A$ late as Wednesday afternoon Iraqi
lank crews fought a losing battle the
Suggest since World War II against
America's top armored divisions in the
desert near the Iraqi city of Basra.
Hundreds of tanks of the U.S. 1st and
3rd Armored Divisions and 2nd Armored
Cavalry Regiment clashed with a Republi-
can Guard division in a key showdown in
the U.S.-British push to drive the Iraqi
army's beleaguered remnants into the
Basra corner.
Under the plan Bush announced Iraq
must immediately release all prisoners of
war and the remains of any war victims. It
must inform Kuwaiti authorities of the
nature and location of land and sea mines.
Baghdad must also renounce its Claims to
Kuwait and accept all 12 United Nations
resolutions including Iraq's responsibility
for war reparations

Haruo Matsuoka 32-ycar-oId fourth-degree
black belt in Aikido froni Osaka. Japan
gave ar fkidosemln'arn Mbcxfy Con$cun)'
Monday and Tuesday nights upon the invi-
tation of his. student Tokuyu Uza who has
opened a branch of Steven Segal's Tcnshin
Dojo here in Abilene.
Uza graduate human communication stu-
dent from Okinawa Japan entered wearing
a brown belt signifying his skill giving last-
minute instructions to his students.'
All 16 of the men knelt in a line on a mat
set up on the basketball court for a moment
of meditation as Matsuoka entered and knelt
with them.
The teacher removed himself from the
others preparing for the lesson to come.
As he stood before the students instruct-
ing them in the ways of his ancient art Mat-
suoka's moves were precise and fluid wasfc;
ing no motion or energy ..-
"Aikido involves no punching kicking or
blocking" Matsuoka said "and is designed.
to feel out your opponent's power and turn
it against him "
Matsuoka has been studying Aikido for
17 years; all were under Aikido master and.
sixth-degree black belt Segal. '.
Segal starred in the film "Hard to Kill"
and the recent martial-arts movie "Marked
for Death."
"I think of Steven Segal as my master and
a martial artist Matsuoka said with a grin
"a strict martial artist but a great one."
Matsuoka first met Segal when the actor
was teaching Aikido at his dojo in Osaka
Japan 17 years ago.
"I saw a demonstration of Aikido when J-
was a child and decided to learn" Matsuoka
said. "So when I came upon Master Segal's
dojo I walked right in and have been learn-
ing ever since."
