Governor Jesus C. Borjaon Janu­ary 24 this year, overhauled theentire CNMI tax system to boostrevenue collections.

This was being done throughrate increases in CNMI taxes, i.e.excise, liquid fuel, earnings, userfees, etc. The new law also low­ered rebates to taxpayers.

Early projections indicatedgov­ernment could easily raisean addi­tional $30 million per year underthe new tax system. With a $235million budget being looked at itseems projections aremuchrosier.

Asked where the bigger budgetappropriations will go, Tenoriosaid education.

The Education sector wants an­other $20 million, we're going toinclude that in the budget. If theLegislature does not want, theycan reduce it. Or if they want togive it to them, they have to findthe funding for it," said the gover­nor.

For deficit reduction, Tenoriosaid he is including some $I3 mil­lion in his budget.

PERSPECTIVE

ernor is required to consult withmembers of the Council and seekmembers' participation in thepreparation of a Commonwealthbudget.

The council is made up of themayors of Rota, Tinian, Saipanandthe NorthernIslands;thechair­men of the municipal councils ofeach senatorial district and the ex­ecutive assistant for CarolinianAffairs.

Yesterday's meeting,whichwasscheduled at4:00p.m. at theCoralOcean Point Resort Club report­edly pushed through. As of presstime, however, details about themeeting were not yet available.

The $235 million budget beinglooked at by the governor appearsto be a steep increase from the$ I 90 million currently appropri­ated for fiscal year 1995, but suchan increase could be expected he­cause of the surge in revenue col-lection. ,.-

The CNMI government is cur­rently looking at rosy projectionsin terms of revenues and internalresources for the coming year oryears ahead due to the recent en-

WASHINGTON MERRY~GO-ROUND

Drug dealers' lawyerscom.e 'under scrutinyWASHINGTON-The criminal probe into Willie Falcon andSal Magluta has all the elements of a screenplay: murderedwitnesses, sports cars, bottles ofDom Perignon, million dollarspeedboats and lots of cocaine.

Charged in 1991 with smuggling 75 tons of cocaine intoMiami during the 1980s, the two flamboyant powerboat racersstand accused of running the largest cocaine delivery organi­zation in U.S. history.

But as the pair's trial approaches, federal agents are exarrun­ing a less-publicized aspect of the case that symbolizes agrowing trend: lawyers who allegedly cross the line from legalrepresentation to aiding and abetting drug smugglers.

With increasing frequency, the government ispursuing law­yers who act as "house counsel" to smugglers by giving themadvice on how to hide their drug assets and thwart investiga­tors. "It's definitely one of the new prosecutorial toys of the'90s," formerMiami assistant U.S. attorney Mike Pasano toldus.

Not surprisingly, it has much of Miami's drug defense barrunning scared. "(Handling drug cases) has become an occu­pational hazard," says Miami attorney Fred Schwartz. "It's acottage industry here for (criminals) to make'up stories on theirlawyers. They know prosecutors would rather get a big nameattorney than some low-level dealer."

Defense attorneys point to the unprecedented raids on fiveMiami law firms last September. No charges have been filed,but several lawyers involved in the case are suspected ofactingas house counsel to members of the Cali drug cartel.

Law enforcement officials dismiss claims they are unfairlytargeting these lawyers. And they note tha.t several rnemJx:rs ofthe "white powder" bar have been convicted of drugcnmesover the years.

In the case against Falcon and Magluta,the focus of theinquiry is Miami attorney Mark Dachs, who served as theircounsel during much of the 1980s. Dachs acknowledges thathe is the target of an ongoing criminal probe, but he notes thatno charges have been filed against him.

One Drug Enforcement Administration report obtained byour associate Dean Boyd alleges that Dachs was using cocaine .'at Falcon's ranch in 1985 while instructions werebeing radi­oed to Falcon's accomplices, who were importing a shipmentof cocaine. According to the DEA report, Dachs allegedly'~oked, covered up his ears and stated that he shouldn't belistening to all of this." Dachs declined to comment on thespecifics of the report.

