Everybody knows that when the big guy says pass the soap, you damn well better pass the soap. The two evil cops (Richard Young and Badja Djola) are flat, one- dimensional characters with abso- lutely no indication they are indeed human. They wantonly wreak havoc on innocent lives and see themselves as cocaine gurus. It's a wonder that anyone in the police department would put up with them for more than five minutes, yet alone convict Jimmie because they trust the two cops. An Innocent Man tries to remake Bad Boys by adding trite romance and a miscast Tom Selleck.

From 1967-69, I studied abroad as a student in Marquette Univer- sity's graduate journalism program. There weren't many of us enrolled at the time- four or five at most - in the program, but we learned, thought and practiced the intricacies of writ- ing closely with our professors. Although the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan is a similar Midwestern institution, there is a big difference between it and the smaller Marquette. Here, everything is done on a grand scale: there are fabulous buildings, and even larger facilities. The grounds of the Uni- versity have a manicured, old-world look- from the ivy-covered build- ings of the law school quadrangle to the beautiful flowers that dot the campus. "They must need an army of care- takers and gardeners," I thought to myself, walking around campus. In comparison, the union build- ing at Marquette is merely a huge common room with an adjoining cafeteria. My friends at school would often say, "Meet you at the union at noon," and I would squeeze into a seat between two Americans to wait. They would be sure to spot me. Here, though, you can get lost - you have to specify exactly in which floor, room, and corner to meet. I was further impressed with the University's many large study areas, which are perfectly furnished and lit for quiet, contemplative reading. I was in Ann Arbor only for a short while, as part of the Business School's Spouses Program, at the Executive Residence. The program allows businesspeople and harried executives to once again be students, and also gives executives a chancy to leave behind the pressures of their working lives to think and re-learn the ideals and theories of the busi- ness world. My husband and son ac- companied me to Ann Arbor. I thought of using my earlier free time in the week to teach a little of what I do in India in Ann Arbor. At home, I teach Mother Teresa's chil- dren at the Rehabilitation Center in Chandigarh, as a hobby class on Saturdays. The students of the col- lege of art at the local university help me, as part of their practical training. They share their skills with those that have less. So I took the campus bus to the children's Activities Center, on the sixth floor of the Mott's Children's Hospital - a wonderful, happy place - to try and teach some of the same ideas here. A recent seminar I attended in physical medicine, dealing with the latest techniques in rehabilitation, had put me in touch with the people at Mott's. After some phone calls I was able, for one week, to conduct a music therapy class to help handi- capped children exercise their hands and fingers, by moving to music. I managed only three classes, but they were so responsive, that I would have loved to do more. There was Jamie, age eight, who has been at the hospital for about nine weeks, and Jason, who has been there for about a month. Both are confined to wheelchairs. Jason loves basketball and baseball. He played videogames with my son, and loved it. Then there was eight-year-old Marisol, a lovely little girl with spina bifida, who loves bracelets and rings. Since I had to deal with above- the-waist exercises, I taught the chil- dren small movements - including making flowers and bringing nature into the room. I explained the grace, space and pace of the movements, and how our Indian movements are circular and rounded while the Amer- ican movements are often in straight lines. We also played the piano - the children love music - which is supposed to be good therapy for their limbs, by keeping time to the mu- sic, and using their hands. Kenny, aged 12, was the best student of the lot: enthusiastic, positive, and mov- ing his arms with great gusto. The hand co-ordination was especially important. The group learned six major exercises, including yoga movements, exercises from the Canadian PBX training program, and even American jazz steps were thrown in for good measure. The point of the exercises was to encourage the children to use their fingers and arms. The music is an incentive; more time will allow for more work. But after seeing their en- thusiasm, I headed back to India ex- cited to lead new therapy sessions there. Instead of taking the bus back to the executive residence, I decided to go on foot. It is a complicated walk from the hospital to the business school, but well worth the trip. There is one important thing I learned from my visit back to Amer- ica - one certainly learns much more than one gives. Clevenger said the Great Society speechtwas "Johnson's commitment to that program... It was his an- nouncement of his administration's direction. It certainly was an articula- tion of what we were all working_ for." he Great Society program began in 1964, with the monumental passage of the Civil Rights Act and an announcement of the "War on Poverty." Though Johnson began his War on Poverty in January, 1964, four months before the speech laid out the philosophical basis for the Great Society, Fine said it was the center- piece of the program. The War on Poverty consisted of federal funding for local communi- ties to address poverty (the Economic Opportunity Act), the Job Corps, the Neighborhood Youth Prince Continued from Page 7 feels like the Minneapolis sound, pre-Paisley psychedelia and functions as an offering to Prince's truest cult audience. In a snide voice he croons, "I don't really want a one-night stand/I only want to feel u up/I don't really want to be your man/I only want to feel u up." It's funny, and I couldn't picture Bruce Wayne spout- ing a line like that in a million years. This is a legit party on plastic and face it, Prince rules. -Forrest Green III 'It's in the history books. You read any account of the Johnson administra- tion, they'll talk about the the Great Society speech.' Corps, VISTA, and the food stamp program, among others. But most of the legislation that put the Great Society into practice took place after the election of 1964. Aside from the War on Poverty efforts, legislation was passed foster- ing development in depressed regions of the country, establishing the Head Start program for pre-school chil- dren, aiding poverty-stricken public school districts, and creating finan- cial aid programs for needy college students. There was unprecedented concern for the consumer, federal help for the arts and the humanities, and over $12 billion spent on beautification PASS IT AROUND! and conservation of the nation's nat- ural scenery and resources. The federal government passed legislation designed to increase the supply of affordable low income housing. And of course, there were the fa- mous Voting Rights Act, Medicare, and Medicaid. Almost all of the legislation from the Great Society is still with us, though much of it is now in modified form. Clevenger looks back on his years in Congress with satisfaction.
