WASHINGTON-Massachusetts' Third District may be the bestrepresented in the country. Although it is currently represented byRepublican Peter Blute, it is being shadowed by the man who wants totake his job next November, Jim McGovern.

McGovern is not your typical challenger. Only 34 years old, healready has more experience on Capitol Hill than most members ofCongress. His Rolodex includes powerful friends like White Housesenior adviser George Stephanopoulos and Communications DirectorMark Gearan - both of whom have planned campaign appearances onhis behalf. Perhaps more important, he will be running with the help ofhis boss for the past 13 years-Rep. Joe Moakley, D-Mass., chairmanof the powerful House Rules Committee.

TWQ years after voters' anti-incumbency fervor elected self-proclaimed "outsiders" like BIute in a historic turnover in Congress, acoilection of well-connected insiders are planning their revenge. AIthough this year promises another large turnover on Capitol Hill, manyof those running are congressional staffers like McGovern who seek touse their intimate knowledge of Capitol Hill as a stepping stone tohigher office.

Although each election cycle brings with it a new crop of staffercandidates, rarely are there as many viable ones as this year. BesidesMcflovern, staffers are considered serious candidates in several upcoming elections: In Oklahoma, Democrat Dan Webber, the 28-yearold press secretary to Sen.' David Boren, DeOkla., is the leading. .

candidate to fill the seat recently vacated by Rep. Glenn English wholeft to takea position with an interest group. In Illinois, Republican RayLaHood, chief of staff to House Minority Leader Robert Michel, isleadingthe field of candidates who waritto replace his retiring boss; andin Maryland, Neil Dhillon a former staffer for Rep. Robert Matsui, DCalif., is gearing up to run against freshman Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, RMd. Other examples abound in both parties.

Ina chamber where senior staffers often wield nearly as much poweras their bosses, staffer-candidates like McGovern enjoy considerableadvantages in fund raising over other challengers. In the case ofMcGovern,hisCapitol Hill experience has already allowed him to showhis clout to the voters of the third district.

His.chance came last fall when he played a pivotal role in securing$1.4 million in federal funds for the Worcester-based Massachusetts

Biotechnology Research Institute. Although Blute had met with aninstitute representative on several occasions, he was surprised to learnthat thegrant had been awarded. He waseven more surprised to find outwho was taking credit for it in his local paper-McGovern.

"It was a bit disconcerting," Blute now says oflearning that his likelyopponent next fall had already delivered a project to his district. "Iwould say it's certainly strange to be in meetings here in Washingtonand haveone of the people at those meetings obviously running againstyou," BIute told our associate Jan Moller.

McGovern,on theother hand, is unapologetic when called an insider."I'll take ~title if you take the definition," he said. (An insider is)"someone who knows the process,and in the end can deliver. In mymind it's .a waste to send someone to Capitol Hill who can't doanything." .

McGovern,who remains on the Rules Committee staff-albeit outofMoakley's Boston office-until the end of this month, is getting plentyof help in "doing something." Besides the help of his influential boss,McGovern's name has been circulated to potential political actioncommittee donors by Democratic officials who list Blute as one of themost vulnerable incumbents this fall.

Rep.David Levy, R-N.Y., another freshman, understands better thanmost the perils and profits of running against a staffer. Two years ago,he narrowly beat Phil Shiliro, a top aide to longtime Rep. HenryWaxman, D-Calif.-a key player in the health care debate-in a race tofill an open seat. Although much of Shiliro' s fund raising came fromWaxman's support network, Levy believes hisopponent's Washingtonexperience ultimately hurt him with the voters, a notion Shiliro disputes.

The first time was ina Capitol Hill hallway. The second time was at last summer's baseballAll-Star game in Baltimore, to which all members of Congress wereofferedtickets.

Theotherspecial featureof theAgreement pertainsto the902 forum where every tenyears, the twogovernmentswould sitdown andreviewtheirrelationship withtheviewto improving upon areaswhere one or theotheror both seemed to have been negligent. Appropriately,we shouldguizourselves whetherin fact we have liveduptoourendof thiscommitment. Iamsure you'll alireethattheanswer isNO! Ifyoudisagree, perhapsyouoUlihtto answer the following concerns:

I.) Why have wene~lected ourobliliationundertheterms of the Covenant Agreement to improvethe standardof living forourpeople? 2.) Whyhaveweallowedourselves to legislate for the few while regulatin~ themasses? 3.) Isn't this pathetic phenomenon a completesurrender to catering to the needs of special interestgroups overthe welfare ofourveryownpeople?4.) Isn'tthisshift,if not, neglect ofourresponsibility adangerouscourseofaction? 5.) Finally, when do webegincomingofageso thatwecould.jointly institute responsibility andaccountability in government? Well, I am sure you toohave yourowngripes and it would be good if youcouldshare them with our people.