The report also features Dachs accepting a drug financed redLamborghini from an alleged smuggler associated with Fal­con and Magluta. Federal agents later seized the $110,000vehicle.

After reviewing law enforcement reports on Dachs, MiamiU.S. District Judge Federico Moreno barred him from the case.When Dachs later tried to attend a hearing as a member of thegeneral public, the judge ordered him out of the courtroom.

Prominent Boston attorney Joseph Oteri is another lawyerinvolved in the case who has come under a cloud. AlthoughOteri is cited in a DEA report as a lawyer who Falcon allegedlyrelied upon to "protect smuggling groups in the Miami area,"he denies any wrongdoing.

"I was like a virgin in the case," says Oteri. "I played itextremely safe." Nevertheless, Oteri acknowled~es that hesent Falcon and Magluta invitations to his daughter s wedding.The invitations were among the items seized at a Falcon andMa~lutahouse in Los Angeles.

It s unclear whether Oteri is under investigation, but he has. been disqualified from the case. Oteri's partner, who currently~epr7sents Magluta, has been forced, to . erect ~ so-called'Chinese Wall" so the two attorneys can t communicate on the

trial.Oteri told us that any allegations against him stem from a

former drug client who cooperated with the government toreduce his sentence: "I know the guy hates me, and when theseguys become government witnesses, they'll say anything tosave their hide."

SPEAKER PHONE - House Democratic leaders recently.enjoyed their first good belly-laugh in the four melancholymonths since the Republican landslide.

During a closed-door meeting, Minority Leader RichardGephardt said that he had been unable to reach Speaker NewtGingrich the previous day to workout some housekeepingmatters. Gingrich's office told Gephardt that the speaker wasunavailable all day- "including for the president of theUnited States;"

The reason: Gingrich had an urgent meeting with GOPpoliticians and P?llsters to figure c:mtwhy ther weren't gettingenough credit WIth voters for their early achievements,

50 I and 805 may be modified with the consent of bothgovernments. This provision pertains to the right to self­government, formulation of our Constitution, Citizen­ship, applicability of US laws and land alienation. Everyother provision rests under the so-called unilateral au­thority of our national government including immigra­tion, minimum wage, labor, taxation, etc. In more waysthan one, we've been very fortunate that we are the onlyjurisdiction under the federal system ~ranted virtualfederal authority denied the states and territories in theunion. This is the unique'ilspect of the Covenant Agree­ment.

The "Equal Protection Clause" of the USConstitutionappliesout here. Therefore, anyone whosetsfoot intheseislands,citizen or non-citizen, is equallyprotectedbyourlaws. I had to bring this issue up front in that there's afallacious notion among our people that non-citizenswho are here legally for employment do not have thesame rights or that they should be treateddifferently. Nosir! They are equally protected just like citizens-youand I. If you haven't learned to accept this legal reality.do it now because non-citizens who enter the CNMIlegally have the same rights as you do. Excuse theredundancy.

Applicability of the territorial clause: While theCov-.enant Analysis defines that weare nota territory;wemustrevisit the US Constitution in that it only provides forstates and territories. There's no provision for the so­called "commonwealths" of the US. Therefore, for allintent andpurposes the CNMI is legally a territory.Though this was acknowledged by the US SupremeCourt, it also issued an instruction that the applicationofthe territorial clause be "used sparingly". This is so thatboth sides ensures that the integrity of the Covenant.Agreement is held intact.

If anything, I can sense that there's a lot of learningtodo in terms of reading and understanding the basicdocument which established our relationship with ourMotherCountry. The tennself-governmentdidn 't evolveout of a vacuum. It is fully supported by our aspirationand vote of confidence to secure some measureof politi­cal autonomy-under a US/CNMI Partnership. It simplymeans that we.must strengthen our individualandcollec­tive responsibilities as US Citizens in running a govern­ment "of the people, by the people and for the people".No longer can we transfer citizenship responsibility toothers. Ii is time that we account forour own actions. Wecan run, but we can never hide from taking full chargeofa citizen' s responsibility under "self-government".

