Purpose: Enrolling traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients with an inability to provide informed consent in research is challenging. Alternatives to patient consent are not sufficiently embedded in European and national legislation, which allows procedural variation and bias. We aimed to quantify variations in informed consent policy and practice. Methods: Variation was explored in the CENTER-TBI study. Policies were reported by using a questionnaire and national legislation. Data on used informed consent procedures were available for 4498 patients from 57 centres across 17 European countries. Results: Variation in the use of informed consent procedures was found between and within EU member states. Proxy informed consent (N = 1377;64%) was the most frequently used type of consent in the ICU, followed by patient informed consent (N = 426;20%) and deferred consent (N = 334;16%). Deferred consent was only actively used in 15 centres (26%), although it was considered valid in 47 centres (82%). Conclusions: Alternatives to patient consent are essential for TBI research. While there seems to be concordance amongst national legislations, there is regional variability in institutional practices with respect to the use of different informed consent procedures. Variation could be caused by several reasons, including inconsistencies in clear legislation or knowledge of such legislation amongst researchers. ; Peer reviewed

Abstract: Background: The European Union (EU) aims to optimize patient protection and efficiency of health-care research by harmonizing procedures across Member States. Nonetheless, further improvements are required to increase multicenter research efficiency. We investigated IRB procedures in a large prospective European multicenter study on traumatic brain injury (TBI), aiming to inform and stimulate initiatives to improve efficiency. Methods: We reviewed relevant documents regarding IRB submission and IRB approval from European neurotrauma centers participating in the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI). Documents included detailed information on IRB procedures and the duration from IRB submission until approval(s). They were translated and analyzed to determine the level of harmonization of IRB procedures within Europe. Results: From 18 countries, 66 centers provided the requested documents. The primary IRB review was conducted centrally (N = 11, 61%) or locally (N = 7, 39%) and primary IRB approval was obtained after one (N = 8, 44%), two (N = 6, 33%) or three (N = 4, 23%) review rounds with a median duration of respectively 50 and 98 days until primary IRB approval. Additional IRB approval was required in 55% of countries and could increase duration to 535 days. Total duration from submission until required IRB approval was obtained was 114 days (IQR 75–224) and appeared to be shorter after submission to local IRBs compared to central IRBs (50 vs. 138 days, p = 0.0074). Conclusion: We found variation in IRB procedures between and within European countries. There were differences in submission and approval requirements, number of review rounds and total duration. Research collaborations could benefit from the implementation of more uniform legislation and regulation while acknowledging local cultural habits and moral values between countries.

The CDF and D0 experiments have measured the effective-leptonic electroweak mixing parameter sin(2) theta(lept)(eff) using electron and muon pairs selected from the full Tevatron proton-antiproton data sets collected in 2001-2011, corresponding to 9-10 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity. The combination of these measurements yields the most precise result from hadron colliders, sin(2)theta(lept)(eff) = 0.23148 +/- 0.00033. This result is consistent with, and approaches in precision, the best measurements from electron-positron colliders. The standard model inference of the on-shell electroweak mixing parameter sin(2) theta(W), or equivalently the W-boson mass M-W, using the ZFITTER software package yields sin(2) theta(W) = 0.22324 +/- 0.00033 or equivalently, M-W = 80.367 +/- 0.017 GeV/c(2).

As our readers may well surmise, rising costs of publishing and mailing have played a signifi-cant role in leading to this decision. As editor, I have explored, with the help of my Board members and staff, various options. We could raise the subsdription price and still be competitively equal to other jo.urnals ~nd magazines. But since women and men religious with their religious vow of poverty make up the larger part of our readership, I want to keep the cost as low as possible. Perhaps even more importantly, fi large number of foreign sub-scribers, especially in India and in the countries of Africa, would find any increase in price unbearable in terms of currency exchange rates. We thought of reducing the size of the journal from 112 pages to 64 or 72 pages, a common pagina-tion for journals of our kind. A cheaper production and a lighter weight for mailing would save some expense, while at the same time allowing us to main-tain a bimonthy schedule. After serious discussion among Board members and staff, we decided that the continuity of appearance and quality of material should not be sacrificed for the sake of economy. As we considered the quarterly schedule, the Board encouraged us as an editorial staff to try to Review for Religious engage our readers in a more interactive way with follow-up questions or reflection/prayer helps and, perhaps, with some sort of readers' forum or letters-to-the-editor column. As we reduce the number of regular issues of Review for Religious from six to four times a year, we intend to provide a 32-page supplement issue for the seasons of Lent and Advent which will allow us to experiment. These supplements will be included in the regular subscription price that remains the same as it has been. Since we are an international journal, we will not try to des-ignate our quarterly issues by seasons since they vary with our readers' northern or southern climates. Instead we will identify the volume number and then each issue as "Quarterly" num-bered from one to four in every year. The two supplements will be identified by the church seasons of Lent and Advent. We are grateful to you, our subscribers and readers, for your loyal support. We intend that you will find the same con-sistent high-quality articles in every issue. We also will be look-ing forward to your response to our interactive supplements, whether for possible publication or not. In fact, we welcome comments from our readers even now. We are always seeking to increase our readership and so we continue to encourage you to give a gift subscription or sug-gest that a friend or colleague subscribe. If you or your com-munity could provide a gift subscription for those financially limited communities or individuals, usually in countries other than the United States, your charity would be much appreci-ated. Either designate the gift-recipient or allow us to fund the many requests that we receiveand do not have the resources with which to respond. You then extend your own mission in wonderful ways through the mission of Review for Religious. The editors and staff of Review for Religious wish you the richest blessings of the Advent and Christmas seasons. David L. Fleming SJ November-December 2002 DAVID L. FLEMING Ignatian Invitation: Remember and Imagine ignatian spirituality Pope John Paul II issued a call to all Christians as we entered this new millennium. It is a call that he has repeated i~a many talks since he wrote his challenging letter about the new millennium back in January 2001. The Latin phrase Duc in altum expresses his challenge succinctly. We translate it as "Put out into the deep." It is, of course, Jesus' command to Peter and Andrew, James and John, and their fishing companions after they have just spent a fruitless night at their fishing occupation. As we faced a new millennium, with its unfulfilled promise and its potential disasters, John Paul said that as Christians, full of faith, we should lead the way: Duc in altum, put out into the deep. Little did we think that in the year 2001 we would experience, especially in the United States, a "deep" defined by the effect of the September 11 terrorist attack on a whole way of living. Little did we think that in 2002 we would have our economy shaken by major company fraud, abetted by accounting firms that paradoxically were not accountable. Little did we think that we would find David L. Fleming SJ, editor of this journai, presented this material as a talk at the Ignatian Spirituality Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, in July 2002. Review for Religious ourselves in a church under scrutiny for its own internal terror by a few of its priests, but a few too many, and by the lack of accountability in some of its own hierarchical leaders. Duc in altum. Yes, we feel that we are somewhere out in the deep. What are the resources that we Christians now draw on? What are the strengths of the spirituality that we try to live? I would like to share with you the strengths that I experience in Ignatian spirituality. Back in the last century--in the 1940s and '50s--part of growing up in St. Louis in the summer months was a day-long trip on the Mississippi River on the excursion boat called the Admiral. The boat left at ten o'clock in the morning from the downtown riverfront (the area where now the Arch stands), usually went south down the river just beyond the Jesuit White House Retreat, which sits on the bluffs overlooking the river, some fifteen or twenty miles down river. The boat would then circle around and buck the river currents, chugging slowly back up the river and mooring at about four o'clock in the afternoon. Being a five-deck boat, it offered a lot of room for people to meander, between air-conditioned decks and open-air decks, between a ballroom dance-floor deck and a deck for games, between restaurant areas and "bring-your-own-picnic" areas. What always made a big impression upon me were the two massive pistons, the major attraction of a noisy and hot first-deck area. These two massive arms kneading up and down were our visible representation of what moved the boat forward. To make a turn, one arm obviously would do most of the work. But the two working in unison pushed this big boat securely against the strongest of river currents. I experience Ignatian spirituality much as I experienced the Admiral excursion boat. Ignatian spirituality is something in movement. Ignatian spirituality has a lot of room within it--a lot of different decks, as it were, where we live out an Ignatian spirituality in a variety of contexts. But what intrigues me the most are the two massive pistons that allow for the movement or dynamism of Iguatian spirituality. The words with which I will identify these two pistons will surprise no one. Those of us familiar with Ignatian spirituality talk about them with ease. But what I hope to share with you is the often overlooked importance of each of these arms and, perhaps even more so, the necessity of November-December 2002 Fleming ¯ Ignatian lnvitation their working in unison if we, seeking our life's direction within an Ignatian spirituality, are to continue to move forward even amid strong and deep currents. I will use the word remembering for one arm of movement and imagining for the other. Remembering I deliberately have chosen these active verbal terms remembering and imagining rather than the more stolid noun-forms mentor)/and imagination. Ignatius is a man-in-motion, and he relates to God, to his fellow men and women, and to his world in a dynamic fashion. In his mystical intuition at the river Cardoner in Manresa, he sees God as a God who labors, an active God, a busy God. He understands that busyness, laboring, working does not take us away from a laboring God, a busy God. And so Ignatius writes with verbs and participles, a motion-oriented, vigorous style, especially in the Spiritual Exercises. We need always to keep reminding ourselves that the Exercises book, by its very title, speaks of movement, of interactivity--the activity within a person (in the retreat first of all, but in daily life as well) and the activity without, that is, all that happens outside us in the world all around us, in the circumstances of the people and things of our everyday life. Ignatian spirituality is an active spirituality, or, rather, an interactive spirituality. Noticing One of the first actions of Ignatius in developing his relationship with God is caught in the word noticing, taking note of, noting. Ignatian spirituality begins to thrive where Ignatius himself began--paying attention to various experiences, noting what is going on. In his Autobiography, Ignatius particularly emphasizes his noting of his own reactions to his daydreams about serving his king or a noble lady and his d~ydreams about doing as St. Dominic or St. Francis did. He notes what is going on inside (within) himself---the effects both short-range and longer lasting. Just as for all of us, Ignatius does not claim that he never had these kinds of experiences previously. It is just that now he notes or notices them. He also takes note of what is going on around Review for Religious him (the without). He is very observant of his world, the people in it, their various customs. Perhaps out of his piety and certainly out of his courtly training, he adopts an attitude of reverence to God, to God's people, and to God's world. Noting or noticing is all part of our attitude of reverence as we live in God's world, our home. Noting or noticing is a first and essential part of remembering, one of the two piston arms of Ignatian spirituality. Examining Another part of remembering in Ignatian spirituality is something that has received much emphasis in our day. The examen or examination of conscience has had a revitalization over the past thirty years that has put it at the forefront of, made it the signature exercise of, Ignatian spirituality. For us in North America, Jesuit George Aschenbrenner's article "Consciousness Examen" in the January-February 1972 issue of Review for Religious marked the beginning of this renaissance. Since then, the writings of John English, Joseph Tetlow, John Veltri, Dennis Hamm, and many others, Jesuits and others, have given new life to and sharp insight into the practice of the daily examen. From the Exercises book we are aware that Ignatius identifies a number of examinations. In fact, because these constitute the first material under the title First Week, we cannot miss the implication that examining is an important ingredient of making the Exercises. Obviously, our process of examining works better as we get more accustomed to noting or noticing as we move through a day. But examining remains its own special exercise, beyond noting, and remains an essential part of the piston arm we call remembering. Recalling the Story A third aspect of remembering is to be found in the Ignatian first preludes from the contemplations of the Second Week on, the preludes that recall the history of an event. "History" for Ignatius does not refer to facts of a past event. His Spanish expression, ~aer la historia (§§102, 191), emphasizes "making present the story." Ignatius does not say "bring to memory" or November-December 2002 Fle~ning ¯ Ignatian Invitation Remembering plays such an important role in Ignatian spirituality that this spirituality is clearly a reflective spirituality. "remember" the relevant ~cts. He says "recall the history bow" (the Spanish como). For Ignatius, facts are not enough. He wants us to enter into the how and why of events. The first and second preludes for a gospel contemplation are interlocked. The second prelude is a composition, sometimes erroneously identified as a "composition of place." Among more recent authors, the Jesuit William A.M. Peters brought the significance of this Ignatian usage to our attention, showing that Ignatius stresses rather the composition of ourselves within the history. We place ourselves by noting how we see the Trinity looking down upon our world; we place ourselves by noting bow the pregnant Mary, Joseph, and a little servant girl wend their way towards Bethlehem. So history and composition are tightly interlocked-- not as preliminary to prayer, but as an integral part of our prayer, which has its various focal points. Just as noting and examining are integral to the Ignatian remembering, so, I believe, the Ignatian "history," this recalling of the story, is an integral part as well. Remembering, then, plays such an important role in Ignatian spirituality that this spirituality is clearly a reflective spirituality. It is reflective in the way that scholars suggest the Hebrew Scriptures were formed--by people noting, recalling, exa.mining, reflecting on the story. Ignatian spirituality is in sync with the providential process whereby people's remembering contributed to the forming of our Scriptures. We have described one arm of Ignatius's dynamic spirituality. It is time to express a qualification, beginning with the word but. But this arm I have just described has, I believe, received overemphasis through the centuries and perhaps also in our own time. This emphasis was so great that often the second arm was practically ignored. I would like to focus now on the second piston arm of Ignatian spirituality, which I will describe by the word imagining. Review for Religious Imagining Over the past thirty years, I think that the battle about whether Ignatian spirituality predominantly makes use of an intel-lectu~ il and meditative form of prayer or a contemplative one has been won. The centuries-long controversy, in fact, may have been not so much about a way of praying as about how important imagination is in Ignatian spirituality. Even now, in the current renewal of Ignatian spirituality, I think that people do not give imagining the pride of place that Ignatian spirituality requires. Jesuits themselves are partly responsible for the lack of emphasis on this second arm of Ignatian spirituality. In most traditions, secular or ecclesial, there seems to be a continuing fear of imagination. After their forty-year suppression, I think that Jesuits in their 1814 refounding took their cue from the church climate and parroted the text of the Exercises and their own Ignatian constitutions just as American Catholics parroted the Baltimore Catechism in the 19th and 20th centuries before Vatican Council II. I believe that many of the retreats Jesuits gave to religious women in their motherhouses and to lay men and women in Jesuit retreat houses suffered from a deficient understanding of the importance of imagination in Ignatian spirituality. St. Ignatius implicitly but clearly calls for imagination when he insists on adapting the Exercises to specific retreatants, but this was often ignored. Even now, in the current renewal of Ignatian spirituality, Jesuits and others often set little store by imagination. You may be getting the picture that I think that imagining is all too scarce in people's understanding and living of Ignatian spirituality today. And, in looking to the future, I think that imagining is altogether essential. Just as I discussed three integral parts of remembering-~- noting, examining, and recalling the story--now I want to discuss three integral parts of imagining in Ignatian spirituality. I begin with contemplating, for this is again where Ignatius has left his mark on Christian spirituality. Contemplating Ignatian contemplation is focused, not on losing oneself in God, but on finding oneself with God. Contemplating is ordinarily understood as "gazing upon" the divine. In this gazing, November-December 2002 Fleming ¯ lgnatian lnvitation We tell stories not just to remember the past, but to learn for the future. the emphasis is not on the relationship between oneself and God, but rather is on being absorbed in God, lost in God, taken up into God. An example of this kind of contemplation is centering prayer. For Ignatius, however, the focus is always on relationship. Because Ignatian contemplation is ordinarily focused on gospel mysteries (that is, gospel events), we as contemplatives may, of course, get absorbed in the gospel story, but we are always consciously in relationship. For Ignatius, contemplating the gospel mysteries is the privileged way to come to know Jesus more clearly so as to love him more dearly and follow him more nearly, as the popular song from Godspell would impress upon us. A number of people today, in our media-saturated climate, claim difficulty with Ignatian contemplation for the very reason that it calls us to use our imagination. Having been spoon-fed by movies, television, and now computers and handheld Palms, we may have had our imaginations dulled. But, regardless of the cause, how do we help ourselves and others to do the imagining that Ignatius calls for? Ignatius was a romantic man, and he made active use of his imagination, as we know from his Autobiography. We ourselves may or may not be romantically inclined, but I think that most of us have told a story or two in our small world of everyday interaction with others. We tell stories about what happened to us or to others at the store, at work, at school, or on the way home. Most of us tell stories frequently. Ignatian contemplation can be understood as "telling a story." Remember what we said about the Ignatian "history": making something present to ourselves, recalling how. Contemplating for us is meant to be as involving as our own telling of a story. We have had the experience of telling the story of being at the bedside of dying Aunt Martha, and in the telling the lump in the throat and the tears come just as if we were once again in the midst of the very event. We have had some ridiculous interchange between a fellow worker and ourselves, and the event is so real that, in the retelling, tears of laughter roll down Review for Religious our own cheeks and down our listeners' cheeks as well. That kind of involvement is Ignatian contemplation. Perhaps we are not very imaginative, and the Ignatian directive of seeing the people, listening to what they say, and then watching their actions may seem very stilted and even cause us to feel frozen in our response. But I repeat that almost everyone can tell a story (and usually does in day-to-day life). And I think that, for Ignatius, contemplating and telling the story are one and the same activity. When we tell a story, we not only provide details; we also communicate meaning. Beyond that, we intimate the story's significance for ourselves and for the future. Telling the story may give us insight into our own behavior, other people's perceptions and moods, and God's ways of acting. We tell stories not just to remember the past, but to learn for the future. Telling stories is our way of imbibing wisdom. Contemplating, telling stories, looks to the future, and is an integral part of imagining. Dreaming A second aspect of imagining for Ignatius is dreaming--not nighttime dreams, but the daydreaming that is a part of youth, no matter the age. When we looked at the importance of noting for Ignatius, we observed that he had daydreams about serving the king of Spain and winning a great lady's hand; and then alternately he dreamed of serving Christ his King with great deeds like the saints of old, such as Dominic and Francis. After his wounding at Pamplona and his conversion, Ignatius never lost his ability to dream. I think we gain insight when we look upon the Call of the King meditation at the beginning of the Second Week as Ignatius's attempt to bring us into Christ's dream. Whether we take the parable king, so winning and inspiring, proposing his dream of conquering his enemies and achieving a victorious peace, or whether we consider the risen Christ calling each of us to let ourselves be caught up into his dream of the kingdom of heaven, God's reign, we are entering into a dream of future happenings. For the human king, such dreams might never be realized; for Christ, the victory of the dream is already realized in his resurrection, as we know by faith. In the Exercises, whether we consider the Three Degrees of Humility (§§165ff) or the situations described in the Second Way November-December 2002 Fleming ¯ Ignatian lnvitation to Make a Good and Sound Election (§§184ff), Ignatius presumes that most of us dream about our futures. He takes a common human experience and uses it for God. Dreaming, which is about a future still unrealized, is a use of imagination. Dreaming is an integral part of imagining in Ignatian spirituality. Visioning Similar to dreaming in Ignatian spirituality, but fixed more in the reality of what is already present, is visioning. Ignatius presents us with three vision exercises. He begins with a vision exercise known as the Principle and Foundation. He closes with an exercise tided "Contemplation on the Love of God," a vision exercise. The third vision exercise is tided the Call of the King (sometimes understood as the Second Principle and Foundation opening the Second Week and the Weeks thereafter). We have already considered it primarily under the idea of Christ presenting his dream to us, but Ignatius is careful to point out that this is more than just a dream, for the victory is assured. It is also a vision. The Principle and Foundation expresses succincdy Ignatius's way of seeing God, himself, his neighbor, and his world--in all their relations--and seeing, too, the choices to be made in living out the truth of the vision. The Contemplation on the Love of God expresses the ways of God's loving that we have reflected on and experienced through the course of the Exercises. In it we pray to be empowered to go forth and love with something of the fullness and breadth of God's loving. For Ignatius, visions present reality to us. Our effort to bring our own way of living into the vision gives us our direction into the future. Visioning, then, lik~ dreaming and contemplating, is an integral part of imagining--all three elements looking towards the future. I believe that the emphasis on imagining inherent in Ignatian spirituality is what allows it to be open, adaptable, and applicable to the future. Imagining is akin to the "blue-skying" that is so much a part of the planning process in organizational psychology. "Blue-skying" breaks us out of our usual restraints just as the image suggests. For Ignatius, imagining allows God to break into our lives because we have given up our own control, our own setting of limits. Imagining allows us to be open and Review for Religious available, to be vulnerable, to let a divine break-in help us to break out. Such imagining, then, as Ignatius discovered, becomes a way of working with God in the direction that God calls us. Recall that it is two piston arms that give Ignatian spirituality its dynamism: remembering and imagining. These terms mean more than a casual "look back" and then a "look forward," and neither one is to be chosen over the other. The genius of Ignatius was to see how only both working together would provide the forward dynamism that is summed up in the often misunderstood phrase "spiritual freedom." Being Free We are free only if we know, acknowledge, and work with our own personal history. But we need something more. We are free only if we are not limited or shackled by our past or present so that we can imagine the fi~ture that we are invited to by God. In Ignatius's experience, human freedom is a gift of God, but only a potential one. Actual freedom requires us to join together our remembering and our imagining. To be more exact, for us people of faith the gift of freedom is realized only in its relationship with the gift of God's grace. Then human freedom is experienced--Ignatius would say, using the Spanish word liberalidad--as generosity. I think, indeed, that liberalidad is better translated self-giving. Liberalidad well describes God's way of loving, a loving without limits, and yet always a discreet love. For Ignatius, a love without limits is a love of discretion because of reverence. The reverence that God shows to each of us, his children, is meant to be the pattern of our own way of loving. As the Third and Fourth Weeks show, God's love, incarnate in Jesus, will not be limited even by threat of death or death itself. And, in his risen life, Jesus lives the discreet love of never forcing but eliciting our response. Jesus' interaction with Thomas a week after the resurrection shows Love eliciting love. There are no limits to God's love, but, his reverence for us being so great, God always loves us with discretion. Human freedom, what we sometimes call spiritual freedom, is about giving oneself, sharing who we are. Freedom in its essence is not focused on one's independence or on concern about one's rights. For Ignatius, as we are reminded in his November-December 2002 Fleming ¯ Ignatian Invitation prenote to the Contemplation on the Love of God, lovers want to express their love in deeds more than words, and lovers want to communicate (the Ignatian word communicar) or share what they have with the one they love. It is in self-giving, in mutual sharing, mutual surrender, that human freedom is most strongly experienced. It is in this experience of generosity that true love is experienced between God and us and between wife and husband and between all who love. Ignatian generosity is not just a giving as in giving away; it is a sharing, a communication back and forth between two parties. "More !" The dynamism of Ignatian spirituality is sometimes identified with the Latin word magis, "More!" Looking for more seems to indicate a discontent with what is. Wanting more--for example, more food, more money, more successmcan be a devil-driven quality that makes us desire to be our own gods. To put magis in focus, we need to recognize that Ignatius's meaning of the word is in relation to love that has no limits, but nevertheless is always discreet. In ottier words, magis for Ignatius is a relationship word, a word having meaning in terms of personal relationships, in terms of love, reverential love. For Ignatius, God-given love is the only thing, the only giving, that gives proper meaning to "More!"