Swiss trip gets mixed • reVIews

By Sister Mary Ann Walsh VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II's visit to Switzer­ land June 12-17 both promoted ecumenism and spotlighted dis­ agreements among Christian churches and within the Catholic community.

The pope began his visit on an ecumenical note at Ithe World Council of Churches Geneva headquarters June 12 when he called for increased cooperation between Catholics and the WCC in social issues.

His call for joint action was, backed by a Catholic-Wee statement on cooperation. Car­ dinal Johannes Willebrands, head of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, and the Rev. Philip Potter, the Metho­ dist minister who is general sec­ retary of the wce said the two groups should "take up some of the most pressing issues to­ gether, especially the concern for world peace."

The pope took another ecu­ menical step on June ,15 when he met with leaders of ,Switzerland's Reformed Church in Kersatz, a small town where Catholics and Reformed Protestants have a church serving both congrega­ tions.

Bishop Pierre Mamie of Lau­ sanne, Geneva, and Fribou'rg, said that before the papal visit, "Protestants in Switzerland had a stereotyped attitude about the pope and towards Catholics."

"Their seeing him here in his human simplicity is a major step toward reconciliation," the bish­ op said.

But along with generating ecumenical good will, the pope's visit also emphasized doctrinal separation between Catholics and Protestants, particularly on the issue of intercommunion.

The pope indicated that for Catholics, intercommunion is a goal of unity, not a means of achieving it.

"We may not give a false sign." the pope said.

A Protestant spokesman dis­ agreed sharply.

"We believe that the celebra­ tion of the Communion at sep­ arate tables means disobedience towarqs Christ's call and a limi­ tation of his generosity," J. P. Jornid, president of the Swiss Evang~lical Union, told the pope.

The pope met dissension in Catholic ranks ,the following day,

THE' 'ANCHOR':"'Oiocese of Fall' River-Fri., JUh~' 22, 1984

~p. La~ BOSTON (NC) Boston Archbishop Bernard F. Law has defended his right as a religious leader' to "meddle" in political issues.

Speaking at a June 13 prorally at the Massachusetts statehouse in Boston. the archbishop said that in his prior post as bishop of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Mo., he had been advised to re­ frain from "meddling" in polici­ cal issues.

He said that he had responded, "Well, I've always said that if a preacher isn~t meddling, then he isn't preaching."

"There are those who would ask "What are you doing at the statehouse?'" he said. Noling . that he has. aligned himself in both Missouri and Massachusetts with legislation on behalf of the poor, the elderly, the sick and those in need of decent housing he said, "Is that meddling?"

de:fends right to 'meddle' Archbishop Law said that his statehouse audience - made up of people of v@.rious faiths and political views - contradicted those who claim there are "small" groups of Catholics who are always trying to foist their morality on the public."

"As a Catholic, I would sin against my faith if I denied the fact that life begins at the mo­ ment of conception'and is to be protected," the archbishop de­ clared. "But I think that in the statehouse a more appropriate point of reference would be the Bill of Rights and the Constitu­ tion of the United States and what it is that makes this na­ tion a great nation."

The archbishop said he thinks it is unsettling that society "can be galvanized by the picture of a little 2-year-old girl who has ' had a liver transplant but can remain so callous when millions

are being deprived of life" through abortion with the ap­ proval of government.

"Where, in the name of God, are we if we undercut the basic right to life?" he asked.

He called the abortion issue a "fundamental question, a ques­ tion that springs out of the fab­ ric of our nation and unless we redress the drift that is presently in place, we're going to bear sadder consequences than we are already experiencing as a nation." .

The archbishop said society must be more responsive to the plight "of those who find them­ selves in very difficult pregnan­ cies." He urged the prolifers to take the lead in tackling ,the problem and cited the efforts of such organizations as Pregnancy Help, a local group, and Birth­ right, a national organization of­ fering alternatives ~o abortion.

Cardinal explains wide pro-life range

KlANSAS CITY, Mo. (NC)­ 'Addressing a broad range of pro~life issues does not mean diluting the content of the pro­ life message, Card.ina-l Joseph Bernardin of Chicago told par­ ticipants in the 1984 National Right to Life conven~ion in' Kansas City June 7.

At the June 7-9 convention, National. Right to Life Commit­ tee -leaders said that the reelec­ tion of Ronald Reagan is the or­ ganizB!tion's number one prior­ ity. More than 1,000 people at­ tended the convention, which in­ cluded sessions on adoption, in vitro fertilization, fetal pain and teen-agers and abortion.

Cardinal Bernardin stressed the need '.'to cast our case in broadly, defined terms, jn a way which elicits support from oth­ ers. We need to shape our po­ sition' consciously in a way de­ signed to. generate interest in the abortion question from indi­ viduals who thus far have not been touched 'by our witness or our arguments."

The cardinal had been criti­ cized by some pro-lifers last De­ cember when he urged the church to promote a "consistent ethic of life" that wou-ld in­ clude opposition to not only abortion but capital punishment and the increase in nuolear ar­ maments.

In Kansas City, Cardinal Ber­ nardin said, "The basic moral principle that the direct killing of the innocent is a-lways wrong

is (so) fundamental in Catholic theology that the need to defend :it in the multiple cases of abor­ tion, warfare and care of the handicapped' and terminally ill is se1f~vident."

He said one reason for the need to defend the rights of the innocent is the growing, erosion of the moral fiber of the United States because of the abortion issue.

"If civil law can be neutral when innocent life is· under .at­ tack, the implications for law

and moraHty in our society are truly frightening," he declared.

There is a need,' be said, to cultivate respect for }ife on a series of issues. It follows, he continued, that the linkage theme is consistent with the ethic of me.

While developments in every life issue may not be the direct responsibility of each pro-lifer, they should always be of In­ tense interest to aU, he con­ cluded.

She '8 been there Are you thinking that you might volunteer as a CCD teacher come faIl? Here's encouragement from Mrs. Karen Bergeron of St. Mary's parish, Seekonk, a nfoe..year veteran of CCD: "Just before CCD classes started in September 1975, a caH went out for 6th grade teachers. If none could be found, the children in 6th grade would not be able to attend CCD that ·year.

"I wasn't sure I was quali­ fied to teach religion; in fact, I was positive I wouldn't be able to. 'But thinking ahead to the year my oldest child would be in 6th grade and . the possibility of her not being able to attend because of lack of teachers, I said a prayer a~d volunteered.

