, but have acknowledged that it would be unrealistic to prohibit unsolicited "walk-ins" who offer potentially sensitive intelligence information, the two sources said. Durenberger, a Minnesota Republican, issued a statement yesterday that did not deny Blitzer's report but said his intention had been only to relay "public speculation that the United States may have had intelligence sources within the Israeli The senator's statement added that he was not trying to justify Israel's 1984 recruitment of Pollard, an American who was recently sentenced to life in prison by a US court for espionage.

In Israel, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin denied the allegations in The Jerusalem Post. Durenberger, in his statement, said only, "I will not comment on the specifics of US intelligence operations overseas." CIA officials also refused to comment. However, two participants in the Palm Beach sessions with Durenberger, while declining to be identified, gave The Washington Post accounts of his remarks that were almost identical to remarks in Blitzer's article. In addition, another source, who was not in Palm Beach but who has extensive knowledge of US intelligence operations, substantiated the main points of the story. Durenberger stressed two or three times that nothing done by the United States justified Israel's recruitment of Pollard, according to the two participants.

But, he reportedly said, Israel's actions were partially explainable by its feeling that the United States had changed the tacit mutual understanding that the two countries would not spy on each other. "This is not a one-way street," one source who took notes quoted Durenberger as saying. The sources said Durenberger added that he and Rep. Lee H. Hamilton former chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, had been "stiffed" by Casey when they tried to learn details of what the United States was up to.

According to a source in Washington, the Israeli agent gave the United States classified material that the source described "as not dramatic but useful" in a relationship that lasted until 1984. Tutu to hold talks in Zambia with ANC leaders From Wire Services JOHANNESBURG Archbishop Desmond Tutu will hold his first official talks with leaders of the outlawed African National Congress guerrilla movement today "by mutual request," his office announced yesterday. It said the black leader of the Anglican church in southern Africa, who won the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his antiapartheid activities, would fly to Lusaka, Zambia, for the day of talks. Those talks would be held on the 27th anniversary of the Sharpeville riots, in whieh 69 persons died in protests of pass laws, and on. the second anniversary of the deaths of more than 20 persons in Langa township in eastern Cape province.

The Langa deaths came in a commemoration of the Sharpeville riots, which have been marked by protests almost every year. Early yesterday, the United Democratic Front and the Azanian People's Organization, South Africa's two largest dissident groups, scheduled rallies around the country for today and urged blacks and whites to mark the anniversary with prayer. According to the South African Press Association, police banned any gathering over the weekend in Cape province. The ban will remain in force until Tuesday, the agency said. Efforts to confirm the report were not immediately successful.

Discussing Tutu's plans, a spokesman for the ANC said the organization's president, Oliver Tambo, would be in Lusaka today but there was no confirmation of which officials Tutu would meet. Tom Sebina, the ANC spokesman, said delegates of the Socialist International were in Lusaka and Tambo might meet with them. He also said several other top ANC officials were out of the city. Matt Esau, Tutu's personal assistant, said in a statement released in Cape Town that the archbishop would meet the ANC executive committee. 'Although Archbishop Tutu has met individually with members of the ANC hierarchy on various occasions, this will be the first time that he will meet with them officially," the statement said.

Tutu has said often that he supports the ANC goal of a nonracial South Africa incorporating elements of socialism, but he disagrees with its violent methods. He also has said he is not a pacifist and can envisage a time when blacks belieye only violence will end the apartheid system of separation..
