By JONATHAN D. SALAN.T .......
Associated Prell Writer
WASHINGTON - President
Clinton is to propose this week lowering to 62 the age of Americans eli. ,gible for Medicare benefits, an
\dministration official said Saturday.
The proposal, ·which if implemented· would mark the first time
Medicare is made available to those
under 65, will be part of Clinton's
proposed spending plan for the fiscal
year beginning' Oct. I. .
It is one of several spending initiatives the president plans to pro~ose
in the new budget, said the official,
speaking on condition he not to be
identified. Other proposals would
restore food stamp benefits to some
legal immigrants and focus on biomedical research .
The official -said Clinton would
continue to limit federal spending and

avoid expensive initiatives that would
explode the budget. Since raising taxes on wealthy Americans and cutting.
federal spending in I 993, the president has seen the federal deficit
· steadily shrink each year.
"!1 is,possible, in the context of .
moving towards that balanced budget, to begin to expand a little bit on
some of lhe spending programs that .
are available for· people. who really
have real needs," White House
spokesman Mik,e McCurry said Saturday on CNN's "Evans and
Novak. "
As more companies refuse tp provide health coverage to retirees .
many people find themselves unable
to afford insurance until Medicare eligibility begins at age 65.
"This is a problem that needs to
be addressed," said Andrea Hofelich.

SARATOV, Russ1a --It was a reiauvely mmor IOCJdent here, only
noted by the Russ1an Orthodox
pnest and h1s four young Amencan
~s 1tors But 11 speaks volumes about
the changes 10 Russ1an freedom
expected to occur th1s year
The four Amencans were Mormoo mJssJonanes from the Ch~rch
of Jesus Chnst of Latter-day Samts.
All between the ages of 19 and 21,
they ha1led from Anzona, Washmgton, Utah and Vugm1a, having paid
thelf own way to teach their rehgion
10 a fore1gn land
They had entered a~ opulent,
omon-domed edifice, cunous about
the architecture, culture and rehgwn One of them approached a
fully garbed pnest, resplendent m
h1s vestments, and asked h1m a s1mpie doctnnal question
The pnest fumed, ordered them
to read a book anQ to stop bothermg
h1m Gruffly, he asked them to take
the1r hands out of the1r pockets,
wh1ch he perce1ved a? an tnsult
When they d1dn 't respond qu1ckly
enough, the four young men were
literally pushed out of the church
In a nutshell . that 's what the

wentmto full force on Jan. I
The law, under the Orwellian
t1tle, "Law on Freedom of Consc1ence and Rehg1ous Assoc1atJons," pas~ed the State Duma last
September by a vote of 358-6. The
upper house of Russia's parliament
then passed 11 unan1mously · •
Russ1an President Bo[is Yeltsm ,
who had vetoed an earlier verswn of
the bill, felt forced to s1gn 1tthe sec"nd ume around. Smce then, he has
repeatedly-- and secretly-- assured
womed Amencan congressmen that
the new law wo~'t apply to the{r
churches.
The law's prov1s1ons greatly

