DIED. James Rowe, 51, Army colonel and chief of the Army
division of the Joint U.S. Military Advisory Group that provides
training and logistical support to the Philippine military; after
at least two gunmen ambushed his car; in Quezon City. Philippine
officials blamed the killing on Communist rebels, who oppose U.S.
bases in the country. A highly decorated Viet Nam veteran, Rowe
spent from 1963 to 1968 in a cage as a prisoner of war. He
recounted that ordeal in his 1971 book, Five Years to Freedom.