"It was hard at first, but I've -learned more about my­ self and my faith - and how much the children themselves have taught me!

"No one could have been more unsure of themselves' than I was. Anyone who has thought about teaching, but don't think they can; do what I did - say a prayer and fol­ low through. I'm sure you'll be surprised and pleased at what you can do in helping to bring God's word to the youth of our parish."

'A Drastic Thought .

The current debate concerning the status of illegal . aliens in this country has certainly occasioned an out­ pouring of opinions. Politicians, .lobbyists, civil rights workers and church leaders are but a few of those who have felt they had to voice a position on this very 'thorny question. .

Lobbyists have had a field day attempting to persuade elected officials of the merits of the stance taken in the matter by their particular group, be it'affiliated with rabor, agriculture or big business. Everyone seems to have a position, often at the expense of the desperate individuals whose fate is being decided.

But one very important idea seems to have been buried under the tons of written and spoken words on the subject.

Few commentators have even mentioned the fact that' this country is still the hope, the desir~d destination and the ideal of the afflicted and captive.

We tend to focus on alien exploitation without any reference as to why people are risking life and limb to reach America. Areas of injustice and immoral behavior certainly should be uncovered and correCted. Yet at the same time the whole picture of people's attempt to become a part of this nation should also be considered.

The United States is historically an immigrant haven.

Its so-called historic destiny was the inspiration. of immi­ grants. Waves of immigration breaking upon our shores are of our essence as a nation.

What is of prime concern today is the number of im­ migrants who enter this country illegally. There was a day when people were welcome here. Then those who had be­ come established decided that immigration should be limit­ ed. .

Since then the exclusion mentality has dominated American immigration policy. First we played the numbers game. Only' a certain amount of the world's poor and suf­ fering could be allowed into the country. As this procedure became impractical, people were selected by countries.

But this too became impractical, usually for politicians. So new measures were taken to make sure that the United States did not become overpopulated by "undesirables."

Naturally order and common sense must be used to help insure that both citizens and aliens are protected from capitalistic or political 'avarice. Yet in all the heated ex­ changes it must be recognized that we are dealing with peo­ ple, not objects or statistics - real human beings who are doing nothing more than seeking freedom, people who want to be part of the American experience, who have a vision of personal dignity. and respect.

Perhaps it would be well to do away with numerical restrictions and selectivity pf national origin. Perhaps everyone who wants to come to this land could be given a legal chance to do so. Perhaps we could abolish so-called protectionism, eliminate quotas and. open our doors to all honest men and women who sincerely seek the chance to live as Americans.

Let the chips fall where they may! Let the market­ place meet the challenges and the establishment the com­ petition. Would c it not all level off in. typical American fashion? Would not true freedom become a reality and not a mandated choice? Would not this land be better if we stopped considering people as criminals simply because they want to be free?

Is this too idealistic, too drastic a thought?

• MTV: .another VIew

Remember the column I wrote on banning MTV, the teenage video music pro­ gram in our home after I, saw some sexually exploitive and sadistic material my son was watching? Well, I received a thoughful letter from Annette Colombini of Poulsbo, WA., who disagreed. Here is part of her letter: "I am a high school senior, a 17-year-old Catholic. I do not do drugs, get good grades and I come from a very respected fam­ ily.

"I love music, though. One way I enjoy my music is by watching MTV. I read your opin­ ion regarding MTV and can re­ spect your views. There are some music videos that contain questionable themes. However, I am able, due to my strong moral upbringing, to see through these themes and recognize them.

I think that most teenagers with average intelligence can do the samOe and reject the 'bad' themes as their consciences dictate.

"I think that if a person views a situat~on, whether it be MTV or any,thing else, looking for 'bad' things such as sexual sad­ ism, violence, etc. that is pre­ cisely what they will find. But if a person views MTV or any­ thing else merely as entertain­ ment, that is also what they will find. ' "When you forbade your

child's watching of MTV, were you giving his intelligence or sense of responsibility a boost?

Or were you saying, 'I do not think you are smart or respon­ sible enough to tell what is good and bad, retain the good and re­ ject the bad? I am not sure. If I were in his shoe, I would feel as though you did not trust my judgment or your raising of me."

I wrote to Ms. Colombini ask­ ing her if she would ban any­ thing from her children and if so, what and at what age. She replied, "I have thought about that 'question a lot and jotted down many notes that seem to say the same thing. '.

"I believe a child's environ­ ment dictates the kind of per­ son h~ will be. If a child grows , up in loving, honest, Christian environment, it is my belief that he will be a loving, honest, Ohris­ tian person and be able to handle all of life's experiences as such.

I also believe, very strongly, that children learn from the example of their parents . . . " This young lady impresses me as being the kind of offspring parents long for. But experience tells us that lots of kids from loving Christian hom~s are not able ·to handle life's experiences.

I wish I could say that I could expose my children to any and all experiences and know that because they come from a warm loving Christian home they can

Therefore, I feel ·the need to monitor influences. I don't accept that it means I don't trust my son. I do. He's a good kid with good principles. It means -that I don't want sadistic sex and vio­ lence invading our home as a part of our family life or esthetic appreciation. _ Annette is probably right. She can handle MTV and the vio­ lence, sadism and fallout that go along with it. But ·if we allow programs that accept masochism, sadism and violence -- behaviors we do not value -- as part of their entertainment value, is this not the example she was talking about?

What does it tell our childen about our value system? That supporting -tr!ish is okay as long at it's part of entertainment and won't harm us? That's been the pornographer's stance for years.

No, in spi.te of mature young people with good morals like Annette, I won't relent on MTV beca-use I wouldn't allow those values into our home on two legs. Why should I on an elec­ tronic tube?

JAMES KENNY

Dear Mary: For the past three years I have been

friends with a neighbor whom I thought was some­ one special in my life. We had been through the good and the bad together. We shared many ups and downs.

After a while, our disagree­ ments came closer and closer to­ gether. I was always the first to try to work out our differences.

Each time it got harder to take that first step.

Needless to say, it has hap­ pened again. For no reason that I have been able to figure out, she blew up at me and was very rude. It is now going into the second week, and to this date I'm still in the dark as to what happened. I truly feel I don't want to take the first step any­ more. It is draining me to con­ tinue going through this every so many months.

Is it possible that there are just some people impossible to relate to or have any kind of a mature relationship with? Could It be the difference In our ages?

