(,) 041 •-• 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."