CINCINNATI (AP) - Bengals
owner Mike Brown met with a City
Council member, a move that
angered other council members who
think Brown may·be trying to undermine the city's· negotiations over n
' new stadium for the football team.
Brown said he hoped the hourlong
: meeting with Councilman Todd Por·
· tune would be the first of a series or
: private one-on-one meetings with
: council members aod City Manager
: John Shirey.
City -council must approve the
: transfer of I0 acres of riverfront land
: to Hamilton County by Jan. 3 t to pre·
:. vent the Bengats from killing their
· stadium lease with the county.
Vice Mayor Minette Cooper ano
Councilman Dwight Tillery .said they
think COUf\cil members who meet
with Brown will undercut the work of
Shirey, who is negotiating with county ofl1cials to- reac h a riverfront
development agreement.
"He's going i)chind the manager 's
back an.d trying to pick off the manager's .bosses on this thing," Tillery
told The Cincinnari Enquirer for a
story -jJUblished today.
But Brown said he did no negoti-,
ating during his meeting with Poetunc.
"We just made known facts and
• . viewpoints. !think that's a good thing
:· because the more information that 's
• :shared, the better on which to base a
decision," Brown said.
Portune said the meeting helped to
: •keep· the l.ines of communications
:: open with everyone in_volved.
: "it's important for everyone to
: ·ronc down the rhetoric a little bit and
: ·ascertain whether we can work it out
in good faith, " he said.
,_ The county is collecting a halfcent-per-dollar sales tax increase that
voters approved in March 1996 to
build sepamte stadiums for the Bengals and baseball 's Cincinnati Reds,
..· both of whom play in Cinergy Field.
:- : The Reds apd· the county• have .not
·. aj!recd on a site flr the ~cball sta: dium .
: • Meanwhile, ccun!y Comm~sion­
. er John Dow lin s:,id the ci!Y pulled a
: number "out of thin air " when it
: decided to demand $14 million from
: the county before the stadium can be
· built.
" Voters voted for two new stadi: urns. They did not vote for the sales
: tax to pay for Ri~erfront develop. ment," Dowlin told The Ci•rcimwri
: Pon for a story published Saturd}'Y·
: Shirey is refusing to turn over c1ty
: land the county needsto build the sta, dium until the county contributes $14
: million toward renovation and nar·
: rowing of a stretch of Interstate 71 ,
:· known as Fort Washington Way.
" We don 't know where the $14
: million figure came from ," Dow lin
: said. "We have never told the1. we
~uld pay $14 million."

discover the generally accepted idea
of ~h~t a do·ll is - an inanimate
object that represents a human being
in miniature."
The use to which dolls have been
put over the year.; has varied enor·
mously. from religious offerings at
one end of the spectrum to play
things at the other. But, the majority
of dolls produced between 1680 and
the 1990s were almost certainly
intended to be used as children's play
things, the program leallers
explained.
It was pointed out that wood, inexpensive and readily available, has
always been used for making dolls.
. Wooden dolls with any accurately
documented hi ~ tory ·date from circa 16RO, although they were no doubt
made before this time. Most early
wooden dolls were made in England,
pwbably in and around London; by
· a number of different makers, Ashley
and Atkins said.
. Patricia Holter showed an example
of an early wooden doll which was
given to her by a 90-year old friend
of the family when she was a child.
.This doll had joints at the hips, knees,
an~les. elbows and wrists. The condition indicates an aged doll but the
actual time period can not be docu·
mented, Holter said.
Jointed wooden dolls made after
17.90 are usually called Dutch dolls
or peg woode.ns . Although World War
II created a hiatus in the large-scale
· production of peg woodens, a recent ·
awakening of interest in ·the old
techniques, together with improved
machinery and paints, has given
these inexpensive' dolls a new lease
on life today, it was noted.
Ashley shared some period dolls
from her collection and dolls collected by members of her family,
including Barbie and Raggedy Ann.
June' Ashley showed a doll which she
has had since her childhood.

Gannett News Service
When does the 21st century begin?
Depends on how you calculate it.
And lots·of people will calc.ulate it during the next two years.
, . " I expect every newspaper on earth will take it up, " biologist Stephen
Jay Gould says, "and most of them will mess it up and leave people·morc

Gould deals with the 2000-2001' matter this way in "Questi.oning the

Here 's why,
A 6th-century monk named Dionysius Exiguus - aka "Dennis the
Short" -'- was asked to prepare a chronology of time for Pope St. John
I.

•

."Following a standard practice," Gould writes, · "(Dionysius) began
countable years with the foundati on of Rome. But ... Dionysius then div(ded time again at Christ's appearance. He reckoned Jesus' birth at Dec. 25,
near the end of.year 753 a. u.c. (" from the founding of Rome" ). Dionysius then restarted time just a few days later on January I , 754 a. u.c.not Christ's birth. but the feast of the circumcision on his eighth day of
life.
" Diony sius· leg acy has proved little but trouble ."
Dtonystus made two mistakes , Gould says. but by the time the world
caught on. he was long dead and it was too late for correct ions.
Fir&lt;t. he apparently got Jesus' birthdatc wrong, placing it at least four
years later !han II must hav'e oecn (because qf Other known historical

Then - and thi s is the big mistake - Dtonysius started the A.D. era

perfectly all right to be intrigued by

Had an asteroid's orbit not inter·

says, the big lizards probably would
still rule and the mammals that
became us would still be nut-gatherers like today's squirrels.
"The system (of calendars)
wouldn:t exist," Gould says. "There
· would be no rational system to even
invent calendrics. The world would
be working perfectly well on its own
terms.
"To me, what's so intriguing ... (is
that) it's almost a pure case in human
foibles. There's no input from fa ct.