She is 25, I'm 35. Besides me she only 'has one othet friend. Es that a clue for me? - Kentucky.

What is wrong with your friend? Who knows? You live right near her and are her close friend, and you cannot figure her out. Certainly I cannot ex­ plain or diagnose her behavior.

While her behavior is unfor­ tunate and distresses you, the problem is not what is wrong with your neighbor, but what can you do at this point and what do you want to do.

• The tone of your letter sug· geests that you are weary of the whole relationship and would like to break it off. This is a legitimate choice to make.

When you have been rebuffed several times, your efforts seem wasted. Your friend's behavior suggests that she may want the relationship to end. Breaking up your friendship with no explana­ tion and no resolution will be painful for you, but it is a rea· sonable choice.

Another alternative is to keep the lines of communication open. but without the closeness which your friendship previously en­ joyed. Invite her over if you have a party or host 'a community meeting. You will be extending friendship to her as one of the neighbors, but not as your special friend.

You say that once you shared· good times and bad. Then your friend began to get angry with no apparent reason. Such be­ havior suggests that she might be upset because of something in her personal life which has nothing to do with you.

In this case she might need a friend very much. Recognizing this, you might reach out one more time. Write her a note say­ ing, "I'm sorry about what hap-

& MARY KENNY

pened between us," and offer your help if she needs you in any way.

Such a note might be less draining on you than a personal visit or phone call. You are not apologizing or taking blame, since you have· no reason to apologize. If she does have a problem which she needs to share with someone, you have indicated you are available.

Reaching out to others in friendship, as you have repeated­ ly done, is an important part of life. Sometimes, however, the effort is too painful or fruitless, and you may need to hold back.

Decide in your own mind which relationship you wish to estab­ lish with this neighb~ and then act accordingly.

Jesuit head on CBS TV

THE ANCHOR....:.

Friday, J~ne 22, 1984

NEW YORK ~C) - Priests should 'stay out of politics, but they must speak out against in­ justice even if it brings accusa­ tions that they are becoming political, the JesuIt superior gen­ eral, Father Peter-Hans Kolven­ bach said in an interview with CBS-TV. "The priest has always to be the witness of the heart of the matter," said Father Kolven­ bach, elected to head the Society of Jesus last September. "i\nd the heart of the matter is the conversion of our hearts."

Pamela Hott, CBS vice presi­ dent for religious and cultural programs, said" she thought this was the first time Father Kolven­ bach had granted a television interview.

Interviewed on 'a rooftop with the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the background, Father Kol­ venbach talked about problems in the Middle East, where he formerly served, the future of

the Jesuits and other Issues, as well as the controversy over priests in politics.

The main reason the church does not want a priest to become involved in politics 'is because a priest must serve as a "minis­ ter of ~econdliation" for all of humanity, the Jesuit superior said.

The Jesuit mission, he said, is to get involved in non-religious areas. "Where Christ is absent we are to announce the Gospel," he said.

"We know that it's a difficult. mission, that it's a delicate mis­ sion that will not always be understood, even in the church itself," Father Kolvenbach said.

"But that is the mission we have received, and for this mission the Society was founded."

Despite risk of misunderstand­ ing, he said, the priest should speak out w.here there is in­ justice while remembering that the crux of the matter is conver­ sion of the heart: "The best revolution will not succeed - and we know it be­ cause we have seen them - if man doesn't like to be what he should, a man for others," he said. "And the best program for development, ,the best plan for social involvement will not suc­ ceed if we don't convert our hearts."

Father Kolvenbach, who head­ ed the Jesuit community of the Middle East prior to his 1981 appointment as rector of the, Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome, deplored the exodus of Christians from. ,the Middle East and caBed for the universal church to help them continue living there.

Asked about the future of the Jesuits, Father Kolvenbach said that it depended first on the pope, "We are at his service, and he will be our future," he said.

Tidy profit VATICAN CITY (NC) The Vatican museums earned a profit of more than $1 million on the 14-month exhibit of more than 200 of their works in the United States, said Walter Persegati, secretary and treasurer of the museums. He said the money will go to restore art works and to make museum improvements.

The profit came from royalties, reproductions, books and cata­ logs associated with the show, which was exhibited in New York, Chicago and San Francisco and viewed by more than 2 mil­ ,lion people.

Defend, don't rap MILWAUKEE (NC) - Pro­ lifers should defend, not criti­ cize, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin's linkage of opposition to abor­ tion, nuclear war and capital punishment a's a "seamless gar­ m,ent," says Michael Schwartz, public . affairs director for the Catholic League for Religious and -Civil Rights. Some pro-lifers have criticized the, Chicago car­ dinal for what they say is his downplaying of the abortion is­ sue by linking it to' other life questions.

Bishops give ideas

on party platforms­ 'WASHINGTON (NC) -Auxil­ iary Bishop Eugene A. Marino of Washington, testifying for the U.S. Catholic Conference June 12, said the Democratic Party platform should promote protection of life by opposing nuclear war and. abortion.

Referring to criticism that the bishops are unwisely Hnking those two issues, Bishop Ma­ rino admitted they need differ­ ent approaches.

"But it is clear to us that the sanctity - indeed the survival - of human life is at stake in both. It is likewise clear that in both cases our nation faces grave problems which cry out for a redirection of public pol­ icy."

The testimony, also to be sub­ mitted to Republican Party offi­ cials, reiterated posHions devel­ oped previously by the bishops through pastoral letters, con­ gressional testimony and state­ ments on political responsibility.

Alphabetically, the usee tes­ timony covered ·these topics: ABORTION: The bishops urged reversal of the 1973 Supreme Court ruling legaHzing abortion and urged the platform commit­ tee to support passage~ of a con­ stitutional amendment to out­ law abortion.

The testimony also said "pub­ He funding policies should en­ courage childbirth over abor­ tion" and noted that the bishops oppose public funding of abor­ tion.

ARMS CONTROL AND DIS­ ARMAMENT: "Our judgment of 'strictly conditional moral ac­ ceptance of nuclear deterrence' means that the deployment of certain kinds of· new weapons to deterrence should be avoided," the testimony said. The bishops also recommeinded "a bilateral, verifiable and negotiated halt to all new nuclear weapons de­ ployment" and "intensified ne­ gotiations" ·to reduce nuclear arsenals.

