r<*gpio NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Wednesday, August U, 1965 Nation Frank Capra hospitalized RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (UPI) -- Oscar-winning director- producer Frank Capra was ad­ mitted to Eisenhower Medical Center to undergo tests for a possible stroke, the hospital said. Capra, 88, was brought to the emergency room Sunday night suffering symptoms that could be the result of a mild stroke or a transient episode resulting in temporary changes in the level of consciousness, nursing super­ visor Gerri Chaney said. Chaney said she had talked to Capra and he was alert and was undergoing neurological tests. Capra, born in Palermo, Italy, came to the United States at the age of 6. He was decorated for service in World War II and was dis­ charged with the rank of colonel after producing the series of Army orientation films called "Why We Fight." Capra won Academy Awards for Best Picture in 1984 for "It Happened One Night" and in 1938 for "You Can't Take it With You." f -3 r r$jf J ] w » j '* FRANK CAPRA Capra's other films included "Mr. Smith Goes to Washing­ ton," "Forbidden," "Lost Hori­ zon," "Arsenic and Old Lace" and his last film, "Pocketful of Miracles" in 1961. Capra lives in La Quinta, Calif., in the Palm Springs area. Nutrition may help fight off schizophrenia Japanese tricks help U.Si hide woes: poll NEW YORK (UPI) - Schizophre­ nia has reached "epidemic propor­ tions" in the United States -- affect­ ing one out of 20 people -- but a special diet may help ward off the delusional mental illness, a doctor said Monday. "Recent research in the field indi­ cates that nutrition plays a key role in the onset as well as the recovery from mental disorders," said Dr. Michael Williams, president of the A m e r i c a n S c h i z o p h r e n i a Association. Williams, whose work as director of the Coral Ridge Biopsychiatric Hospital in Florida includes creat­ ing diets to fit patients' "biochemi­ cal needs," is co-sponsoring a sym­ posium in New York in September called "The Link between Nutrition and Mental Health." The physician said the nutritional treatment programs that he tailors for patients have helped to prevent, and in many cases reverse, the ef­ fects of mental diseases, including schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a major mental disorder characterized by a pa­ tient's distortion of reality accom­ panied by delusions and hallucina­ tions. The exact cause of the diease is not known, but recent research indicates faulty body chemistry may be a factor, Williams noted. "It (schizophrenia) has now reached epidemic proportions in the United States, victimizing mostly young people just when they hope to begin productive lives," Williams said in a statement. "More than one. of every 20 Americans suffers from some form of schizophrenia." Williams' views are not entirely accepted in the medical and psychi­ atric communities. "Bad nutrition certainly doesn't help any illness, including schizo­ phrenia. Good nutrition is bound to be helpful for anyone. The question is whether there is a specific nutri­ tional defect in schizophrenia," said Dr. Samuel Keith, chief of the cen­ ter for psychiatric studies at the National Institute of Mental Health. Although there are many propo­ nents of the theory thatfnytrition is directly related to schizophrenia, "the overall feeling is that it's not so," he said because there hasn't been enough of the right kind of research to support it. Virginity making a comeback NEW YORK (UPI) -- The "sexual revolution" has bottomed out, according to a sociologist whose study shows virginity is making a comeback among college women. Robert Sherwin, co-author of a 21-year study of sexual behavior at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, said in the September issue of Glamour magazine that the percent­ age of female virgins at that school has risen from 38 percent in 1978 to 43 percent in 1964. But the conservative swing does not apply to men. The percentage of male college virgins continued to fall from about the same rate as women in 1978 to 28 percent in 1984, Sherwin's study found. Seventy-five percent of the women in 1963 said they were virgins, but Sherwin said he doesn't expect the pendulum to swing that far back. "Many years ago there was a tyranny that you had to be a virgin," Sherwin said. "Then we went through a period when there was another tyranny -- you had to be promiscuous. While-many college women do not sleep alone, there is a growing reluctance to engage in casual sex, Glamour reported. College women no longer feel