Bhutto has lectured the long-captive Pakistani press against blaming the country's problems on other nations. Hosting a buffet luncheon for foreign correspondents on the lawn of his family home at Larkana, where he had gone to celebrate his 44th birthday, Bhutto promised to make an announcement soon about "the first phase of our movement toward democracy," adding: "Believe me, I mean it.