Author of 'Am~rican Splendor'
mics trUmpet~ jazz musicians
By JOHN AFFLECK
Associated Press Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) ' - One of
America's great but little-known
writers is trying to help out some of
America's great, but little-known
musicians.
Harvey Pekar, a ·Cleveland author
who has developed a cult following
and won the hearts of literary critics
with the autobiographical " American
Splendor" comic books, is hoping to
do the same for the music ~e loves.
The comic series he has written
for the last 21 years tells the story of
his own unswervingly mundane hte
as a hospital file clerk and husband
to his third wife.
Pekar's ability to draw 10sights
and humor - often a bit on the dark
side - from common experiences
such as nding in an elevator has won
the 58-year-old authot acclaim in lit'crary circles.
A typical "American Splendor "
. moment: Walking through the hospi·
tal, Pekar greets a co-worker who
says he's "Just waitin' for the day to
get over." The offhand comment
prompts Pekar to think, "Ain't ')hat

Lane and Hunt give 'Mouse Hunt' the trappings of a good comic romp
By MARSHALL FINE
Gannett Suburban Newspapers
Forget " Flubbcr." The family
comedy that will entertain both chil·
drcn anCt paren ts alike is " Mouse
Hunt. ''
o
And what an _!!Diikely hit it is,
given the simplicity of its premise.
Who, after all, would imagine that
you could make a mov1e as inventivc, outrageous and darkly comic as
" Mouse Hunt " based on this plot
~ ummary ·

Two dissimilar brothers, Ernie
and Lars s·muntz (Nathan Lane and
Lee Evans), are· reunited at their
father 's funera l. In his will, he leaves
them'I!Ve rythmg he owns; a_rr outdatcd string factory and a decrepit man·
• ion ' The mansion, as·it turns out, is
a lost archttectural treasure - but
when the brothers go to renovate and
se ll it, they find it is iniested"wilh a
mouse. Nol mice - mouse. And. in
their efforts to exterminate the
mouse, they destroy the house.
Certainl y that 's the kind of simpie-minded 1dea that tickles Holly·

wood's dim little intellects. Yet who
would believe that an unknown
director and the writer respopsible
for a deeply unfunny 1991 film
called "The 'Dark Backward" could
come up with something as wild and
wonderful as this?
ActuallY, the screenplay (by AdamRifkin) is the weakest part of "Mouse
Hunt," a mere blueprint (and one with
a lot of dead ends, at that) for the kind
of hilarity created by the more talent·
ed collaborators involved here.
Annong the contributor.;:
• Director Gore Verbinsk1, who
created the original Budweiser frogs
commercial, who brings 'an energetic zaniness to the material and the
light hand it requires.
• Actors Nathan Lane and Lee
Evans, the most perfectly matched
comedy team· since Laurel met
Hardy and Abbott met Costello, passessors of both Swiss-movement
comic timing and incredibly malleab)e faces and physiques.
Cinematographer. Phedon
Papamichael, who uses the camera

like ·a weapon in capturing the
mouse-eye. view of the skewed
world of the Smuntzes.
• ' Production designer Linda
DeScenna and visual·effects supervisor Charles Gibson, who create
that skewed world, from the mammoth niansion tCJ the well-decorate~
mouse hole where the Smuntzes
quarry resides.
• It would be unfair to detail all of
the slapstick magic that liefalls these
hapless siblings. Suffice to say that
whatever could go w~g does go
wrong, usually in ways fuat cascade
out of the Smuntzes's feeble control.
As noted, the softest spot in this
whole enterprise IS Rifkin's script,
which leaves more loose ends than
an" irrcompetent seamstress. But for
every comic cul-de-sac the screen·
play takes us down, Verbinski and
his cast_pull a deft iHurn and lead us
to a comic pay-off.
The mice u!ilized in this film real, animatronic and computer gencrated are combin~d in the deft hands
of editor Craig WoOd to create a sin·