The 902 forum is also the appropriate venue uponwhich wecould encourage meaningful discussions onsuch issuesas the 20() mileexclusiveeconomiczone. Itisa foru mthat isn' textended toother terri tories, including the fifty states in the union. The CNMI mustcapitalizeupon it and weigh its strengthversusthatofanon-voting delegate. Inotherwords,wecan't haveboththe 902 forum and a non-voting delegate at the sametime. It's either one or theother. If we push'fora nonvoting delegate inCongress, we wouldhave weakenedthe 902 Forum. If we delay consideration of a nonvoting delegate, we would have strengthened the 902Forum upon which we could still discuss mutual concerns that wouldotherwisebe difficult to pursue undera non-voting delegatestatus, i.e., the 200 Mile EEZ.

Though our relationship with the federal government i.s.n·t ~s congenial as it used to be, I dare say that itIS self-inflicted with no one else to blame except ourselYes. L~t' shope that this stormy relationshipwouldsoon subSide and returnonce more to normalcy. Yes.we mal' mend differences by our putting up with ourshareof lhebargain. Butthetreasurethatwe ysedtQseeat the end of the tunnel is no lon~er there. It has goneto other deserving fellow citizens who were recently afflicted by natural disasters. Well, myb~lated happy Covenant Day and may the lessonsof recent years be our guide in strengthening andpermanently fostering a responsible and accountable CNMI Government. Let us take a prQactiveand constructive approach to resolvine ~ur;roblems. However difficult these decisions may be.we can rest assured :lQwever that down the stretchwe ~.?uld be able to see greater returns Qn thesaCrIfIces we make today. Thanks,

Sixteen yearsagoyesterday. Uncle Samandourlegendary UncleTagajoinedhandsandembarked ona long journey, a journey both believed would bemutually beneficial to each of them. Uncle Tagaaccepted and agreed that the long trip. be navigatedusing modern technology overtraditional methods ofnavigation. Thus the founding of a relationship andthe beginning of a newera in the political history ofthe Northern Mariana Islands.

The Covenant Agreement included several features that are not necessarily given to other flagterritories like Guam. American Samoa, the VirginIslands and Puerto Rico nor the states in the union.These features are the envy of these territories. Forinstance. theagreement included guaranteed fundingforthe first sevenyears.Thisprovision remains intactunless the US Congress changes it. That we havebeengrossly negligent in this area.Congress is nowthreatening to end multi-year funding by as early as1995.

The multi-year fi nancial assistance was dedicatedtowards thebuilding of needed basic infrastructure such as water. power. sewer. schools. roads.hospital, airandseaport facilities, etc.throughout theislands intheCNM I. TheseIacil ities arc important inbuilding a strong economic base upon which wecouldgenerate sufficient revenue togradually payforour needs. Somehow. we'velostsightof thepurposeof these funds aimed at improving the standard ofliving of our indigenous people.

We've openedour ports to non-citizen workersbeyond CNMI/US ability to build therelJuired basicinfrastructure tomeetthisexpanded need. Asitis.thenon-citizen population isnearly as large. ifnot,largerthan theindigenous population. Intheprocess, we'vesimply neglected our responsibility under the CovenantAgreement to improve theeconomic lot ofourpeople. Wehavedivertedourattention from legislating to regulating the masses in order to further empower the"wefew"richpeople here. It illustrates thefact that we have yet to come of age and have lostfocus on what our responsibi Ii tiesareunder the termsof theagreement.

For instance. there's nowa piece of legislationwhich would reliefany investment above$2 Millionfrom currentDEQ, CRM,ZoningandBuilding Coderequirements. This isexactlywhat I amsayin!! aboutlegislating forthefewwhileregulating themasses.

METZLER & Associates' report on CommonwealthUtilities Corporation profiles the utility firm as havingovercome serious operating problems it inherited in 1987,the year when it was formed.

From scratch, it was able to grow and did an impressivejob of expanding the 'Ievel of services to its customers.From inadequate services, it was able to progress to thepoint where it can now meet existing electric demands ina reliable manner.

Of course, its mistakes should not be overlooked. Itneeds improvement in many areas such as customerservice, maintenance and customer relations. Fromhere, the utility company, can move forward, do betterservice and "clean up" its own structure.

The people of the CNMI, although said to be skepticaltowards CUC., need the company very much. Whilesome areas do not have water or electricity, the commonwealth cannot survive without these utilities which usedto be a dream before.

