"Bom AoMrica.'Vtuioir March of Dimea national teWviaion evmt,
will ate over the waikrtjof June 2&-29, kicking off the nation'aweekkmg celebration of the St^^ of Liberty Centennial and the rekindling of Liberty's torch.
1\e focus of tbs television si^sial is to support the prevention of
liirth defecta, America's number one chiU's health problem.
Hie television special airs kxsally on KWU Channel 6. Othsr March
of Dimes ftind-raiaing eventa are planned for the metropolitan area.
Orgiaating live from Loe Angelea, tbe 21-faour national telecast will
feature many top celebrities and entertainers in a tribute to the original
13 sti^ and thdr enduring contributions to all of America. MTithin
that fnanewcak,''Boni America* will expkire nearly 60 years of achievement by the Mardi of Dimea.

Ann Mobley and Sarah PuroelL Tlie show win be canned oo 112 tdeviaoQ
stations across the oountzy, and will devote time during the broadoaat
to enable kcal stationB to i»ramote community partic^Nttion.
"HuQUghout its history, America has been the embodiment of
volunteerism and community support," said W. R. RuaseU, executive
vice president of the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation.
The taak before ua is great, but I am confident that 'Bom America'
will effectively project the March of Dimes as a moving force in the
realization of perhapa the most important American dream, the healthy
birth of every American baby.
" 'Bom America' salutes those who have supported the prevention
of birth defecta over the years, and is an encouragement for others
to become involved," Russell added.
Hie March of Dimes, organized in 1938, is the only voluntary
health organiiation to have conquered the disease it was formed to
combat. Since its victory over epidemic polio in 1965, the organiiation has supported research and medical servicea for the prevention
of birth defects including the development of centers for birth defects
diagnosis and treatment.
During the last 20 years, the March of Dimes has bsen invdved
with every major advance in genetic reeearch. It has supported the
expansion of genetic counseling centers and regionalized health care
(or pregnant women and the critically ill newborn. It has also bem
responsible for expanded programs of public and professional education and programs to reduce the incidence of premature delivery.
For the fourth straight year the executive director-producer of
"Bom America" is Emmy Award-winner Larry Einhom. Also returning are musical director Joe Guercio and art director Bob Keene.

'A Mklsummer Night's Dream" is a play about magic. It is the lightest
and in many respecto the most purely playful of Shakeapeare'a playa,
and preaente possibly for the first time Shakespeare's conviction that
the workl of the aenaes in which we live ia but the surface of an unseen
world by which the actiona of men are affected.
"nut aummer's production ia directed by Libby Appel, Dean and
artistic director of the Theatre School at California Institute for the
Arte. She is remembered st the Utah Shakespearean Festival for her
critically acclaimed production of Troilus and Cressida" in 1984.
"Julius Caeaar" haa been continuoualy popular since it was written.
A long-time festival favorite, 1986 will mark the third production
of the play in Odar City. "Julius Caesar" retains the broad outlines
of Roman history and ahows us Caesar as a colossus, even though
he appears in only a few acenes.
Main concern of the play ia with the nature of those who assassinate
Csesar, and with the avenging destiny which follows and. destroys
the aaaaaeins.
Michael Addison, Professor of Drama at the University of Calif.,
San Diego, ia directing the Festival's 1986 production. Addison was
the first guest director to ever mount a festival productiiMi; early
festival friends will remember his staging of "Othello" in 1963. He
also played Caeaar in "Antony and Cleopatra" the same year.
"Love's Labour's Lost" is a comedy with a message. It is Hlled with
verbal extravagances, puns an^ oonceite and profuse use of riiyme.
Wit and wisecracking dehght us as young men decide to forego tbe
ssaociation of women and devote their time to studies and learning.
When beautiful young ladies enter the scene, resnlte are hilarioos
if predictable, and by play's end the cokl light of reality brings maturity to the frivolous young people.
Ssnford Robbins, chairman (^the Department of Theatre and Dance
at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, will oversee the festival's
25th anniversay production. Robbins served as casting director for
the 1985 Utah Shakespearean Festival, and is previoualy remembered
for his successful Festival production of the The Taming of the Shrew"
in 1984.
Daytime activities are scheduled throughout tbe production season.
Backstage tours, a literary seminar that may be taken for college credit,
and various production seminars featuring costumes, actor*, diiectMS,
and various technical and production areas sre svailable during the week.
A continuing art exhibit will be on display in the Bndthwaite Gdlierj.
Theae daytime activities are all scheduled to pormit and encourage flexibility, allowing patnms to enjoy the Southern Utah scenery in sdditinti
to participating in a wide variety of festival activities.
Repertory scheduling of all festival performances allows patrons to
attend three plays in two days as well as iHY>viding time to participate
in many of tbe daytime activities.