gle, starring mouse, capable of amazing -and, often, amazingly funny
- deeds. Th~ mouse IS almost as
much fun to watch as the star.;. ' .
But the stars make 11 all go. Lane,
with his delicious slow bum and
comic pomposity, is the know-all
Erni~ , an Oliver Hardy type whose

of brother. Lars
inevitably brings about hts own
downfall.
.
Evans, an amazing British comtc
who is all but unknown in this coun·
try, is a rubber-faced, limber-limbed
marvel, with the innocence' of Stan
Laurel and the resilience of Wile E.
Coyote.
Together, they create one living,

organic being, a single-minded duo
who prove that ~heads can't out·
maneuver one mouse. As a result,
"Mouse Hunt" is the surprise comic
hjt of the season.

Wildlife habitat does not JUSt happen in our backyards or in the open
fields. It is something that has been
either con scientiously planned or '
·allowed to develop through fallow
areas. Each area 1s unponantto some
type of wildlife, even if we cannot see
it. Learning about thts wtldhfe is an
impof\ant part of learnmg about our
environment. A habitatt s made up of
three essential factors : food , water

and cover. Without these three basics,
wildlife cannot survive .
Why is it important for us as
humans to be concerned about
wildlife? It may be because of a deep
concern for all living things, it may
be because we feel a duty to prot~ct
the animals that need our help or it
may be because we as humans rely
on the same three baste factor to surVIve.
.

a habitat for wildlife is a good tdea

GALLIPOLIS . On December
22, Danny McKinney, ~EO of the
Burley Tobacco Growers Co-operative AssociatiOn announced that
growers who. have fat -stemmed burIcy with uncured, greenish leaves
may not "find a home for their tobacco." f!e explained that the companies
will not buy it and it does D()t qualify for prices supports, therefore can·
not go to pool either.
,
· Curing has become such an issue
that the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
postponed the reopening of the burley market from January 5to Janu ary
12, thu ~ delaying the auction closings
as well The dec1s10n was also
endor.;ed by lhe Burley Federal Advisory Committee whose 39 members
include representatives from cigarette
makers, dealers, warehouse men,
many farmer groups.
More so in Kentucky than here in
Ohio, a late set crop lead to a late har·
vest, which was combined with cooler temperatures causing burley
tobacco to cure slower than usual.
According to George Duncan of the
University of Kentucky, the chemical
processes that change the color of'
burley leaves require 'medium
humidity level s and temperature of
50-60 degrees or higher. When compared wtth Kentucky, tobacco pro·
d'!cmg counties in Oh1o had an edge
on planting· and harvesting due to
more favorable weat'her conditiOns.
1-!owever, local producers with crops
with fat stems and uncured leaves are
strongly advised to leave the tobac·

MAYSVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Afirc
at a fertili7.cr plant filled with herbi ·
cides and pesticides forced thousands
of people on both sides of the Ohio
River to evacuate their homes.
The fire started early Sunday
morning at the Cargilllne. plant. and
smoke rolled across the river for
more than 14 hours . One firefighter
suffered a minor injury.
About 2,500 people were evacuated 'from their homes in Maysville
and across the river in Brown and
Adams counties in Ohio, about 45
. miles southeast of Cincinnati . They
were allowed to return about 5 p.m.
The fire was discovered at aboul

Why? Because he doesn't have sharp

Kirwan became president of the

1989. He arrived at the University of
Maryland in 1964 as an assistant pro-

fessor of mathematics.

Kirwan has been popular as president and received praise for improving student life. He promoted a new
honors program to recruit in-state students and has strongly promoted 1he
university's rCsenrch activities.
"I couldn't imagine a beller thing
for Ohio State," Donald N. Langenberg, chancellor of the University
System of Maryland, told the Dispatch for a slory today. "What you
arc getting is a guy who has demon·
strated in every way that he can, that