However, CUC neither can improve its services noraddress its own mess if outside forces continue to meddleinits own affairs.

The firing of three Board members is yet to be determined if the drastic action was legal. While the controversy is still going on, here comes another one.

Legislators and those from the Executive branch are atpresent engaged in war of words over CUC appointments. This friction will go on as long as no one learnshow to listen and give way.

It's not a question of who is right or who is wrong, butwhat needs to be done now that CUC is in such apredicament - no board and soon, no executive director.

How can you expect to have a reliable utility firm whenit is not given a chance to chart its own course? Oh, yesit needs the guidance of the executive and the monitoringof the legislature. But somehow, both parties have goneso far and forgot about CUC's autonomy.

Because of this meddling and heckling on the appointments plus the rhetorics that have only aggravated theconfrontation rather than resolving the issue, CUC is leftin limbo.

From a very "powerful" corporation due to its vitalservices, CUC is reduced to a powerless entity thanks tothe attacks and fights from all sides.

Give cue a break, please. The legislature and theexecutive branch can perform their authority over cuewithout trampling its right to move forward and too muchintervention.

Traditional Asian healing clash with modern medicineButdespite thepharmacy's tra

The herbalists have tried to wina ban on Western-style pharmacies selling herbal cures, sayingthey alone should be allowed todispensethem. Alaw takingeffectthissummerwillrestrictsuchsalesin the next few years, but not haltthem outright.

The Oriental doctors say theyaccept that there are instanceswhen a patient will seek modemmedical care. Herbalists, for example, cannot prescribe antibiotics, although they have preparations they say help patients resistinfections before the fact.

Much traditional Orientalmedicine originated inChina, butdown through the centuries, Korea has made contributions including a 16th-century masterpiece, a 25-volume herbal encyclopedia. And the Koreanclimateisconsidered the best forgrowingginseng, regarded asa cure-all forailments from toothache to epilepsy.

Kang holds that Orientalmedicine's philosophical underpinnings - the dualistic forces ofyin and yang, the belief that thebody contains the primordial elements of the universe - give traditional cures a spiritual dimensionmodern medicine lacks.

The conflict could all comedown to the clash of old and newin a country that has undergonerapidsocialandeconomicchangesbut retains a deep respect for tradition.Divination,geomancy andshamanistic rites are still commonly practiced in South Korea.

When you buy a car, you consider not only the price but how much gas the carwill need. When you buy appliances, you should also consider how much energy it willtake to run them.

Compare the yellow Energy Guide labels for similar appliances before you buy.They show how much you will spend yearly to operate the appliances. And, they rate theappliance's efficiency numerically- the higher the number, the more efficient theappliance and the less you pay in energy bills.

Remember, an energy-efficient model may cost more, but can pay you back inenergy savings down the road.

Look for Energy Guide labels. They help you make the most energy-efficient andeconomically sound decision. :

Big banks. ., .

raise primerateNEW YORK (AP) • Several bigbanks hiked the prime lendingrate to 6.25 percent Wednesdayfrom 6 percent, the first increasein that interest rate in more thanfive years.

Norwest Corp. of Minneapoliswas the first to raise the prime, abase lending rate usedbybankstodetermine a range of other consumer loans, includingcreditcardinterest rates and personal loans.

Chemical Bank, the Bank ofNew York and BaneOnequicklyfollowed. Other banks were 'ex-,pected to match the increase.

The increase came one day after the Federal Reserve's secondmove this year to raise interestrates throughout the economy.The central bank aimsto forestalla rise in inflation by increasingthe cost of borrowing.

It was the first increase in theprime since Feb. 24, 1989,whenbigbanks raiseditfrom 11 percentto 11.5percent. After thatthe ratemoved steadily lower and hadstood at the prevailing rate of 6percent since July 2, 1992.

Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., alarge bank in New York,droppedit to 5.5 percent last October, butthe decrease was ignoredby mostother banksbecauseMorgandoesnot lend to consumers. The bankraised it back to 6 percent March17.

OnTuesday, theFedsaid it wastaking steps to push up a shortterm interest rate known as thefederal funds rate from 3.25 percent to 3.5 percent. The federalfunds rate istheovernightlendingrate among banks and is considered a benchmark level for abank's cost <If short-term borrowing.

It was the second time the Fedhad nudged that rate higher sinceFeb. 4, when the rate rose from 3percent to 3.25 percent.

Economists anticipatedtherisein the federal funds rate wouldbefollowed by increasesinratesthatmore directly affect consumers.

Brown said, "While monthly figures may fluctuate, most economic trends still indicatethat weare in a period of sustained economic growth."

