Eric Ishmael Jordan, 23, was captured by two policemen about 30 minutes after he shed a blue jump suit in Holly Park where a 31-year-old woman who was walking her dog was assaulted. The woman's screams roused her husband and neighbors.

The nude suspect ran a few doors east on Park Street, broke into the home of Dacy Harris, killed the helpless 82-year-old amputee with a large knife, and ran out the back door. He then attacked another woman leaving her home several blocks away on Anderson Street, ran down a flight of See back page, col. 1 British ready to invade if U.N. talks fail British deny shooting at survivors set adrift Page A2 Examiner news services British warships shelled Argentine defenses on the Falklands again today as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher convened her emergency "war Cabinet" today, amid growing signs that British troops will invade the islands if U.N. peace efforts collapse.

Early in the day, it had appeared that there was a major breakthrough on the diplomatic front abandonment by the Argentines of the key block to negotiations, their insistence on recognition of their "sovereignty" over the Falklands. "Sovereignty is not a condition nor a precondition," an Argentine government spokesman had said this morning. But then it was learned that the Argentine spokesman had added that sovereignty "is outside of any discussion." "Argentina already has sovereignty," the spokesman said.

Reagan asks N-arms cuts by U.S., Soviets monies at Eureka College from which he was graduated 50 years ago was the kickoff of an arms control campaign that he plans to pursue during a visit to Europe next month.

In setting forth a bargaining position on missiles, the president appeared to be asking greater immediate sacrifices from the Soviet Union in the interest of achieving nuclear stability and in cutting back the arms race. In addition to having bigger missiles, the Soviets have more of them. The United States has more bombers and the Soviets might insist on cutbacks in the number of U.S. bombers and nuclear bombs as part of any comprehensive nuclear agreement Reagan deplored "the nightmarish prospect that a huge mushroom cloud" might destroy the beauty of the Midwest prairie. "My duty as president is to ensure that the ultimate nightmare never occurs, that the prairies and the cities and the people who inhabit them remain free and untouched by nuclear conflict," Reagan said.

President Reagan proposed yesterday that the United States and the Soviet Union seek to avert "the ultimate nightmare" of nuclear war by destroying at least one-third of the 7500 nuclear missile warheads they each possess. Outlining a strategic weapons plan that marks a major new approach to arms control, Reagan also proposed that the two superpowers agree to reductions in the destructive power of their arsenels.

Over the next five days. The Examiner will describe the diverse picture through the eyes of people who are living it. Here Viglienzone, for one. Gilbert Martinez, for another. That the recession has taken an alarming economic toll in both the Bay Area and nation is clear.

Despite rapidly cooling inflation, it continues to toss people out of work, stifle key industries and taunt financial markets. And observers see no quick swing back to brighter times. "I'm sorry to say that there's nothing I can say to reassure you," intones Joseph Wahed, chief economist at Wells Fargo Bank. The slump, caused in large part by an overheated economy in recent years, has even created scattered fears of a 193Qstyle depression. At that time, unemployment swelled SeePage By David Dietz: Examiner business writer First of six parts While joblessness zooms and the housing market withers, Here Viglienzone doesn't seem to have a care.

Although he was forced to sell his car dealership a year ago because of flagging business, the 59-year-old Viglienzone nowadays digs in the garden outside his sweeping Marin home and thinks about opening a restaurant. Meanwhile, he says, he's been content to "fool around a little in real estate." Gabriel Martinez, father of nine, has 25 years of hard work and a net worth of about $500,000 riding on a Central Valley farming operation. But high interest rates, among other financial burdens, shadow him like a cruel storm. Opinion In 1980, Martinez was paid $9 to $11 for a box of cherry tomatoes. The price last year $3.50.

"I'll tell you how we survive," says his son, Phillip. "We do most of the labor ourselves." Agony to some, mere nuisance to others, the economic slump has touched the region in mixed ways. While some businesses reel, others thrive. Some people lose their jobs, THE EXAMINER'S OPINION: That a parole date is being considered for Sirhan Sirhan may be an arguable legal point. Ethically, it is anything but.

Sirhan killed more than a human being when he murdered Sen. Robert Kennedy. He tried to assassinate our political life as well. For that, he should spend the rest of his life behind bars. Editorials, Page B2.

A second look Lone sleuth pursues Stinson 'shipwreck' case Paul Russell, 45, and Robert Dozier, 35, while divers searched the ocean floor near Stinson Beach for remnants of the Freedom II. It was learned from Nevada marriage records that Russell and Dozier were married to the same woman, whom they had reported missing twice under different names Suzanne Russell and Cherie Anne Dozier. Conflicting information about the boat's registration and owner's name indicated the vessel was illegally documented.

Aliases for the men began to multiply as Russell and Dozier dropped from sight. In two weeks, it was learned that they were likely suspects in an insurance fraud scam. With information supplied by the Los Angeles Police Department, Coast Guard and Marin County, investigators discovered that the Freedom D. probably was the same boat reported stolen five months earlier from one of Russell's acquaintances. The acquaintance, a Las Vegas investigator who had once worked for Russell, collected insurance on the "stolen" boat, the Inspiration.