--the love given freely, in generosity and always in reverence, just as God loves. Into the Deep In the same apostolic letter that Pope John Paul told us Christians to "set out into the deep" in this new millennium, he also gave a name to the spirituality that was to empower us in this endeavor. He called all Christians to live a "spirituality of communion." The pope made little attempt to define it and certainly did not identify this spirituality of communion with any one school or tradition of spirituality. The word communion, we note, does not come from the Latin unio and cure, meaning "union with." Rather, with its two re's, communio (from the Latin munus and cure) expresses a "functioning or working with." The usual English meaning of Review for Religious "communion"--that is, "union with"--will result from our "working together," but there seems to be an emphasis on activity, a real working at something together. The pope has called us all to live a spirituality of communion--to live a working-together spirituality--in a world in which divorce and family divisions are rampant, a world in which the meanness and divisiveness of racial, cultural, and economic differences have turned various cities and countries into war zones, a world in which our churches are divided between conservative (or traditional) factions and liberal (or progressive) ones, and a world in which religious faith itself is used as the excuse for the hatred, violence, and death visible in Europe, visible in the Middle East, visible in Africa, visible in India, and there are always more. The spirituality that is needed for us to face this world, the pope says, is above all a spirituality of communion. It is a provocative expression for a spirituality that looks to the future--"working together at bringing together." What is Ignatius's invitation to us today? It really does not differ from his invitation to the men and women of his own time in the 16th century. Perhaps we see the makeup of his spirituality more clearly today, finding it attractive in the face of the demands of our times. Perhaps we are more needy today, more in need of what this spirituality offers. Perhaps Ignatian spirituality shows the way to a reverence for all relationships in our world, so missing in secular culture and perhaps obscured in our church too. Whatever the appeal of Ignatian spirituality, I know that it concretizes for us a spirituality of communion--a "working together at bringing together." We need to be fed by God's word, by "every utterance that comes from the mouth of God," if we are to live and actively minister in our church today. For this, it can help to hold on to the word remembering, noting, examining, and recalling the story of events that have gone into the making of who we are--but not letting the past encapsulate us or drive us. We need to allow our creator God to break into our lives with creativity, and so it can help to hold on to the word imagining, contemplating, dreaming, and visioning activities that allow God to enter our life and accompany us into a world of generosity that only a truly'free person can know. When we remember God's love from past events and when we imagine God's call to greater love, more generosity, in the November-December 2002 Fleming ¯ Ignatian Invitation future, we are able to experience the magis (the "More!"), a love that is free and discreet, not driven, because of God's reverence for us and our reverent response. With a discreet love that knows no limits, we enter into Jesus' way of loving, into all the activity of God's way of loving. We are free to share our gifts, to be present, to give of ourselves, to labor and struggle and not count the cost. Whatever our situation, we may hear St. Ignatius echoing Pope John Paul: Yes, put out into the deep, be empowered with a spirituality of communion, look beyond patriarchy, foster mutuality, look towards solidarity, "work together at bringing together." Father Pedro Arrupe, the former superior general of the Jesuits, often used to ask challengingly, "Como?" or, in English, "How to do?" I can see Ignatius responding: "Remember and imagine." I can see Ignatius softly reminding us that there is a magis because there is Love. More softly still he adds, "Remember, imagine. See Jesus, our crucified Love." Adirondack Dawn Such intense stillness - no birdsong greets my ears, but only the whisper of lake water lapping the shore and birch leaves rustling ever so slightly. A faint cloud of incense rises from the misty waters, perfumed by the aroma of fragrant pine forests. Nature and I stand mute, awed by the miracle of this new day being birthed in such splendor. Christine Diensberg OSF Review for Religious IGNATIUS JESUDASAN Ignatian Indifference and Structural Constraints ~sehraneet lSy tu. nIgcnhaaltlieunsg reedfe cros ntcoe apst Gino odu'rs pwluilrla ilsis htiacr tdilmy eas. For him and his contemporaries, God was the indubitably trustworthy and unshakable rock on which to secure one's choice and commitment. Our age and culture do not believe in and recognize God as patently as previous ones did. Ours is a secular era, which understands and is at home with only secular language and thought. As contemporaries of this era, we cannot use any other language if we seriously want to address people of our era and be understood by them. In the context of seeking and finding God's will with regard to important decisions at the crossroads of one's life, St. Ignatius is, in effect, speaking of "affective indifference." In common parlance, this is a state of peace unruffled by the emotions of joy, hope, fear, and anxiety about actual or possible happenings. Anxiety is an indicator of attachment to something or someone and of the consequent fear of losing or becoming distanced from that object or person. Attachment can also be to one's own will, interests, or powers. Regarding decisions to be made by individuals and groups, we can use this language to approximate what Ignatius calls God's Ignatius Jesudasan SJ, new to our pages, writes from Loyola School; Uthiramerur 603 406; India. November-December 2002 Jesudasan ¯ Ignatian Indifference and Structural Constraints Images can be obstacles to affective indifference. A will. He desires to help people find as complete a freedom and objectivity as is obtainable or realizable on earth, so that they may be peacefully sure of making the right decision in current circumstances and the prevailing state of knowledge, avoiding needless errors of judgment and resulting difficulties, regrets, and recriminations. Affective indifference means freedom from emotional attachment or aversion to someone or something that a decision concerns or affects. Attachment and aversion are prejudices for or against someone or something. When one makes a decision on the basis of a prejudice, one is far from being fair to all involved in or affected by the decision. This unfairness comes ultimately from one or another prejudicial structure. Ignatius's stress on emotional or affective indifference can be seen as stemming from his concern about social structures with their social prejudices. Within those structures he sees the obviously unstable and changing nature of the emotions of both liking and disliking. His wish and desire is to help people achieve a stable social structure wherein all can be at peace together. This means that personal decisions people make need to be firm, steady, and. dependable. Affective indifference or lack of it has a bearing on social structures, and vice versa. People's most common difficulty in achieving and retaining affective indifference arises from the way their likes and dislikes make relationships unstable, opportunistic, exploitive, and irresponsible instead of stable, edifying, principled, virtuous, and responsible. People get stuck in webs of negative relationships from which only great effort, suffering, and sacrifice could extricate them--things they are not likely to desire. Often the very positions people occupy in an institution are obstacles to affective indifference, especially positions of great power, wealth, esteem, and influence. This can be true in the church and in institutions of religious congregations. Images can be obstficles to affective indifference. The image that people have or might get of you, or the image that you want to project of yourself, say of clarity and firmness, can make you Review for Religious inflexible. But you flatter yourself---and, when you are in power, there are also others to flatter you--with having that clarity and firmness. Such inflexible consistency is likely to be the very opposite of affective indifference and of psychological and spiritual freedom. It is perhaps a sign of the times and a clue to what they are reading that major superiors call for feedback on their governance. One hopes that they do this in openness and Ignatian indifference to the diverse opinions expressed. Needless to say, the teaching of St. Ignatius on indifference applies no less to superiors and their attitudes and decisions than to the ordinary members of his Society. Superiors have a duty to ask it of their subjects, and subjects have the reciprocal right to expect it from their superiors. Without it, religious governance would be no different from that of any secular, efficient, and exploitive military organization. The very call for feedback is a sign of a personal government, one that respects every member and takes the whole of his personality into account in decisions that affect him. This implies that the superior follows up, observes carefully, and, from what he sees and hears, learns how the subject has responded and how effectively he is accomplishing the assignment. Subjects might, of course, deliberately give false impressions. The superior might not interpret the information objectively, might bring prejudice to it, a lack of affective indifference. Depending on the patterns overall, the decision, its result, and the reading of the resulting situation will qualify as just clever and efficient, or else as also holy. An order made or given in affective indifference (and thus without prejudice) can be expected to be received with affective indifference by the subject. When there is resistance or reservation on the part of subjects who are usually affectively indifferent, there may be an absence of indifference on the part of the superior. The indicator of affective indifference is readiness to listen to the reasons and feelings of people on the other side. Indifference is total presence, availability, and attention to the other. It presupposes a measure of leisure and empathy to move with the other's flow of feeling, understanding, motivation, decision, commitment, and action. It is identification with the November-December 2002 ~esudasan ¯ I~natian Indifference and Structural Constraints other; it is objectivity with and transparency to the other. It is a state of perfect understanding, with a naturally contagious mutuality. The above is a description of a desirable ideal. The reality is very different on both sides. For we are all "busy" and in a hurry to achieve: make a name, prove a point, or teach a lesson--all in a short time. The result is that we do not achieve a solid objectivity, but make a show of power or of ourselves and our self-will, unaware of what we project and the violence we inflict on others because we do not see ourselves with their eyes: because in fact we are not indifferent. There are other structural hindrances to affective indifference. Being conditioned to structures can be the first. Some structures are inevitable and therefore function as criteria of indifference. Other structures, like tight schedules and strict procedures, militate against indifference. The greater the work, haste, power, prestige, or public image in one's life, the less time and likelihood there is for self-questioning. Thus one becomes extrovert and self-justifying, revealing the absence of detachment and indifference. When one is vested with much power or authority, one seems threatening to others, and the perceived threat erodes their indifference too. Another hindrance is that structures themselves, the very forms and formalities of objectivity, may have lacunae. That is, they may be objective only on the dubious assumption of perfect indifference on the part of decision makers and consultors. In decisions about a subject's psychological illness or resistance to change, the person involved may be physically absent from the scene of decision, and there may be a real possibility of his being prejudicially misrepresented because someone at the meeting likes or dislikes him. This writer became aware of one such misrepresentation and pointed it out. The superior, when informed, was apparently honest and humble enough to accept the correction, but the decision had already-been made in the absence of the subject and on the basis of a misunderstanding of a text. How sure is one that the information supplied to the consultors at the decision-making session is correct? When the basis of the decision is incomplete or incorrect, how complete and correct can the decision be? The probability is that this was not a unique occurrence. But Review for Religious how and why do such instances occur? They occur from the ex-parte nature of the decision or proceedings in the absence of the concerned person. The system does not have a built-in transparency for all concerned. Between the superior and the consultors, there may be some transparency. But, if the superior had the right to decide the matter after his face-to-face discussion with the concerned person but chooses, permissibly but without necessity, to bring the matter before his consultors, the subject's trust in the proceedings tends to be shaken. When the subject's personal indifference is not great, accepting the communicated decision is difficult, and the subject is left with the impression that the decision makers are no more indifferent than he himself is. It is likely that bias affects the decision precisely because the proceedings go on without the concerned person. In a personal government, transparency to the persons concerned is more important than transparency to a mechanism of decision making. Personal transparency is more likely to induce or educe a subject's indifference than an authoritarian structural mechanism like an official meeting of consultors. Besides, transparency to a mechanism risks betraying information that is passed on to a superior in confidence, and will only serve to make people opaque and nontransparent. If both trust and transparency are to be preserved along with the existing mechanisms and ways of proceeding,' the persons whom decisions concern will have to be asked to be present when the decisions are made. Otherwise, decisions are perceived as unfair and confidence is further eroded. A bigger structural constraint is the centralization of power and portfolios in the hands of one major superior. I am not advocating the appointment of more major superiors, but a suggesting that there may need to be decentralization and How sure is one that the information supplied to the consultors at the decision-making session is correct? November-December 2002 z~esudasan * Ignatian Indifference and Structural Constraints democratization of power at all levels, with the right to appeal to a higher superior when there is disagreement or conflict at any level. Democratization can be ensured by dialogue and wider consultation and by opening the local consultors' meetings to any and all members of the local community who are interested. The content or agenda of every such meeting should be announced beforehand. When a member and his works are discussed, he should have to be present. Entrusting more powers to local superiors in dialogue with their consultors and their community could ensure decentralization, but there should also be appeal to the higher superior in case of conflict or disagreements. Only that which cannot be resolved or decided upon by the local superior and community should be referred to the higher superior and his consult. When individual members feel that their voice is heard at the appropriate and necessary levels, the level of their confidence and indifference will increase. 5-841 Walking with Jesus I stroll along the water's edge tiny shorebirds my companions scurrying for morsels of food God provides in the receding tide.

WHALEN The Emergence of the Contemporary Traditionalists If indeed a picture is worth a thousand words, let me begin with a few verbal snapshots. The first is of a meeting of the liturgy/chaplaincy committee at a prominent Catholic university. Seated around the table are the priest chaplain, a full-time lay chaplain, and a half dozen or so students. The topic for discussion is what chaplaincy might offer by way of special services during Lent. Several suggestions generate little response. Then a student proposes an all-night Eucharistic vigil before the exposed Blessed Sacrament. The priest chaplain is amazed, and highly skeptical of its success, but feels he must go along with the suggestion if only to prove to the committee that such practices no longer attract the young. On the evening selected a brief exposition service is held with a surprising number of students present. The priest chaplain retires, setting his clock to wake him in the middle of the night so that there is sure to be someone present especially in case of an emergency. ministry formation David M. Whalen OSFS, an Oblate of St. Francis de Sales, teaches in the University of St. Michael's College. His address is Faculty of Theology/USMC; 81 St. Mary Street; Toronto, Ontario M5S 1J4; Canada. November-December 2002 Wbalen ¯ Contemporary Traditionalists As he enters the chapel, he is astonished by what he sees. There are young people everywhere. Some are on their knees. Others are sitting on the floor against the wall. Some have a Bible in one hand and a water' bottle in the other. There are even a few young students who have fallen asleep right at the foot of the altar. A second visit several hours later shows a scene almost identical to the first. The second snapshot is of a recent ~rdination. Only one man is being ordained. The concelebrating clergy section is comfortably filled with an assortment of "fifty-something" priests in albs and stoles of various design. Seated in the congregation are two additional priests, men in their mid sixties. Neither is in clerical attire. They have concerns about the overly clerical nature of the ordination ceremony and what they consider clericalism in general. For most of their priestly life, they have been in the vanguard of theological and liturgical change. Right in front of them are seated two seminarians, each in black suit and Roman collar. One sports a bright silver earring in each ear. The final snapshot is taken on the streets of Toronto, Canada, at the outset 'of World Youth Day. Walking down the street past the university are four or five religious sisters in full habit. By full habit I mean ankle-length dress, scapular, rosary hanging alongside, and a full back veil. One concession to modernity is evident. Since they do not wear a forehead cover, glimpses of black hair can be seen. Their progression down the street is continually interrupted by groups of young people who stop and talk with them, and, while I am not privy to the conversation, it appears friendly and positive. Whoever these sisters are and wherever they are from, it is clear that they are welcome in the eyes of the youth gathering in the city. These, of course, are only three snapshots. Though I could offer many more, they seem to capture bits and pieces of what I am calling contemporary traditionalism. I am a priest and religious in my late fifties. I grew up in a traditional Roman Catholic family, attended the local parish elementary school and the local Catholic high school. I entered my religious community right out of high school. My postulancy, novitiate, and first two years of professed life preceded Vatican Council 1I. The remainder of my formation took place right in Review for Religious the midst of the council. My priestly ministry began and continues in the post-Vatican lI era. My ministry has been chiefly in education, first as a high school teacher and administrator and now for twenty years at the university level. I teach in a faculty of theology attached to a university. I have also been a member of my congregation's formation team for close to twenty years. On weekends I assist in parishes. I refer to myself as part of the "bridge" generation, that is, the generation that lived before and after Vatican My doctoral work dealt with ministerial identity. Using qualitative or thick research, I studied a group of theology students, mostly lay, for one year, looking for indications of whether, when, where, and how they appropriated a ministerial identity. Religious/ministerial identity still intrigues me. What follows in this article is some informal qualitative research, that is, an attempt to look in some depth and over an extended period of time at a particular issue. Qualitative research does not permit long-range projections, and both the writer and reader need to be aware of that limitation. On the other hand, qualitative research, even of the informal variety, may suggest that the issue under scrutiny deserves some serious investigation. For several years now I have been fascinated by the growing number of people who seem to be forging a new religious identity. Many of these people have been students in my classes. Others have been a part of our formation program at one point or another. Some come from my parish experience. I refer to these people as the contemporary traditionalists. They are men and women in their twenties and thirties. Most of them are university educated, and many are now pursuing graduate studies. Theirs is the world of cyberspace and technology. Just as I would be reluctant to leave the house in the morning without my wristwatch, they do not think of leaving their residence without cell phone and PalmPilot in hand. They are much more likely to get their daily news from I have been fascinated by the growing number of people who seem to be forging a new religio ts identity. November-December 2002 VVbalen ¯ Contem~orar[ Traditionalists the Internet than from the printed newspaper. They are educated, although their educational resources are very different from mine. While I still like to hold a book and have no difficulty roaming through the stacks in a library to find the book I want, they are much more likely to use the Internet and its resources than library stacks. I continue to be amazed as the bibliography of student essays indicates more downloaded articles than traditional "hard" text references. They have only known one pope, John Paul II. They have known the liturgy only in the vernacular. Events like Vatican II, the Vietnam war, and indeed the Persian Gulf war are all historical events for them, just as Vatican Council I and Trent were for my generation. Although their Internet abilities give them a global access, they are surprisingly apolitical. They find pictures of campus disruptions in the 1960s and 1970s mildly amusing. They are generous in volunteering for local efforts to help the poor or marginalized, but not much interested in what seem the deeper structural issues that cause such poverty. It is in the broad area of theology and religious practice, though, that their contemporary traditionalism is most evident. In moral theology, for example, specifically regarding divorce and remarriage, homosexuality, and abortion and contraception, they seem at first glance totally supportive of the church's current teaching, but as conversation continues one notices the contemporary side of their traditionalism in what I call their "exemption" or "notwithstanding" clause. They believe that marriage is for life, they do not believe in divorce or remarriage of the divorced, and yet they not only are not condemnatory of divorced and remarried people they know, but often express the conviction that such people ought to be admitted to the sacraments under certain nonspecified conditions. They see no difficulty in holding a traditional position about marriage and sometimes granting exemptions to church restrictions by way of a "notwithstanding" clause. They take a similar stand regarding homosexuality. While terms such as "intrinsic disorder" are not part of their vocabulary, they seem to believe that homosexuality ought not enjoy the same status as heterosexuality. But, expressin, g such concern about the issue, in the abstract, they are quick to cite the Review for Religious gays and lesbians they know firsthand, particularly those in generous committed relationships, as persons who should be granted an exemption to the church prohibitions. They are strongly opposed to abortions. In fact, an antiabortion protest is one of the few protests in which they will participate. They do not believe in free or recreational sex, but they seem much less concerned about artificial contraception whether used in or out of marriage. They have this relative unconcern particularly in the case of young people who they think have not yet reached a certain level of moral development. People call this theological approach cafeteria theology, a pick-and-choose theological stance, or a revival of situational ethics, but the contemporary traditionalists do not seem to see it that way at all. They seem to see it as an interim theology. I have had occasion to speak with a young man who acknowledges privately that he is gay. lie does not consider himself intrinsically disordered--in fact, the term means little to him--and yet he is willing to live by the church's current expec-tations. He supports neither the "queer culture" nor the church-sanctioned support group for homosexuals called Courage. He does not think either of these groups contributes much to the cause. He is convinced that the church's teaching will change in time and seems willing to wait for it to change. He has friends who are less patient than he is, and, while he does not agree with them, at least in some instances he seems willing to grant them an "exemption" or "notwithstanding" clause. In other areas of theology, many of these young people appear to be theologically illiterate. My generation grew up with a question-and-answer form of religious education that provided a certain primitive theological literacy along with some problematic side effects, but the contemporary traditionalists do not seem to have even a primitive theological literacy. This is true even of students who are studying theology. But the contemporary traditionalists do not seem to have even a primitive theological literacy. November-December 2002 Wbalen ¯ Contemporary Traditionalists --5.90 In one of the classes I teach, I invite students at a certain point in the course to go to their "theological treasury" and find elements that they can place in conversation with their contemporary experience. A student responded by saying, "My theological treasury is bare. Someone got in before me and robbed me of everything." His opinion seemed to be that of many in the class. While many of my generation have bemoaned the style, language, and structure of the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, I am amazed at how many students consider it one of the most valuable documents in their possession. They are more likely to have this on their bookshelf than the documents of Vatican II. It is in the broad area .of liturgy/spirituality/piety, though, that the contemporary traditionalists seem most clearly identifiable. These contemporary traditionalists are searching desperately for a genuine Christian and Catholic spirituality. Last year, for example, my introductory course in spiritual direction had the highest enrollment of any course in our faculty of theology. Class evaluations were overwhelmingly positive. While in moments of pride I am quick to think that the positive response centered on me as teacher, comments suggest that their enthusiasm was for the content, not the professor. My generation was delighted when the first home Masses began to be celebrated. Gone were the long rows of pews. Instead, friends sat around a coffee table with a relaxed and much more informal ritual. The priest, if he wore any liturgical garb at all, probably wore only a .simple stole. There was always a "shared" homily and a very warm exchange of peace before the Eucharist itself was shared. The contemporary traditionalists are clearly not excited by the casual liturgy of the 1970s. They are tired of "sharing" their feelings about the readings. One student said to me, "From grade one on, all anyone ever asked me was what I felt about this or that. What I feel now is that I need a litde more information rather than another round of everyone's feelings on the topic." Almost universally, the contemporary traditionalists are critical of the way liturgy is celebrated today. They seem to find many parish liturgies and many of the clergy incapable of creating the sacred moment for them. As for p.reaching, they Review for Religious would much rather read a passage from one of the church fathers than listen to a homily. One student said to me: "Look, I already have a degree in psychology, and frankly my parish priest's attempt to speak psychologically falls flat. If he has nothing theological to say, I wish he would just sit down and shut up!" The traditional part of the student keeps him going to church while the contemporary part is constantly searching for another option. Some contemporary traditionalists are rediscovering various pious practices in the church. One student told me that from childhood on she had wondered what the various pictures were that graced the walls of her parish church. What she was referring to are the Stations of the Cross. While surfing the net, she came upon a copy of prayers and reflections designed to accompany the Stations. Waiting for a time when she felt "safe" in walking the Stations, she came to the church and walked them and prayed them. Her comment and question to me was "Why are these such a bigsecret tooay." ~" In addition to the retrieval of many traditional devotions from the past, the more contemporary practice known as Taiz4 Prayer appears very common among the contemporary traditionalists. Taiz4 Prayer, modeled on that used by the monks of Taiz~ in France, combines simple chanted scriptural phrases, mostly in Latin, with periods of silent prayer and usually concludes with a veneration of the cross. As the snapshots I gave you at the beginning of this essay hinted, the contemporary traditionalists have no difficulty with visible manifestations of their religious beliefs. They seem somewhat intrigued by the fact that so many religious and priests have abandoned religious clothing and other religious symbols. At the same time they know very few religious. Although many of them have attended Catholic elementary and secondary schools and in some cases Catholic universities, few if any of them were The contemporary traditionalists