Finally, we've welcomed Santa Clausevery year as hemakes his grand entry into our ports. He will no longerbe coming with presents in his canoe. No longer can'weperpetuate the cargo cult mentality. It's history! In short,the buck stops right here! It's time we embrace ourindividual andcollectivecitizenshipresponsibilities. Takea few moments and dwell upon what these responsibili­ties are all about. Happy Birthday CNMI!

Happy 20th Birthday Northern Marianas!Twenty years ago, former President Gerald Ford

signed the Covenant Agreement into US Public Law94-241 establishing a new' and permanent politicalrelationship between the CNMI and the US.. The event was heralded by a huge celebration

across these pearly isles for welcoming a new era inthe realization of self-government. After all thepomp and circumstance, I often question whether wereally understand our individual and collective re­sponsibilities underthis new relationship. My re­sponse then and now is a guarded affirmation.

In fiestas, fandango,baptismal and first holy com­munion parties, funeral and even fourth of July fes­tivities, people speak of entirely different interpreta­tions about sovereignty, land alienation, mutual con­sent, unilateral authority of the federal governmentunder the terms and conditions of Covenant, USCitizenship-specifically babies born of foreign an­cestry-equal protectionclause underthe USConsti­tution and whether the territorialclauseapplies in theCNMI.

It is rather sad that most indigenous people have amisconception and misperception of the terms andconditions of the Covenant Agreement. I don't quitemind ordinary citizens' lack of basic understandingof this agreement, but it certainly bothers this scribeto hear politicians advance all the wrong argumentson, i.e.,"internal sovereignty"andconstrue it tomeansovereignty. The right to self-government, yes! Wehave surrendered sovereignty under Section 101 toour national government-US of A. Mind you,sovereigntyor theultimatepoliticalauthority isneverdivided. It is solely the purview of our nationalgovernment. The CNMI, therefore, is a politicalsubserviency of the US.

The land alienation provision has been and still isthe most litigated issue under the Covenant Agree­ment. The founding fathers intended landownershipto people of "CNMI descent". It didn't define itbeyond the catch-all phrase "CNMI Descent". Al­though thefoundingfathersintendedit tobe inclusiveof all CNMI Descent, it left the responsibility ofdefinition to the delegates of the first CNMI Consti­tutionalConvention inwhat's known todayas ArticleXII. This' Constitutional provision excludes someCNMI Descent and others peculiarly situated quitecontrary to the intent of Section 805 of the CovenantAgreement. It warrants revision and refinement tostrengthen and fulfill theoriginal intentof the found­ingfatherson landownership. Mindyou, say a prayerto the late Dr. FranciscoT. Palacios for his foresightand for savin~ us from heing permanently displaced.

••••E!Who benefits with a ban

t}Jarianas ~rietr~

ALL THIS talk about the RP government planning to restrict thedeployment of workers to the CNMI is certainly a mind-blowingproposition.

Suddenly, we have a policy taking shape which could put both thePhilippines and the CNMI at an economic disadvantage.

The CNMI could indeed be it a loss here once the Philippinegovernment pushes through with its plan to stop sending maids,farmers and hospitality workers.

Not only do domestic workers provide for the necessary cushionthat enables CNMI households to double their income-earningcapacities, farmers and entertainment workers also lay the founda­tion for agriculture and tourism, "vital component industries both inthese pearly isles.

One could just imagine how many working mothers would haveto give up their jobs, stay at home and look after their households justbecause they could no longer get domestics to look after theirchildren while they work.

Also, imagine who will be left tilling the soil and harvesting thefruits of the earth if the hiring of farmers is restricted.

By then the CNMI may have no choice but to say goodbye toprospects of an agriculturally self-sufficient chain of islands andcould see itself perpetually reliant on imported produce.