the need to "imitate the traditionally carefree masculine attitude toward premarital sex," the article released Monday said. The change in sexual attitudes among women can also be traced to fear of herpes and other venereal diseases, an increase in conservative religious activities on cam­ puses and a growing attitude among women that it is all right to say "no," Glamour reported. Another reason is that on many campuses "the dia­ phragm has surpassed the pill as the preferred method of birth control, and it's one that doesn't easily lend itself to unplanned bursts of passion," the article said. NEW YORK (UPI) - A majority of Americans believe the United States is using Japanese trade prac­ tices to cover up real economic problems at home, The New York Times reported Monday. Most Japanese concurred, in a poll conducted by the Times, CBS News and Tokyo Broadcasting System. Both groups felt the Japanese blue-collar employee worked harder than his American counterpart. American union members and blue- collar workers agreed. The people of both countries said the Japanese were superior in con­ sumer product quality, especially in the manufacture of cars, and blamed American business for fail­ ing to sell to Japan. But 57 percent of American par­ ticipants in th poll said Japan un­ fairly restricted U.S. imports and 48 percent felt trade with Japan was bad for the U.S. economy. Trade sanctions against Japan were supported by 63 percent of the Americans, although this figure dropped sharply when consider­ ations of higbef prices, diminished s consume? ch%e or risks of retalia­ tion were rinsed. The poll was conducted last month with 1,428 Japanese and 1,569 Americans, before the Japanese government announced its most re­ cent market-widening program. In both countries the margin of sam­ pling error was plus or minus three percentage points. Japan's trade surplus with the United States last year was 137 bil­ lion, but 36 percent of Japanese thought Japan bought more than it sold. Eighty-seven percent of Amer­ icans knew that Japan sold more to the United States than it bought, the newspaper said. While 19 percent of Japanese said Japan was competing unfairly, 70 percent said the United States was blaming Japan for its own economic problems. Fifty-three percent of Americans said Japan was Ming made a scape­ goat, while 30 percent of those polled saw unfair competition. The Japanese believed they did most things better than Americans. No macho men here RADNOR, Pa. (UPI) - The ma­ cho men of television lack the emo­ tional attributes that "a real man" possesses -- fear, compassion and sensitivity -- says Alex Karras, a former football player turned actor. The former NFL all-pro lineman says he is not impressed with the macho images projected by Stacy Keach as Mike Hammer or Mr. T as B.A. Baracus. "A real man accepts women as equals -- talk with them, not at them, exchange ideas. A real man isn't afraid to admit he's afraid," Karras said in the Aug. 17 issue of TV Guide, released Monday. "A real man isn't worried about role- playing." Karras, who played tackle for the Detroit Lions while doing house­ work ahd taking care of his kids in his spare time, had similarly unkind words for Ted Danson, who plays Sam Malone in "Cheers." Karras said he likes male televi­ sion characters he considers more true to life. Characters like Bob Newhart's innkeeper Dick Loudon and Bill Cosby's Dr. Heathcliff Hux- table are "nonviolent, sensitive men who don't talk with their fists like Mike Hammer or Mr. T," he said. '"Newhart's'" Dick Loudon treats his wife as an equal. He listens to other people's problems and shares his. He does not judge people by his own prejudices. He is not dogmat­ ic," Karras said. Cosby's doctor character reflects the actor-comedian's own views on life, Karras said. "He's a .believer in principle, in morality, in equal rights," he said.. With 3 percent disagreeing, 85 per­ cent said Japanese blue-collar em­ ployees worked harder, 53 to 16 per­ cent said Japan had better business managers and 84 to 4 percent be­ lieved their cars were a better value. The Japanese rated their consum­ er goods more technologically ad­ vanced by 54 to 16 percent and felt their industrial technology was su­ perior by 41 to 26 percent. Japanese, by 56 to 36 percent, said Americans had not made enough effort to sell their goods in Japan. Americans, by 51 to 10 percent, also believe Japanese blue-collar employees work harder. American union members agreed, 56 to 11 percent, as did blue-collar workers, 51 to 11 percent. HOTROD TRUCK PULL Tri State Trudk Pullers Assoc.