CIVIL RIGHTS: Renewed and effective 'action is required on the part of government, the pri­ vate sector, and individual citi­ zens to eradicate unjust dis­ crimination in aU its· forms so that all Americans can exer­ cise their basic human rights," the bishop said.

CRIME AND CRIMINAL 'JUS· TICE: "We support strong and effective 'action to control hand­ guns," the bishops said, add­ ing "We oppose the use of cap­ ital punishment." .

EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME: "Our nation should pro­ vide jobs for those who can work and a decent income for those who cannot," the USCC said.

FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL POLICY: "The right to eat fol­ lows from the right to life;" the USCC said, urging nutrition pro­ grams for those in need.

HEALTH CARE: "While our goal remains a comprehensive national health insurance pro­

gram, we 'Strongly urge that im­ mediate attention be given to meeting the basic hea1th needs of the poor, half of whom are in­ eligible for Medicaid under cur- . rent standards," the usec said.

HUMAN RIGHTS: The bishops said the United States should accord "greater weight to the protection of human rights in the oonduct of U.S. affairs."

IMMIGRATION: The bishops said they support immigration reform legislation providing "a generous legalization program for undocumented aliens."

MASS MEDIA: The usec said it opposes decreased ac­ oountabiilty of broadcasters and cable TV systems to their com­ munities. It 111so supported the concept of universal, .Jow-cost telephone service and denounced pornography. .

REGIONAL CONFLICTS: The USCC stated that the United States should "play a creative diplomatic role" in promoting dialogue to bring what peace and economic reconstruction in Central America. They also said that "religious communi­ ties with roots in the Middle East must reflect the best of our 'traditions in supportin~ the movement for peace with justice for aU people of the region."

Discussing South Afr.ica, they said that "U.S. foreign policy and its inf,Juence on corporate activity "should be directed to­ ward needed change in South Afr-ica and in its relation:s with neighboring states,"

Seat money discontinued Collection of seat money will be discontinued in diocesan par­ ishes in accordance with a de­ cision made by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin in consu1tation with the Priests' Council.

In a letter to pastors and asso­ ciates, the bishop said that par­ ishes may discontinue. the col­ lection by July 1 but that it must be. terminated by Jan. 1, 1985.

Terming collection of ..25 per person either at the church en­ trance or at a special collection during Mass an "anachronistic" practice, the· bishop said the mechanical aspects of making change and collecting seat money "can impede the flow of the Hturgical celebration and dis­ tract the people of God." The bishop, noting that seat money revenues, often amount­ i.ng to between $10,000 and $20,000 annually, represent an important part of parish income, suggested that· parishioners in­ crease offertory collection con­ tributions to compensate for the Joss.

It's Better "It is better to be rebuked by a wise man that to be deceived by the flattery of fools." - Ec­ cles.

Hospital tour intrigues kids A'mong activities of volunteers at St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, is the conducting of weekly hospital tours for pre­ schoolers in Head. Start pro­ grams. The tours have been found valuable in reassuring chB­ dren about what happens if they or a relative or friend are hos­ pita'lized.

Preparation for the visit begins in the Head Start classroom with showing of a film strip about a child's hospital experience. Then, when the big day ·arrives and the children come to the hospital, each gets an identifying wrist­ band and either a nurse's cap or a doctor's head scope. (Gender doesn't decide who gets what.)

The tour begins with an ele­ vator ride to the pediatric unit, where the youngsters check out a typical child's room and have medical items explained to them by head nurse Barbara Dias and her coworkers.

Probably making rthe biggest hit is the stop at the pediatric playroom. .Many children are ready to be admitted to St. Anne's on Ithe spot rather than be tom away from its delights.

The next stop is the pulmon­ ary therapy department, where respiratory therapist Cornel Bou­ dria discusses the importance of lungs and how smoking damages them.

After the tour, when the child­ ren are asked what they've learn­ ed, the most· frequent respon~e is "not to smoke."

The X-ray department is an­ other highlight. There, when they're available, either Dr. W. Robert Courey, radiology chief, or Jeff Kelly, administrative di­ rector, introduuces the visitors to ,Oscar, the department's friendly skeleton.

The children also enjoy study­ ing X-rays, often coming up with quite creative interpret~­ tions of them. One 4-year-old, for example, shown a pelvic X­ ray, declared, "It's a guit~."

At tour's end the children dis-­ cuss their experiences and are presented coloring books about St. Anne'" Hospital. Later they are asked to draw their own pic-

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., June 22, 1984

With summer here, 'tele­ visIon tends to claim more and more time from both .children and adults. Much is .good: who wants to miss the Summer Olympics? But the red light flashes when pas­ sive watching replaces par­ ticipation in the outdoor delights of the season, when whole families become what might be called teleholics.

The following articles by Father Eugene Hemrick, a columnist for the ,National Catholic News Service, dis­ cuss the problem.

Cable TV advice

Curing teleholics "I was an addict. The biggest clues to that' addiction were' these: "I was watching television, not specific programs.

"I was letting television crowd out of my life a great deal that I had always said was important to me, including people.

"I kept turning the knob, look~ ing for higher levels of excite­ ment.

"I was doing the equivalent of the alcoholics' 'blacking out,' having to work hard the next day to remember what I had watched the night before."

These words of Ben Logan are from the book titled "Television Awareness Training," by Diane Liebert and published by Media Action Research Center Resource.

The book contains 21 well-writ­ ten chapters by research special­ ists in television viewing.

In the chapter titled, "Tele­ vision, Advertising and Values," Ms. Liebert says: "Young child­ ren trust commercials and be­ lieve they always teIl the truth:' She points out the danger in that trust by referring to a child who took 40 vitamin pills because he thought they would make him as big and strong as the person who advertised them.

She struck a chord with me when, writing about children's early attraction to pills, she said: "Surely there is something wrong when our children tell us what kind of piUs they want."

In Chapter 5, "Television and Children: Regulating TV at Home," a parent writes: "Our goal in creating ways to limit TV isn't so much to protect the children from specific images but to protect a lifestyle which we know is good for us."

Another parent writes: "Each day televisiori becomes a nego­ tiable issue:' Of sqap operas, the author writes: '1Most say they find soaps engrossipg in the way that gossip is. They like the contact with proble~~ without ,the responsi­ bility tf' do som~g about them." . , Other interesting chapters in the bOQk include: "Television and Theplogy," "~ow Television Changes Children;' and "Learn­ ing and Television Violence:' At the end of each chapter

readers are asked to fill out worksheets. The exercises are ex­ cellent for creating a deeper awareness about what vie watch. . For example, we' are asked to analyze propaganda techniques ,used to seIl products. Some tech­ niques -are: - "Big names"; Buy it be­ cause I said so. .