Additionally, the fun and entertainment island tag for the CNMIcould also be no more if the nightclub industry is choked with a banon bar workers. We may end up losing our tourists to more excitingand more adventurous locales in the region.

The CNMI needs people, skills to keep the economic enginerunning.

But looking at the other side, the self-imposed ban could also beto the detriment of Filipinos. Not only will the.Manila governmentbe depriving its people of yet one more favored employmentdestination, it will be seriously reducing its dollar reserves.

One only needs to walk the streets of Manila to know that povertyreally exists.

Any inquisitive visitor could also discern the desperate need formore jobs in the Philippines judging from the long lines of jobseekers who are willing to spend days waiting just for that one'interview that could land them employment.

Income opportunities, employment is badly needed from thePhilippine end.

So why in heaven's name then would a ban be considered?It is because some people here have grown too insensitive to the

plight of alien workers. Some have already forgotten how peopleshould be treated equally and with justice regardless of where theycame from and their status.

There have also been too many instances whereby the lax enforce­ment of the law has made it difficult for these workers to get thejustice the law is supposed to have provided them.

Another culprit is the open-door policy that has led to a tremen­dous influx ofaliens, so big to handle thereby resulting to a less strictenforcement of the law and a higher probability of abuse.

On the other hand, there is also fault among workers, some ofwhom have placed financial considerations over and above truthful­ness and decency, resulting to complaints just for the economics ofit and often disregarding righteousness.

It is our belief that all of these, notwithstanding, the drastic opnonof a ban could still be avoided to everyone's benefit.

It would just be a matter ofcoming to the table resolute, concernedand determined to correct the mistakes of the past, while cognizantof the need to coexist.

Governor: Frankly, we need RP workers.

admitted the Commonwealth stillconsiders the Filipino labor poolas an important aspect of theCNMl economy and that he wouldstill want to see more Filipinoworkers recruited to support theneeds of more developmentprojects in the CNMI.

'The fact is that as our tourismindustry booms, it means that wehave to recruit more people.Frankly, I still would like to re­cruit from the Philippines. Butit's up to the RP Government todecide whether they would wantto send more of their people towork here," said Tenorio.

"I'd like to mention that major­ity of Filipinos are very goodworkers, unfortunately in somecases Iguess, we're at fault and sowe're looking into it," saidTenorio.

In past interviews though,Tenorio once said he would wantthe Philippine government to self­impose a moratorium on the dis­patch of workers if Manila offi­cials are not happy with the CNMIgovernment's efforts to curbabuses.

A set of implementing guide­lines on the ban is yet to be issuedbut Manila sources such a mora­torium may be inevitable at thispoint. Labor officials also say thelifting of the ban will be premisedon the adoption of protectivemechanisms to ensure Filipinoworkers are treated well here.

Asked whether 'he intends totalk the matter out with Philip­pine officials, Governor Tenorioindicated willingness duringyesterday's interview.

Tenorio: I don't like to see a banBy Rafael H. ArroyoVariety News StaffGOVERNOR Froilan C.

Tenorio yesterday said he wouldnot want to see a ban on workersfrom the Philippines as he seesCommonwealth businesses tocontinue to rely on them for theirlabor needs.

But on the other hand, ifthe banis pushed by the Manila govern­ment, the govemor said he wouldhave no choice but to accede tothat decision.

"Ofcourse, I don't like to see aban but if the Philippine govern­ment feels there 'sjustification forsuch a policy, then I have to re­spect any decision from the Phil­ippine Government," said the gov­ernor in an interview yesterday.

The planned ban on the deploy­ment of workers from the Philip­pines is being imposed as part ofrecommendations made by a fact­finding mission that was in theCNMI recently to check on alle­gations of labor abuses.

Although the mechanics andscope of the proposed ban is still

Amnesty said in its paper thatmany governments argued thatthe death penalty deterred violentcriminals "but evidence indicatedthat this was not the case."

