Effective
Faces o f War airs
in Portland on 49
Robert Foxworth, star o f the pop
ular CBS-TV hit Falcon C nst, hosts
a half-hour television special on the
crisis in Central America, showing in
Portland, Saturday, August 17, from
6 to 6:30 p.m. on K P D X -T V , Chan
nel 49 (Cable 13).
F' o po o f War features scenes never
shown before on American televi
sion, including interviews with A m er
ican civilians living and working near
the battlefields o f Nicaragua and
El Salvador.
Foxworth takes viewers to visit
Americans who have firsthand cxpe
riencc o f the violence and terror —
and the hope — in the embattled
region:
• Ed Myer, a Seattle doctor treat
ing the victims o f "contra'* rebel
terrorism in northern Nicaragua.
• Fred Royce, a Jacksonville diesel
mechanic leaching Nicaraguan farm
ers, under the guns o f the contras,
how to repair the tractors they need
to produce food for their families.
• Sister Andrea Ninsel, a nun
struggling to maintain hope amidst
the misery o f a refugee camp in El
Salvador,
• Elizabeth Kochik, a Cleveland
churchwoman who stayed behind to
help the poor even after four o f her
friends were raped and murdered by
Salvadoran soldiers.
"T h e face o f hope and compassion
in Central America,” says Fox
worth, "is represented by these indi-
vidual American citizens dedicating
their time — and risking their lives —
to help our neighbors."

Shadow project in Portland
by Nathaniel Scott
As they made (heir way to work
Tuesday, August 6, the downtown
early birds d idn't get worms. What
they got were hundreds o f silhouettes
projecting what downtown Portland
would look like in the event o f a nu
clear bombing.
The silhouettes — "shadows" —
were a part o f the International
Shadow Project commemorating the
40th anniversary o f the bombing o f
Hiroshima.
"T he purpose o f the shadow p ro j
ect |ss as) to vividly remind people
that nuclear arms destroy life — all
life ," Alan Gussow, co-director o f
international project, was reported to
have said in New York C ity’s A I R
Gallery.
In Portland, Donna G Slcpack,
another co-director, said, "T h is
morning the pavements o f downtown
Portland are covered with a collage ol
human images. The density o f these
ghost like forms simulates the mass
murder that results from the detona
tion o f a nuclear b o m b ." She added,
"Star Wars may turn us all into ,tar
dust.”

The group o f anti-nuclear bomb
activists were up before dawn can
vassing a portion o f downtown Port
land with silhouettes "painted with
calcium carbonate," said to have
been " a water soluable solution.”
Chuck D u ffy, an aide to the may
or, said the group had been granted
permission by the City Council to
paint the sidewalks with the silhou
ettes which w ill take weeks to disap
pear D uffy added, "A n y citizen has
the right to use the water soluable
solution.” But whether or not the
city w ill grant individual citizens legal
permission to paint collages on the
sidewalks is another matter.
Mike Russo, a Portland artist who
helped design the silhouettes made
the statement: “ We dropped the fi's l
bomb, we dropped the second bomb;
we must ask ourselves: arc we going
to drop the third atom bomb?”
Russo, speaking with a highly
emotional voice also wanted to know:
"W h o arc we (Americans) to define
what human rights are?" He con
cluded by saying, “ No one has the
right to demand 20 m illion
40
m illion lives be sacrificed."

When you see signs like those
shown above they tell you that
there s a pipeline nearby It its
underground you can t see it. ot
course But it s there working
quietly to provide energy lor you
and other consumers throughout
this nation
Some ot these signs list the
commodity transported in the
pipeline the name ot the operator
and a telephone number where the
operator s representative can be
reached at all times
Although pipelines have an
e«ceptionally good safety record
once in a while a leak can occur
Indications of a leak might include
• A strange or unusual odor in the
vicinity ol a pipeline
• A hissing or roaring sound
(caused by petroleum or product
escaping from a pipeline)
• A dense white cloud or fog
• A spot ot dead or discolored
vegetation
• An accumulation of petroleum
A look ahead to the year 2000
What w ill be the stale o f Black
America in the yeat 2000?
Dr Andrew F. Brimmer, presi
dent o f the Washington-based con
sulting firm Brimmer A Company
Inc., and a member o f the Black
Enterprise Board o f Economists,
makes some far-reaching predictions
for the future o f Black America in a
special report commemorating the
15th anniversary o f Mack Enterprise
in the August issue.
The economic gap between the
races should narrow considerably in
the next 15 years, believes Brimmer,
with Blacks comprising approxi
mately 13.6 percent o f the total popu
lation o f the nation, holding 11 4 per
cent o f all jobs, and sharing in 10.6
percent o f total money income.
The net numbers o f Black entrepre
neurs w ill increase, and there w ill be
diversification mto new and expand
ing fields. These businessmen will
continue to market prim arily to Black
consumers but w ill be faced with
increased competition from major
corporations.
"The typical Black firm w ill con
tinue to be a wholly owned proprie
torship engaged prim arily in retail
trade or in the provisions o f personal
services," writes the former member
o f the Federal Reserve’s Board of
Governors in Mack Enterprise.
Expected to grow faster than the
economy as a whole are the travel
and transportation industries. There
will be an increasing number o f Black
businesses on the supply side o f the
recreation and entertainment markets
(hotel, resorts, and travel agencies)
and with Blacks already holding an 83
percent share o f all ICC certificates,
their future in these industries seems
secure.
Manufacturing, construction, com
munications, and high-tech indus
tries should expand at a moderate
pace, with more Black firms finding
their niche in these markets.
Black financial institutions and
insurance companies, on the other
hand, may experience a weakening of
position as financial services firms
gain momentum. "T h e main obsta
cles w ill be a lack o f capital and the
head start the leading financial insti
tutions already have," says Brim
mer. "These w ill pose enormous
hurdles for Black firms — along with
other small enterprises that mav at
tempt to compete in the financial
services arena."