have no difficulty with visible manifestations of their religious beliefs. November-December 2002 Whalen ¯ Contemporary Traditionalists ever taught by priests, brothers, or sisters. They are much more likely to identify sisters with the late Mother Teresa or with Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act than with an actual still-living religious woman. And, while there is a world of difference between the late Mother Teresa and the Whoopi Goldberg version of a sister, the contemporary.traditionalists find both very enticing. One young male religious in a religious community that has a visibly distinct religious habit told me that the "habit" issue is not his issue; it is an issue for the "older" members, who still seem to be fighting for something that his generation has little time or sympathy for. This gap between many of the contemporary traditionalists and many of the current generation of religious was brought home to me vividly by a simple line from a young woman beginning consecrated life. The Canadian Film Board spent a year following this young woman through the process of applying to and eventually entering a religious community. One scene in particular drew nay attention. It shows her filling out the questionnaire sent by the community as part of the admission process. One question asks, "Have you ever dated?" The young woman turns and faces the camera with a bit of a grin, rolls her eyes upward, and says "How fifties-ish!" In many ways that comment seems to represent the attitude of the contemporary traditionalists as they confront the church and ministry and religious life today. Their issues, their lifestyle, their questions and concerns are simply different from those of stereotypical conservatives or liberals. Those ideas, those agendas, are so "fifties-ish" or so "sixties-ish"! Another difference between the contemporary traditionalists and the usual conservative or liberal "suspects" and representativFs is on the matters of married clergy and women priests. The traditional side of these young contemporaries supports an all-male celibate clergy, but for many of them what is important is not the clergy's gender or marital status, but rather its authenticity. Given the option between a celibate but incompetent male priest and a liturgy presided over by someone of the caliber of Mother Teresa, they are prepared to use their "notwithstanding" clause in favor of the woman. In their eyes, this is not inconsistency; it is yet another example of different concerns and their use of the "exception" or "notwithstanding" theology option. Review for Religious Whether these contemporary traditionalists are merely a passing blip on the great Jumbo-Tron of religion today or are a whole new picture slowly replacing an older picture it is probably too early to tell. Still, it seem to me that such contemporary traditionalists are the ones most likely to investigate consecrated life or the priesthood today. Whether the religious communities and dioceses that have assumed--by deliberate choice or simply by default--a standard conservative or liberal posture will be welcoming of them and their way of life remains to be seen. Epiphany Like one of the magi, you journey toward the Light. There's more wilderness than you would have thought, uncharted plains stretching from yesterday to remote Decembers. You could lose your courage or your way and scan the sky for twinkling clues. But it requires no gift of gold or frankincense for God to grant epiphanies. Unexpected stars have risen in your darkest nights, and always just in time. So you were not surprised at what you heard today. The magi's star, absent for a while, would of course shine forth again, be fair oasis brightening the desert of vast sky and luring, as stars do, curious travelers to the very feet of new-begotten God. Patricia Schnapp RSM November-December 2002 GUY B. WILSON A Collaborative Model of Missionary Formation Imn the past four years we have developed in Costa Pica a odel of formation for our new members. The model is based on religious and lay people working together. This article is an attempt to articulate the philosophy, theology, spirituality, and practice of our experience with this model. The model is inspired by the vision and pioneering work of our founder, Father Thomas Augustine Judge. He began an apostolic organization of laypersons, the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate,and then founded two religious congregations, one for women, the Missionary Servants of Most Blessed Trinity, and one for men, the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity. He encouraged us all to collaborate as a missionary community or family. Our Rule, constitution, and documents promote this interdependence and cooperation. The new Manual of Forma-tion for the men religious emphasizes the common history and the shared vocation we have with the other branches and takes our collaboration with them for granted. Our religious have been working in teams with laypersons, sharing gifts, ministries, and faith. We are doing so more and Guy B. Wilson ST, a member of the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity, first published this description of formation principle and practice in his congregation's newsletter, Tri-Com. He can be addressed at Cenficulo Misionero San Jos~; Apartado Postal 191-3100; Santo Domingo de Heredia; Costa Rica. Review for Religious more in our promotion of parish life and the life of pastoral centers. In these places the three groups share responsibilities, power, and decisions to enrich the ministry of evangelization and to strengthen the missionary vocation of all. In Costa Rica we have applied this pastoral model of collaboration to the formation of our men religious. In this model, the laypersons are key. They form an integral part of the formation team with the director. They share responsibilities and decisions. As they do in pastoral ministry, they gready enrich the ministry of formation. Religious and laypersons, by forming community and working together as teams, model for the seminarians the reality of the church. They form a microcosm of the church, men and women, lay and religious, married and celibate, all united in their faith and promoting the mission of Jesus. This collaboration reflects the church as the people of God, an important image articulated in the documents of the Second Vatican Council. All the baptized are called to participate, with their gifts and faith, in the mission of Jesus. Laypersons, with their practical experience of day-to-day struggles and successes and with their varied professional backgrounds, have much to offer to formation ministry. Our young men have benefited from being accompanied in their religious vocation by a psychologist and father of a family, by a mother of adolescents who is also a financial administrator, by a grandmother and pastoral coordinator, and by an experienced lay missionary. Our candidates and newly professed are in an intensive process directed towards serving the people of God. It is crucial that the people of God are intimately present in their formation. This model shows laypersons and religiou~ united through their baptismal commission in promoting the mission of Jesus. It is an important change from priestly and religious vocations being enthroned above the lay vocation. The participation of women is essential not only in the ministry of the church but also in the formation of our men religious. Their perspective on life, the gospel, faith, and motherhood enriches the formation of our men in their otherwise male-dominated world. The women who have worked on this team have helped to create an environment of trust and accessibility. The seminarians feel at home in November-December 2002 Wilson ¯ A Collaborative Model of Missionary Formation approaching them to talk and seek counsel. At the same time, because of this relationship, the women have been able to challenge our young men to mature personally and grow in their religious identity. We want our future religious to reflect, in their relationships with all and especially with women, the harmony, intimacy, love, and collaboration promoted in our devotion to the Holy Trinity. Spiritual and Theological Bases This model of collaboration is based on the vision and charism of our founder. Father Judge referred to the lay apostolic organization and the men's and women's religious congregations he founded as the Missionary Cenacle. He emphasized that we work and share together the spirit of the first Christian community, the cenacle. The cenacle (the upper room where the Jesus' followers were gathered at Pentecost) is the image and model for this formation program. The formation community comprises men and women, laypersons and religious, and people from different cultures, all guided in faith and mission by the Holy Spirit. In the interaction of the cenacle, the members of the formation community are helped to develop their various gifts for use in their mission ministry. "It is the same and only Spirit who gives all these gifts and powers, deciding which each one of us should have" (1 Co 12:11). It is the Holy Spirit who prepares us for mission. This ministry calls us to adopt a prophetic stance that flows from the spirituality and ecclesiology of our founder. He selected the cenacle as the model of the interdependence of his missionary family of religious and lay people. The renewal promoted by the Second Vatican Council also suggests a formation style of collaboration. The Triniw is the main image for the church's community and mission. The Trinity, as a model of collaboration, encourages dialogue and shared ministry in our formation endeavors. Our efforts to glorify the triune God have brought us to a commitment of collaboration in community and mission with the branches of the Missionary Cenacle, lay and religious. As the Father collaborates with the Son and Holy Spirit in distinct and specific ways to actualize the saving mission, we as a formation Review for Religious team intend to collaborate in the ministry of formation of our candidates and newly professed. We form not only a team with specific duties but also a formation community in which our faith and shared ministries testify to the life and mission of Jesus. Jesus, sent by the Father, sends his missionaries or apostles to realize his mission. As people sent by Jesus, we are designated to cooperate in the labor of the Holy Spirit in the vocational development and the missioning of our brothers. Jesus is our key and door to the mystery of the Trinity. Our devotional knowledge of the incarnation brings us to a greater intimacy with Jesus. This devotion teaches us that, with all our graces and all our defects, we are sent. As humble and grateful members of the Body of Christ, we understand that our collaboration with Jesus' mission involves using the variety of our gifts. These gifts enrich the formation ministry as we accompany the candidates and newly professed in their spiritual, human, communal, and apostolic development. This model of interdependence and collaboration has several aspects. First, the religious life and its formation are not isolated from the world. The previous model of priestly and religious formation separated seminarians from the people of God in their daily life. The seminarians lived, prayed, studied, and socialized amid priestly formators and other seminarians. Only priests, normally with an academic emphasis, were chosen to direct the seminarians. The role of the laity in their formation, if it existed, was limited to classroom teaching or to consulting on specific matters. Often this environment produced elitist attitudes. The present model of formation emphasizes helping seminarians develop their capacity to live relationally with other seminarians, lay people and religious, men and women. The Formation Team The formation team of the Missionary Servants in Costa Rica comprises a religious priest as director, a layman as associate director, and a laywoman as the pastoral supervisor. This team accompanies the propaedeutic, prenovitiate, and postnovitiate formation programs. The cooperation of laypersons increases the pool of those who can dedicate themselves to formation. In our situation this is a great advantage, for we have few religious November-December 2002 Wilson ¯ A Collaborative Model of Missionary Formation available for this ministry. Also, the laypersons, through their professional training and experience, have improved the quality of formation. Our associate director, for example, a professional psychologist, has strengthened our efforts to foster the seminarians' personal growth. He has implemented extensive workshops on personal growth, sexuality, maturity, and group dynamics. Using his professional vision and understanding of the expectations of our congregation and the needs of the church, he has selected various other professionals to accompany our young men towards maturity. Likewise, the pastoral supervisor has arranged to have our seminarians trained and evaluated in their apostolic endeavors along with our lay missionaries. The apostolates have improved significandy. Our students and the lay apostles cooperatively help one another. The participation of women in the formation program has strengthened the seminarians' ability to relate to and work with both men and women. The model produces a healthy environment for our young men and for the director. Exchange and dialogue help the seminarians and also help the director in making decisions for their sake. Likewise, open sharing with lay formators is a blessing for the personal and spiritual life of the director. By challenging me daily to become a better director and religious, the lay members of the team strengthen my vocation. On the other hand, the laypersons who participate or have participated speak of the profound spiritual, apostolic, and faith growth they experience in this exchange with religious and seminarians. They are grateful for what God is doing in their lives through this relationship. The Formation Programs The formation team is responsible for three programs: propaedeutic, prenovitiate, and postnovitiate. The programs are distinct, but are located on the same property. Each program has its own living and recreational areas. I have observed certain advantages to the proximity of the programs. First, it helps economically. One team serves the three programs, and the expenses of domestic employees, property taxes, financial administration, and so forth are reduced. Second, there is good Revie~v for Religious communal interaction. The young men in the three programs share the same Eucharistic table and the common table. This has helped to build community in number, participation, and spirit. They share sports activities and work in teams. The participants of the three programs form apostolic teams with the members of our lay branch, many of whom celebrate the daily liturgies with us. All the programs study at ITAC (Instituto Teol6gico de Am4rica Central), which was formed to educate religious. The international environment has greatly enriched the formation programs in Costa Rica. The formation team consists of members from the United States, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. The candidates and newly professed are from nine different nations of Central America, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, and Mexico. At the theological institute, there are students from sixteen countries and a number of religious congregations. The cultural exchange broadens everyone's worldview and promotes the vision of one America among the Americas. The formation community includes a retired religious, another religious priest (vocation director), two members of our lay organization who work in the seminary (financial administrator and academic advisor), and lay apostles from the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate who gather in our center for formation and apostolates, sharing prayer and training with our seminarians. All the members of the team have participated in programs designated for formators. The Formation of the Team All the members of the team have participated in programs designated for formators. The programs emphasize personal and spiritual development as well as methods of sharing ministries. Most of these people have attended pr.ograms of the Instituto Central de Espiritualidad in Guatemala under the leadership of Father Carlos Cabarrus SJ. They also attend theology classes at L-Y99-- November-December 2002 Wilson ¯ A Collaborative Model of Missionary Formation ITAC. They gather in retreat once a year and pray together frequently. All members of the team participate in spiritual direction. Concerns have been voiced in regard to the role of laypersons in the formation of our religious. There is a concern that, in this collaborative model of formation, our professed will not develop a clear identity as religious. From my observation over these years, our young men's religious identity is actually reinforced. In particular, the laity demand and challenge our candidates and professed to be faithful to their vocation and religious way of life. They likewise encourage our young professed to share the richness of their studies and spiritual and apostolic training with them for the benefit of the mission. It is quite evident that lay participation in their formation reinforces the vocation of our religious. A clear indicator of this is that religious priests formed in this model and now serving in our missions show a clear and strong identity in their vocation as religious. They are forming good community with their confreres on mission, and they work well with the laity. Specific Abilities This model comes with risks and challenges. Although it is based on the experience of pastoral teams functioning in our missions, the formation ministry requires specific abilities to accompany our young men in their development as persons, Christians, and religious. There are few books or guidelines to follow. The formation team has to dedicate itself to dialogue and communication. It must make a deliberate decision to form a community that shares faith, life, and vision. The heart of the work of the formation team is to model a communal spirit that collaborates on many levels. The team has to adapt continually to the new realities of this generation of young men. This is a new model, and in many respects it is prophetic. It is important that team members dialogue with other formators, with council members, and with spiritual directors to ensure the effectiveness and health of the formation. And, of course, the team must be united and convinced of the model even though people criticize it. Many will not understand it, including at ti~nes our own seminarians. Review for Religious All in all, the model is developing positively and serving well the needs of the congregation. It is producing a healthy environment for the seminarians' formation, a healthiness that includes taking some prudent risks.

Mary Joseph Maher IHM November-December 2002 MARY KAY DOBROVOLNY Mary Magdalene: An Icon for Women Religious sisters and brothers About six years ago I fell in love for the first time. The experience opened entire new worlds to me and taught me a great deal about honesty, integrity, inti-macy, and myself in relationship with others. It also brought tremendous conflict and turmoil. I was inex-perienced in matters of the heart, and I had made a public commitment to live vowed religious life, includ-ing celibacy, for at least three years. Being in my sec-ond year of this three-year commitment, I prayed daily for the grace to live my life with faithfulness and integrity as I discerned whether to leave my religious ¯ community or stay as a vowed member. Today I am very happily a perpetually professed Sister of Mercy, having made final vows in July 1998. But I remember clearly those days of my first love and the struggle in the months thereafter to freely choose vowed religious life. Beyond the intense grief for the path not chosen, there was the great void of role mod-els for how to negotiate a love relationship while choosing to remain a vowed member of a religious community. Loud in my consciousness were the myr- Mary Kay Dobrovolny RSM is pursing a doctorate in New Testament studies at Vanderbilt University. Her address is 3335 Acklen Avenue; Nashville, Tennessee 37212. Review for Religious iad stories of women who left in the 1960s and 1970s to marry or pursue a committed relationship with another. Deafening by its silence was the reluctance of current members to speak of their own experiences of falling in love and being in love. As a new member I began to wonder if it was possible to fall in love and choose to remain part of vowed religious life. To help fill the void of role models, this paper will present Mary Magdalene as an icon for celibate loving and apostolic mission, using the resurrection story found in the Gospel of John. This passage speaks of a love and intimacy between Mary Magdalene and Jesus. In addition, as the first to encounter the resurrected Jesus and receive the commission to "go and tell," Mary Magdalene becomes the "apostle to the apostles." This paper will (1) explore who Mary Magdalene is, sorting through the myths in the tradition; (2) examine the portrayal of Mary Magdalene in chapter 20 of John's Gospel; and (3) note some insights suggested by this examination regarding celibate loving and apostolic mission for vowed women religious. Sorting through the Myths of the Tradition When I began working on this paper, a theologically edu-cated friend of mine gave me an article on Luke 7:36-50, a pas-sage the New American Bible calls "The Pardon of the Sinful Woman.''1 I looked at my friend, smiled, thanked her for the article, and then said, "You do know that the woman in this pas-sage is not Mary Magdalene, don't you?" Gasping slightly, she said, "I can never keep those Marys straight." My friend is not alone in this, and she has had much help combining the women of Scripture. In the tradition of the West, the unnamed woman in Luke 7, Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany, and sometimes even the woman who was caught in adultery ~ln 8) have all been interwoven and confused. The confusion can be traced as far back as the 6th century. Pope Gregory the Great (ca. 540-604) merged the identities of these women into one woman in sev-eral homilies. Since that time, veneration of Mary Magdalene in the West has diverged from the Gospels' portrayal of her. While none of the biblical women is called "a prostitute," Mary Magdalene's most frequent portrayal in stories, legends, art, and worship has been as a prostitute and repentant sinner. November-December 2002 Dobrovolny ¯ Mary Magdalene The East has looked at Mary Magdalene as equal to the apostles. The combination of these women's identities was not shared by the Eastern churches, which have treated the women as sep-arate individuals. The East has looked at Mary Magdalene as equal to the apostles. Shortly after the time of Pope Gregory the Great, Modestus, patriarch of Jerusalem, said that Mary Magdalene, the myrrh-bearer, was "chief among the women disciples," a teacher of other holy women, a lifelong virgin, and a martyr.2 While the popular mind continues to think of Mary Magdalene as a repentant prostitute, recent scholarship is replac-ing this image with a view of her as faithful disciple, witness to the resurrection, and apostle to and with the twelve. This is a retrieval in the West of a previously held image, not a new creation. Each of the Gospels portrays Mary Magdalene as a follower of Jesus through his Galilean ministry, a wit-ness and mourner of his crucifixion and death, a witness of the empty tomb, the first to whom the risen Jesus appears, and the first to proclaim his resurrection. Accordingly, Hippolytus (ca. 170-235), bishop of Rome, named her apostola apostolorum, apostle to the apostles. This title, revived by recent scholars, was repeated as late as Thomas Aquinas. Narrative Analysis of John 20 John 20:1-18 is a single narrative unit divided into three scenes. Verses 1-2 depict Mary Magdalene's discovery of the empty tomb, verses 3-10 describe the race between Peter and the beloved disciple to the tomb, and verses 11-18 find Mary Magdalene alone, weeping outside the tomb. She went to the tomb of the crucified Jesus "early. while it was still dark." hnmediately after discovering that the stone had been removed from the tomb, she ran to tell Peter and the beloved disciple that "they have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." This is the first of three times that she announces that the body of Jesus has been removed from the tomb (see also 20:13 and 15). This announcement to Review for Religious Peter and the beloved disciple is the catalyst for the second scene, in which these two characters race to the tomb to dis-cover it empty, albeit for linen wrappings. After these two have returned home (20:10), Mary Magdalene stands weeping beside the tomb. Still weeping, she stoops and looks inside, continuing her search for Jesus' body. Her weeping is mentioned twice in one verse, suggesting both intense frustration and intense grief. She stays in this place of grief and pain rather than return home like the other disciples. She turns toward suffering, pain, and death.3 The setting for Mary Magdalene's search for the body of Jesus is both a graveyard and a garden. Her weeping in the graveyard is reminiscent of the grief of Mary of Bethany upon the death of her brother Lazarus, and the garden On 19:41) brings to mind both the primeval male-female intimacy of Adam and Eve in Genesis and the passionate love in the Song of Songs (4:12-5:1; 6:2-3; 8:13).4 Mary looks into the tomb and sees "two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying" (20:12). Rather than deliver a message of hope, comfort, or resurrection, these angels question her: "Woman, why are you weeping?" This question calls attention to her tears for a third time. Mary reit-erates the cause of her pain: "They have taken my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him" (20:2 and 13). Apparently not awed by the angels, Mary turns from the tomb to see the unrecognized Jesus. A conversation with this "gar-dener" takes place, three exchanges between them. Jesus asks the reason for her weeping--tears mentioned now a fourth and final time. The intensity of Mary's grief and worry and serves to fulfill the prediction Jesus made earlier in the Gospel: "Amen, Amen, I say you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice" (16:20). In this Gospel, Mary Magdalene is the only character who weeps and mourns when she can "no longer see [Jesus]" (16:19).s Soon the rest of Jesus' prediction will be fulfilled: "You will have pain, but your pain will turn into joy" (16:20 and 22). Jesus asks not only the reason for her weeping, but also "Whom are you seeking?" (20:15). She reiterates for the third time her search for the crucified Jesus, asking the "gardener" to help her find him. The focus on Mary's unrelenting search for . November-December 2002 Dobrovolny ¯ Mary Magdalene the crucified Jesus echoes the lover's intense search for her beloved in the Song of Songs: Upon my bed at night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought .him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer. "1 will rise now and go about the city, in the street~ and-ih the squares; I will seek him whom my soul loves." I sought him, but found him not. The sentinels found me, as they went about in the city. "Have you seen him whom my soul loves?" Scarcely had I passed them when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him and would not let him go until I brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. (Sg 3:1-4, NRSV) In this passage and in the narrative about Mary at Jesus' tomb, the women are seeking and failing to find their beloved. The searches occur in a garden (Sg 4:12-5:1; 6:2-3; 8:13; Jn 19:41-42). The women inquire where their beloved might be. And, as we will see shortly, neither woman wants to release her beloved once he has been found. This is stated strongly in the Song of Songs 3:4: "I held him, and.would not let him go until I brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me." The second exchange is marked by recognition. Mary Magdalene has not recognized the resurrected Jesus by sight, but now, his voice sounding her name, she recognizes him. This recognition reminds us of the shepherd who "calls his own by name" and they "follow him because they know his voice" (10:3- 4). Mary exclaims, "Rabbouni!" (meaning Teacher). This title and "Lord," the title she has used before (20:2, 13, and also 15), are titles Jesus has mentioned as fitting ones: "You call me Teacher and Lord--and you speak correctly, for indeed I am" (13:13). Before Mary's "Rabbouni!" the Greek text says of her (using a participle) strapbeisa. This can simply mean baying turned, but it can also mean baying changed inwardly, baying been converted.6 The New Revised Standard Version uses the former meaning of physical motion, saying "she turned." But she has already turned from the tomb toward this "gardener" (20:14); turning physically again does not make narrative sense. It s~iems instead that, hear- Review for Religious ing her name spoken by that beloved voice, she is inwardly changed by that recognition. Most likely the transformation of her weeping and mourning into the joy described in John 16:20 and 22 is at the heart of that change. In the third exchange, Jesus presents Mary Magdalene with two commands: "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father" and "Go to my brothers and sisters and say to them . " In read-ing between the lines, it can be difficult to get the tone of Jesus' commands and their impact on Mary, whose weep-ing has just been transformed into joy. Some commentators try to find a fault in her or her belief, which does not permit her to touch Jesus as Thomas is later invited to do (20:27).7 Others have written about a "decided brutality" in Jesus' rebuke and rejection of her.8 Both of these interpretations miss textual clues. Far from being found at fault, Mary is given, a privileged position within the Gospel of John as the first to see the risen Jesus and the first to be commissioned to proclaim the resurrection. Jesus does not find fault with her--which suggests that the Gospel's author does not intend the reader to do so either. As for the idea of "brutality," Mary does not respond as one who has been rebuked or rej.ected by her beloved Jesus. There is no more weeping. Instead, with jubilation Mary proclaims, "I have seen the Lord!" (20:18). Still, inasmuch as Mary's inclination to hold on to her beloved after seeking him unrelentingly with intense longing is quite understandable (as in Sg 3:4), Jesus' command is per-plexing. It can only be understood in light of his explanation: "for I have not yet ascended to the Father." Later in this same verse, Jesus tells Mary to announce "I am ascending . " The text seems to indicate that Jesus is in a transitional phase in which he is in the process of ascending.9 The appearance of Jesus at this threshold moment between his resurrection from the dead and his ascension to the Father is unique, and it Hearing her name spoken by that beloved voice, she is inwardly changed by that recognition. November-December 2002 Dobrovolny * Mary Magdalene involves only Mary Magdalene. By the time Jesus appears and invites Thomas to touch him (20:27), he has already ascended to the Father and returned, bringing and bestowing the Advocate upon the disciples (20:22). Mary's encounter with Jesus is recognizable as a uniquely privileged one. After telling Mary not to hold on to him, Jesus commis-sions her to "go to my brothers and sisters and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God'" (20:17). There are three noteworthy pieces of this com-mission: (1) the phrase tous adelphous mou, translated above as "my brothers and sisters"; (2) the phrase "to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God"; and (3) the verb tense used in the commission to "go and tell." The phrase "my brothers and sisters" denotes a new rela-tionship between Jesus and his followers and among his fol-lowers. 