It said crime rates in countrieswhere the death penalty was inforce did not fall and those whowere executed were all too fre­quently the poor or members ofdisadvantaged minorities.

NMI Labor Dep't did good -- CingTHE DEPARTMENT of Labor& Immigration has claimedprogress in its task of addressinglabor complaints iri the CNMI.

In a press statement issuedWednesday, Labor & Immigra­tion Secretary Raynaldo M. Cingindicated that his department hasbeen performing well, contrary tomedia reports that insinuate inac­tion over alleged labor complaints.

"I am verydismayed at the nega­tive impression ofthe Departmentof Labor and Immigration pre­sented by persons who have noactual knowledge of the function­ing or status of the work per­formed by this Department," saidCing.

"It seems that the negative pub­licity about the labor situation inthe CNMI is being generated byindividuals with their own per­sonal agendas who are not report­ing information accurately or con­structively, in order to assist inthe resolution ofthese problems,"he added ..

The secretary pointed Out thatmany of the accusations made inthe press regarding abuse andforced prostitution are criminal innature and can only be addressedby the Criminal Division of theAttorney General's Office.

He stressed that the Division ofLabor has jurisdiction over theNonresident Worker's Act andthe Minimum Wage Law, and canonly address those concerns aris­ing from the employer-employeerelationship.

By GEORGE GEDDA

WASHINGTON (AP). It's beenmorethan60yearssinceanAmeri­can president visited Haiti, andPresident Clinton will break thatdrought on Friday when he headsfor Port-au-Prince to celebrate arareforeign policy triumph.

Clinton will be joined by U.N.Secretary General Boutros­Boutros Ghali at a ceremony for­mally .transferring responsibilityto U.N. peacekeepers from theU.S.-led multinational force sentto Haiti last September. The U.N.force will be under the commandof U.S. Army Gen. Maj. JosephKinzer.

From a high of 22,000 troops,theU.S.military presencewilldroptoabout 2,400 by mid-April.Thatconstitutes less than half of theplanned6,OOQ-memberU.N.force,which will remain in Haiti untilnext February.

The U.N. concluded that a "safeandsecure"environmenthad beenestablishedinHaiti,permittingtheU.N.takeover.But crime has beenon the increase lately, highlightedbythe murder Tuesday of a politi­caloppositionleaderand,inasepa­rate incident, the wounding of anAmericanmissionary couple dur­ing a robbery.

A report by Human RightsWatch-Americasand theNationalCoalition forHaitianRefugeessaysthe U.N. will face "increasing po­litical tensionsand a serious secu­rity void." It says lawlessness istheresultof an ineffective interimpolice force drawn largely fromthe Haitian army.

Deputy National Security Ad­viserSandy Bergersays theplusesfar outweigh the minuses. "Haititoday is a nation where people arebuilding roads to get to marketratherthan boats to escape terror,"he says.

Not since President FranklinRoosevelt stopped in Haiti in thesummer of 1934 while sailing toHawaiihas an Americanpresidentset foot on Haitian soil; Clintonwill spend about nine hours inPort-au-Prince, meetingwithPresi­dent Jean-Bertrand Aristide andwith U.S. troops who helped re­storeAristidetopowerlast fall.Healso will deliver a speech.

In many other foreign policychallenges - Bosnia, China, Rus­sia and Somalia - the administra­tion has fallen short of policy ob­jectives. Haiti is one of the fewwhere Clinton can claim a bonafide - albeit fragile - success.

While there are no guaranteesthat Haiti's fledgling democracywill survive, the impression thatthe interventionhasgonesmoothlyis undeniable.Noneof thegloomy

trict Court was one of several inrecentyearstochallengetherightsof companies, which have longenjoyed favorable treatmentinJa­pan in legal issues such as hiringand defective products.

The court ordered a softwarecompany to rehire the virus car­rier, identified only as Mr. A, andpay him damagesof 6 million yen($68,000)andbacksalarytotaling9 million yen ($102,000).

