FORMER NATO CHIEF MANFRED WOERNER DIES

NATO Secretary-General Manfred Woerner, who steered the alliance through the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and helped reshape its mission for the post-Cold War world, died Saturday of cancer. He was 59.

Woerner, who became secretary-general in 1988, had suffered from colon cancer for more than two years and took the summer off to recover from a series of operations, promising to return to his post in September.