1° Previously, in his final discourse to the disciples, Jesus has called his disciples friends rather than slaves (15:15), and, while hanging on the cross, he has created a new relationship between his mother and the beloved disciple (19:26-27). Now (20:17) he proclaims that all members of the believing com-munity are his brothers and sisters and, by implication, broth-ers and sisters to each other. This new relationship recalls and fulfills the imagery in the Johannine Prologue: "But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God" (1:12). The fulfillment of the words of the Prologue is made more explicit in what follows: "I am ascending to my Father andyour Father, to my God and your God" (20:17). The rhythm of these words recalls the covenant Ruth made with her mother-in-law Naomi: "Your people shall be my people and your God my God" (Ruth 1:16). Despite the differences in race, Ruth, a Moabite, casts her lot with her Hebrew mother-in-law, mak-ing their futures forever intertwined. In the same way, Jesus proclaims that, despite the differences (see 14:6: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me"), a new covenantal family relationship has been established. This new covenantal family relationship encompasses all of the believing community in the postresurrection community. Mary Magdalene is commissioned to "go to my brothers and Review for Religious sisters and tell them . " The imperative verb poreuou (go) is in the present tense. A present imperative "generally denotes a command to continue to do an action or to do it repeatedly.''11 Thus, Mary Magdalene is commissioned, not for a one-time telling of her revelation of the risen Jesus (such as that recorded to the disciples in 20:18), but to go repeatedly to the commu-nity, continuing to tell the story of her encounter with the risen Jesus.2 The Gospel of John does not narrate any additional con-versation between the risen Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Instead, Mary is presented as going immediately to the disciples to pro-claim: "I have seen the Lord!" Her weeping and mourning have been transformed into joy. Her intense search-ing for her beloved has been transformed into assured confidence of continuing in her rela-tionship with Jesus. Her encounter with the risen Jesus establishes her authority among the disciples. And, through her conveying the mes-sage of the risen Jesus, a new relationship among the community of believers is estab-lished, enabling them to be "brothers and sisters" in the one God and Father of them all. It is on the authority of her witness and the new relationship that she is given to proclaim that the tradition correctly bestows upon her the identity of apostola apostolorum, "apostle to the apostles." Through her conveying the message of the risen Jesus, a new relationship among the community of believers is established, enabling them to be "brothers and sisters" in the one God. Iconic Insights for Celibate Love and Apostolic Mission The command in the Gospel of john is clear: "Love one another" (13:34, 15:12). The Gospel further indicates that it is through our love for one another that we will be recognized as Nove~nber-Decenlber 2002 Dobrovolny ¯ Mary Magdalene disciples of Jesus--that Jesus will be made known in our world. As apostolic women religious, we do love deeply. We are drawn by Love and called by Love. We express our love in prayer, in community, in ministry. Sometimes we eveh fall in love. I used to fear falling in love and being in love. I thought it would jeopardize my identity as a Sister of Mercy. I thought it would place my ability and my commitment to live the vow of celibacy at too great ~ risk. I was wrong. Through experiences of falling in love and being in love, I have been drawn deeper into the mystery of Love. Through my love experiences, I have been taught how to love, and I have been taught what it means to be another person's "beloved." With my own longing for the touch of another, I discovered the depth of my longing for God. Through the words of another person's longing for me, I have heard God's longing for me. These love experiences have drawn me deeper into the mysterious and mystical love of God. I am not saying that as apostolic women religious we need to have one or more experiences of falling in love and being in love to be drawn deeply into the mystical love of God. I am simply saying that it can happen through these love experiences because it has happened. I would venture to guess that many of us have been taught how to love God as God's own beloved through experiences of loving another and being loved. That is part of the mystery of the incarnation, the revelation of God in human form. As one who has dared to love deeply, I resonate with Mary Magdalene, who dared to love Jesus deeply. Through my expe-rience of choosing not to follow my beloved and commit myself to that love relationship, I identify with her intense longing, her intense searching, her utter grief. There is a point in which it seems that tears will never end. In the midst of risking to love deeply as vowed religious, we risk being led to the depths of our pain, our longing, our search-ing. But a wise woman once taught me that, if I am unwilling or unable to feel the depth of my own pain, or longing, or grief, then I am also not able to journey with another person to the depths of her or his pain.~3 Our choices do impact our ministry. By feeling the depths of our pain and our grief, our hearts are opened to feel the pain of others around us and of our world. As apostolic women religious, we are called to feel that pain, to Review for Religious name that pain, to witness to the suffering of those around us. We are called to stand with those who are marginalized, to mourn and weep with them for all that is not right in our world. We are called to name destructive violence for what it is, to name the things that rob individuals, communities, and coun-tries of fullness of life. Tears can seem unending. Mary Magdalene chose to stay at the tomb; she chose to stand in the emptiness, in the void, in the confusion, in the pain. She chose to weep and mourn. She continued her search for her beloved Jesus. She sought him out, persisting in the search even when others did not. Her actions are characterized by initiative, persistence, and determination. Her search betrays an intense longing and yearning. As apostolic women religious, we too are called to stand in the emptiness of a broken world. We are called to search for our beloved God in the midst of this brokenness. We are called to long and yearn for a world that is imbued with the presence and love of God in every cor-ner, in every action between individual persons, and in all diplo-macy and business between countries. We are called to work for such a world with our own efforts, our own initiative, per-sistence, and determination. Mary Magdalene searched for what she knew was possible to find--the body of her crucified Jesus, her beloved. Ultimately, instead of finding what it seemed humanly possible to find, she was found by a divine reality beyond her fondest hope; she was found by the risen Jesus. In turning toward Jesug, in hearing her name called by her beloved, she was transformed. She was able to turn to a new.reality and allow her life and the world she knew to be transformed. As apostolic women religious, we are called to model Mary Magdalene. We are called to seek out and work toward what we know is realistically possible. In our ministerial commit-ments, we are called to set attainable goals and strive to meet them. We are called not to be overwhelmed by the extent of brokenness in our world, not to let ourselves be paralyzed by grief and despair. In our searching and striving, we are called to have an open heart that is ready to be transformed, a heart ready to be found by a divine reality beyond our imagination. The words of the risen Jesus are again perplexing: "Do not hold on to me." After such intense searching and longing, it is Noventber-December 2002 Dobrovolny * Mary Magdalene Like Mary Magdalene, we are commissioned to proclaim the living God here in our midst. completely understandable to want to hold on to whatever sign of life and love, whatever divine revelation, we see in the midst of a broken and pain-filled world. Yet love and the things of this world are not ours to hold on to. With open hands and open hearts, we instead hear Jesus' words: "Go to my brothers and sisters." Like Mary Magdalene, we are commissioned to proclaim the living God here in our midst. Mary Magdalene was in a privileged place with a unique encounter with the risen but not-yet-ascended Jesus. Her encounter cannot be replicated. Yet, as apostolic women reli-gious, we sometimes do not rec-ognize our own privileged place. We belong to religious commu-nities that nurture and support our spiritual journey, that help us integrate contemplation into our lives of ministry. Time and money are provided for ongoing spiritual direction and annual retreats. We are joined by others who are on this same jour-ney; together we have companionship and a common language to name our experiences. Many days I take all of this for granted. But, like Mary Magdalene, we women religious are in a privileged place in our world. In our lives, contemplation opens us to divine revelafons that may be unique to our world-- and maybe our world desperately needs to hear them from us. Through Mary Magdalene's encounter with him, the risen Jesus instituted a new relationship among his followers. He called his followers his "brothers and sisters" and said that his Father is their Father, and his God their God (20:17). We live in a fractured and broken world and a fractured and broken church. Like Mary Magdalene, we are called to give witness to a vision of unity. We are called to be sisters to each other in our communities so that we can be, beyond our communities, sisters to our world. Like Ruth's covenantal relationship with her mother-in-law Naomi, we are called to unity with others, no matter how different from us. This is the vision Mary Magdalene was given by the risen Jesus, and it is offered to us as well. Review for Religious As apostolic women religious, not only are we called to weep and mourn with those at the margins of our society and with the victims of the violence in our world. We are also called to proclaim the power of the resurrection. We are Galled to pro-claim a God who loves us deeply and calls each of us by name. We are called to proclaim a God who transforms lives, filling the empty tombs of our lives with life unimaginable. We are called to proclaim a God who raises the dead to life and offers life eternal. Like Mary Magdalene, the premibre apostola apostolo-rum, "apostle to the apostles," we are called to proclaim an Easter faith to a world that is ravenously hungry for God. May God find us willing. Notes ' The story in Luke 7:36-50 is of an unnamed woman who bathes the feet of Jesus with her tears, kissing them and anointing them with ointment. The setting is the home of a Pharisee who neglected the customary act of hospitality of washing his guest Jesus' feet upon his arrival in his home. 2 Modestus of Jerusalem, PG 86, cols. 3273-3276, as quoted in Susan Haskins, Mary Magdalen, Myth and Metaphor (New York: Harcourt Brace, 1993), p. 107. 3 This is emphasized by Dorothy A.

See Attridge, "Don't Be Touching Me," pp. 3-4. 10 While many translations, including N'JB, NAB, and NRSV, trans-late adelphous simply as "brothers," there is no good reason not to use the inclusive translation "brothers and sisters." There are a substan-tial number of places in both Koine and Attic Greek in which the plural adelphoi refers to both brothers and sisters, not just brothers. See BAGD, pp. 15-16. 11 David Alan Black, Learn to Read New Testament Greek, rev. ed. (Nashville: Broadman and Holman, 1994), p. 168. ,2 This provides further evidence for the appropriateness of the inclusive translation of tous adelphous mou as "my brothers and sis-ters." 13 My thanks to my former CPE supervisor Rosemary Ferguson OP for teaching me this lesson. Child of Mary The presbytery garden, after Mass, is busy with departing worshipers, mostly taking the shortcut to their cars; only Patrick, pauper of the parish and carless, solitary wanderer-about- town, seems unready to be gone. A single point of stillness in our midst, he lingers by the weathered blue and white of o~r Lady, in her privet bower, hands in his pockets and a cigarette - unlit and apparently forgotten - casually tilted between his lips. It's not the first time that I've seen him there, at Mary's shrine under the conker-trees, in that same relaxed, attentive posture, head bent in unobtrusive reverence and his eyes, as now, remotely focused on something only he is privy to. Ian A.T. White Review for Religious PHILIP ARMSTRONG Lonely and Small: Religious Brothers' Situation Z ose with long memories may recall a novelty song the rics of which ran, "I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch . . . all I do is cry all day." The catchy melody and much repetition were probably more responsible for the song's burning itself into the memory than any depth of meaning, but the plaintive cry of a single common flower that finds itself surrounded by a crop of onions tugs at least minimally at our heartstrings. The poor litde petunia, no matter how attractive, cannot help feeling overwhelmed. It grieves in its isolation. Latter-Day Petunias I suggest that religious brothers are experiencing something of the lonely petunia's plight in today's church and world. The brothers' existence, let alone their impact, is nearly impercep-tible. They are much less noticeable than the clergy, who, like onions, are rather conspicuous. Metaphorically speaking, the church cultivates onions assiduously, and in more than one way people keep being reminded of their existence. Few take notice of a few petunias scattered here and there among them, eager to have a beneficial impact on the church. No wonder the brother is sometimes tempted to cry all day about being practically invis-ible and irrelevant. Philip Armstrong CSC last wrote for us in September-October 2001. His address is P.O. Box 460; Notre Dame, Indiana 46556. November-December 2002 Armstrong ¯ Lonely and Small But that would be surrendering to self-pity, and there is really no reason for it. Brothers, however hidden, do in fact accomplish enormous amounts of good through multiple forms of ministry. Brothers by all means must reflect regularly on the relevance of their vocation. Doing so can increase their capac-ity and determination to continue serving God's people in prac-tical and concrete ways. It is not my intent to prove the situation of the brother, for it should be self-evident to anyone closely and objectively observing the working of the church's hierarchical structure thirty-eight years after the Second Vatican Council's dogmatic constitution on the church, Lumen gentium. There, in chapter 2, the council fathers remind the faithful that all the people of God constitute the church, but make it clear in chapter 3 that "the church is hierarchical," with positions of higher and lower authority in it. By implication, then, the concept of horizontal authority, lending itself more to equality than to degree of dis-tinction, is set aside. A wisp of cynicism might drift in here, in language reminiscent of George Orwell's Animal Farm: All God's people are equal, but some are more equal than others. True, at times the roles of these leaders have been circum-scribed by expectations of the faithful. Clerics of whatever rank have always been somewhat limited in their practice of min-istry by various expectations that church members have, some-times by reason of their limited education, sometimes because they make rarely make use of their membership, sometimes for other reasons. The laity were able to se~ this plainly enough. They have been able to see, too, that religious sisters, despite their goodwill, talents, and sacrificial dedication, often had their activities arbitrarily limited. But still, in the case of both clerics and nuns, the laity have long had a clear, consistent image of them in the scheme of things. Not so in the case of religious brothers. In the small world of parochial or diocesan secondary education during the first two-thirds of the 20th century, brothers indeed were visible, for they figured prominently in the plans of bishops and pastors as the logical educators of adolescent boys. Outside that world, however, brothers' visibility ceased. There were almost no brothers in ministry outside their own institutions. So, if you were not the parent of a boy in a brothers' school, you just did Review for Religiotts not know any brothers. If you were such a parent, you probably knew them only in their professional and institutional capacity. Visible or Not Yet conciliar, synodal, and papal statements continue to remind us that the brothers' life is a needed, purposeful, valid, blessed state of life among the people of God. The brothers' life has been an enduring part of the church and has been affirmed and approved repeatedly over the ages, both by the hierarchy and by those benefiting from the brothers' ministries. The vowed life has demanded and permitted adaptations befit-ting the "signs of the times" regarding current needs of church and society. None of these factors, as we look into the stark reality of membership trends today, changes the perilous situ-ation in which vowed commitment finds itself as a way of life in the church. Who could blame today's brothers, lonely little petunias, for crying, if they avoided sobs of self-pity and merely shed a few silent tears of loneliness amid feelings of irrelevance? A Proposal Allow me make a proposal here that is simple, radical, and perhaps revolutionary. Recent research and writing on forward-looking ecclesiology and theology has been done by such authors as Cletus Wessels OP, Sandra Schneiders IHM, Kenan Osborne OFM, Joan Chittister OSB, and Ronald Rolheiser OMI.~ It would be helpful if they supported the concept behind nay proposal. Except for Osborne in a very general way, they do not, so far as I know. Nor are there incontrovertible scriptural or patristic citations I can lean upon. Yet in experience, common sense, and urgent pastoral need, there seems to be adequate foundation for this proposal: I believe religious life, that is, vowed commitment to a life of service to the church and world through the public profes-sion of the evangelical counsels, should be raised to the status of a sacrament in the Roman Catholic Church. I ~nake this proposal for two reasons. First, both matrimony and orders are recognized by the people of God as sacramental moments in which God's providential presence is at work in a special way and as symbols of God's continuing activity among November-December 2002 Armstron~ ¯ Lonel.~ and Small us. These sacraments touch the lives of those receiving the sacra-ments, those who witness their reception, and those who receive the ministrations of parents and priests. Currently, vowed com-mitment is recognized as only a "sacramental" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, §1667), that is, "a sacred sign which bears a resemblance to the sacraments." Sacramentals are meant to dispose individuals to receive the sacraments. Yet religious life, in its purpose and its demands, ranks logically with the sacra-ments of matrimony and orders as equally exacting, equally needed, equally exemplary, and equally rewarding. Second, the raison d'etre of religious life goes far beyond individual commitment and participation in the common life of an approved congregation. Pronouncing the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience demands of the those making this pub-lic commitment the express intention of reaching out in gener-ous, loving service to others and also of being a visible witness to the gospel values that run counter to pleasure, wealth, and power. In short, vowed commitment constitutes a way of life modeled perfectly by Jesus in the gospels. Besides the individ-ual and congregational covenants, there are perceptible public consequences of religious profession from which the whole of society benefits. Who can ignore the symbolic impact and value vowed com-mitment could have as a sacrament? If the church, as we are informed, periodically evaluates the sacramental system with a view to keeping it optimally relevant for the people of God, now is the time to exercise that prerogative once again and bring commitment by the vows of religion to the level of recognition and acceptance it deserves. If the dearth of vocations to lay religious life is to be effec-tively addressed from within the church, if those who have supervisory and teaching authority in the church are to heighten the awareness of the people of God to this form of life and ser-vice in yhe church, then I suggest that no better way exists than to bestow the character of sacrament on vowed commitment in the religious life. What would that entail? Sacraments Then and Now The church gives as its traditional definition of sacrament: Reviev) for Religious "an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace" (Baltimore Catechism). The Catechism of the Catholic Church (§1131) supplies the same definition, slightly elaborated. With all due respect, I suggest this description is neither adequate nor entirely appropriate today. Acknowledging that the present sacramental system was developed over the course of centuries, that only since 1150 have we specified seven, and that the system remains open to review and revision in the light of new insights and the needs of the times (Sacrosanctum concilium, §62), I propose the following definition: "A sacrament is a meaningful symbol first exemplified in the life of Jesus and today incarnated through him in key human moments or events publicly celebrated by the worshiping community as a sign and promise of life in the Spirit and of bonding among the people of God." Here I suggest less emphasis on exegetical proof of a sacra-ment's being "instituted by Christ" and on its "giving grace" ex opere operato. I would rather the focus be put on the gospel rev-elation of Jesus' participation in significant events in the spiri-tual development of individuals and groups and on how those events enrich their personal relationship with God, invite them to ongoing conversion, and give promise of growth arising out of continuously augmented relationships. From this perspec-tive I believe Jesus' conversation at the well with the Samaritan woman and later with her fellow townspeople (Jn 4:1-42) illus-trates a sacramental moment, as does the cure of the demoniac in the country of the Gerasenes (Mk 5:1-20). In both cases sig-nificant individual impact opens the door to community con-version and further orientation toward God. Other examples could be the wedding at Cana (Jn 2:1-11), the multiplication of the loaves and fishes (Lk 12:9-17), Lazarus (Jn 11:1-44), the man born blind (Jn 9:1-41), and Zacchaeus (Lk 19:1-10). According to the current definition, a sacrament stresses the individual's readiness and participation; that is, each sacra-ment's salvific effects relate primarily to the recipient. The ben-efit is bestowed directly on the person(s) being baptized, confirmed, ordained, anointed, forgiven, married, or nourished by Christ's Body and Blood. On the other hand, in the light of recent research leading to a more profound understanding of the human person, the focus seems to be moving toward a com-munity- centered interpretation. November-December 2002 Armstrong ¯ Lonely and Small Such a sacramental system is perceived as productive of new, restored, or improved relationships and a wider, more knowl-edgeable and conscious participation in the administration of each sacrament; it presumes that a communal enrichment is more desirable than a benefit chiefly or only for an individual. The emphasis switches from ex opere operato (individual benefit from grace already won by Christ) to ex opere operantis (individual and community intention to receive and benefit from grace con-stantly available through Christ). The latter effect is "from the recipient's own activity" (ex opere operantis) and can be under-stood as applying not only to an individual recipient but also to the witnessing, supportive community of worshipers. The indi-vidual's participation in the reception of a sacrament draws in, involves, and impacts the entire worshiping community. Playing It Out So considered, baptism can more readily be seen as the com-munity's welcoming another member into God's family, a fam-ily that seeks to extend God's reign on earth. Confirmation marks a communal response of support for the individual's maturing affirmation of fundamental faith. The Eucharist-- both as celebration and as nourishment--is the perfect bond uniting God's people. Holy orders and matrimony are the com-munity's affirmation of and blessing on individuals' vocational and lifestyle choices in their seeking of God. The community's example helps the individuals to do the same. Reconciliation is clearly community-oriented because the individuals' failings impact the entire assembly, and so the community's forgiveness, encouragement, and support are essential in the individuals' battle with human weakness and willfulness. The anointing of the sick is the worshiping community's laying on of hands, even if figuratively, to show oneness with, care of, and support for an ailing member; it is a reminder of how interdependent we are as the people of God. Why Not? It is from this view of the sacramental system that I pro-pose raising religious life to the level of formal sacrament, I see Review for Religious no more effective way to reestablish the ecclesial significance of vowed commitment. I will not elaborate here on the appro-priateness of including other forms of commitment to the ser-vice of the people of God (for example, appointments or elections to church office, including the permanent diaconate and most other offices, even temporary ones, oriented toward the pastoral care of the community). Vghat more fitting way to welcome a pastor into the midst of the flock than by a commu-nal sacramental celebration of the significance and symbolism of that pastoral office? These and even more possibilities would, I believe, inaugurate anaong the people of God a better under-standing of how communal (in and through the church) the relationship between an individual and God is. In the process, knowledge of and respect for the religious life would be aug-mented, along with encouragement to join its ranks. Juridic Implications Were vowed commitment to become a sacrament, would that not, as some suggest, expose this way of life, even in exempt congregations (those approved by and directly responsible to the Holy Father and exempt from overall juridic control by the local ordinary), to greater control by local ordinaries? I believe the answer contains two components. First, the church already has the authority to interpret the evangelical counsels, to regulate them in practice, and to establish lifeforms that implement them (LG §43). The church's authority over religious life is acknowledged further, for example, in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (§§919, 927,944) and in the Vatican II document Ad genres (§~18, 40). Thus, the question is not whether the church would assume an authority it did not have before, but whether local ordinaries would get some juris-diction over exempt communities that they did not have before. As the above citations indicate, even exempt religious commu-nities must work with and by the authority of the local ordi-nary, in accord with his overall pastoral plan. With the revised understanding of "sacrament" proposed above, I contend that there would be no more control than before. Second, emphasis would be placed, not on consecrated life as sign, but on vowed commitment as promise; that is, not on November-December 2002 Armstron~ " Lonel~ and Small the already but on the notyet. It is the latter that witnesses to the religious life's prophetic mission. A supervisory role, even though indirect and informal, would then seem to fall to the worship-ing community at large. Vowed religious would be accountable to the whole body for living up to the promises they made and thereby helping the entir

Taft for completion of his Master's Thesis at Utah State University during the summer of 1969. The forty-five interviews address the Great Depression through the eyes of individuals in several different occupations including: Bankers, Laborers, Railroad Workers, Attorneys, Farmers, Educators, Businessmen, Community and Church Leaders, Housewives, Children and Physicians. All of these individuals lived in Weber County from 1929 to 1941. The interviews were based on what they remembered about the depression, how they felt about those events and how it affected their life then and now. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record.

