Jerry Brown last night accused Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton's administration of channeling state business to the Little Rock law firm where Clinton's wife is a partner.

Brown, in a presidential debate, cited a Washington Post report and contended that Clinton and his wife, Hillary, were involved in a conflict of interest and a "scandal of major proportions" that even included polluting an Arkansas River. Clinton, seething with indignation, jabbed his finger to within inches of Brown, calling Brown's charges a "lying accusation;" Clinton said his administration had never funneled any money to the law firm. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself for jumping on my wife," an angry Clinton retorted. "You're not worthy of being on the same platform with her." i Clinton, in turn, accused Brown of being willing to say anything to win votes. And he charged that Brown, though he is refusing to accept -contributions of more than $100, fought a California measure in 1990 that would have restricted po-?

FLINT, Mich. Jerry Brown wore the union jacket and his ubiquitous turtleneck jersey rather than the 18th-century tricorner hat, but he delivered the 1776 message: Seize the government, down with the king. In his latest incarnation as the people's revolutionary, the former governor of California is being carried forward here in Michigan, which holds its presidential primary tomorrow, by angry and anxious trade unionists who have seen their way of life shatter. This 53-year-old career politician has been reincarnated as an enemy of the status quo, an instrument of the disenfranchised and disillusioned, a champion to take back power from the monied interests that BROWN, Page 8 J) FSo greet gays in mtk Bdpstom parade Military technology is going commercial About the same time, Joseph Second of three parts Callerame, the assistant general By Paul Hemp GLOBE STAFF manager of Raytheon's research di A -f vision in Lexington, was out in Iowa, talking to people at the company's Guns to butter.

Home-makers were scratching the glass By Don Aucoin and Andy Dabilis GLOBE STAFF As obscenities, insults and threats rained down on them from all sides, 25 marchers yesterday became the first openly gay contingent ever to take part in the St. Patrick's Day parade in South Boston. The marchers, who had won a court order allowing them to take part in the parade, walked a 5-mile gantJet-of hostility that sometimes threatened to erupt into wide-scale violence. Supporters of the gay marchers were scattered along the route, but they were largely drowned out in a din of detractors.

In a sense, there were two parades yesterday: A largely festive and peaceful one for 120 groups ranging from marching bands to smiling politicians, and another for the 25 members of the Irish-American Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Pride Committee who were occasionally cheered, but who otherwise had to endure a near-relentless storm of abuse. "It was exhilarating and scary at the same time," Barbra Kay, chairwoman of the gay group, said in an interview after the parade. "I was really proud to be there.

Rock radio goes raunchy By Lauren Robinson GLOBE STAFF He was only 27 and just caressing life's bounty, a successful job, a steady girlfriend, a good family and friends, when a bullet that was probably intended for another ripped through Thomas Waugh's chest Saturday night and robbed him of his dreams. Waugh, an electrical engineer and 1987 Stanford University graduate, died at 12:37 a.m.

yesterday at Massachusetts General Hospital. Waugh, on a business trip from California, had -just had dinner with two co-workers and was standing with them on the Green Line platform at Government Center shortly after 9 p.m. when two shots rang out. MBTA Police Chief John R. O'Donovan said yesterday police arrested a 16-year-old male from Dorchester who will be arraigned in Boston juvenile court today on a murder charge.

MBTA spokesman Peter Dimond said there were few new 'details regarding the shooting, which he called "tragic." "It reflects the overall violence in society and it shows what can happen when guns get into the hands of children," Dimond said. Early police reports indicated there had been some sort of argument between two groups of Rooting, Page 7 By Ellen Bartlett SPECIAL TO THE GLOBE ORANIA, South Africa There is a place in the flat, dry expanse of the Great Karoo desert wherethe referendum fever that burns in the rest of South Africa is almost an irrelevance. "Welcome to Crania," says the sign at the entrance. "Strictly private," says a sign next to it. It is barely a town, an Isolated clutch of prefab houses in the sparse, hot reaches of the northern Cape Province.

But Orania is seen by its 360 residents as the seed of the future republic of Orania, an independent Afrikaner nation that, if all goes according to plan, would occupy the western third of South Africa. Faced with a future in a South Africa of equal rights and opportunities for all, of blacks living next door, attending their schools and churches, going to the same dentist so the idea goes -white people by the millions will opt for Orania, their own white homeland.