-"Bad names"; You're stupid if you don't.

- "Transfer"; You. can be like this too.

- "Testimonial"; It worked for me.

- "Bandwagon"; Everybody's doing it.

When I showed this book to a friend and tried to sell her on its value for her family, she sighed and said: "When you come home tired in the evening' all you want to do is relax and be.' entertained. If you can't watch tel~vision, what can you do?" .'She had a' point. For millions of viewers, television is a means of cutting (oose ·from the prob­ lems of the day and escaping into fantasy. ~urning television into an analytical workshop does sound like homework.

Yet I wonder. Isn't there some· thing wholesome about teaching children to discern what is best to watch during their formative years? .

Isn't there a. sense of self­ confidence that comes from weeding out programs and say­ ing "no" rather. than helplessly enduring second-rate entertain­ ment? It is a question of becom­ ing active, not passive; of re­ fusing to be manipulated.

Television-awareness training does imply homework. ;But isn't this the type of homework that sends us to bed with a clearer mind and a refreshing sense of accomplishment? .

Freedom from TV How would you like to experi­ ence a new-found freedom? If you feel your c~i1dren are hook­ ed on the 23 or more· hours of television the average' person watches each week, think about curtailing the viewing time. .

What can you expect in re­ turn? The first few days will probably be a war of nerves. No doubt there will be fits of tem­ per, moodiness and restlessness.

The withdrawal' symptoms will seem worse than those experi­ enced in cutting back on alco­ hol or tobacco. Even more dIs­ turbing will be the frightening ~alization that you will have to fill in time usually consumed by televison.

But, you ask,how is this a new-found freedom? In experi­ ments where parents limited television, the results were as­ tonishing. ~ Children who wert1 passive and loners began to 'ask their parents if they couid invite friends' over to the house to play.

They were no longer onlookers, but became participants, crea­ tively intermingling with friends.

Children whose grades were Ds and Fs began to earn B pluses. One mother observed that her child began to get out­ doors' more'· and. to create new

WASHINGTON (NC) - Four national church groups have urged the House Energy and Commerce Committee to give community information needs first priority in r.able television legislation. In a recent joint let­ ter, the groups said the legisla­ tion :;hould be amended to al­ low cable to realize its potential "to deliver programs and infor­ mation services that will strengthen community institu­ tions and afford widespread op­ portunities for. ordinary citizens to voice thdr concerns:' The letter was signed by represen­ tatives of the U.S. Catholic Con· ference, the United Church of Christ, the National Council of Churches of Christ and United Methodist Communications.

·Turning it

ofl

By Hilda Young' I have been somewhat defensive about the. reports of children in families watching too much television. Our famHy has been, I thought, aware of the drug called television and have tried in reasonable ways to watch our use - or abuse.

However, some things worry me. Not the least of which is our 5-year-old walking stra-ight through the door after school to watch cartoons. And the fact that our family tells .the days of the week by what's c;m prime time: Tuesday is "A-Team," Wednesday is "FaU Guy," etc.

At the prodding of friends, spouse and I tried an experi­ mentrece~.t1y. Instead of watching a half-hour of television after dinner we took a half-hour family walk.

At first II thought it would be groan city.

Little Michael was the first to notice the fresh green blades of grass forcing themselves through cracks in the sidewalk.

It was like nature sending out tiny green "henos:' Marie observed how oldest son wa'lks just like his dad.

Joey pointed at the string of sparrows perched on a tele­ phone line. We listened to them chatter, gossip. We wondered where they could all live in our big city. Johnny wanted to know which one made the decision to Jaunch en masse and how they decided where to land next.

That made spouse think. of how he used to hunt little birds with a J;!B gun when he was ·a boy. He described how one day he hit and kiHed one. And how his excitement turned to sorrow as he found the innocent and fragile creature and buried it in a shoe box. ' We discovered the impressive design on manhole covers; talked about how long grandma might live; debated why fire hydrants look the way they do; and decided, for some reason, to try a Saturday evening Mass for a change this weekend.

"The world has need of the authentic contradiction of consecrated religious who must continuously be the yeast of saving renewal," the pope said during the Mass at St. Peter's Basilica marking the end of a two-day Holy Year celebration for religious.

By Sister Mary ~ Walsh ROME CNC) - "We are try­ ing to get into China," Mother Teresa of Calcutta told Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, Vatican sec­ retary of state, -after her speech to more than 3,000 young peo­ ple at a Holy Year youth cele­ bration in Rome.

Speaking of her hC!pes of en­ tering the country where the church has been oppressed since • ,the 1949 Communist revolution, she described a visit to the Chin­

ese embassy .in New Delhi, In­ dia, where she told an official, "I have come to offer you my sisters."

She said the official's re­ sponse was: "Do you belong to John Paul?"

His answer showed wariness but he later visited the place where Mother Teresa's Mission­ aries of Charity work with the poor, she said.

"When he saw our room for the dying," said Mother Teresa,-

"he said, .'I will help you in every possible way.' " Mother Teresa said she has been successful in another Com­ munist-ruled area,. East Berlin, , where "the government .is very kind to us."

She said her community now has 250 houses in 35 countries and that .she has 132 requests from bishops throughout the world for her order to come to their dioceses.

Mother Teresa fingered her rosary as she spoke about the effect of prayer on her co~­ munity.

"We used to have adoration of the Blessed Sacrament once a week," said Mother Teresa, "but the Sisters decided .in 1973 that they should have adoration of the Blessed Sacrament for . one hour per day," Mother Teresa worried that this would take too much time from their work with the poor, but she was in for a surprise. .Despite the increased prayer, "we have not had to cut down on our work," she said. Since iricrell$ing prayer, she noted, the sisters also have experienced a rise in vocations and better com­ munity spirit. The increased prayer, she added, led to growth in understanding of the mem­ bers for one another and an in­ crease in compassion for the poor.

This has had a positive effect on the people who come in con­ taet with the order, she said.

"Last year the Sisters conse­ crated 56,000. families" to Mary, said Mother Teresa. "There was such a change in the families that even Hindu families have requested this."