Dr. Rich discusses the difficulties of practicing medicine during the Depression: collecting fees, changes in obstetric procedure, and taking script as payment. He also discusses the closing of the Ogden State Bank. The interviewer is Mack Taft. MT: What was your profession during the Depression years? JR: I was an M.D., a doctor. MT: What do you remember about your profession at that time, the difficult times that you had, if there were some? JR: Well, it was a trying time for the doctors. They all had certain costs of operation, and the income of the doctors dropped off so radically. I know in my own experience that I was probably collecting maybe 90 percent of the fees outstanding, while during the Depression years, it dropped off to where I was probably only collecting 10 percent. In fact, some months I had difficulty paying my nurse, and paying my overhead, rent, incidentals, and medical supplies, and so on. People were just unable to pay for the service that was rendered. Of course we were working harder than ever because it seemed like there was more work at that time, and a person couldn't do anything other than render the service and put the charge on the books, and hope that sometime the person might be able to pay. But the question was getting enough income to take care of fixed commitments and expenditures that one had to meet, and some months, it was actually operating in the red. You were digging into what little reserve you had to meet the expenses to keep going. 2 In fact, at that time, there was an organization, I've forgotten the name now, that amongst the professional men and some of the merchants, that set up a script type of money. The farmers would bring in the produce - they had a large department area down, I think it was in the Berthana building on the ground floor - four bare walls and so on, and just merchandise piled around the walls of the building, and so on. And one would take the script in there and receive vegetables or fruits and produce of different types. That would kind of give you an idea of the way the economy was going. People would bring vegetables and fruits into that place, and then they would get script and come up and pay the doctor with the script - or the dentist, or the other individuals - and he, in turn, would go down to that building and pick up a few vegetables, and so on. That seems a rather primitive way of doing business, but still during the Depression, that was what was going on - that was in the years about 1930, 1931, and 1932 through there. And then there were certain outfits that set up on gas stations that were pretty much the same way. They would give you, for a little fee to set up membership, they would sell you gas for cost. Even some of the professional men were having their nurses deliver statements within a near radius rather than put out money to pay the postage, and so on because even the postage amount that was expended became prohibitive considering the income that was coming in. Many of the things that we resorted to were with just the idea of keeping going because at that time rents were a kind of a fixed expenditure, and other things, they didn't vary much, and it was a problem. A lot of charitable work was 3 being done, a lot of home work being done, and more operating work in the offices that could be done because the people just didn't have the means of paying the hospital. I imagine the hospitals also were creating a good deal of credit, and putting amounts on the books that previously were paid for by cash. So everything was in a precarious position. Of course a lot of the professional men at the time, due to the boom years of 1928-29 with the stock market going up and so on, many professional men had opened trading accounts, and not only professional men, but others were operating on a margin account, which at that time, were about 10 percent. A person had to put up about 10 percent money for the total cost of the purchase, and carry the account of margin. Then when the stock market, of course, began to drop, why every few points the broker would call for more money to maintain the 10 percent spread. And as a result it finally got to the point where the person couldn't put up the money, and they had to let the stock go, and they'd lose everything that they had in it. Of course a corrective thing came along later whereby they had to put up a 50 percent or even 100 percent margin, and then, of course, naturally they were protected against their own vice, so to speak. But when you think of, for instance, as a personal experience, I watched a stock like, say, Anaconda Copper. Professional men, many of them would buy into the exchange market rather than buy land and so on because it's an easy way of doing it. It doesn't require a good deal of outside management and distraction from their practice and so on. And I had been interested in Anaconda Copper, just as an instance, and I'd watched it go from $176 to the neighborhood 4 of $56. And so, after it got down there, I started buying some Anaconda Copper stock, thinking that it couldn't get. it's a giveaway, and so on. And I went ahead and bought it, and it kept dropping and dropping and finally it got down to a point where I thought that I ought to even up my purchase, it was so much lower. It got down around in the $20s and finally I wound up buying my last purchase at $4 a share. And it went down to $3 a share after that. Now that just gives you an idea of the values. Now, for instance, Electric Bond and Share went down from $556 to 75 cents a share, and when you think of value, you can see how people were broke. People who owed money for stocks were just hopelessly wiped out. But the person that owned the stocks outright, of course, and could hold them throughout that whole thing, were not particularly hurt because it turned out to be a paper loss. But the one great lesson of the Depression years in borrowing was the fact that if you owned it outright, you couldn't be hurt, but if you owned it on margin, and owed the banks for it, then, of course, that is where you could be wiped out and be hurt because you had a two-way spread. For instance, if a person had a loan at the bank and had gone ahead and borrowed money to buy some commodity or some stock or property or so on, and he put up, say, what he thought at the time was just absolutely gold, maybe triple A bonds, and then one would never figure that the bonds would never, maybe at the worst, go below 90, why some of these bonds that were put up as collateral went down maybe as low as $25 on the hundred. It was the matter of the two-way spread. Not only was the value of the thing you bought going down, 5 but the value of the collateral that you put up was going down, so that you had a two-way spread, and it was more difficult all the time to raise money. And, of course the banks were, at that time during the heyday of '29, were encouraging people to take loans. Why, when things got tough, then they began to tighten down, and sure, when the loan was made, oh, no, this was fine, they required you to put up a little collateral. During the Depression years, as it got tougher, the banks got tougher, and of course they called for more and more collateral, until finally a fellow only had the gold left in his teeth to put up. And all he could do was say, "Well, there it is," and the banks, of course, went ahead and threw the collateral on the market, and it just forced prices down, down, down. And that was the panic of all this, that caused it. But it was very difficult on the profession. I know two or three doctors that had stock in ranches and things like that, and they finally wound up having to let all their stock go because assessments were made on the stock and the assessments couldn't be paid, so they just had to kiss the whole thing goodbye. One doctor here in Ogden had a very large investment in some Nevada ranches and so on, and, in 1928, he could have sold those out for about $300,000, as I remember it. He wound up letting it all go because he couldn't pay a $2 assessment on the stock. He lost the whole thing. So that many doctors were hurt, and some doctors in the profession were having such a tough time of it that the society had to kind of come to their aid with the doctors that were getting along fairly good putting up a little fund each month to kind of carry them over and keep them in business and let them keep their self-respect .I mentioned 6 about the script, and that helped some, but you took short-cuts that you'd never dream of before to conserve your capital and your outlay. MT: Do you remember any specific little innovations that you used to speed up your collection or to increase your business, other than script? JR: At that time it was so difficult to know the exact economic status of the individual that you were treating in the profession, that rather than to send out letters and things of that nature requesting help in meeting our financial obligations, we hired an individual, who was tickled to death to get the work because there were so many out of work, to personally visit the people who were not making any payment whatsoever to ascertain their circumstances and whether or not they could make some small payment in the way of money, or even in the way of goods, or something that could be used. That worked out very satisfactorily for us. I don't know, I say us, because at that time I was associated with my father, Dr. Edward I. Rich, in a partnership, and that helped because we got an exact, intimate knowledge of the family's condition. If they couldn't [pay], well, they couldn't, and you went along rendering the same aid, like I say, with the hope that eventually they might get to the point where they might be able to make some payment on the account. MT: When did you start your practice? JR: In January of 1926. And I practiced up until 1965, January 1965. At the end of 40 years, the last 30 years of my practice were devoted to general surgical work, and so on. I left in June of 1942, and spent three and one-half years in the service during the war. Other than those years, and being away occasionally for 7 short times, or for graduate work and conventions, I practiced in Ogden for the full time. MT: Who were some of the new doctors that came in right during the Depression years - do you recall? JR: Well, there was Dr. Wilbur Wilson, and Dr. C. J. Olsen, and let's see, those were two, and Dr. Wes Anderson started up about 1931 or '32. He was interning up at the hospital at that time. And also Dr. Olsen and Dr. Wilson were both interns about 1929, 1930 or thereabouts - that would be in Ogden. Dr. Reed Rich over at Montpelier, Idaho, was interning about that time. MT: Now, are there any other doctors at that time that are still around that were established prior to the crash of the stock market? JR: These are the only ones that I can think of. When I first came here and started practicing in 1926, I think that all of the doctors have either died or retired that were practicing then. But there are two or three of them that are alive that are retired. One is Dr. Vern Ward, and he is an obstetrician, you know, but he lives up here. And there is Dr. George Phizter, and he lives up on 29th Street. He was in neurology at that time. Dr. Olsen wasn't a doctor then, but he was in Salt Lake as a laboratory man and he graduated later. Even though I'm younger, I had been in practice at least two or three years when he was an intern. Dr. Frank Bartlett is out at the chronic disease hospital in Roy, but he may be able to give you quite a little help. He may be alert enough. MT: Now, let's go back into this area we explored before on the bank closing. 8 JR: Of course the closing of the Ogden State Bank had a distinctive shocking effect upon our local community here. It was really the first thing, I think, that brought home the seriousness of the Depression. At the time there was a good deal of information in the papers about the situation through the East and the many banks that were closing. And the thing began to snowball, and people became so apprehensive that this run started on the Ogden State Bank. People just all of a sudden decided that they ought to get their money and put it in a sack instead of leaving it in the bank. And when the run started on the Ogden State Bank, it was probably one of the older and more stable banks. It had done a lot of service for the community. It had probably been a little more liberal than many of the other banks in granting loans to ranchers and stockmen and that long-range loan plan where the loan can be readily liquidated. As a result of having a disproportionate amount of their loanable funds out in this type of loan, why with this demand for cash, they found it difficult to convert these loans into cash adequate to meet the demands of the depositors. It seemed like kind of a groundswell of fear that came up, and as the run started, why they couldn't get any funds. They appealed to the First Security Bank, which was a federal bank and having difficulty of its own. In fact, just after the closing of the Ogden State Bank, it had a run. The fact that the First Security Bank was able to tell them, "Line up for your money, and we'll pay all of you," it kind of quelled it down. There was a big meeting in the lobby of the bank, at which the president of the bank reassured them and said that the money was there, and all they had to 9 do was line up and get it. That kind of put the quietness on the run, and established some form of sense in the public. But the Ogden State Bank went ahead and tried to meet their demands, and ran out of cash and couldn't raise any more. And, as a result, they closed up and went into a forced liquidation of their assets. In spite of that, they paid off practically 100 percent. I know that I was a depositor in the bank, and, as I recall, I received all my money, which was in a checking account, at the end of about a year and a half of liquidation. But they sold out assets at probably 10 or 15 percent of their real value under a forced liquidation program, and it was too bad because the bank need never have closed. They had assets of two to three to one, but they just couldn't convert them. But the thing was, it was not just the banks that were having the problem in assets and in getting liquid. The same thing pertained to individuals. I know that at the time prior to the 1929 crash, when everything was favorable, and everyone was skyrocketing prices and outbidding each other for anything, especially in the way of securities, that a person didn't hesitate at all to go into debt to buy securities because they were sold on the idea that they were 100 percent gilt-edged. So, many people were encouraged, and now I feel that the bankers were somewhat at fault for this because they encouraged people. They had plenty of money, and they encouraged people to come in and take loans on collateral that probably wasn't nearly adequate after things got worse. And people would go ahead and buy a stock, and then, of course, after the crash came, they only owned 10 percent of it because that's all the money that they 10 had to put up under the margin requirements. Every time the stocks would drop 10 points, the stock market would call them and they wanted more collateral, they wanted more money. And the person would keep putting up the money until finally they had exhausted all their means of raising any money. And loan companies, people that had money in the building and loan companies, were drawing it out until the building and loan companies were broke. The thing was that a person would go ahead to a bank and want to borrow some money, and they would put up a normal amount of collateral, and the collateral probably was even some gilt-edged bonds that people wouldn't ever expect to go down. But the bonds that ordinarily shouldn't ever go below 90 went down to 26 percent, and the stocks that were selling up in the 100s went down to practically zero. But when you see a stock like General Motors go down to about 7 percent a share, which - considering the splits and everything of stocks - you can imagine how cheap these stocks got. But it was a trying time. Now, some doctors in our community lost a lot of money. The friend that lost the money on the ranches in Nevada finally had his stock assessed. And, as I remember, it was only about a $2 assessment per share. As I remember, he couldn't even raise the money to pay the $2 assessment per share and had to let all his stock go, so that he not only lost his stock, but he also still owed the banks for some of the money that he had borrowed to buy the stock. So he was really paying for a dead horse afterward. That was the sad part about some of these things. You not only lost, but you still owed. But that was the problem at that time. 11 And I think one of the greatest lessons to be learned from the individuals that experienced this thing, who happened to be at that age in life where he was buying things and in an attempt to look out for the future, and his retirement and this sort of thing, is that they didn't owe. The one thing that I learned was never to buy anything on borrowed money. In fact I've always said since that the only justification for anyone to borrow money was if they were properly putting it in their own business to tide them through a time when they had full control of it. But to borrow money to put in somebody else's business is just sure death. MT: Do you feel that you would have developed that much conservatism if you hadn't lived through the Depression? Or do you feel that's a contributing factor of the Depression in your life? JR: Well, I think that lesson comes because of having experienced the Depression, and that it probably had a very good effect even nationally, that people became more conservative. From the standpoint of venturing into the unknown, and to go through this experience, I think that it has paid off, personally, many times over, because it has changed my whole thinking about investments, about what is worthwhile, what isn't worthwhile, and the true values in life and in our economic life. In fact, I had an experience prior to this Depression during my school years, during my junior and senior years in medical school in Pennsylvania. I went to Europe for four months and it was at the time that the German nation was going through the wringer. I remember going into Germany when the mark was 18,000 to the dollar. I spent six weeks in Germany during this time overseas, and when I came out, it was 65 million to the dollar. Of course it didn't cost me anything to 12 live there because I had outside dollars. I changed one dollar a day and then wished that I could only change 50 cents because it was only costing me 10 or 15 cents to live a day. But for the person that had to make their money there, they contracted a salary and at the end of two weeks, the salary wouldn't have been enough to buy a good meal. So that was a very early experience in this business of what inflation and depression and other things can do to an economy. This was in 1923 when Hitler made his first push. In fact, in Munich one night they had these big meetings and so on. He failed in that, and that was when the money and the economy were going to pot. And of course our Depression was just the aftermath of all these things overseas and so on. In fact I've always said that Hoover was just such an unfortunate man to have gone into the Depression when he did, when this was the backwash of the whole worldwide affair, for which he got blamed. He was probably our most able, intelligent and best educated man that we've ever had in the presidency. In fact, I knew Herbert Hoover. I'd taken care of his son, along with another San Francisco doctor when I was at Stanford in San Francisco. I had occasion to meet him and know him and develop a good deal of respect and admiration for him that made me feel kind of doubly bad that he got behind the eight-ball on this kind of thing as a result of just a set of circumstances that would have probably killed anyone. MT: Before we started the recording, you said that you felt that perhaps President Roosevelt was responsible for part of this. Would you explore that just a bit? 13 JR: Well, I've always felt that the bank closing was really unnecessary, that the election in November and the time of the election, and this time that Roosevelt was elected into office was the critical time of the whole Depression. That was when the banks were closing and that is when everything was going to pot fast. Hoover asked, after he was defeated in the election, he called upon Roosevelt to come in and jointly work with him on this. And Roosevelt sat back there and wouldn't help in any way, and wouldn't consent to anything even though Hoover said, and I recall reading it in the paper publicly, that any credit would go to Roosevelt. All he wanted was to stop this sort of thing. But Roosevelt wouldn't even give a recommendation or even meet with President Hoover. He wouldn't even accept an invitation to meet with him until after he went into office. And when he was officially in office, then of course he took his first steps to start correction of this thing, which should have been done several months before. I mean that's the way I remember the thing, and the way things were going, because I remember the bank business in a state of panic and fear that was building up and up and up. And it could have been stopped if the two of them had gotten together and taken some of these steps. MT: What else do you remember about the time, the economy, and what people did to exist? JR: Well, everybody of course economized, and during the early days of the Depression, it made such an impact on people's minds that even after things got going along fairly well, there was this extreme reversal instead of a tendency to spending, as prior to the Depression - which partly accounted for the big boom 14 and everything. People reacted and there was a tendency not to normally spend, but also since many people had that debt still hanging over their heads from things they lost, rather than go into bankruptcy that many of them were working to pay off. As a result, a lot of the money that people were finally making when they had jobs and were doing very well, was going toward repaying things that had been carried on credit during those lean years. As a result the economy was rather slow coming back, even though the government was pumping money into all of these public works and so on. But it always reminded me of how a group can be panicked, or like a stampede of cattle. But after the big flare is over and solved, then you begin to repair the damage that never would need to have been in the first place. As a result it was we had a few good years, and along about 1934 and '35, things began to go pretty good. And then we had a Depression, which in many ways was probably even more severe than the Depression of the early 30s. That was in 1937 that things got bad, but because of the fact that the people had been conditioned to this sort of thing, they didn't panic, they didn't stampede, and as a result some phase of the economy didn't realize that we were in that severe depression in 1937. But actually we never recovered from the Depression until World War II came along, and then the spending on armaments and the preparation for war and furnishing other countries and so on [turned] the wheels of industry to such an extent that we finally pulled out of it. And of course that was in spite of all the pump-priming and all the money that was laid out through the years of the early Roosevelt administration. We still had not recovered from 15 the Depression. We were being carried artificially, and so on, and it was only when World War II came along. It's a sad commentary that the expenditures of the war were necessary to take us out of the deflation. Yet, still, that has held true in other cases as well, since World War II. But I think that it was a long, drawn-out affair in recovery because of a re-adjustment of people. People had lost their homes and their ranches and so on because of being in debt. They went and moved to other parts of the country, took up probably other businesses, and went into other vocations or professions and what not. As a result, it was a great period in the country of readjustment. Maybe as a result of all of it, it was for the better, like going through the fire and coming out a bit purified, at least in our thinking. But it was an experience. After the first mad rush of panic, then the expression became not so much one of fear and panic as it was one of slow, tough rebuilding process. MT: Which section of people were more severely affected by the Depression - those who lived in the country, those who lived in the city? JR: Well, that would be difficult to say. I feel that the group that was probably least affected were those that were probably rural and kind of living on the land, that their pattern of living was not affected as much as the person who was depending upon a salary check. The ability to buy things became unavailable, even though they might have been fortunate enough to continue on in a job. Of course from the standpoint of the professional man, and maybe the people who were living on the farm or the ranch, while they maintained more of their own standard of living and were less affected unless their ranch or farm was taken 16 away from them as a result of being in debt - and many people were in debt for numerous things that they didn't really need. They had gone into debt because they were booming time, and then the debt time came along. But generally speaking, I'd say the person living in the city was strapped more because the basic elements of living were more difficult for them to get than the person who was on the ranch or the farm. In fact some of them on the ranches and the farms got along very well, and were very little affected by the Depression if they had escaped this debt, this death trap. A lot of people economized. There was very little traveling, very little, if any, unnecessary expenditure. In fact, people that previously liked to take a trip to the coast and so on, if they took a trip at all - I know people in this town that ordinarily would take a bedroom suite, this that and the other - would ride a chair car. Just to give you an example of people that still had means, but this idea that they didn't, that this forced retrenchment of expenditures would cause them to go ahead and ride a chair car down there because it was less expensive. This feeling of retrenchment was so profound and as a result all that did was aggravate the overall spiral. It was this sort of fear and panic that got us into the trouble. It wasn't that we didn't have everything that we had before; it was just that there was no circulation of profit. Everything was entrenched. There wasn't money available. Nobody was making it available. It went down in the sack, what they had. MT: What would have been some of the problems of a new doctor just coming into practice at the time? 17 JR: Well, his problem of course was not - you didn't have very many doctors in the community. The society, which now has probably a couple of hundred, we only had about 24 or 30 members. But a doctor coming in had a difficult time because he couldn't collect enough cash to really pay his expenses. He'd be fairly busy, but he was putting everything on his books, and probably 95 percent or better credit. How much of that he could collect at a later date was purely problematic, so that made it a very trying time. I know that doctors at that period - might not be just at that period - but it was more of a general pattern that you always took calls. I remember through those years, and it always carried over even until I retired, I always answered a home call, especially as a younger man. If an older doctor called me about a night call that he was unable to take, and so on, I was always tickled to death to take it for someone. And of course these younger men did a lot of night calls that way, which made it possible for them to exist. They were glad to get them, and at that time too. The pattern has changed for young men coming now. In the hospitals at that time, for interns and that type of thing, they weren't paying anything except just room and board. That was all that a young doctor ever expected in the way of remuneration during his hospital years, where now the hospitals pay very fancy salaries for interns and residents, which makes it possible. Of course, another thing was that the younger doctors at that time were either single or had just married. The practice now is that doctors marry at the beginning of their medical education because it's rather prolonged. Of course it was prolonged 18 then, but this pattern has changed. As a result, a doctor starting out now starts up with a family, with probably several children, where at that time, he was a single doctor or a newly-married doctor. It was possible for them to get along a little bit easier because the demand financially was not as great. MT: What would a young doctor receive for a house call at that time? JR: Well, $4 was the going charge, $2 for an office visit, and $4 for a home visit. Of course that included any medicines and so on that you left with the patient, and any it was necessary to administer at the time. Night calls usually went up to $5 and $6 and so on. At that time, a woman could go to the hospital. In fact while I was a county physician back in the late 1920s and early 1930s, I made arrangements with the hospital, and this is when we first started taking maternity cases into the hospital. I made an arrangement with the hospital for a woman to go in and, for $30, that covered her entire hospital arrangement. Not only the delivery room changes and the drugs that were necessary, but the anesthetic, her bed and room for the 10 day period, which was the amount of time we used to keep a maternity case, and also took care of the baby and the operation of the circumcision, if that was indicated. The cost of that was sort of an overall, catch-all price that covered that. And of course at that time, the doctor charge was $30 for the care of the maternity case, and that included the prenatal visits throughout the nine months of pregnancy, the delivery, the care at the hospital, the care of the baby including circumcision, and so on, and six weeks care afterwards for both the mother and the baby. 19 The services, I guess two or three days in the hospital for the mother, which is about as long as a maternity case is kept in now, would probably run right in the neighborhood of $200-$300, besides the fact that any drugs are charged for separately and the operation upon the baby, such as circumcision, is a separate charge. The anesthesiologist has a separate charge, and the doctor in many communities - I know especially out along the coast - that the delivery charge is entirely separate from the prenatal charge and the postnatal charge. And the doctor who is in obstetrics and delivers the baby has nothing to do with the baby. When he delivers the baby, it's turned over to a pediatrician who looks after it, and his charges are separate. So the total charge of having a baby is very, very considerable over the way it used to be. Now I charged years ago, of course during the Depression years and before the Depression - the Depression didn't alter our charges, the only thing that the Depression altered was the fact that we didn't collect what we charged - but most deliveries at that time were done in the home, and the charge was no different whether they went to the hospital or had them in the home. You furnished all the materials that they paid for at the hospital, but that was just part of the overall charge. MT: How many did you deliver at home, do you recall? JR: Well, as I say, I did some maternity work as part of my general practice up until about 1939. Then I started doing just general surgery, and as a result of being in the service during World War II doing nothing but surgery, I was chief of surgical services when I came back. But I used to do a lot of maternity work during the '20s and '30s, and my father, who I was associated with, he did a lot of 20 obstetrical work during his time. In fact he delivered over 5,000 babies during his career. In fact, he practiced about 54 years, and then he just died about two years ago. He was just a few weeks short of 101. But he was one of the early pioneer physicians in this area, so it was quite interesting to be associated with him because I carried on doing a lot of work. For instance I used to do a lot of tonsil work in the office which a lot of doctors didn't do, just because Father got me in the habit of doing it and I continued on even after it was kind of the acceptable procedure to do them in the hospital. Of course a lot of these things are done there because the public has demanded it, not because it's better, but because they go for certain things in the medical profession. And that is one reason for the higher prices is that a doctor doesn't dare do some of things even though it's better and safer for them because if anything happened to them, why the public is suit conscious. As a result, the public has made it so that they aren't getting the same care because a doctor won't venture for them, even where they haven't any chance the other way. The doctor isn't going to do it.