The company learned of Mr.A's infection through a hospitalAIDStestthatwasconductedwith­out hisknowledge whenhewasonassignment at a company subsid­iary in Southeast Asia.

Mr. A was ordered back to Ja­pan, where he was told of his in­fection for the first time by thecompanypresident.Thecompany,whichalsowasnotidentified,firedMr. A shortly afterward, in Octo­ber 1992.

"With this decision, corporateattitudeswillhavetochange," saidMr.A's lawyer,Tsutomu Shimizu,who said it was the first suit inJapan broughtby an AIDS victimwho was fired.

.If victims of AIDS or other ill­nesses are able to work normally,Shimizu said, "companies can't .fire them."

The decisionwasone of severallandmark cases to go against cor­porationsinrecentyears.Lastyear,a court in western Japan orderedMatsushitaElectric IndustrialCo.to compensate a customer for adefective television set that ex­ploded.

Still, Japanese companies donot faceanythingclose to the kindof multimillion-dollar damagejudgments that Americancompa­nies have complained about.

DespiteThursday's victory,thefact that Mi. A chose to remain .anonymous illustrated the preju­dice remainingin Japan againstAIDS victims.

'There's socialdiscrimination,"said Shimizu. "The situation in.Japan now is such that ifhis nameweredisclosed, thediscriminationwould extend even to his family."

According to the Health andWelfare Ministry,3,233 peopleinJapan carry the AIDS virus, upfrom 2,914 a year ago. The minis­trysays889havefull-blown AIDS,and 536 peoplehavedied from thedisease.

House rejectsamendmentson term limits

FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1995 -MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-31

By DAVIDE.5POWASIllNGTON (AP)- The U.S.Houseof Representatives rejecteda constitutional amendment plac­ing term limits on lawmakers butHouse Speaker Newt Gingrichvowedthemeasurewouldbeback.

The vote was 227-204 on theproposal to limit lawmakers to 12years' service in the House orSenate, short of the two-thirdsmajority necessary for passage.One member voted present.

The measure drew far strongersupport among Republicans thanit did from Democrats. The votecapped a long day of debate thatproduced expressions of pro­foundly differing views of gov­ernment.

Freshman Rep. David McIn­tosh of Indiana noted the maximthat "power corrupts," and saidhe and other newly installed law­makers must guard "against thepossibility that this new majoritywould be corrupted by thispower."

But Rep. Barney Frank, aneighth-term Democrat from Mas­sachusetts, opposed the measure."I believe in representative de­mocracy untrammeled, unre­stricted, unrestrained," he said."Democracy is not simply what agiven majority in a public opinionpoll thinks at a given time."

In the final speech of the day,Gingrich sought to pin the blamefor the amendment's defeatsquarely on Democrats.

"My guess is tonight 60 to 65percent of the Democratic partywill vote against the Americanpeople and term limits," he said.If that's the case, he added, andRepublicans re-establish a ma­jority in the 1996elections, "term.limits will be voted on as the firstitem in the new Congress."

The vote marked the House'sfirst rejection of any of the itemsin the Republicans' "ContractWith America," even though Re­publican leaders have been forcedto make concessions on order towin their approval.

Gingrich rejected the sugges­tion that the defeat marked theunravellingof the "Contract," andheand other top Republican lead­ers set a strategy meeting for laterin the evening on assembling .amajority to pass a package of taxand spending cuts expected toreach the floor next week.

Ms. Younisof the women's federa­tion. "Crimes are increasing be­cause people can't cope."

In the middle-class Atharniyaneighborhood one recent morning,a girl no older than 6 went fromcarto car, pointing to her youngerbrother and sister huddled under afilthy blanket at thecurbandsayingover and over, "We are very, veryhungry. Help us in God's name."