Q. My

brother, a baptized Catholic who bas Dot practiced bls religion for many years, plans to be. married In a non­ Catholic I have received eonfIlctlng opinions regarding whether or not my family should attend the wedding. Pm sure other famlly members and friends who are practicing Catholics wfII attend.

But we are not sure. Would It be sfnful, or acceptable, for us to be there? (Callfomla) A. First, please do not think of this in terms of "sin" or not.

Particularly for someone like yourself who obviously tends to do what is right but is tom be­ tween conflicting responsibilities, there is no clear-cut black-and­ white answer. We're not talking about sin; rather; what is the better thing to do, all things con­ sidered?

Decisions such as this are never easy, particularly if the other party - in this case your brother - doesn't recognize the questions of consdence he is raising in the people who love him.

Your first obligation, of course, is to yourself, that you do not compromise, or seem to compromise, your. own convic­ tions about the church and about the sacred sigl'lificanoe of a Christian and Catholic marriage.

On the other hand, you owe him your love and support even though he is doing something which you (but, you must re­ member, perhaps not he) con­ sider wrong for one who is sup­ posed to be Catholic. You also want to do nothing that will im­ pair, especially if children are involved, the rest of your fam­ i1y'~ respect for the church and for her laws relating to mar· riage.

Others in your situation have worked out ways to make their own convictions and beliefs very clear to everyone concerned, and still attend the ceremony with little or no pQssibility that any­ one could misinterpret that at­ tendance.

P~y about it, discuss It with others in your family, and then do what you believe is the most charitable thing for everyone in­ volved.

It may be: somewhat consoling for you to recall that the church's law now is that any baptized Catholic must be married before a priest or deacon unless that individual has formally rejected the Catholic faith. What might constitute such a "formal reo jection" is still unclear, and will become specific only with ex· perience.

A. The changes in our euchar­ istic rIlturgy have occurred grad· ,uaHy, mainly over 'Ii period of about 10 years starting during the Second Vatican Council.

Mass in English (or other local languages) was first authorized in 1964. In succeeding years in. dividual parts were changed and some were eliminated, such as the first 14 verses of the Gospel of John, which up to that time were read at the end of Mass.

The ~ucharistic Prayer itself was -permitted in vernacular lang· uages in 1968.

In 1970, after years of work, the new Order of Mass was ap· proved by Pope Paul VI, replac· ing the format authorized by the Council of Trent more than 400 years before. Use of the English translation of this new missal - or Sacramentary - was re·, quired in our country as of Dec. I, 1974.

FATHER ROBERT DON· OVAN, ,associate pastor at St. Francis Xavier parish, Hyannis, was the principal speaker at the 104th anni­ versary banquet of the Cath­ olic Association of Fores­ ters, held last Saturday in North Falmouth.

FRANCIS X. DILLON, a 1970 graduate of Stonehill College, North Easton, has been named the college's as­ sistant to the president for development.

He has been aSsociated with Stonehill since his graduation as admissions counselor,. assistant director of admission and most reo cently director of admis­ sions.

His wife, Linda, is a fin­ ancial aid officer at the col­ lege.

Dillon succeeds Walter A. Mullen, now retired, Stone­ hill director of development since 1970.

Sister Eugenia Margaret, SUSC, of tb.e faculty of Coyle and Cassidy High School, Taun­ ton, and her sister, Mrs. James A. O'Brien Jr., director of the Boston province of the National . CouncH of Catholic Women, represented the Fall River dio·' cese at a national Catholic con· ference on obscenity, porno­ graphy and "cableporn" held earlier this month in New York.

The conference provided par­ ticipants with facts on criminal ,traffic in pornography, obscen­ ity laws, rights of citizens under the First Amendment to the Con­ stitution, U.S. Supreme Court de­ cisions in cases concerning morality and the media and the' theological implications involved I, in such matters.

It sought to offer a blueprint for diocesan and parish action in combating the $7 billion porno· graphic industry, which has be­ come a major moral and social issue in the nation.

Philadelphia Cardinal John Kral, keynote speaker at the three-day conference, said its aim was to involve the Catholic community in working for ef· fective enforcement of federal obscenity laws, passage of regu· latory legislation with regard to cable TV and eventual inclusion of cable TV under federal broad­ casting controls.

"This is a serious situation," said the cardinal. "While we must be concerned about many of the problems of the modern world, the need to combat porno­ graphy, obscenity and indecency is imperative.· We must mar· shal our forces to alert the pub· Iic to the steadily worsening situ­ ation and take effective means to mold public opinion. We must exert all our efforts to con­ tinue to be one nation under God."

Other speakers included addi­ tional church representatives, government and legal officials and members of the medical pro­ fession.

Speaking on the necessity of church involvement in combat­ ing pornography, Father Paul J. Murphy, SJ, of Morality in Media of Massachusetts, declared: "Two reflections confirm the urgency to confront public por­ nography. First, there is a built-in compulsion in the por­ nography industry to descend to ever viler sensationalism.

Now they are '''acing their sick presentations with blasphemy, using Christ and Our Lady and the most sacred symbols of faith in a context of blatant Just.

"Second, cablevision concen­ trates the pornographic malaise and wires it right into the domes· tic sanctuary with an immediacy of poisonous ini'luence hitherto unequalled.

"Many, indeed, will not wel­ come the voice of chastity. We can be sure that, as we speak for sexual dignity and discipline, we will meet the snarls of scorn and the rapiers of ridicule from the libertarian establishment.

"But millions of believers in God, millions of parents in love with their families, millions of children of vulnerable innocence and immaturity, will welcome the moral strength nnd leadership of a church commissioned by Christ to 'teach all that I have com-· manded you' - a church still proud to embrace the beatitude: 'Blessed are you when you are reviled or made a target of mali­ cious lies for my sake. Be glad and rejoice; for your reward is great in heaven. They persecuted the prophets 'before you in the very same way.'''

Laws ··affecting mohilehomes

By AnY.

ARTHUR

MURPHY

And AnY.

RICHARD MURPHY

Mobile homes aren't really all that mobile. One can think of all· sorts of homes more mobile than the alum­ inum and fiberglass structures which congregate in hundreds of residential parks around the state. Nomadic Somali tribes­ men can fold up their dwellings, hitch them to their camels and be on the road within the time it takes you tq read this column.