The Utah Shakespearean Festival is kicated on the campus of Southern

The land of rabbit hutches
Boulder Beach amphitheater
July evening programs listed
By Koreo Klnosito
"Not a single person invited me to his home during the month I
was in Japan," was the bitter complaint of my late acquaintance,
Klaus Behmdt.
He made the remark in October 1970, while we were attending a
professional meeting of physiciste in France. Klaus, an American of
German descent, had visited my office several times during his stey
in Japan three years earlier.
We had been discussing the future of a new international commi^
tc, but when the conversation turned to other matters, Klaus made
some very frank remarks about Japan.
"I was amazed at the inadequate equipment you people put up with
in your physics laboratories. That professor from Tohoku University
showed me the equipment he used to conduct his famous experiment.
It was all handmade! I was flabbergasted.
"At least your university and the Tokyo Institute of Technology
have new electron microecopes, though you don't seem to have much
else. I'd like to know just what the Japaneae government is doing
with ite money. Why don't the studente complain?"
Westerners conaidcu- having guests to their own homes the moet intimate form of hoepitahty. Pleasant conversation over dinner with the
whole family is the sociable thing to do. It is very common to serve
a homeetyle meal with periiaps acme wine to show it is a apedal occaaioa
This is a far cry from a Japanese host's notion of the mores of entertaining gueste. The Japanese believe that hospitality is taking the
guest to a fancy restaurant, or, if entertaining at home, preparing
as elaborate a meal as possible.
.. Westerners think that having their guests relax, feel "at home,"
is the touchstone of hospitality. Most families have spare guest rooms,
and even those who don't will often put up visitors in their children's
bedrooms for a night or two.
I have to admit that I was aware of these customs st the time Klaus
first visited Japan. I used to go to the United States or Europe at least
dnce or twice a year to attend international physics conferences and
was often mvited to the homes of Western friends. In fact, I was on
very close terms with many of their family members, as well.
Naturally, I would have liked to reciprocate their kindness, but my
housing situation precluded that. It was difficult to have gueste over
for diimer in our cramped apartment with ite three amall rooma and
a kitehenette.
Our family of four included a college-student son and a teenage
daughter. I'm sure that the other Japanese scholars whom Kkus met
were in similar straite; they wanted to invite him to their homes, but
were embarrassed at their humble abodes.
-,^.
•Klaua seemed to understand our dilemma, for my diary notation
ia that he concluded the conversation frith, "After all, Japaneae are
paid such low salaries."
Things are very different now. Jspanese salaries are among the
highest in the world. And the university physics labs that Klaus so
scathingly critidsed, though not yet on a par with the facilities in
tbe United States or Europe, have greatiy improved and are fast
reaching workl<«lass level.
Many Western sdentiste in high-energy physics are doing research
at labs in Japan that boast state-of-the-ari equipment. Thia waa in*
ouiceivable 16 years ago.
Japan today ia said to be the richest nation in the workl. This may
well be true of corporate liquid and fixed asseta.
VfbUe some sectors have obeoleto planta and equipment, on the whole
Japaneae industry compares quite favorably with other countries.
In individual liquid aaseto as well, Japanese are perhaps the
weslthieat. My underatanding of liquid assste is that they include not
just futh and aavinga but also clothing and such househokl items as
electrical appliances and videocaasetto recorders,
Weatemen have recentiy noted that Japanese are among the bsetp
dressed people in the world. Indeed, Uie baggy panta heU up by a
repe-like belt, our uniform in the postwar period, have vanished. And
ia epiavean delighta, quality and variety of foods, Japan has no rival.
Iliis affhience and pn^Mrity underiies puhik order. Japan and China
ate perhaps Uie only two countiies whoe people can walk around
at night without fear of being mugged.
Everyone knows that New York and Los Angeles are crime-ridden,
but I was very suprised in Psris a couple of yean ago when a friend
secorted me to my hotel because be was worried about me walking
alooe at night.
Affluence does not extend to the fixed asseta of individual Japaneae,
however. Although it is tirue that the aiie of our dwaUioga baa inoaasad in the last 16 years, we still have far leaa Uvtog specs than
the average Amsrican.
Lake Mead National Recreeticm area superintendent Jerry D. Wagers
announced recentiy that evening programs wiU be presented in July
at the Boulder Beach Amphitheater and the Temple Bar Campground.
The programs, which begin at 8:30 pjn. and last approximately
46 minutes, are on a variety of topics of intorest to Lake Msad visitors.
The amphitheater is located in the Boulder Beach campground off
Lakeehore Road.
Ihe Temple Bar program will be held at the amphitheater in the
Temple Bar Campground.

llus STOunta for the appellation "rabbit hutches" to describe where
Jspaneae live. If Klaus were to visit today. Fm sure many scioitiata
could invite him home for dinner, but moet are still unable to put
him up for the night.
Some people think that scarcity of land and population density force
the Japanese to live in these concrete coops. The govemmente's failure
to establish s land-use policy is directiy responsible for the outrageous
price of land here.
