fear
growth of
antd-Jewish
groups
The NDPC is a right-wing anti-
Semitic group backed by Lyndon
LaRouche and the U.S. Labor Party,
Levy claimed.
"WE WANT STUDENTS to realize
that there are several groups aiming at
campus trying to infest the University
community with 'hate," Levy said.
"These groups are anti-black, anti-Jew,
and anti-gay."
But, an NCPCg spokesman denied
charges of anti-Semitism and other
"ridiculous slanders," claiming the
group has "many Jewish members."
"The Labor Party no longer exists,"
he said, adding that the NDPC, a
national group with over 60 chapters, is
pro-nuclear and primarily interested in
"lowering interest rates," and con-
tinued growth in the economy.
The NDPC is "the Labor Party with
another name," said Michigan Anti-
Defamation League Director Dick
Lobenthal, adding that the Institute for
Historical Review is a "coalition of
long-term anti-Semitic activists and
revisionists."
According to Lobenthal, both groups
have ties with the Liberty Lobby, a
Washington-based group that publishes
the right-wing "Spotlight" newspaper.
LIBERTY LOBBY Board of Policy
secretary Lois Peterson said in a
telephone interview yesterday, "We're
concerned with them (The Institute for
Historical Review)," but denied that
the two groups are directly connected.
"We do get in trouble with Jewish
people," Peterson said. "We do point
out that Zionists interfere with national
affairs."
Peterson echoed the Institute's doub-
ts about the validity of the Holocaust,
saying "If that many people were put in
the oven, they'd still be standing in
line."
"We're not anti-Semitic, we're pro-
American," Peterson said.
Peterson said she was encouraged by
the increase in student interest she has
noticed over the past year in Spotlight
and the Liberty Lobby's activities.
"There needs to be more historical
revision," she said.

CHICAGO-Children born today
could live for a century if they could
manage to lead a clean life rather than
"the good life," the American Medical
Association said yesterday.
Science has the knowledge "right
now to produce an average life span of
90 to 100 years," said Frank Chappell,
science news editor for the AMA. "But
the industrialized world we live in-the
'good life'-is what holds us back."
NO FANCY prescriptions are
required for lengthening lifespans,
Chappell said, just intelligent use of
existing knowledge, coupled with the
willingness to live in accordance with
sound rules for health.
People may be able to live even
longer because of "a real possibility" of
more progress in combatting cancer
and other diseases, he added.
Roger Olin, director of the AMA
Program on Aging, said in a telephone
interview that overindulgence in food
and drink, stress, smoking tobacco, and
inactivity should be avoided.
"YOU SHOULD pay attention to your
diet and make sure it's well-balanced,"~
Olin said. "Engage in exercise that will
maintain your body in good physical
condition. Pursue moderation in all
things and watch out for smoking."
Olin said few people exercise
life span
regularly and vigorously. He pointed
out that about one-third of the nation's
population is 20 percent overweight and
that between 70 million and 80 million
Americans smoke.
And while heart disease remains the
nation's leading cause of death, Chp-;,
pell added: "You can reasonably
reduce heart disease by clean living,
although I don't think very many of us
are likely to live the clean life."
GENERAL HEALTH, indicated by
reduced disability from diseases and an
increase in overall ability to function
effectively, has improved for all age
groups, Olin said.
He said that with the presidency oyv,
held by a man who will be 74 at the &1d
of his four-year term, people are
looking hard at long-held ideas about
when someone becomes too old ford=
tive life.
When Social Security began in 19Z
life expectancy was only 61 years a'
the average person was not expected to
live long enough to collect. Life exp
tancy has since climbed to 74, Chappell1
noted.
CHAPPEL SAID that because of
greater life expectancy, people will
have to develop broader life interests,
including recreational pursuits, to
provide meaning and vitality through
those extra years.