But a mobile home - in the dwelling built on legal sense, a chasis and containing complete electrical, plumbing, and sani­ tary facilities, and designed for

a

installation as permanent living quarters - presents formidable problems if you want it. to go anywhere. Ever tried to take a' mobile home around a slippery curve at' 45 miles per hour?

Tough, isn't it? Most mobile homes are so large that the state requires you to obtain a special permit if you want. to move one on,public streets. Of course, they are more mobile than apartment buildings and duplexes. But don't be deluded into thinking that just because a dwelling purports to be mobile its owner can blithely relocate it whenever he or she pleases. It jiJst isn't that easy..

So why buy a mobile home?

Why are 275,000 sold in the U.S. every year? One of the main reasons is that many people who can't afford houses can buy mo­ bile homes. 'The American Dream is a little less ambitious than it was 30 years ago: Many young adults today will not be able to own their own' houses. But mobile homes offer a relatively inexpensive alternative to years of exorbitant mortgage pay­ ments.

Most mobile homes are found in mobile home parks: ,groups of three or more units with electri­ cal, water and sewage facilities licensed and regulated by local boards of health. Although there '

are many advantages to living in a park, often a resident is in the curious legal situation of own­ ing his home but renting the lot on which it sits. This arrange­ ment necessitates a few special laws. , If you live in a mobile home park you must pay a monthly license fee of between $6 and .$12. The law :requires the park owner to collect the fee from each mobile home 'owner or oc­ cupant in his park at the end of each month. He or she turns over the fe~s to the local tax collector~ Once you pay this fee ,your unit - and any repairs or additions to it ­ is exempt from propertY' taxation. Thus mobile home owners save both on mort­ gage and on property tax pay­ ments.

The law authorizes your park owner to establish rules pertain­ ing'to rental and occupancy of his lots. No rule may be un­ reasonable or unfair. Before you rent a lot from a park owner he or she must show you a copy of the terms of your occupancy.

The terms should include the amount of your rent, an itemized list of charges and fees and the park's rules and regulations.

Both you and the owner must sign this copy.

While the law' requires you to

observe the park's rules, it does clude from the park a prospec­ not ordain that you must put tive buyer of your mobile home up with arbitrary or unjust treat­ if that buyer meets the current 'ment by the park owner. A park rules of the park. owner is not a :king and you are A fair and helpful park opera­ not his subject.

_t\rchbisho}l Qu'illn sees positive response to stll(ly

By NC News Service ' Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco thinks the reaction of U.S. bishops and Religious to the Vatican-mandated study of Religious now taking place across the country is "rather universally positive."

The archbishop sa'id in an in­ terview that he has received "in­ terim reports" on the process from most of the dioceses in the country.

In the Fall River dioceSe a general meeting of religious brothers and sisters with Bishop Daniel A. Cronin was held April 3 to discUss the study. It was followed by regional meetings at Bishop Feehan, Bishop Connolly and Bishop Stang high schools. '

He asked the bishops to send him in­ terim .reports on their progress

by May 15.

Interviewed earlier this month, Archbishop Quinn said that "I haven't yet had the opportunity to study" the more than 100 re­ ports he has received.

But "my general, overaH im'­ pression is that the reaction has been very positive," he said.

New leprosy treatment found

Charges youth exploited

hy pop culture

BOSTON (NC) - American pop culture is responsible for the "gross and greedy exploitation of American youth," said retired television critic Anthony La­ Camera, who criticized the news media's "general failure" to scrutinize pop culture as they do other issues.

The news media today "not only ·go along with trends like punk rock or shock comedy; they play them up as attractions for those who succumb too easily to trends," LaCamera said at a Boston College breakfast.

"Ask certain media folk why they'~e not more critical of pop trends and they tell you: It's not our function to judge.' Good­ ness knows, they judge and take sides on just about everything else that goes around us."

LaCamera, who was a tele­ vision columnist-critic for the Boston Herald American for 30 years, called for "public ,indigna­ tion, in and out of the media, over what is taking place all around us."

"We are absolutely right to be indignant about social injustices, poverty, stupid wars, nuclear build-up and our physical en­ vironment," he said. "But since we are supposed to be intelli­ gent beings, the quality of our cultural and sociological environ­ ment is extremely important too.

"I feel sure that many of you react with me to the gross and greedy exploitation of American youth," he said. "This is a na­ tional scandal to which our media are not rendering adequate' judgment."

LaCamera said people should be .concerned because pop cul­ ture "strikes the young at their most impressionable years, when the potential for learning, for appreciation, for discriminating should be developed and isn't."

The news media, he said, "wring their corporate hands over the deplorable decline in American education, over the spread of reading disabilities and over the decrease in SAT scores."

But, he added, they fail to see pop culture as one possble cause of these problems.

According to LaCamera, ex­ amples of exploitation can be found in current motion pictures, music and cable television.

Teen-oriented movies, such as "Porky's," "Risky Business" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," "deal with such laughable situa· tions as unashamed voyeurism, the eager ogling of the opposite sex, juvenile attempts at con­ quest and cheap gags," he said.

In pop music "we have gone from the pelvic grindings of Elvis Presley to the boy-girl and transvestite images shrewdly be­ ing pus~ed by several current rock performers," he said. "In music and in performance we encountitr more frenetic sounds, wilder ~nd dirtier lyrics, more hostility; greater violence, weird­ er exhibitis>nism, gratuitous reo belliousness, unlimited ugliness."

LaCamera also criticized cable

Father Paul F. McCarrick, pas­ tor of St. Joseph's Church, Fall River, was guest of honor at a reception held earlier this month by the Bishop Connolly High School Century Club.

Father McCarrick, diocesan director of Catholic Youth Or­ ganization activities, is a long­ time supporter of higher educa­ tion, aiding many young people to attend college or other insti­ tutes of advanced education.

He was unanimously chosen for recognition and reception of a testimonial. plaque by the board of directors of the Century Club, a support organization for Connolly High School. The board is headed by Msgr. Anthony M.

Other techniques for combating leprosy are being developed in various countries, the academy said after a Vatican conference on "Immunology, Epidemiology and Social Aspects of Leprosy."

One discovery uses antibodies to detect leprosy in its early stages, identify people suscepti­ ble to the disease and control its transmission, the statement said.

Preliminary work in gene­ splicing, the group added, could lead to' development of new drugs and vaccines for combat. ting leprosy.