Barack Hussein Obama aparece cada vez con más claridad –aunque aún la última palabra no está dicha- como el próximo presidente de los Estados Unidos. Simultáneamente, la aún indefinida situación económica global –no hay ninguna duda de la magnitud histórica de la crisis del sector financiero, pero hay opiniones diversas respecto del nivel y carácter de su impacto futuro en el resto de la economía - ha inaugurado una serie de declaraciones fuertemente críticas acerca de la situación y el rol pasado, presente y futuro de los Estados Unidos en el mundo. Leyendo las informaciones y noticias que llegan desde Uruguay y desde otras zonas de América Latina –por ejemplo, algunas declaraciones particularmente fuertes de los presidentes de Brasil y Argentina en las últimas semanas- da la impresión que la crisis financiera ha servido de catalizador del fuerte antinorteamericanismo que ha caracterizado especialmente los últimos cinco años, a partir de la invasión a Irak en 2003. ¿Cuál sería el impacto de una eventual elección de Obama en ese discurso anti-norteamericano? Este impacto está ligado a dos grandes factores: la política exterior que el nuevo presidente siga, y el grado de predisposición de los críticos de Estados Unidos en el mundo a considerar los posibles cambios y sucesos internos en ese país como relevantes o no para formar su opinión sobre los Estados Unidos. En efecto, para nuestro razonamiento, se podría dividir, grosso modo, la actitud anti-norteamericana, en dos grandes posturas. Una es una postura que podemos llamar filosóficamente anti-norteamericana, y que, debido a que tiene tales diferencias de fondo con el capitalismo, la democracia liberal, y la política exterior de Estados Unidos, que califica en todos los casos de imperialista, resulta –en lo que toca a Estados Unidos- inmune a cualquier cambio interno del sistema, pues es el sistema mismo lo que se rechaza. Para esa forma de mirar, probablemente sería más cómodo que ganase McCain, pues un triunfo de McCain desestabilizaría menos el presente rechazo a Estados Unidos en el mundo, rechazo que incluye, entre otras, la noción de que se trata de una sociedad racista que, por definición, jamás podría elegir a un afroamericano como presidente (tal convicción, y la perplejidad ante los hechos presentes, la ha manifestado Fidel Castro en una declaración muy reciente). La otra gran zona de la actitud anti-norteamericana incluye la posibilidad de debatir rasgos y acentos internos de liberalismo y capitalismo, e incluso considerar diferentes formas y valores de la presencia norteamericana fuera de fronteras. Esta es una zona de la opinión que se ha visto fuertemente impactada, negativamente, por las acciones de la administración Bush, especialmente su intervención en Irak. La administración Bush y la política llevada adelante por el sector que ha controlado el partido Republicano en la última década ha funcionado como confirmación de que los Estados Unidos dieron la espalda a ciertos intereses ampliamente compartidos en el resto del mundo (globalización con respeto a la diversidad, no violencia, lucha por el mejoramiento del medio ambiente). El consiguiente rechazo a la presencia y rol norteamericanos –que ha crecido de modo exponencial en el último lustro-, puede experimentar cambios que lo maticen y lo disminuyan si, como cree la mayoría de los observadores políticos, Obama gana la elección el 4 de noviembre. Un factor decisivo en la formación de opinión de este segundo grupo será la política exterior de la nueva administración. ¿Cuál es, entonces, el posicionamiento de Obama respecto de la tradición de la política exterior americana? Pese a lo que la campaña republicana ha dicho, Obama no es un radical de izquierda, ni siquiera dentro del espectro del partido Demócrata. Se puede definir como un demócrata de centro, con una tendencia aproximadamente equilibrada respecto de las dos tradiciones principales de política exterior en su partido, en especial respecto de la guerra. Para explicar esto, hay que descartar primero toda idea de que el partido Demócrata sea una fuerza fundamentalmente contraria a las guerras. Para mostrarlo, basta recordar que el partido Demócrata estuvo en el poder en el inicio de todas las guerras importantes que los Estados Unidos pelearon durante el siglo XX: Woodrow Wilson tuvo que tomar la decisión de intervenir en la Primera Guerra mundial, Franklin Delano Roosevelt luego de Pearl Harbor en la Segunda, y Harry Truman inició la Guerra Fría con su decisión de arrojar las dos bombas atómicas en Hiroshima y Nagasaki en agosto de 1945, y estuvo involucrado en el lanzamiento de la guerra de Corea. También fue durante la administración de otro demócrata, John F. Kennedy, que se inició la guerra de Vietnam. De modo que no hay nada particularmente anti-belicista en la historia del partido Demócrata. Sí es cierto que se formó, frente al desarrollo de la guerra de Vietnam, una facción fuertemente anti-guerra dentro de ese partido, que elaboró en la década de los '60 su propia teoría doméstica del carácter imperialista de los Estados Unidos. Esa es la facción que alimentó el fuerte pacifismo de los años 60 que terminó con el retiro en derrota de los Estados Unidos de Vietnam. Esta facción radical del partido Demócrata (representada sobre todo por McGovern en los tempranos años '70) es la que debe contarse como representante de una postura no intervencionista, y como fuente de una crítica a muchas de las políticas contemporáneas del país, especialmente en lo que tiene relación con las dictaduras latinoamericanas de los años 70 –Jimmy Carter accedió al poder en parte apoyándose en el discurso creado por esta facción, y tuvo en su agenda el desmantelamiento de la CIA que había operado en los sesentas y primeros setentas, y lideró el cambio de rumbo de los Estados Unidos respecto a este tema en la última parte de aquella década. Pero Obama no representa simplemente a ese sector, aunque tenga algunos lazos con él. En la presente campaña se ha pronunciado muy claramente por una continuación de la intervención militar norteamericana en Medio Oriente. Por cierto, Obama se ha opuesto a la intervención en Irak, y fue uno de los parlamentarios que no apoyó con su voto la intervención desde el primer momento –a diferencia de su candidato a la vicepresidencia Joe Biden, quien sí lo hizo. Obama no apoya Irak, no porque considere que toda guerra es un crimen, sino porque considera que la guerra de Irak es la guerra equivocada. Pero, en cambio, ha repetido que debe incrementarse la presencia y la fuerza militar en Afganistán –en donde las cosas no están marchando bien para los relativamente escasos contingentes que permanecen en el territorio—, y también ha marcado la necesidad de "alinear" a Pakistán para que colabore más con los Estados Unidos en la guerra contra Al-Qaeda en las montañas del noroeste del país. Un segundo factor –descontado un anti-militarismo y anti-intervencionismo simple y llano de Obama, que no corresponde a la realidad— será la relación de Estados Unidos con sus aliados, especialmente europeos –priorizar las relaciones con Europa ha sido tradición del Partido Demócrata. Es aquí en donde más se ha marcado la potencialidad de Obama de devolver a Estados Unidos al diálogo internacional que virtualmente abandonó bajo el gobierno de Bush. Obama tiene uno de sus costados más interesantes en la lucidez con la que ha encarado la urgente necesidad de hacer reencontrar a los Estados Unidos con diversos actores mundiales que no tendrían razones filosóficas de fondo para estar tan distantes de ese país como están hoy –típicamente Francia y Alemania. Pero cuando Obama intente recuperar fuertes alianzas con las democracias europeas, se topará seguramente con tres factores: a) los problemas de presupuesto que esos países afrontan en medio de una crisis globalizada, que les limitan en su capacidad de acción militar; b) con los diversos compromisos de esas naciones –especialmente importantes los alemanes, que dependen de energía que viene de oriente- con Rusia; y c) con el fuerte anti-norteamericanismo que ha crecido entre la población europea en los últimos cinco años. Rusia, nuevamente, aparece como un actor decisivo, que parece dispuesto a empujar el tablero internacional hacia un formato de segunda guerra fría que, en muchos sentidos, sería un paso atrás respecto de los esfuerzos de desarme de los años 90. En este punto, no hay que descartar que Rusia (que ha dejado un pie en Georgia) haga alguna movida fuerte en estas próximas semanas, aprovechando la debilidad y el relativo caos interno por el que están pasando los Estados Unidos en este contexto de cambio de gobierno y complicaciones financieras y militares. Finalmente, la cuestión de la amenaza explícita de Irán sobre Israel y la consiguiente tensión en sentido contrario por parte de los israelitas, puede volverse más seria a medida que pase el tiempo. Y especialmente Irán y Rusia saben, como lo sabe Obama (quien lo repitió en los tres debates con McCain) que ninguna potencia puede mantener su supremacía militar si pierde su supremacía económica. El mensaje es claro: Estados Unidos tiene que solucionar sí o sí su situación económica si pretende aplicar cualquier política exitosa a nivel exterior. El panorama hoy, en ese aspecto, es sombrío para Estados Unidos; pero también es cierto que los recursos de renovación y recuperación de los Estados Unidos se han demostrado muy fuertes a lo largo de su historia, y no hay ninguna razón clara que haga pensar que no lo harán de nuevo en esta coyuntura. Esta cuestión de la necesaria independencia financiera que los estadounidenses contemplan con preocupación tiene un capítulo totalmente central en la necesidad de conquistar independencia energética. Este tema ha sido central a la campaña de ambos candidatos, y curiosamente no aparece destacado en las noticias sobre la misma que se publican fuera de Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, la centralidad de la cuestión energética está ligada directamente a un tema que interesa a todo el planeta, que es la cuestión del calentamiento global. Es sorprendente que los críticos de los Estados Unidos por su indiferencia –tenaz bajo la administración Bush- respecto de los problemas del cambio climático global, no hayan notado que van a ser probablemente los Estados Unidos, y muy probablemente en un plazo históricamente insignificante (Obama y McCain hablan de entre 5 y 10 años) los que ofrecerán al mundo las primeras soluciones tecnológicas viables en términos de energías alternativas. Para poner solo un ejemplo, relativo al transporte, digamos que el creador de eBay, Elon Musk ha fundado una nueva empresa, Tesla, y con ella ha producido, en pleno Silicon Valley, una zona carente de tradición en la industria automotriz, ya el prototipo de un coche eléctrico, el Roadster , que funciona con 6,000 baterías de iones de litio (las mismas que lleva un laptop) del tamaño de un dedo, y que es ya aproximadamente el doble más eficiente en términos de consumo de combustible que los actuales híbridos –sobre todo japoneses— a disposición en el mercado. El Roadster, recién en fase experimental, cuesta por ahora 109,000 dólares la unidad, pero Musk ya ha recibido unos 1,000 pedidos de gente que puede pagarlo, como Arnold Schwarzenegger y George Clooney. En cualquier caso, ya el combustible necesario para producir la energía eléctrica para recargar las baterías de estos coches es muy inferior al que sería consumido si anduvieran con nafta, de modo que su generalización sería un golpe gigantesco a la dependencia del petróleo que debilita a Estados Unidos (el transporte se lleva un escalofriante 30% de todo el consumo de petróleo del país), y la generalización en el mundo de soluciones de este tipo, y no solo en el transporte, significaría un cambio global de proporciones históricas. El Roadster, en su imperfecto estado inicial, puede ya recorrer 200 millas sin ver un enchufe, y para recargarlo sólo hace falta conectarlo a una toma común de corriente doméstica, que se puede instalar en cualquier garage. La General Motors, uno de los gigantes de la industria automovilística de Detroit (industria contemplada en los últimos tiempos por el país como un espacio torpe e incapaz de innovaciones) ha comprometido sin embargo su palabra y prestigio al decir que su primer coche eléctrico, el Chevy Volt, estará en venta al público en general en 2010. El Volt se basa en una filosofía algo más conservadora, pero ha optado por una perspectiva híbrida también mucho más eficiente que los modelos existentes ya hoy. Los estudios de la GM han indicado que el norteamericano medio recorre unas 40 millas (unos 60 km) por día en su coche. De modo que el Volt tendrá esa autonomía, y luego encenderá un pequeño motor de nafta para recargar las baterías, sin necesidad de enchufar o detener el coche. El sistema va unido a un GPS que viene de fábrica con el vehículo, en el que el conductor puede ingresar el destino de su viaje. Con esa información, el Volt encenderá su motor sólo el tiempo necesario para que la carga dada a las baterías permita llegar a ese destino, en donde el coche se podría enchufar, ahorrando así combustible fósil. Estos y otros programas actualmente en curso –y otros que un gobierno de Obama, especialmente, ha prometido aplicar o apoyar como prioridad nacional número uno- apuntan al gran objetivo de alcanzar independencia energética de las naciones petroleras, algunas de las cuales como Irán, Rusia o Venezuela están en las antípodas ideológicas y filosóficas de los Estados Unidos. De lograrlo, la consiguiente disminución de la importancia global de los países petroleros, y el mejoramiento del medio ambiente, contribuirían a hacer del mundo un lugar más limpio y, al menos potencialmente, más pacífico. Finalmente, América Latina no parece ocupar ningún lugar prominente en este mapa futuro de prioridades de política exterior para Obama. En su última polémica con McCain, oponiéndose a un reproche que el republicano le hizo porque los demócratas, que controlan el Congreso, no votaron el TLC con Colombia y lo hicieron fracasar, Obama respondió atacando al actual gobierno de Colombia por "violar los derechos humanos", una línea probablemente informada a Obama por sus asesores sobre América Latina, que parecen, por ahora, más partidarios de un apoyo a las izquierdas latinoamericanas representadas por Chávez, Evo Morales y Correa, en detrimento de los regímenes democrático liberales como los de Colombia, Perú o Chile. Si ese es realmente el rumbo que Obama va a tomar respecto de América Latina –cosa que aún no está clara, en la medida en que las señales de Obama sobre América Latina han sido tenues—, los próximos años verán un interesante intercambio de posiciones (lo que generaría una suerte de perplejidad ideológica continental) entre los 'antiimperialistas' por un lado, y los 'liberales de izquierda' (no se conoce casi ningún gobierno que no se considere "de izquierda" en América Latina, sea cual sea el contenido de su política social o económica) por otro. La perplejidad a que me refiero viene de la evidente contradicción existente entre futuros aliados ideológicos que sostienen, sin embargo, posiciones discursivas incompatibles respecto del capitalismo y el liberalismo. En el discurso de Evo Morales, Chávez o Correa –y aún hasta cierto punto en el de Cristina Kirchner— el capitalismo y el liberalismo son repetidamente atacados como formas malignas de organización económica y política. Si Obama se inclina a apoyar a esos regímenes y discursos en América Latina, veremos en los Estados Unidos a un aliado discursivo de los antiliberales y anticapitalistas latinoamericanos, pero que seguirá siendo totalmente liberal y capitalista –eso está, desde luego, completamente fuera de toda discusión-, y que además no tendrá sumas de dinero especialmente relevantes para enviar a Latinoamérica. Además, la nueva política energética norteamericana, como hemos visto, va en el sentido de cortar del todo su relativa dependencia de Venezuela, principal motor del nuevo antiimperialismo sureño. Si esto es así, los antiimperialistas de antaño tendrán a un extraño "aliado" ideológico en la Casa Blanca que, sin embargo, les dará muy poco en términos prácticos, aunque quizá al mismo tiempo les envíe nueva legitimidad discursiva desde el centro del mundo desarrollado. Al mismo tiempo, una administración de Obama puede contribuir a debilitar los principales dogmas que los antiimperialistas (especialmente los de línea dura como Chávez, Evo Morales o Kirchner) siempre han mantenido respecto a la política exterior yanqui, si ese país se retira de Irak, limita su intervención a una defensa legítima respecto de los atentados del 11 de setiembre, mejora sus alianzas globales, elige a un negro desvirtuando el racismo, aumenta su supremacía económica y militar (si el plan energético y de renovación tecnológica de Obama funciona, eso es probablemente lo que va a pasar), y elimina los aspectos irritantes de la política abiertamente intervencionista que bajo la administración Bush permitió, con toda razón, a los imperialistas de ambas clases ilustrar su postura con numerosos ejemplos cercanos en el tiempo. Como culminación de todo esto, semejantes cambios demostrarían que la democracia liberal goza de buena salud, en la medida en que sigue siendo capaz de criticarse a sí misma y cambiar de modo tan sustancial el rumbo de un país, en medio de tan grandes dificultades. En cambio, los liberales latinoamericanos, cuyo discurso aparece en derrota y marginado por todas partes en el continente en los últimos años, verán una continuación del triunfo de la economía de mercado y la globalización, al tiempo que no podrán ser ya acusados de ser apañados por los yanquis, quienes estarán quizá enviando ejércitos de jóvenes universitarios a colaborar en las campañas de alfabetización venezolanas. Un panorama interesantísimo, que al colapsar las trincheras ideológicas históricas, podría abrir un contacto y diálogo diferente entre las dos Américas, históricamente empantanado por la rigidez de esos esquemas ideológicos, característicos del siglo XX, y que aún orientan la discusión en tantos casos. Los asesores de Obama pueden estar equivocados en algunos puntos de su visión sobre América Latina (de hecho, creo que no reconocer la legitimidad de un gobierno con el apoyo popular del de Uribe en Colombia es un error), pero al menos cometen errores diferentes de los de sus predecesores, los que pueden llevar a una movida general de las fichas y a un nuevo diseño de la comprensión mutua entre dos continentes que, de momento, siguen entendiéndose muy poco. .- Para una visión persuasiva que mantiene que la crisis financiera no significa fatalmente crisis económica global, véase por ejemplo la columna de Casey B.

