of
o-
the Middle East," Krause said. "Much
of what I do focuses on economic and
political change.
"In Latin America, when I first
began, virtually every country in the
hemisphere was ruled by a military
government. Over the past 20 years,
that has changed, and now there's real-
ly only one [spot] in the hemisphere
that's ruled by a non-elected govern-
ment — Cuba."
Krause has reported on Mexico's
transition from an authoritarian to a
democratic political system and its
economic growth from insulated to
international trade activities.
Coverage of the Middle East is fas-
cinating to him as a Jew and a jour-
nalist. He has done reports that look
at the impact of the peace process
from both sides, and he has presented
analysis of why the peace process
seems to be collapsing.
Beyond the places, personalities
from around the world, including
many heads of state, have added to the
excitement of his career.
Krause has been particularly
impressed with Corazon
Aquino, who risked her own .
life to preserve her princi-
ples as leader of the
Philippines; Carlos
Salinas, who, despite
questionable ethical
practices, brought polit-
ical and economic
change to Mexico as
president; and Natan
Sharansky, who asserted
his beliefs as a dissident in
Russia and a political
activist in Israel.
Two current interests are
offshoots of his work respon-
sibilities. He serves as a member
of the board and the executive
committee of USA for the
United Nations High
Commissioner for
Refugees and as a
board member of
the Gdansk
Theatre
Foundation,
which is
rebuilding an
Elizabethan
theater in that
Polish city.
"My life is not routine, and when I
have some free time, I travel," said
Krause, who enjoys art museums and
exhibits. "I'll be in Spain and Italy for
my next vacation."
Mixed in among Krause's interna-
tional travels to meet with the people
in the headlines are travels to visit
with the people important to his per-
sonal life.
"I get back to Michigan several
times a year," said Krause, who stays
close with his father, Gerald, and step-
mother, Phyllis. I come to Detroit to
attend weddings and bar mitzvahs and
see family and friends. I'm here every
summer to be with a group of us who
went to Camp Seagull together."
Krause's sister, Suzanne Smuckler,
lives near him in Washington.
"Even though I haven't lived in
Detroit since I went away to college
when I was 18, I still feel Detroit is
my home," Krause said. "It's still a
place where I feel very comfortable
and try to maintain relationships." O
