Eddie M urp h y Comes to Portland
' I was fortunate I was in the tight
place at the light time, and said
the right things. And I had a charm
ing smile." (Eddie Murphy, Rolling
S to n e ,1984)
In a few short yeais, Eddie Mui
phy has become one of the world s
biggest movie, television, concert
and recording stars.
Reheat sing Elvis Presley and Al
Green impressions at the age of 13
in his home on Roosevelt, Long Is
land, Murphy polished a comedy
routine that was good enough to
get him started in local clubs just
two years later When he moved on
to Manhattan, he started at the
Comic Strip, and immediately
sparked the interest of the clubs
owners, Richard Tienken and Rob
ert Wachs, who later became his
managers.
"Eddie went to the best acting
school in the w orld,” says Tienken,
Saturday Night Live
"He had what Belushi had, what
Aykroyd and Bill Murray have - an
incredible ability to be in the now
When you're in the now, you can
improvise any time, any place, with
n
young people!

"Justice for All' is the name of a nationwide event created to re ignite
the imagination and awareness of America about poverty at home and
point the way toward solutions A local committee created from social
services and consciousness raising groups has formed to mobilize commu
nity action so that Portland may participate in this national event
On Tuesday, November 17th, a "Poverty Un-Fair" will take place on
the third floor of the Galleria. Beginning at 11:30, a forum with educational
materials, displays and interesting simulation games will encourage the
public to enlighten themselves about the deep injustice that underlies
poverty.
A press conference, scheduled for 12:30, will give leaders from our
community such as Irv Fletcher, President of the AFL-CIO, Commissioner
Gretchen Kafoury, and Elizabeth Furst, head of the Oregon Peace Insti
tute, an opportunity to define some of tfie injustices of our society and how
to strengthen efforts by and for the poor.
For a lot of people in our community, poverty is merely an ugly survival
struggle. The poverty they experience means they often do not have
enough to eat, they often live in substandard housing, or are homeless,
they often cannot find more than minimum wage jobs which don't support
their families and some cannot work at all Most especially, poverty affects
children, making their futures dim
We have ceased to feel with our hearts, and as a result, we have been
unsuccessful in thinking with our heads. The Greeks had a saying: There
will be no justice in Athens until the uninjured parties are as indignant as the
injuried parties.
Offbeat Indie filmmaker Gus Van
Sant will be on hand for a retro
spective of his films presented by
the Media Project at 8:00 p.m. on
Monday, November 23rd. This spe
cial screening will be held at the
Media Project studio, 716 S.W.
16th, 3rd floor, in Portland.
Van Sant will screen all of his
short films, and an excerpt from
his internationally acclaimed feature
film "Mala Noche." Among the
works to be shown are "The Dis
cipline of De," a nine minute film
based on a short story by William
Burroughs (which was recently
bought by the Learning Channel
for national cable broadcast);
Nightmare Typhoon;" "Five Ways
to Kill Yourself" and Van Sant's
college films.
Admission to the program is $1.
Adults only, please.