Transcript of interview with Francis Dubois about his experience in the U.S. Army Air Service (later the United States Army Air Corps) during World War I. He discusses his experiences during basic training, the war, being shipped to England and Ireland, and problems after the war with re-assimilation. He also discusses his opinions on subsequent wars and treatment of veterans. ; WWI Transcriptions Francis Dubois Transcriber: John Pino Date Started: 2/28/18 (Interview Begins) Fred Holder (Interviewer): This interview is taking place in the home of Mr. Francis Dubois, and I was wondering how old were you when you entered the service? Francis Dubois (Interviewee): 21 years old. Holder: And did you live in Fitchburg? Dubois: In Fitchburg, I lived on 48 Main St. at the time. Holder: What branch of service did you enter? The Army? Dubois: I was in the signal corps, forerunner of the air corps. I was in the aviation section of the signal corps. Holder: You live in Fitchburg all your life? Dubois: Born and brought up here. Holder: Were you drafted or did you volunteer? Dubois: I volunteered. Holder: When you entered the service, what did you think, you know, did it turn out to be what you expected? Dubois: Well I didn't know what to expect so I wasn't disappointed or disillusioned either. Either way, I just accepted it as it came. Holder: What was your family's attitude what was your parents' feelings about you going off to the war? Dubois: To be frank with you I don't know what their attitude might have been, I did not consult with them. I merely enlisted and that was it. Holder: Where'd you do your basic training? Dubois: Basic training was down in Waco, Texas, 3 months down there. Holder: What kind of- what did it consist of mostly? Dubois: Well drilling, that was entirely drilling. In the mud fields down there. Holder: What'd you do before the war? Dubois: I was in business at 748 Main St. as a photographer. Holder: And when you came back did you go back into photography? Dubois: I went back into photography. Holder: When you were um, when you went into the service, you went in as a private obviously, what was the pay like then? (Dubois and a person in the background start laughing) Dubois: Well I was fortunate, I got in when the pay was raised from 15 to 30$ for private. Holder: Is that a month? Dubois: That's a month, and there was a 10% increase if you served overseas. Holder: Did you serve overseas? Dubois: I did. Holder: Where sir? Dubois: From April to December, I went to England and Ireland. I did not get to France. Holder: When you went overseas, did you go over in the big transports? Dubois: I went over in an English ship, the Armadale Cassilan. It was a converted cruiser. Holder: When you um, when you were in England, what was the feelings of the people towards you? Dubois: When we got there it was very poor. They complained that we came over there after the war had been lost (intense depression and nihilism felt in England?). Holder: When was that? Dubois: In April (1917?). Holder: As you were there, over time did peoples' impressions improve? Dubois: What I told these people is "just wait a few months and see!" (Laughter) Dubois: "And by August things will turn and change." Holder: What rank were you by the time you were overseas, were you still a private? Dubois: No I was a corporal, that was as high as I got. Holder: That's as high as you got. How long were you in the service? Dubois: A year and 3 days. Holder: What type of food did you have when you were overseas? Dubois: In England well… not too hot, not too good. Our best meal over there was New Zealand rabbits. (Laughter) Dubois: And this may sound corny to you but uh, we would scrape the maggots off of them before we ate them. Holder: (Disgusted groan) (Man laughing in background) Dubois: Well, before we cooked them and ate them let me put it that way. In their raw state we scraped them first. Holder (somewhat bewildered by the previous conversation): Umm… The equipment that you were supplied with was it good? Dubois: Uhh, the "equipment?" What do you mean the "equipment?" Holder: Umm, well, like during your basic training were the rifles more or less new or were they old or the uniforms? Things of this nature. Dubois: The uniforms were alright, they were woolen uniforms. But as far as equipment or rifles and armaments go, I had a gun strapped to my waist for 48 hours. Two 24 hour stretches and I handled a rifle for about 30 seconds. Never drilled with a rifle. Holder: Now umm, your officers, how did they treat you? Dubois: Hm? Holder: The officers, how did they treat you sir? Dubois: We had American officers, they were alright. Holder: How did you feel towards them? Dubois: They were there and they used me alright so I can't complain. (Chuckles in background) Holder (chortling): You were one of the lucky ones I guess. Before you went overseas and you didn't enlist in the war what did you think you were going to fight for? Dubois: Well to put down the Kaiser (Kaiser Wilhelm II, emperor of Imperial Germany). And that was about it. To put an end to his uhh, well his aggressiveness. Holder: What was your view, well, how did you feel towards the German people? Was there animosity built up or? Dubois: Well, I can't say that I held any animosity toward them. Any more than I suppose they held for the American people. Holder: Now how about um… you said you didn't make it to France, did you meet any French officers maybe in England or any in Ireland? Dubois: No, I didn't meet any of em', but I was informed that had it lasted two weeks longer; I would have been in France. Holder: Um, when you came back- Dubois: I went to Ireland before I came back I went to Ireland from England. Holder: Did you like the Irish people better than the English? Dubois: Oh it was great over there! We could do anything and get away with anything! (Laughter) Dubois: The food was great over there! Good meat and everything else! Holder: What'd you do in Ireland? Dubois: I was training there also, continued training they tried to make and airplane mechanic out of me. But I am not mechanically inclined, but they said "You're a mechanic," so I was a mechanic! Of sorts… (Laughter) Holder: Were you married during this time? Dubois: No I was single. I wasn't married until 2 years after I got back. Holder: Did you know the missus before you married here? Dubois: This is the missus (gestures over to his wife, who starts chuckling), she was a lady friend at that time. Holder: What was her feelings towards you being overseas? Dubois: I dunno, she never told me! (Dubois and his wife laugh) She could answer that for herself! Holder: Um, when you came back, what was the attitude of people upon your return? Were you a conquering hero or were they just happy to see you back or? Dubois: We received a nice welcome in New York harbor. They had all the fireboats squirtin' water up, I dunno how high but uh, a great welcome back. The only thing is that when you try to get back to where you were when you left. Assume the role that you have been in when you left, it was not so nice. You were a great guy when you went, but you were one of those fellas when you come back. Try to assume your place. Holder: Did you have trouble getting back to your photographer's job when you got back or things of this nature? Dubois: Uhh, slightly. Slightly. Holder: How about when you came back uhh, to Fitchburg and tried to set up your photography and- Dubois: Well that's what I'm talking about. Holder: Did the veterans' office help you at all? Dubois: The veterans were alright towards me but the uhh, competition I had left behind, they weren't so nice. They expected me to stay over there. Holder: So um, when you did come back though, the veterans' office at that time did they help you out in perhaps- Dubois: Well in WWI, the veterans didn't get much help from the government (important point) or anything else. Holder: You didn't receive your bonuses, how did you feel about that? Dubois: I uhh, I received a bonus… uhh. I forget how many years it was after I was discharged. But I did get a bonus. Holder: At the time you were supposed to get it, I dunno, very soon afterwards. How did you feel when you didn't get them, like a number of veterans didn't when they marched on Washington? (reference to the Bonus Army, when 4,000 disgruntled WWI veterans marched on Washington in 1932 to get their promised bonus in the immediate aftermath of the war) Dubois: We didn't anticipate we were gonna get em' so we weren't disappointed. Holder: So you weren't very surprised when you didn't get it after all. Dubois: No. Holder: What other benefits did you receive from the service? Dubois: What benefits? Holder: Yeah. Dubois: Well I dunno I think it toughened my body a little bit. It taught me a lot of things, I met a lot of different people. And I think that uhh, that's about what I got out of it. Holder: Now what kind of benefits did you get from say umm, in a monetary way from the government after you got out? Dubois: Oh I didn't… (Dubois thinks for a moment) I think we were given on discharge a ticket home and $60. Now I won't swear to the $60, I'm not too sure about it now. But afterwards I did get $950 when they paid the bonus. Holder: Um, in World War II did you see any service there sir? Dubois: World War II I was on the draft board in Fitchburg. Holder (sarcastically): Ehh that must have been a fun job. (Dubois wife laughs) Dubois: It was a good job. Holder: Was that more difficult than actually going over? Dubois: Much more, much more abuse too. And, it was an expense to anybody that was on the draft board. You paid for your own expenses, your own transportation. They gave you about a gallon of gas a month which you had to pay for, to get to and from the meetings. And that's about it. Holder: Now your chapter of the local legion, when did you join that organization? Dubois: I joined the American legion in 1919. And in 1948 I started the Cloygon(?) post 429. As first commander, I have been in office for quite a few years. I've been on the executive board, I've been the finance officer. Then I've pulled out for a while and now I'm back in again. Holder: What's the role of your organization now? Dubois: Well they try to uhh, induce patriotism. Watch out for the benefits of the veterans, their wives and children, the widows. It's a service organization. (Holder adjusts the microphone) Holder: Um, when you look back on the war, when you went over and everything, did you think it did you a lot of good going overseas like that? Dubois: Going overseas? Holder: Right. Dubois: Well it broadened my perspective of the world and its people. Cause' I met people on their own standing ground so to speak. I met the English in England, I was at camp Naughtyash. And I was at Sheffield airdromes. Holder: Would you ever go overseas again? Dubois: No. Holder: No? Huh. Did you ever meet any of those people overseas, did they come over to the United States? Dubois: There was one couple I met over there and they came to Boston. And I met them in Boston. And they came to Fitchburg once, that's the extent of it. Holder: Now um, when you look back on World War I, and you look back at World War II do you think that World War I really accomplished what you set out to do? Dubois: It's very evident we did not, World War I was supposed to be "the war to end all wars" (very popular phrase at the time of the war, coined by H.G. Wells), and I don't have to tell you any more of what's happened since. Holder: Now does it leave you disillusioned or disheartened or anything of that nature? Dubois: Oh no, that's life, that's the world. We're not all of the same mind so where's there a difference of opinion… sometimes it gets a little. well. a little "belligerent" if you wish. Holder: Umm, when you look back again at World War I, what experience sticks out most in your mind? Dubois: Nothing in particular now, not at this time. It's all in the dim past now all the edges have worn off, there's nothing that stands out now. Holder: When you came back to Fitchburg ya know, the general people, not the competition you said you were having trouble with, the average people, where they very helpful to you? Dubois: They were all nice to me. Except the competition. Holder: Right. Dubois: I can't complain about them. Holder: You're retired now I assume? Dubois: Yes. Holder: Umm, you've lived in Fitchburg all your life, you ever thought you'd like to, go over again? Dubois: Well I have had that thought but uhh, I dunno I like to stay at home now. My traveling days I feel are all behind me. The desire to travel has left me. Holder: Now, again, you know, when you look back at World War I and it was the "war to end all wars" and it failed and then World War II, um, when you look at World War I compared to World War II, does anything stick out in your mind there? Anything at all that you were thinking of? Dubois: Well one thing that does uhh, is the comparison of the treatment of the boys, what they get and what we got. When we got out, you're on your own and that's about it. When the World War II come along, they get all kinds of compensation, they get the education. They want to buy a house, they're helped to do that. Those are the things, the contrast that stands out in my mind. And as yet, the World War I veteran has not got a bonafide pension! You get a disability pension but not a right pension, they never gave it! And 20 years after the Spanish-American War, the Spanish-American War veterans got a pension (interesting, why no pensions for WWI vets? Can't be an issue of time period as pensions existed even before the Great War). An outright pension! World War I are the ones that the government forgot. Holder: Is that- now, Woodrow Wilson was president then and do you hold it against the Democrats that you never got a pension? Dubois: Well I can't say that the Democrats or the Republicans if one is as bad as the other. When it comes to giving it to the veterans, one is as bad as the other. Although I think the Democrats have been a little more liberal. But they've put the lid on too. Holder: Do you think that the American Legion should campaign more actively to get their- Dubois: It's pretty hard I think for them to campaign more actively than they are doing. Holder: What type of things are they doing to try and get it for em'? Dubois: Well they have a lobby in Washington and then there's a lot of literature that's spread around. A lot of the articles you read in the newspaper originate with the American Legion. And also with other veterans' organizations. We're not alone in this. Holder: Now, what do you think about other organizations? Why did you join the American Legion instead of one of the other ones? Dubois: It was the first one that I was able to join when I got out of the service. I did not join the veterans of foreign wars for, well… particular reasons that I didn't like at the time when it was available. But I have since joined the DAV, and I am a member of the Veterans of World War I. I belong to 3 organizations. Holder: Now, are you active in all 3? Dubois: No. Holder: Just the American Legion? Dubois: Just the Legion. Holder: The American Legion is famous for sponsoring things like baseball and baseball teams and what not and things like Flag Day and things of this nature, what other types of things do they do? Dubois: Well there are a lot of things that are not shown on the surface. We sponsor a lot of things, we've got 3 Eagle Scouts coming up, that we sponsor. We pay for their badges and so forth. A school needs a flag, we give it to them. Any new troop that starts, they come to the Legion for a flag or whatever they need. There's donations made to all these… call em' charities if you wish, the Christmas Seals, Easter Seals, you name em' all those things. We contribute to them and we sponsor different things. We have the Sally League coming up in Fitchburg. Where the Cloygon post is going to sponsor the entire league! Not just a part of it. We have sponsored the uhh, Little League at times. But we've discontinued that. We did have a team in the Legion baseball, but due to lack of interest by the players we've discontinued that. Holder: When you were overseas, did any of your friends get sent over into France and actually get wounded? Dubois: Yes, some of them got killed. Holder: Besides the obvious pain and loss, what was your reaction to that? Did it give you any doubts of why you should be there? Dubois: I never gave it any thought. Holder: You never gave it any thought? Dubois: No, I never gave a thought about it. Holder: Were any friends of yours or anybody you happened to know highly decorated? Dubois: Yes, there is one, here in Fitchburg. A fella by the name of Bouchet. He'd been highly decorated. Holder: Now you were not with him when he got the decorations obviously? Dubois: No I was not with him at all in the service. Holder: What was your reaction when you see him compared to you, when he got into the action, did you want to get into the action? Dubois: Its uhh, it's one of the things that you hanker for a little bit when you're in the service. You feel that you're being left out of the show. But, that's the way it was. I never wanted to be in the infantry, that's for sure. And this fella was in the infantry. I was in the aviation part, I had hoped to be an aerial photographer. But, that's the army you know, they put you where they feel like it. So many names down the list and you're that, regardless of what you were doing before, unless you had a lot of political influence, you just went where they sent you. Holder: Now what about when you were being transported overseas on the British ship there, were you worried about the U-boats? Dubois: You always looked out for them but during the last 2 days they were right with us. 2 days out from England, there were 2 U-boats in the pack of transport ships of 13 boats, and we were in the center, and there was a U-boat on each side. On each side of the boat, now at that particular time I had been on watch all night, so I was sleeping down at the bottom of the boat, until they started to throw out depth charges. Then I got up in a hurry like everybody else. We got up on deck hoping to see some action but all we saw was when they throw over the depth charges.

Background The scale-up of tobacco control, especially after the adoption of the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control, is a major public health success story. Nonetheless, smoking remains a leading risk for early death and disability worldwide, and therefore continues to require sustained political commitment. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) offers a robust platform through which global, regional, and national progress toward achieving smoking-related targets can be assessed. Methods We synthesised 2818 data sources with spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression and produced estimates of daily smoking prevalence by sex, age group, and year for 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2015. We analysed 38 risk-outcome pairs to generate estimates of smoking-attributable mortality and disease burden, as measured by disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). We then performed a cohort analysis of smoking prevalence by birth-year cohort to better understand temporal age patterns in smoking. We also did a decomposition analysis, in which we parsed out changes in all-cause smoking-attributable DALYs due to changes in population growth, population ageing, smoking prevalence, and risk-deleted DALY rates. Finally, we explored results by level of development using the Socio-demographic Index (SDI). Findings Worldwide, the age-standardised prevalence of daily smoking was 25·0% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 24·2–25·7) for men and 5·4% (5·1–5·7) for women, representing 28·4% (25·8–31·1) and 34·4% (29·4–38·6) reductions, respectively, since 1990. A greater percentage of countries and territories achieved significant annualised rates of decline in smoking prevalence from 1990 to 2005 than in between 2005 and 2015; however, only four countries had significant annualised increases in smoking prevalence between 2005 and 2015 (Congo [Brazzaville] and Azerbaijan for men and Kuwait and Timor-Leste for women). In 2015, 11·5% of global deaths (6·4 million [95% UI 5·7–7·0 million]) were attributable to smoking worldwide, of which 52·2% took place in four countries (China, India, the USA, and Russia). Smoking was ranked among the five leading risk factors by DALYs in 109 countries and territories in 2015, rising from 88 geographies in 1990. In terms of birth cohorts, male smoking prevalence followed similar age patterns across levels of SDI, whereas much more heterogeneity was found in age patterns for female smokers by level of development. While smoking prevalence and risk-deleted DALY rates mostly decreased by sex and SDI quintile, population growth, population ageing, or a combination of both, drove rises in overall smokingattributable DALYs in low-SDI to middle-SDI geographies between 2005 and 2015. Interpretation The pace of progress in reducing smoking prevalence has been heterogeneous across geographies, development status, and sex, and as highlighted by more recent trends, maintaining past rates of decline should not be taken for granted, especially in women and in low-SDI to middle-SDI countries. Beyond the effect of the tobacco industry and societal mores, a crucial challenge facing tobacco control initiatives is that demographic forces are poised to heighten smoking's global toll, unless progress in preventing initiation and promoting cessation can be substantially accelerated. Greater success in tobacco control is possible but requires effective, comprehensive, and adequately implemented and enforced policies, which might in turn require global and national levels of political commitment beyond what has been achieved during the past 25 years.

Project Description Business at the Crossroads - Ogden City is a project to collect oral histories related to changes in the Ogden business district since World War II. From the 1870s to World War II, Ogden was a major railroad town, with nine rail systems. With both east-west and north-south rail lines, business and commercial houses flourished as Ogden became a shipping and commerce hub. After World War II, the railroad business declined. Some government agencies and businesses related to the defense industry continued to gravitate to Ogden after the war—including the Internal Revenue Regional Center, the Marquardt Corporation, Boeing Corporation, Volvo-White Truck Corporation, Morton-Thiokol, and several other smaller operations. However, the economy became more service oriented, with small businesses developing that appealed to changing demographics, including the growing Hispanic population. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account.