Thegovernmentcontinuesto pro­vide monthly food rations for theneedyofflour, rice,sugar,tea,cook­ingoil and soap. And theEducationMinistry, in conjunction with thewomen's federation and the U.N.Children's fund,haslaunched a pro­gram to provide basic reading andmathematics skills -as well as atrade-to girlsandwomenwhodidn'tcomplete primary school.

France wantsoil embargoon Iraq liftedUNITED NATIONS (AP) ·Inanother signal of a brewing battlein the Security Council, Francesaid Wednesday it has drafted aproposal that would lift the crush­ing U.N. oil embargo against Iraq.The United States has alreadyvowed to veto such a move.

French Ambassador Jean-Ber­nard Merimee said the draft, alsobacked by Russia and China,would be formally proposed ifU.N. weapons monitors verify thatIraq was fully complying wit'.their mission.

The weapons monitors are ex­pected to report to the council onApril 10.

But Rolf Ekeus, chairman ofthe U.N. monitoring commission,said Tuesday he was worried thatIraq has not been able to accountfor 17 tons of material that couldbe used to grow the bacteria usedin biological weapons .

"We are proceeding on the as­sumption that if Ekeus gives us atotal green light we'will have to"ease the embargo, Merimee said.

The United States and Britainhave demanded that Iraq also im­prove its human rights record andaccount for missing Kuwaitiequipment before the sanctionsare lifted.

Merimee said the proposal "willessentially lift the oil embargo."

But he added that "we will nottable it unless we have a totallysatisfactory report. If! understandthe statements of Ekeus inBaghdad we will not havea to­tally satisfactory report."

Merimee said he showed theproposal to other members of thecouncil, including U.S. Ambas­sador Madeleine Albright.

When asked to describe her re­action, Merimee simply replied"bad."

In amove to diffuse Iraqiclaimsthat the sanctions are harming ci­vilians, the United States, Britainand Argentina are backing a pro­posal that would allow Iraq to selldlrs 4 billion of oil a year to payfor food, medicine and other bu­manitarian goods.

Trade sanctions, including anoil embargo, were imposed afterIraq's August 1990 invasion ofKuwait.

Government campaigns in the1970sand80ssharplyreducedillit­eracyratesin Iraq,andthousandsofwomenenteredthe workforce. Rev­enue from the sale of oil and datesgave the country billionsof dollarsfor a comfortable life.

Unlike many Arab countrieswhere women are excluded fromthe political process, Iraqi womencan vote. Twenty-seven of thenation's 250 Parliament membersare women,and at leasttwowomenhave served as Cabinet ministers.

But the U.N. sanctions, whichbar Iraq from selling oil and banmost international trade, havebeggared the nation, especially thesalaried middle class.

The dinar has depreciated fromabout eight to the dollar after the1991 GulfWar tosome I, I00 to thedollar now. Prices for necessitieshave skyrocketed.

Iraqi women to forget education,give up their jobs and go back totheir homes," claimed ManalYounis, head of the government­sponsored General Federation ofIraqi Women. 'The sanctions aredestroying the achievements thatour generation had been able toachieve."

The UnitedStateshasblamedtheIraqi government for much of thesuffering.

Last week, the United Statesbacked a proposalthat wouldallowBaghdad to sell$4 billion of oil ayear to pay for food, medicine andother humanitarian goods.

Iraq rejected the proposal, caJJ­ing it part of a U.S. move to main­tain the embargo.

"We havecome upwithareason­able proposal to allow Iraq to selloil to feed thehungry and...providemedicine," said James P. Rubin,spokesman for the U.S. mission tothe United Nations. "If theyare notwilling to use that mechanism, it is

He lives behind a wooden doorwith a peephole in the Frankfurtprison he shares with suspectedforgers, murderers and drug deal­ers. Visitors are allowed aboutonce a week.

Leeson was arrested at Frank­furt International Airport onMarch2 as he tried to get home toBritain, one step ahead of aSingapore subpoena for his ar­rest. His high-risk trading inSingapore led to the collapse ofBarings Bank. Singaporeofficialsare seeking Leeson's ex­traditionon fraud charges, and hemay remain in jail for monthswhile a German court sortsthrough evidence being sent bySingapore.

