"They didn't have a chance to say anything he just shot them," said Sarah Reid, 33. She said Calden was an arm's length away from her when he began firing. "His first shot was to the back of one of the victims head," police Maj.

She said she hid behind the fountain, then decided to run for it, sprinting toward a parking garage where she saw people walking toward the building. "I was running and yelling, vGet out of the way!

That's what you all get for firing me!" Paul Calden reportedly shouted Wednesday before firing 10 blasts from a 9mm handgun.

The five who were shot, all supervisors or executives in the office, were known to have a regular lunch each week at the cafeteria. apparently knew these people would be there and he targeted these people," Cole said. "It was not a matter of him going into the cafeteria and just spraying in every direction." I According to police, Calden walked into the 12-story office building wearing a gray business suit.

AIDS experts trying to come up with a more accurate picture of the epidemic were warned that infected Americans may not trust the government enough to Violence tarnishes Miami MIAMI (AP) The murders of two Canadian tourists since December and the robbery and slaying of a vacationing Venezuelan diplomat this week have reinforced the city's lingering and unwanted "Miami Vice" image.

In Canada, where almost 1 million people head for southern Florida each winter, the headlines were the Florida tourism industry's worst nightmare. "Tourists easy prey in Miami," said a recent headline in the Ottawa Sun. "Tourists sitting ducks for criminals," blared the Toronto Sun. The Toronto Star read: "Robbers target tourists." Police spokesman Patrick Brick-man said Wednesday it's "an understatement" to say the city has gotten many calls recently from tourists, primarily Canadians, worried about crime. He had no figures on the increase in calls.

But so far this year, the city has taken no steps beyond reassuring callers that crime does not seem to be unusually serious this year and that tourists face no greater risk in .1 .1 i ivnaini man me city tuu-time residents. Some visitors said they were not changing their activities, other than to exercise caution. Matt Verbeeten, 74, of Toronto, said he felt well protected in the Miami Beach area, "but outside the Strip, I would be very careful." In 1991, after a rash of smash-and-grab robberies of tourists and the wounding of a British couple, the city raised a reward for information about the shooting and offered safety pamphlets for visitors. Dade County also banned decals that identify rental cars, reasoning the stickers practically say, "Rob me." On Tuesday, Jesus Delgado, a 45-year-old Venezuelan assigned to UNESCO in Paris, was slain by robbers who literally tore his wallet from his pants. He was shot in the head in the city's fashionable Brick-ell Avenue neighborhood.

Four days earlier, Canadian Ralph Passero was shot to death in Sunny Isles, north of Miami Beach, in a robbery attempt. And on Dec. 29, Marc Nadeau, a 33-year-old Air Canada executive from Quebec, was killed by a robber who held him up for his wallet. Last month, a French tourist was shot and seriously wounded in a smash-and-grab assault, in which assailants break car windows and grab objects like purses. A German shot in a smash-and-grab in October was left paralyzed.

al TICKET RICE A A For all of 1992, GDP totaled an inflation-adjusted $4.92 trillion, up 2.1 percent from the previous year. Although moderate at best, that was the best growth since the first year of Bush's presidency, 1989, when the GDP rose 2.5 percent. It had declined 1.2 percent during the recession year of 1991 and grew a scant 0.8 percent in 1990, when the recession started. In the fourth quarter, growth was propelled by a 4.3 percent rise in consumer spending, at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, the best since the first quarter. That included a 12.9 percent rise in spending on durable goods such as automobiles and appliances.

Housing construction soared at a 29. 1 percent annual rale, the best in nine years. Commercial construction, which has been in the doldrums, rose at a 4.5 percent annual rate, the biggest increase since the first quarter of 1990. Businesses' investment in new equipment from conipulers to turbines rose at an 1 1.7 percent annual rate. Government spending, which had risen in the third quarter, fell at a 1.7 percent annual rate in the fourth.

The nation's trade performance also was a slight drag on the economy, with import growth outpacing export growth. Inventories declined as well. Although that detracted from the economy in the fourth quarter, it could be a good sign for the future if factories step up production to replenish shelves and backlots. Meanwhile, an inflation measure 'Your Name Brand Family tied to the GDP rose at a 3.2 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter. Analysts cite two reasons for their worry that growth will lapse during the first six months of this year: first, the economy continues to generate jobs only sluggishly.

Second, many consumers will either receive disappointing tax refunds this spring or even unexpectedly owe money to the IRS. "Consumers borrowed heavily and drew down their savings to finance the consumption that took place in the Christmas season," said economist Mark Zandi of Regional Financial Associates in West Chester, Pa. "As a result, their ability to continue to borrow is significantly reduced. Unless we see some job and income growth over the next couple of months we'll see consumer spending fall off," he said. The news on that front has been dismal recently, with layoffs announced by such major corporations as McDonnell Douglas, United Technologies Corp.

and Sears, Roebuck Co. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, testifying before Congress for the first time in six months, said Wednesday that the country has made progress in correcting some major economic imbalances, but warned, "We are not out of the woods yet." Clinton administration officials have said that on Feb. 17 they will deliver to Congress an economic stimulus plan that probably will include $15 billion to $20 billion in short-term programs to create jobs. Shoe Store" cfHTITI An mm MO IZ gr-i WASHINGTON Consumer spending pushed economic growth to a moderately robust annual rate of 3.8 percent during the final months of the Bush administration, the government said today. The October-December quarter gain in the gross domestic product the sum of all goods and services produced in the United States was the best since 1988, during the last three months of Ronald Reagan's presidency.

It was even stronger than the 3.4 percent rate in the July-September quarter and well above the 3 percent rate economists had predicted in advance. For Bush, the news came too late. He lost the election largely because of voters' dissatisfaction with the economy. Although pleasantly surprised by the October-December increase, analysts are warning the economy may be entering a lull during the early months of the Clinton administration. Much of the burst in consumer spending that came around Christmas was fueled by credit card borrowing.

Job and income growth has not been strong enough to sustain the spending pace, economists said. The nation's unemployment rate in December was 7.3 percent, just a half of a percentage point under the eight-year high of 7.8 percent reached in June.

Carlisle, 17013. if) Do Things 'Ifpeg let it count them by name. "When do they hear the CDC is interested in them? When they want their names," Jeffrey Levi of the AIDS Action Council told the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "They have to feel they're going to get something back in return." The CDC convened a meeting of AIDS experts in suburban Atlanta on Wednesday to help it set guidelines to find out just how many Americans are infected with HIV, the AIDS virus. Its estimate of 1 million is a rough guess.

The CDC is considering whether to advise states to report cases by identifying patients, either by name or special code. Identification would ensure that patients aren't counted twice and would enable doctors to get them appropriate care, the agency said. Genetic flaw boosts tipsiness? NEW YORK Scientists said today they had identified a genetic flaw that may make some rats highly susceptible to getting tipsy from drinking. The mutation appeared in a strain of rats that slide helplessly off a tilted platform if they have been given a small amount of alcohol. Peter Seeburg of the University of Heidelberg, Germany, one author of the report, cautioned in a telephone interview that drawing any implications about humans from the rat findings would be "pure speculation." He and colleagues reported the research in today's issue of the journal Nature.

The mutation affects the chemical makeup of a brain cell structure called a GAB A receptor. Prior work had suggested this structure plays a role in alcohol's effects on rats.
