ATLANTA (API: State fights to keep taxing pensions.
ate attorneys asked the Georgia Supreme Court on Monday to stay
wer court’s order requiring special handling of income tax
lections from federal pensioners while the retirees challenge the
egal The motion, filed late Monday, argued that the order
ireatens to totally disrupt the state’s handling of individual income
x returns and estimated tax payments during the height of the
•ne tax filing and processing season ." It said the order should be
uyed until the full case can be presented to the high court on appeal.
Meanwhile, talk continued at the Capitol that Gov. Joe Frank Harris
would be forced to call the Legislature into special session to rewrite
UC law because of a U S. Supreme Court ruling that states
>nnot tax federal pensions if they exempt state and local government
■isions. The tax source is worth $40 million to $55 million to the
state annually.
ATLANTA (AP): Protesters disrupt waste meeting.

srespectful.” He left the Capitol meeting room, followed by most
u r members of the authority, and he did not announce a time for
-uming the session. The governor’s attempt to start the meeting 45

harge that the hazardous waste facility was unwanted, unneeded
and potentially dangerous.

NEW YORK (AP): Poll shows support for abortion.
Though a sizable minority of adults oppose abortions, Americans
verwhelmingly believe that banning them would do little to curtail
them, a Media General-Associated Press survey has found. With the
l .S Supreme Court poised to reconsider the issue next week, the
national poll found support for legal abortion rnnging from 50 percent
to 65 percent of the 1,108 adults polled, depending on the question
posed. Large majorities said outlawing abortion would fail to prevent
it from occurring — an argument used by those who argue many
women would have unsafe illegal abortions if the operation were
banned The survey found its closest split on the question of a
■ nstitutional amendment to make abortions illegal except in cases of
rape, incest or to 9ave the life of the mother: Fifty percent were
opposed and 44 percent in favor, a division within the poll’s margin of
error. No amendment with those provisions is before Congress, but
they are the terms President Busn has said he would support.
■ WORLD
WIESBADEN, West Germany (AP): Bomb explodes. A
bomb similar to the one that destroyed Pan Am Flight 103 exploded
while being examined Monday, killing an investigator in a case
involving Palestinians suspected of terrorism. The federal
prosecutor’s office reported evidence contradicting U.S. media reports
that a Lebanese American passenger inadvertently carried the bomb
onto the jet that exploded over Scotland on Dec. 21 All 259 people on
the plane and 11 on the ground were killed. Another officer was
critically wounded in the explosion Monday at federal police
headquarters, said spokesman Arno Falk of Bundeskriminalamt, the
police bureau. It was not clear whether the bomb was seized in
mnection with the Pan Am investigation, but the manner in which it
whs d.sguised was said to be similar Asked how police obtained the
radio-bomb that exploded on Monday, Falk replied: This is in
connection with our previous investigation, but we cannot say more
than that .” His reference was to raids in October on hangouts of
alleged Palestinian terrorists in Frankfurt and Neuss, a Duesaeldorf
suburb, in which weapons and explosives were seized.

Athens parking deck possible by ’90
By ELIZABETH QRADDY
Staff Writer*
The proposed downtown parking deck prob
ably will be completed by June 1990, Richard
Bolin, city chief administrative officer, said
Monday.
“But you never can tell what kind of delays
well face,” he said.
According to tentative plans, the deck will
have eight levels —six above ground, two below
— and will accommodate 375-400 cars, Bolin
said
A definite design for the deck won’t be fi
nalized until architects are brought into the
project, he said.
The deck is planned for 235 College Ave.,
former site of the Palace Theater.
The hourly rate will be about 50 cents, to
taling six dollars per day, he said. The monthly
rate will be $55.
The parking complex also will have 4,500
square feet of office space for the city’s use, he
said.
Originally, that space was intended to be re
tail rental space.
“But then the city council decided we weren’t
in the rental business," he said.
Mayor Dwain Chambers said the city sent re
quests for bids to architectural firms April 7,
and the deadline for a response is April 28.
The architectural firm for the project will be
chosen in mid May by a small review panel,
Chambers said.
The review panel, appointed by Chambers,
will include city council members, city staff and
a cross-section of the downtown business com
munity, he said.
The deck is planned for 235
College Ave., former site of the
Palace Theater.
Bolin said, architects probably will need
three months to design the complex, then a con
struction company will be chosen, Bolin said
Construction will begin in October, he said
The parking deck will cost $4,250,000 and
will pay for itself, Bolin said.
An institution, probably a bank, will buy the
bonds from the city, be said. That institution
will either market them or hold them as an in
vestment. The institution will be paid back
through revenues from parking fees.
Chicago group tired of baby boomers’ nostalgia
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Does ‘The Big
Chill" leave you cold? Tired of
hearing “oldies” older than you on
TV commercials? Three exasper
ated young upstarts say, “Right
on!"
The reminder that the calendar
says 1989 comes from the National
Association for the Advancement of
Time — three guys in their 20s who
say “We want to end the ’60s in
your lifetime."
“Let’s make nostalgia a thing of
the past!” say these fellows who’ve
had enough of the baby boom —
that huge post-World War II gener
ation whose sheer bulk spurred
creation of the retail market for
teen-agers, divided the nation over
Vietnam and now is taking up
space discovering adulthood —
marriage, careers and babies des
tined to grow up hearing stories
about Woodstock.
Anti-nostalgia crusader Eugene
Dillenburg dismisses baby
boomers as “50 million teenagers
who never grew up."
But they won’t go away.
There’s so manv of them. If they
want to live in their past, that’s
fine — but they’re forcing ME to
live in their past,” gripes Dillen-

burg, 29, of Chicago. He founded
NAFTAT with friends Bruce El
liott of Los Angeles and John
Keeney of New York City.
NAFTAT is part of a natural
anti-boomer backlash, according to
Northwestern University socio
logist Bernard Beck, who says any
cultural statement that lasts too
long “seems to generate resent
ment.”
By failing to step aside “the way
it’s supposed to," the baby-boom
generation has “thrown out of
kilter the ordinary succession of
generations," Beck said.
When Dillenburg and Elliott got
together in 1987 and discovered
their mutual exasperation with
“oldies” radio, they decided it was
time to get the Monkees off their
backs.
Preserve what is worth remem
bering from the ’60s — the Beatles,
Bob Dylan and the civil rights
movement, for example — and
scrap the rest, Dillenburg sug
gests.
NAFTATs feelings about the
baby boomers are not altogether
different from the reaction the
post-war generation got from their
“silent majority” elders 20 years
ago, Beck said.
‘They (baby-boomers) are end
lessly fascinated with their own
lives," he said, and their vast num
bers make every setback “central
• cultural business.”
The message baby-boomers send
to others, Dillenburg said, is: “You
missed the ’60s — your life is
meaningless. Your life is irrelevant
because it came after mine."