Leeson's attorneys are fightingtheextradition request, but sayhewould not oppose being sent toBritain for trial because he thinkshewouldgetbetter treatmenttherethan in Singapore.

While his case courses throughthe courts, Leeson is living in acell with a bed, a toilet, a closet, awash basin and a table, saidHadmutJung-Silberreis, directorof the prison, known simply asFrankfurt Detention Facility 2.H~ gets meals from a cart

From the beginning, man' spresence in Antarctica has beena jumbled tale of ferocity, na­tionalism and idealism;untempered butchery spaced withoccasional noble attemptsat sci­entific research.

During World War I, whalingincreased as oil was refined intoglycerin for artillery shells. Andafter World War II, America andthe Soviet Union hunted spermwhales, needing .their extra-fineoil as jet engine lubricant.

Until the IGY, most of Antarc­tica was still "Terra Australis In­cognita," as medieval map-mak­ers had labeled the theoreticalsouthern continent.

The first person born in Ant­arctica is not yet an adult. Arideven that birth was a witness tonationalistic .pretension. EmilioMarcus Palmer was born in 1978at Argentina's Esperanza Base,his mother flown specifically forthat purpose, to underscoreArgentina's claim to a large swathof Antarctic territory.

That was nine years after NeilArmstrong and Buzz Aldrin hadwalked on the moon and plantedtheir nation's flag as a symbol ofAmerican pre-eminence.

Roald Amundsen's dash to theSouth Pole in 1911 for the honorof Norway's King Haakon VLI'was simply the most successfuland single-minded such exploit.

Robert F. .Scott and his teammade the same trip for the gloryof the British Empire, but alsocollected rock and fossil samples,dragging them along in their man­hauled sledges. A combinationof demoralization at findingAmundsen had beat them to thePole by a month, poor diet, theeffort of hauling those rocks andsheer bad luck doomed Scott's

Todaythere is talk of establishing aworld park. Antarctica also pro­vides science a window to suchglobal pollutant threats as ozonedepletion and the greenhouseeffect.

By PETER JAMES SPIELMANNCAPE ADARE, Antarctica(AP)- One hundred years ago,the whaling ship Antarctic an­chored off this wind-batteredvolcanic coast and sent a longboatthrough the choppy Ross Sea toshore.

Led by Capt. LeonardKristensen, the landing party leftthe first known human footprintson the Antarctic continent on Jan.24, 1895, as part of their voyageto slaughter whales in unclaimedwaters.

Antarctica was baptized inblood. Seals were massacred bythe millions for their fur, andwhales and penguins for theiroil, needed to grease the machin­ery of the Industrial Revolution.

On Macquarie Island.hundredsof thousands of timid penguinswere herded up planks to the rimof cauldrons of boiling oil untilthey toppled in, to be renderedfor their own oil.

After 100 years ofexploitationof the Frozen Continent, man­kind is finally turning away fromthe fast buck and the quick kill,to set aside Antarctica as the pre­serve of nature and science for­ever.

Born today, you are a typicalAries native in at least one re­spect: despite your confidence andaggressive pursuit of your goals,you are keenly aware ofthe needfor learning and personal develop­ment at all stages of life. You arealways willing to spend a greatdeal of time, effort and money inthe pursuit of your career goals.All kinds of training are essentialto your contentment. You neverexpect rewards for only a mod­icum of work, and you always be­lieve that you will be handsomelyrewarded for your continual ef­forts. You have what it takes to beone of the very best in any careeryou choose, provided your tenacitywins out over your tendency to­ward frustration.

You are quite a spiritual indi­vidual, but you never feel the needto share that side of yourself withanyone but those closest to you.Your private affairs are precisely

. that - private! However, you nev­er run and hide when the worldmakes what seems to be astartling discovery about you.