But personally, I don't believe that a shortage of land ia the primary
reaaon why more spacious dwellings are not built. Japan is preeminent in construction technology for high-rise, earthquake-proof
buildings. We could build skyward. Then are two fundamental reasons
why, deepite the know-how, we lack decent housing.
First, Japan did not have an extensive colonial empire. Compared
to Europe, our hands are very clean. We were a late atarter in
modernization and did not accumulate much wealth, call it stock or
capital, by exploiting foreign territories.
Belgium and the Netherlanda are small countries but the legacy
of their colonies in Africa and Southeast Asia speaks for itself in the
large comfortable homes.
The huge manaions surrounded by rolling lawns are also relics of
the great fortunes made overseas. Europe still lives well on the wealth
amassed abroad over several centuries.
Second. Japanese housing is poor because the country has only been
rich a few years. (Corporations plow profits back into productive equipment; individuals save money for contingencies and and age or spend
it on leisure activities. The cmsumer's buying power is impressive,
but he has not yet acquired fixed assets.
Since Japan has very httle accumulated wealth, it will be many m<He
years, several decades probably, before we can mjoy comfortable housing.
Although Japanese are accused of being workaholics and piling up
huge trade surpluses, our prosperity is rice-paper thin.
I am afraid that visitors like Klaus will continue to lament our lack
of hospitality. We rabbit-hutoh dwellers bemoan it too. As would-be
hoeta, our regret is we don't have enough space to ask friends to spend
the night.
Actually, I must confess that in 1973 I built a house with extra
bedrooms so friends could stay with us, and we have had numerous
visitors over the years.
A Hungarian couple stayed with us for a week last year. But to
build my dream houae with enough room for ovemi^t gueste, I had
kept my noee to the grindstone for 30 years!
Need, not dollars, should shape VA
medical care, says PVA president
Tlie fiscal year 1987 budget proposal for the Veterans Administration is an "overt effort to eliniinate veterans' benefita and preclude
veterans' access to needed services, particularly in the area of medical
care," stated Richard D. Hoover, president of the Paralyzed Veterans
of America (PVA) in testimony presented to Uie Senate and Houae
Committees on Veterans Affairs.
According to Hoover, benefita and services for veterans will be reduced in excess of one biUion dollars. He saki this will result not only
in a reduction of the quantity of services provkledt-but-alao, with the
elimination of a significant number of full-tinie equivalent employeea
(Fn&) invoNed in direct medkal care, in the quality of service rendered.
"^lie BUMt devsstating component of the FY'87 budget proposal
is in the area of health care," stated Hoover, noting that reductions
in inpatient and ou^tient "episodes," nesrly 60,000 and more than
one million respectively, "are to be achieved by treating fewer
low priority veterans'."
"^e budget fails to define or identify who these 'low priority
veterans' are," asserted Hoover, challenging that any purported coat
savings that might be accrued would aacrifice the integrity of the
VA health care system.
The failure to provide mcmies for the more than 30,(XX) veterans
who ere being turned away from V A health care fadlitiee each month
is clearly an attempt to constrict the V A health care system and allow
dollars, not need, to shape the scope and operations of VA medical
care," contended Hoover.
Criticizing the "unstable fluctuation of both funding and staffing"
of VA medical and proethetic reeearch as a "devastating approach"
to maintaining the integrity of the V A's hi|^y sophisticated reeearch
programs. Hoover dted PVA's concerns about the dramatic reductions proposed for readjustment benefita, vocational rdubilitation,
specially adapted housing granta and additive equipment, paid to
severely disabled service-connected veterans.
"The VA's recent approach to achieving savings is abhorrent and
reflacto an insenaitivity and callous disregard for the service mdsred
by eligible vet«ans," diarged Hoover, adding that rather than eqiloring other methods to achieve the same savings, the VA has willingly
reduced benefita for aaverely disabled service<onnectad veterana.
The VA's dedsian-making and program planning proceaaes, particularly in the area of budget dedaions relating to veterans' health
care, CM be improved, noted Hoover, with the establishment and impleinentation of a comprdbensive computer utiliiation effort aa well
as the acqaiaition oi additional data which compares VA health care
to that in the private sector and establishes a bsd-aising modal toaddreaa the f^iture needs of all veterans.
AttMtding the joint hearing were members of PVA's Board of Director! and Executive Ckmunittee, the kttar of which coosista of the
following indivkluals: senior vice president Jack Michaels (Seattle),
vice prMidento James J. Peters (New York), Jamaa E. Smith (Vista.
Calif.) and Hany Hargrave (Cordova, TMUL), treasurer Ed Jaqier
(Loa Qatoa. Calif.), secretary Frank Riga (Phoenix) and immediata
past president Paul Cheremeta (Mayfield, Calif.).
The Paralyzed Veterans of America, a veterans service organization
chartered by Congress, has for almost four decades served the needs
of ite 12,000 members, all of whom have catastrophic paralyaia,
caused by spinal cord injury or disease.
