V ersatility and economy have
made pasta a staple in many
American households. Even James
Beard, a giant in the food industry,
says of pasta, **i never get tired of
pasta, any more than I get tired of
bread.”
Like bread and most staples,
pasta needs other ingredients, such
as a robust spaghetti sauce, to
enhance its flavo r. Here are a
variety o f delightful recipes using
spaghetti sauce and pasta for ex
citingly different dishes.
Mediterranean Macaroni Salad is
a cold dish using spaghetti sauce
mixed with Italian salad dressing.
C orn, ripe olives, red onion,
cucumber and cooked macaroni are
added to the sauce to make a color
ful, refreshingly light meal.

Blacks face
high rate
of glaucoma
The American Academy of
Ophthalmology has issued a health
alert that glaucoma is now the
leading cause of blindness in Black
Americans.
Glaucoma in Blacks is 8 times the
rate among whites, says Bruce E.
Spivey, M D , the Academ y’ s
executive vice president. In the high-
risk group 45 to 64 years old, the
rate among Blacks is 14 to 17 times
greater than among whites. The rate
of blindness from other eye disor
ders is relatively equal among the
two races.
An estimated 62,(XX) Americans
are blind from glaucoma and ap
proximately 2 million citizens have
the eye disease
Among the probable reasons for
the higher rate ot glaucoma among
Blacks are:
• a high incidence, earlier in life,
of elevated pressure within the eye;
• a more severe elevation in
pressure;
• delayed detection and tre a t
ment;
• less effect o f therapy on the
glaucoma.
T o help reduce the number of
cases o f glaucoma in Blacks, the
Academy is encouraging more:
• eye examinations for this
group;
• frequent follow-up;
• careful attention to treatment
of glaucoma;
• attention to economic and other
factors that may interfere with
adequate detection and treatment;
• interest from governm ental,
private and voluntary agencies to
increase screening among high-risk
groups
(socially
deprived
populations likely to have limited
access to health care);
• attention to glaucoma detection
among existing health screening
programs of Blacks for hyperten
sion, sickle cell disease and diabetes;
• joint efforts by governmental
agencies and other institutions in
organizing and coordinating (his ef
fort.