Some economists expectgrowth to be slowed further bythe Federal Reserve Board's decision to boost interest rates forthe second time this year. Thecentral bank, seeking to head offinflation, pushed its target for thefederal funds rate - the interestthat banks charge each other - upa quarter percentage point to 3.5percent.

Kodakpatent for:magneticrecordingsystem. isrejectedROCHESTER,N.Y.(AP)·SonyCorp. has scored a knockdown ina high-stakes patent dispute withEastman Kodak Co. over a magnetic recording system used incamcorders and videocassette recorders.

The U.S.PatentandTrademarkOffice said Wednesday it has invalidatedKodak's 1981 patentforthe technology, now in wide use.At stake are tens of millions ofdollars in royalties, analysts said.

"This looks to be a lost opportunity," said Nicholas Heymann,an analyst with NatWest Securities Corp. in New York City.

In February 1993, Kodak suedtheJapaneseelectronicscompanyanditsU.S.subsidiary, SonyCorp.of America, for allegedly violating the patent. Prior toWednesday's ruling, a trial hadbeen tentatively set to begin inTexas in mid-June.

However, Sony asked for a reexamination of the patent, arguing that similartechnologywasinthe public domain for years before Kodak claimed exclusiverights to it.

Kodak has two months to respond to the patent office's ruling, issued March IS, and itpledged to do so. "We expect thatsome, if not all, of the claims willbe found to be patentable," saidKodak spokesman Paul Allen.

Kodak marketed 8mmcamcorders briefly in the mid1980s but has never made widecommercial use of the technology. The photographic productscompany now faces the prospectofhavingitspatenteitheramendedor revoked entirely, said patentofficespokesman GilWiedenfeld.

If Kodak should succeed in itsappeal - and its lawsuit - otherVCR companies would probablyfall in line on royalty payments,saidRobertGerson,editor inchiefof Twice, a consumer electronicstrade magazine.

"You're certainly talking tensof millions in annual royalties,"he said. "You've got to come upwith a settlement realistic to whatthe industry isworth ...but it verywell could be moot at this point."

The 1981 patentwas issued fora recording head that can operate15 millionths of an inch from thesurface of tape or disc, therebyproducing the highest-qualityvideo images. Kodakalso has secured patents for the technologyin Japan and Europe.

James U. Lemke, a scientist atKodak's Spin Physicssubsidiaryin San Diego, which Kodak acquired in 197'2, invented the recording head in the 1970s.

"It was considered a majorpatent in the industry," Gersonsaid. "The technologywasdeveloped independently in the UnitedStates andJapan.The question is,'Who ownsit?' or 'Does anybodyown it?"

him," said longtime teammateJames Worthy. "My job doesn'tchange. We have a lot of young'players and that's where his mainconcern lies, I'm sure."

Worthy said he learned ofRandy Pfund's firing andJohnson's hiring late Tuesdaynight.

"Obviously, like everyone else,I was shocked. Nothing surprisesme any more, however. It's notthe first time I've experiencedsomething like this. That's part ofthe business," Worthy said.

Veteran James Edwards said ofJohnson, "He knows the game.He's been watching us all yearlong. He should be able to stepright in."

Edwards said he thinksJohnsonlikeSan Antonio SpurscoachJo~Lucas, probably will be on thecourt in pre-game drills, shootingbaskets and warming up with theplayers. But he said he doubtsJohnson will be a player-coach inthe NBA.

What Edwards said surprisedhim the most was the timing ofthe move.

"After being in the league 17years, nothing really surprises me,but I thought 'we were playingwell the last eight or nine games.Now we just have a month leftand we are going to have to makesome adjustments," he said.

Vlade Divac said Johnson "wasmy coach even when he was aplayer here. I' In happy on onehand for him, but sad on the otherhand for Randy."

"Magic knows a lot of basketball. He's going to be a greatcoach," Divac added.

Assistantcoach BillBertka,whowas to lead the Lakers Wednesdaynight in Dallas and tomorrow inHouston, said he lookedforwardtoworking under Johnson.

"I think he's going to be a greatcoach. His mentality has alwaysbeen that of a coach even whenhewas aplayer.On timeouts,hecouldtell each player how that playerwasbeingdefcnsed,whatwasgoing011. He knew what wasgoingononthecourtalJ the time.Hewasunique111 thatrcgard.1neversawinanotherplayerthc abilityto knowwhatwasgoing-onon the court at all times,"Bertka said.

My prediction about the 1994Games? TheTerritory of Guamwilldominate thegames. Theyarepowerful inBasketball,Baseball,Volleyball,Softball, andTableTennis. Andthat'sbecause they have superb facilities,good coaching, and a fairly decent,consistent scheduling of numerousgames all throughout the year.