The research "may have broad

and exciting implications in the understanding of man's immune system and in the study of such diseases as cancer, multiple sclerosis and AIDS," the acad­ emy said, adding that with gov­ ernment support, the new tech­ niques should "render leprosy a disease that can not only be cured, but prevented."

Leprosy, a disease character-' ized by skin lesions and nerve paralysis, afflicts an estimated 10 million to 12 million people, mostly in A'sia, Africa and Latin America.

People count,'

By Cecilia, Belanger We live in a time 'when people feel like faceless statistics,' a number. on ,a computer. They are being toldth~t their work will be done by It:obots and tha~ even their body parts will. be replace­ able.

Many feel they are becoming dehumanized. Where will it end,

they 'ask. Does anyone really count or are we giving in to the gods of technology?

But the Christian knows that people do count. Christ assures us that each of us counts im­ measurably and can do wonder­ ful things.

When I was teaching Christian doctrine, I found that the, story of ~he multiplication of' the ~oaves and fishes was very popu­ lar. I think it was because it sMws the importance of a Uttle boy and demonstrates that you can be in a crowd, yet not be faceless or unnoticed.

Just 'as the boy counted among 5,000 people, so 'did his few loaves and fishes. Perhaps that boy had been feeling insignifi­ cant in that large crowd. But, he was singled out. ' Again .and ,again the gospeis tell us about people who are singled out, ~alked to. If you've

What people say doesn't matter.

Jesus never said yOu were un­ important and his is the voice that counts.

No one who reads his words can feel faceless. The story of the loaves and fishes shows us that he works through people.

In other words, he let the little >boy feed the ~owd. " That is creative love, the sign of a loving Christ. Surely those people in the crowd, fed by the li~tle boy's lunch, must have looked at, him diffe~ntly from then on" for hadn't he been singled out?

But the song also seems to suggest that the race is a soli­ - tary' affair. Are other runners only competition that may set ahead of us?

What might be gained by siow­ ing down the race?

1. It might proV'ide a chance to meet other runners. Some may pass by, whizzing on to­ wards their own goals. Yet with others we may create a bond of friendship.

• Being too busy for friends may mean a person is running too , fast.•Is the pursuit of goals worth the price of loneliness?

2. Much can be gained by taking a few detours. Such an attitude allows people to experi­ ment, to try new ideas or ap­ proaches, to bring more spon­ taneity into life~ Choosing to make a detour re­ quires common sense, however.

Not every idea is worth pur­ suing, yet taking time to read that new book, meet new people or try out different interests ­ such choices renew our enthusi­ asm for life.

3. Slow down for God. Our race for success may end up nowhere if we go so fast that we don't have time for God. What do we real'ly gain if we cross the finish line without God? Sometimes we need to slow down and assess what part God lias in our lives.

Now is the time to look over , the journey through time. Are you really enjoying the trip? Do you ,have a clear vision of where you are headed? Are you meet­ ing others along the way?

New Films "Ghostbusters" (Columbia) Three parapsychologists (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis), bounced from Columbia University because of their du­ bious teaching activities, become ghost exterminators, choosing a propitious moment, since all hell is about to break loose, quite literally. In the film's climax, they wield proton accelerators in a supernatural shootout with the forces of darkness atop an Art Deco apartment house on Central Park West. Thanks mainly to Bill Murray, there are some very funny moments but about midway, spectacular special effects begin to dominate and the humor fades. However, this is a fairly good comedy for mature viewers. Because of some rihald jokes it is rated A3, PG. "Gremlins" (Warners) A kindly but ne'er-do-well inventor (Hoyt Axton) buys a cute, little crea­ ture as a Christmas present for his son Billy (Zach Galligan).

He's cautioned not to expose it to strong light, not to get it wet and never feed it after mid­ night. He brings the creature home to a Disneylike town whose tranquility is shattered when :the prohibitions are viola­ ted, and his son's pet produces as offspring savage lit.tle mon­ sters bent on mindless mischief and mayhem. This is a nasty and 'tasteless little movie, full of sick jokes and violence. (An em­ battled mother pulverizes one of the little wretches in the blender, decapitates another with a bread knife and explodes a third in a mirowave oven.) Because of the violence, it is rated A'3, iPG. "Star Trek m: The Search rOl' Spook" (Paramount) This third adventure of the old Enterprise gang is considerably better than its predecessors. Directed by Leonard Nimoy and written by Harve Bennett, it involves the efforts of Adm. James Kirk (Wil­ liam Shatner) and his crew to return to the planet Genesis, resting place of Capt. Spock (Leonard Nimoy), who gave his life to save the spaceship in the last outing on the chance that he might somehow be restored to life. Their own military bureau­

cracy and some heavy-breathing Klingon pirates stand in their way. But, old pros that they are, they surmount all obstacles on the way to a grand and solemn climax on Spock's home planet Vulcan - presided over by no less a person than Judith Ander­ son, who seems to have lost none of the authority she brought to Medea long, :long ago.

"Trekkies" weaned on the razzle-dazzle of "Star Wars" might find things a bit too seri­ ous but "Star Trek III" proves that it is possible to be both en­ tertaining and civilized, a rare accomplishment these ·days. A2.

PG' , "Streets of Fire" (Universal) Described as a "rock and roll fable," this is a listless and bor­ ing effort about a brooding out­ sider of a hero (Michael Pare) who rescues a rock star (Diane Lane, a talented actress utterly lost here, as well she might be) from a gang' of bikers with the help of a straight-shooting female sidekick (Amy Madigan, another talented' a'ctress wasted). Be­ cause of a homosexual dance sequence and the film's violence, it is rated A3, PG. Films on TV Saturday, June 23, 8:30-11 p.m. EDT (CBS) - "The Fury" (1978) - Kirk Douglas plays a man who tries to rescue his son from . a sinister government agency that wants to use the boy's psychic powers.

O,R Wednesday, June 27, 9·11 p.rn'. EDT (CBS) - "Atlantic City" (1981) - An aging mob­ ster underling (Burt Lancaster), living in penury in Atlantic City, becomes involved with a young woman (Susan Sarandon) when her husband enlists his help in selling stolen heroin. After gang­ sters kill the woman's husband, the old man is left with the money and tries to impress her before the kiUers come looking for him. This offbeat adult en­ tertainment benefits immensely from its powerful evocation of its tawdry .locale and several fine performances. The involve· ment of heroin and the dubious morality of most of the princi­ pals make this stnctly adult fare. A3, R