Dave discusses his experiences with 25th Street. AP: So today is October 22, 2013. We're in the home of Dave Aoki. We are here to discuss some of your experiences on 25th Street. My name is Avery Pince and Lorrie Rands is helping and also asking questions as they come up. Lorrie's pretty experienced with 25th Street, so I'm sure she'll have some questions for you. Last time we talked we talked about the store that you owned, your barber shop that you owned. What was it called? DA: Dave's Barber Shop AP: Just Dave's Barber Shop, pretty simple. Your store was on the North side of the street? DA: Yes, North side. AP: Do you have an address? DA: 248, it was at 248, 25th Street and then later I went to 208, 25th. AP: Oh that's right you moved up a block. DA: Down the block, towards the Union Station. AP: And how long were you there? DA: Well I was there from 1949-1989. AP: Wow. I guess we could start with some of the exciting parts. Did you have any infamous clients or any clientele that you could remember? DA: All clients from the murdered down to the-- 1 AP: To the murdered? Is that what you said? DA: Yeah even people that had committed murder. AP: Really? DA: It used to be quite a wild street in those days, back in the 1940's. AP: Were you busy? DA: Oh yeah. The drug of the street in those days was THC. We didn't have any drugs, they had everybody using THC, terprahydronincodine, it was cough medicine. That was the drug of the street. AP: On 25th? DA: Yeah, just most everybody used to go to the drug store and buy the cough medicine that had the codeine in it. They called it THC, terpahydronincodine. That was the drug of the street in those days plus they had marijuana but they didn't have any hard stuff other than that. Oh they would drink, the Indians would drink in paregoric cough medicine. AP: Why did you pick 25th street to put your barber shop on there? DA: Oh that's where the traffic was. I was on Grant Avenue prior to that, from 1945- 1949, I was on Grant Avenue and there wasn't as much traffic as on 25th street so I moved to 25th street. AP: Even just a couple of blocks made the difference? DA: Oh it was just that block, half a block. AP: Did you see a difference in the 40's after the war with the business versus-- DA: Bout the same AP: Was it a different clientele or anything like that? 2 DA: The clientele ran from the top to the bottom, from college professors down to district judges and to the criminal element. AP: Everybody came in your door? DA: Yeah I got along good with 'em cause I supported a lot, I loaned them money when they needed money I loaned a lot of money out to criminals, but I never got stuck. They always paid it back. It was an unwritten law on 25th street that if you borrowed a dollar you would pay back a dollar and a half at the end of the month. So that was pretty good interest. AP: And most people kept to that? DA: Oh yeah. They were real honest about it. It was just an unwritten law. I didn't know it was there, but it was an unwritten law, so if they borrowed ten dollars they would give you fifteen dollars at the end of the month. AP: That's pretty good. DA: It's pretty good. AP: Did that sort of help you become more friendly with everybody? DA: Oh yeah. AP: Cause you did those things? Like loaning out money? DA: That's the reason I never was robbed. They all felt that they'd protect me so I was never robbed. AP: That's pretty great. Do you remember any particular events that happened on 25th street while you were working down there? DA: Oh all kinds of events. AP: Like what? 3 DA: Well, the fire on--the hotel fire. AP: You remember the hotel fire? DA: In 1979, in November of 79. It was the big fire when Colorado and the hotel burned down above the Nicholas Grocery Store. There were 17 people that perished in it; I think there were 17 people that died in that fire. But we had a lot of stabbings and shootings but I can't remember the date of when it happened and stuff like that. AP: Last time you mentioned that you were one of the first business owners. DA: To get a license. AP: To get a license? DA: Yeah. First Japanese during the war, I was the first one to obtain a business license. The local people had what they called a grandfather clause, that licensed people who were in business before the war they had a grandfather clause. But during the war they didn't issue any license to Japanese and I received the first license in March of 45. Then following that I think American Eagle Café got their license there, but the people that were in business would work under some Caucasian people that had the business and they would sublease it to them so they were in business. Like George's Café had several owners so George's Café would lease it out to the Japanese people, but they didn't issue any license until then. AP: You mentioned before we started recording that you knew Rose and Bertie. DA: Oh yeah I knew Rose, Bertie. AP: Did they frequent your shop? 4 DA: Oh no I just knew Bertie real well. She lived on 36th and oh it was about the 700 block, next to the Leavitt's Mortuary. The first house west of the Leavitt's Mortuary, that's where she lived. She was a really nice person, but I used to see her mother about every day. AP: Rose and Bertie's mother? DA: She was a very attractive woman, tall woman. AP: So they were from Ogden? DA: I think she was a native of Ogden. I'm not sure. AP: Do you remember the name of the café that was just up from you? You had mentioned a couple of the other cafes that were on the street. DA: Well Little American Eagle Café and Nighthawk, east of the Nighthawk, and they let her change it to a Chinese café. There was a Nighthawk and an American Eagle and it was a Sunrise Café, and George's Café and a Lincoln Café. AP: All in the same building? DA: No down the street on the same block. It was one of their small restaurants on the north side and on the south side there was Star Noodle. AP: Did you spend a lot of time on 25th street outside of working there or did you just? DA: Oh yeah I spent a lot of time there. AP: You were saying something last time about your son. Did he not spend a lot of time on 25th street? DA: Well he spent a lot of time down at the shop there with me. He would come after school; he'd come down to the shop and stay with me. He'd ride home with me. He didn't want to go to Quincy school. We lived up in the district where he 5 should've went to Quincy school, but he didn't want to go there. He wanted to go to Grant school so I let him go to Grant school. See we lived on Patterson, 842 Patterson, so he was supposed to go to Quincy school but he didn't want to go there he wanted to go to Grant School. So he'd come down with me in the morning and go to school there. Although my parents objected to him going to Grant school there. AP: Why is that? DA: Well it was all minority and kids of a different ethnic group and there were pretty tough kids there. AP: It made your parents nervous or it just made your parents uncomfortable? DA: Yeah my dad especially. He didn't like 25th street. He would come in and after every weekend as soon as school was out my father would come in and pick him up and take him out to Honeyville. AP: Your parents didn't live in Ogden? DA: No, they lived in Honeyville. They settled in Honeyville in 1907. AP: Wow. So from Honeyville you moved to Ogden and then you got married? I can't remember… DA: I was married in Denver Colorado. Oh I lived all over. AP: So you went to school in Colorado and then came back? DA: Yeah I lived in California, went to school in Las Angeles for a while till the war started and I came back and went to school here. Later went to Colorado and went to school there. I lived a good life in Ogden and Denver though. I lived in the hotel, took three meals in a restaurant, lived a good life. Sent all my clothes 6 to the dry cleaners. I had a good life. I would date the girl I married she was working at a drug store there and we went out every day. I would pick her up after work, go out to eat and then so I saw her six days a week. AP: That's pretty convenient. She went to school too? DA: Oh she went to a successful business college and was working for a lady writer. She just couldn't stand her because this lady would get up at 2:00 in the morning, a thought would come in her mind. She'd wake her up and want to dictate to her. She went to a successful business college, taking shorthand, so she'd have to take shorthand for this lady writer. She'd get up at 2:00 in the morning and have an idea in her head and she'd want to stay up till 5:00 dictating. My wife just couldn't stand that so she went to work for a drug store. AP: Then you opened your shop after Denver on 25th street? DA: Well I opened before I got married and then we got married. AP: Were there certain times that you were a little busier? Did you notice a change in your business with the railroad leaving or anything like that? DA: No, not that I know of. AP: You mentioned before that you knew some of the sheriffs that were trying to clean up the city. That you cut their hair as well? DA: Yeah, see when I first came to Ogden Sheriff Mac Wade was the sheriff. His chief deputy was Burt Cook and after that Leroy Hadley became sheriff. Then after Hadley retired Wilson Allen from Huntsville became sheriff for one term and Wally Feller was his deputy sheriff. After that then little ol' Ed Ryan became sheriff. He was a little fellow from San Francisco and Wayne King was his deputy 7 sheriff. Then before I left Ogden George Fisher became the deputy sheriff, he was sheriff and Sam Vanderheide was his chief assistant so that's when I left Ogden, George Fisher was the sheriff. AP: You knew all of them pretty well? DA: Well I knew George Fisher, Ed Ryan, and Leroy Hadley a little bit. I didn't know Mac Wade, I knew who he was. He lived in Pleasant View. It's when I first started Mac Wade was the sheriff. AP: You had said that you sat on the board of the police? DA: The Police Advisory Council AP: Police Advisory Council, right. Could you tell us a little bit about that? DA: Well I don't know. I was vice-chairman and Max Booth was the chairman. That's at the time that Leroy Jacobson was the chief of police and Joe Richie was the PR man. Now he's the mayor of Roy. He was only a sergeant, but he was the PR man for the Ogden police department. So after the meeting he would always go out. AP: Where would you go? DA: Private clubs. I was real naïve. I didn't know there were that many private clubs in Ogden. I didn't drink so I was the designated driver. AP: What was the purpose of the council? DA: Well I don't know, to promote better understanding between the police department. We had a real problem with people like Joe Breese from the Standard-Examiner. We had people from the Catholic Church, fathers and the principal of Ogden High School and downtown businesses of Ogden, the job core 8 people involved. So we had quite a number of people involved in bringing up different ideas to the city and police department. AP: So the goal was to help the city be a little bit better? DA: And understand the police department, yeah. AP: Were you on the committee because you were so a part of Ogden? DA: I think it was just the idea, the chief picked us. AP: You kind of had your finger on Ogden though, knowing everybody. DA: I thought it was sort of a clique anyway. AP: Ogden or the council? DA: Well the council in a sense because the Ogden department one time was controlled by the Masons one year, a few years. When the chief of police-depending on who the chief of police was, the Masons were in command. When Ernie Shaw was the chief of police all the Masons were all in high command, but after Ernie Shaw left they got rid of the Masons and the LDS people took over and became more prominent over the police department. At one point the Masons were very strong in Ogden here and the police department. Ernie Shaw was a Mason and Captain Bob Warren was a Mason, Captain Gibbs, Harold Gibbs, a Mason and Busick, Lt Busick was a Mason. Several high ranking officers all belonging to the Masonic Lodge. They used to say the Masons controlled the Ogden Police department. AP: That's really interesting. Do you remember what it was like to have a business on the north side of the street? 9 DA: Traffic was on the north side. People walked the north side, people very seldom walked the south side. AP: Why is that? DA: I don't know. All the taverns were on the north side. There was one tavern on the south side, one or two taverns, but most everything was on the north side. Everything like the houses of ill repute and all that were on the north side, so all the business traffic. People walked up-I would say about 80% of people walked the north side and about 20% walked the south side of the street. Very few people walked the south side of the street. AP: So do you think the south side did less business? DA: That was a true case. AP: Is that why you picked the north side or it was just an open-- DA: No I think that was one of the reasoning's, a huge sale on the north side for the traffic. AP: On the south side, Annabelle Weekly had her club. You mentioned that you knew her. DA: Who? AP: The Porter's and Waiter's Club? DA: That was on the lower block. Annabelle and Billie Weekly was between Lincoln and Wall Avenue, they were on the south side. AP: And you knew them? DA: Oh, yeah. I knew Annabelle real well. AP: Can you tell us a little bit about her or any sort of-- 10 DA: She was a real nice lady I'd say. I had nothing against Annabelle. Well I didn't know her husband Billie, he was an older man. I didn't really get to know him, but those days they didn't come up onto Grant Avenue. They stayed below everything. Colored folks stayed between Wall and Lincoln on the South side, the Porter's and Waiter's there, because they wouldn't even allow them into Cafes during the war. They couldn't even go across the street to the cafes. They were discriminated from going to the cafes. But a lot of the white people would go to the Porter's and Waiter's. There were a lot of people. AP: Did you ever go there? DA: Oh I'd been there for business to pick up some stuff they owed me. I loaned them one of those nail guns and I wanted it back so I went down. That's the only time I went there, to retrieve my stapler. I loaned it to them. AP: So other than just money changing hands, people worked together on 25th street within the businesses? DA: Yeah. AP: Nice. Did you get to know people better because you cut their hair or because you were their neighbor? DA: Well I probably knew just about everybody on the north side. AP: Was it because you cut their hair? DA: No, it was because in those days you had-what was it-the committee chest, the Red Feather, whatever it was. I used to go for donations and they asked me to canvass 25th street so I walked from the bank from Washington Boulevard down the streets so I pretty well knew everybody. I would solicit donations, what was 11 it? The Red Feather, they used to call that. It was an organization where they used to raise funds. AP: That's pretty cool. So you just went from building to building? DA: Yeah. They'd give me a number of businesses the one who asked for donations though. I would call on the businessmen for a donations and I asked a couple of fellows to assist me there from the Aim Fix it Shop and a fellow from the Paul Revere Life Insurance Company used to walk with me, go with me. AP: How did you get involved with that? They just came to you because you worked on 25th street? DA: They just wanted someone to do their dirty work. AP: They don't want to have to. LR: I had a couple of questions. AP: Go for it. LR: So I was curious when and where were you born? DA: In Honeyville LR: In Huntingville? DA: Honeyville LR: What year was that? DA: 1921. LR: Okay. So your parents live in Honeyville and eventually you came to Ogden. Why did you want to become a barber? DA: Well I got hurt in 1941, 1940 I guess. Let's see, was that 40 or 41? 19, I think it was in the fall of 1940. I was in an industrial accident involving, I got pinned 12 between a truck and packing shed and I hurt my back. It crushed my 5th lower bone and I was in a body cast and I couldn't sit up and go to school. I wanted to go back to school at county or something, but I couldn't sit there long enough so they finally enrolled me in beauty school. AP: Your parents did? DA: No, the people I was living with in California. I was living with the relatives and they had a large farm in central California and they had gone back to Detroit to pick up a new Packard in 1939 so they came through on the train and that's the first time I met some of my relatives. They wanted me to come down and assist them with the farm work down there. It was large; they had 110 acres of cantaloupes under cover and they had 90 or 100 acres of cotton. Every quarter they would have 100 acres of spring lettuce and fall lettuce. It was a big operation and they made me in charge of the tractor and truck driving and that's when I got hurt in an accident. Yeah the family I lived with, she was a little bit on the snob side there. She did everything and in those depression days the wages were 15/20 cents an hour, but she wore nothing but designer clothes. Elizabeth Arden was her favorite and I had to drive her to Los Angeles, to Robinson department store, to pick up her designer clothes. Everything was Elizabeth Arden in those days. AP: So they helped you get into beauty school? DA: Yeah, she's the one. I didn't know anything about beauty school and she talked me into going to it. Yeah, they lived a pretty fast life down there when I was there. We would go to the football games to see Southern California play Notre Dame, 13 when Knute Rockney, Pat O'Brian made the movies. They had a football game, we'd go down to that. University of California, Berkeley California, and even on the weekends they would say "let's go for Chinese food." We'd drive all the way to Los Angeles; 160 miles just to eat Chinese food. LR: So when did you decide to go back to Ogden, after your-- DA: Well after evacuation I had to leave Los Angeles on the 28th of February. See the curfew was during the war that the Japanese couldn't travel more than 3 miles and you couldn't be out after dark, after 8:00. The curfew was going in on the 21st of March so I left school on the 28th of February. I left Los Angeles by way of Western Airline, the school was able to get me a flight out of Los Angeles, Burbank California, and I came into Salt Lake City. I then enrolled in school at Ogden here, Mrs. Heaps Beauty School, and then we changed the name to Marinello. That's when they changed the school to Marinello Beauty School. It was Heap's Beauty School; Mrs. Heaps was on 24th and Washington where that federal building is. She had a school there. Delbert Heap and Laura Heap had Heap Beauty College. AP: Then you went to Denver after that? DA: Yeah in 1944 I decided to further go to school and take up barbering. So that's when I went to Denver because they didn't have a school in Utah. My parents were good enough to let me stay in a hotel, eat three meals in a restaurant. LR: So when you opened your shop on 25th street was there a lot of competition? Were there a lot of other barber shops? 14 DA: Oh yeah there were a lot of barber shops in Ogden at that time. There was probably in Ogden alone, there must have been 30 barber shops. See on 25th street they had a barber shop at the Union Station. They had one at the club barber shop, a Joe's Barber Shop, western barber shop, there was oh probably seven or eight barber shops on 25th street. LR: I was curious as to whether or not you remember some of the barbers that were on 25th street? DA: Yeah there was the Depot Barber shop and Joe's. Utah Barber Shop was Clyde Herrick, Ray Fishburn then they had the Cowboy up there. White City. Then on 24th street there was the Red Barber Shop and the Kiesle Barber Shop, Roland, Royal Barber Shop, and Mini Barber Shop and the boys are up on Harrison now they were over there on 24th. On 23rd there was a Rasmussen's, heavens there were quite a few. Then on Ben Lomond there was the Ben Lomond Hotel, La Verle Barber Shop, Red Wilson and further down Walker had one on 30th and Grant. Oh heavens I don't know. LR: Did you ever feel competition from any of them or did you guys work together? DA: We formed a union and it got a long pretty good, but some of them didn't appreciate it. It was at least, oh at least 30 barber shops in Ogden at that time. LR: Do you remember Willie Moore? DA: Yeah I know Willie real well. LR: Were you friends? DA: Yeah I used to go to Willie's all the time to deal with him. He first started at the depot and then he worked out in Roy with Lefty's, Lefty's barber shop. Then he 15 started a shop on Patterson Avenue, on Patterson and 30th down there. Then he moved over to 26th by the Bank of Utah, later he moved back to the place on 25th and Lincoln. LR: Where he's at now? DA: Yeah. I've known Willie for a good many years. I got some good stories. LR: Any you care to share? Love to hear them. DA: A colored fellow had passed away and Elmer Myers had the-remember the mortuary used to be on 26th and Adams, Myers Mortuary. So Elmer Myers thought it would be nice to have Willie come up and cut his hair. They paid a little more money, cutting a deceased person's hair, Willie was nervous anyway. They had this gentleman on the gurney and Willie was shaking all over. He dropped his comb on the floor, went to pick it up, and the gentlemen's arm fell off the gurney and hit Willie in the head. Willie turned pure white and he run out, knocked the door down at Myers Mortuary. He never came back for his equipment. Spooked him so bad. That's the best story on Willie Moore. LR: That's a great story, wow. Going a little more, I'll say gross. Were really close to the Reed Hotel when it burned down? DA: Yeah, I was underneath. I had the shop in the bottom. LR: So were you there when it was on fire? DA: No it burned during the night. Course the night-but I went down the next day and my electricity was on so I went to business. They were throwing mattresses out and I knew several people that burned to death in there. But I went up in the hotel with the fire department people to look at it afterwards. 16 LR: Was that strange? DA: Well when you live on 25th street pretty soon you get used to all that. LR: That's a good point. Do you remember the Kokomo? It was right there next to you. Was there a lot of hard traffic from that? DA: Before the Kokomo it was a rodeo café a rodeo bar and Simone's took over and renamed it Kokomo. Eddy Simone's father used to have a bar next to me, The National at about 244/246, 25th street. He later sold it to Pete Tulatas. He had it there and his father moved down to 28th or 27th and Washington Boulevard next to China Nite. I can't remember the bar they had there, he and his sister. Eddy's sister had a bar there then Eddy bought the bar, Kokomo. LR: Did you ever cut any of the homeless bums hair? Were they a part of your clientele? Or did they just kind of stay out? DA: Oh there was a few that'd come in when they had money. LR: Did you know one in particular by the name of Airplane? DA: Sure, he's the one that died in the hotel. Little old Spanish fellow. LR: I don't know much about him other than his name. DA: Oh yeah Airplane he lived in the hotel. He got burned to death in that fire. He always wanted to act like he was crazy, but he wasn't that crazy. That's why they called him Airplane because he was always looking at the sky running around. But he wasn't that crazy. Yeah I knew him quite well. AP: How did you know him? DA: Oh on the street. I knew all the bums on the street. 17 LR: How do I ask this question? Were you familiar with the, I've heard the term coined Japanese Town. Were you familiar with that? I was speaking with a gentleman who was very I'm not even quite sure what my question is. I was just curious if you were aware of it and if you were a part of that, of that community? DA: Well everybody knew each other on the street. I don't know who you talked too. Which one? Steve Koga? LR: I think his name is Ichita. I can't spell or pronounce his name. It starts with an I. DA: What does she do or he do? LR: He just grew up right there on Lincoln between, right close to Rose's place. He grew up, oh geez. DA: What did he do? LR: His family, he didn't really do anything. His family lived there. Now my mind has just kind of stopped. DA: See in 19 about 49 or 50 we formed a Japanese commercial club in Ogden with the business men and people behind the apartments. We made a directory, I was involved in making a directory so we canvased the city and got all the names. I have a copy of one of the directories at- LR: What was it called? DA: Japanese American Commercial Club, Dr. Iriki at the time was a physician. So we formed the Weber County Japanese Directory of 1953. I don't think there's many copies of that left. Everybody's wanted one so I gave one to Ray Lenono and a few others. 18 LR: I was just curious, because I had never-the first time I had ever heard, as he put it, the Japanese Town-I was curious if it was well known or it was just something- I've talked to other people and they've never heard of Japanese Town. DA: Well it was, during the war everyone came in see, from California, and they settled in the area of 25th street. Prior to that there was only two or three businesses in Ogden at that time, there was Kay Mukais Bamboo and Utah Noodle. The doctor Yoshtaka was a dentist and Star Noodle was a little widow headed on the south side of 25th next to labor temple. There were very few businesses-Ochi's, Tom Ochi had a little novelty store but as far as the business is concerned the three main businesses at that time were the Star Noodle, I mean Utah Bamboo and Kay Mukai's and the fish market on 24th. They had a few other dry good imports or like a Takahashi on Lincoln Avenue bout middle of the block. They had a few other Japanese imports, but prior to the war they used to be a boarding house on down where the Ketchum used to be on Wall Avenue where the mall went, I mean where they built the building down there. There were a few of the businesses there but there weren't that many business in Ogden in those days. LR: I was just curious about that and wondered how- DA: Well during the war there's quite a few Japanese relocated on the 25th street and they lived out of those Capital apartment there, Capital Avenue, and there was an apartment house where the Japanese lived there. A lot of them lived on electric alley in the different apartment houses there. AP: Did you cut any hair of the soldiers or the- 19 DA: Yeah, when they dropped in, yeah. AP: The military personnel who were at the DDO or anything like that? DA: No, I don't remember names. AP: Alright. LR: So is there anything else you'd like to add about 25th street or some of the memories you have about the street or anything like that. DA: I don't want to talk about it. AP: You mentioned you had a basement in your shop, but that the walls were- DA: It was solid wall, there wasn't no tunnel all the way from the Union Station to the Ben Lomond because each business had a solid wall in there. The only thing I saw down in the basement that I was renting from was an old still attic like they had back in the-made liquor there. There were those gallons with the cooper tubing pipes in there so it must have been a still down in there, I don't know. AP: That was there when you moved in? DA: Yeah it was there when I moved in and I just never bothered with it. It was spooky. All those basements are all real spooky because they used to unload freight. They used to have trap doors out on the sidewalk, metal trap doors before they refixed the 25th street sidewalk. All the freight was unloaded on the street, they had trap doors and then they had coal furnaces so they used to unload coal for the furnaces there for their coal stoves. So they used to put coal down in the basement there. LR: After the fire, did they rebuild that building or- DA: Just remodeled it. 20 LR: I thought they started fresh and just tore it down. DA: Oh, no, no. It's still there. The Colorado read rooms. Yeah I remember the fellow who started the fire. He was going to warm up, he started a fire by the sink there and it got out of hand. It burned down-he was sort of a weird gentleman anyway to begin with that started the fire. LR: So your business was never really affected then? DA: No. LR: You just kept going? DA: Kept going. Yeah I could smell the smoke though. AP: Probably for a long time afterward. DA: Yeah it was excitement down there. A lot of killings going on. AP: On the street? DA: One day I was sitting, talking to Max Booth out there on a day off, and this fellow came by the street, had a 22 with him. He walked next door and shot one of his friends there and walked out. We saw him go by, but didn't think anything of it. Right next door he'd committed a murder. They used to be a lot of murders at El Boracho. I'd come down in the mornings and the guy would be down there out washing the blood off the sidewalks. LR: That's interesting, Ed Simone said the exact same thing. I just find that fascinated, he mentioned that he'd wake up, come to work in the morning and they'd be spraying off the cement cause there had been a- DA: A stabbing LR: A stabbing or something like that the night before. Then they'd wipe it off. 21 DA: One of my customers, Gale Dunn, he made remarks about something about Black and somebody cut his throat from ear to ear. They thought he-they come down and told me he be DOA, dead on arrival but he survived and a week later he was out of the hospital down there. He wanted me to trim up his hair there. AP: At the hospital? DA: No he actually came out of the hospital. Fellows came down and said Gale Dunn is going to be DOA. They had to lay him down so his head wouldn't fall off he was cut so bad, and yet he survived it. LR: It's amazing that he survived it. DA: Yeah. LR: When did you think, or did the street ever change in that regard? Did it become less of a violent place? DA: When they started remodeling. Back in the, when was that? When did they start remodeling? About 1979, 1980. The street started to change they clamped down, but as far as the prostitution was concerned I think they closed that down about 1954 or 1955 at the end of Mac Wade's tenure. Rosy got picked up and served jail time. Instead of doing jail time she was being a maid out at sheriff Mac Wade's home. I think that's when the prostitution pretty much came to the end. But they closed them all up about, I think about 1954 or so. At that time there was what, six or seven houses of ill repute on the street? LR: Do you like the changes that have happened to 25th street? DA: Oh I think it's a lot different now. I go down there and I don't know anybody anymore. 22 LR: Well you closed down your shop about when the new shops were coming in. DA: Yeah the new shops came in in 1989. But it was a good street though even though they had a lot of violence. I have no regrets. AP: It seemed like there was a really good community down there. Everybody knew each other, everybody helped each other. DA: Yep. I have no regrets. LR: You mentioned the Red Caps before we were starting, you just were talking about them. DA: See there used to be two trains that went to Denver. One would leave Salt Lake City about 6:00 in the morning and come to Ogden, then pick up the Red Caps and they'd go to Denver. They'd arrive in Denver about 6:30 in the evening. Then there'd be another train leaving Denver about the same time coming back to Ogden cause when I was in Rock Springs I used to buy the Salt Lake Tribune and it would come about 10:30 into Rock Springs. In those days it was a nickel for the Salt Lake Tribune and I wanted the Utah news so I'd go down and buy, purchase a tribune every day when I was in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Rock Springs was just like Ogden. It was a tough street too, tough town. Just like Ogden, they had house of ill repute up and down the street wide open. AP: I think you've answered most of our questions unless you have any other stories you'd like to share with us today. LR: I've enjoyed your stories a lot. AP: Yeah they're fun. 23 DA: There was one of my clients that got stabbed by a colored fellow and he finally died. We ended up in the jury there as a hostile witness. Tom Purdue and I were called in as hostile witnesses because we didn't answer the defense attorney's questions-he pictured it a little bit different and we disagreed with him and I hung up on him. The next thing I knew I was served a subpoena to be a hostile witness. AP: Oh my DA: Some colored fellow had stuck a fellow in the eye and severed the optic nerve there and I was out elk hunting when it happened, on a Sunday afternoon. I was nowhere around when it happened in the Kokomo there. He got stabbed at the Kokomo there. LR: So he was the one who was stabbed with the ice pick? DA: A little pen knife I guess, I don't know. Old Virg Cooper was the fellow's name there that got killed. Because I knew him real well they thought I was hiding something and they called us in and we didn't. He was a gentleman as far as I was concerned. I liked the fellow and all that. I used to have a coke with him all the time at the drug store. So the drug store got called in to as a hostile witness. The attorney at that time, defending the colored fellow was an attorney by the name of Spooner and he put on quite a show. Dramatically he put on a real show. AP: Nothing ever big happened inside your shop though? People kept their business on the street? DA: Oh there used to be a few fights, but that was nothing new. 24 LR: You had to have a police presence in your shop then? DA: Oh all the time. LR: That probably helped. DA: I had FBI agents hanging around all the time. There used to be several agents, three or four FBI agents always hanging down there, sitting around. They used to make the remark, "we sit here long enough the criminal we're looking for will come by." LR: That's funny. It's probably true. DA: Yeah this FBI agent, he passed away earlier, but he used to tell some real stories when he was in the Deep South. In the south that's during the time they were integrating the people into the white folks, into the black, so the FBI was down there. They didn't call them FBI, they called the Federal Bureau of Integrators, but he used to tell some awful stories, boy real funny stories. AP: I believe it. We appreciate your time. We appreciate you letting us come over to your house and asking questions. LR: Absolutely, just fantastic. AP: We hope we've done okay not making you tell stories you didn't want to talk about. So thank you for letting us come in. DA: All the pimps were real arrogant people in Ogden. They had to be arrogant to be a pimp. We had the only gentleman out of the bunch was the fellow by the name of Morris. Morry Waldman he was really a gentleman as far as all the guys I knew. His father was a Rabbi in Denver and he ran a house of ill repute. AP: Oh my, from one end to the other huh? 25 DA: Yeah and there was Eddy Doherty, was really arrogant too, he was really arrogant. He had the Wyoming Rooms and then Pete Toconi had the Golden Rooms and he was an arrogant individual. But Bill Davies wasn't such a bad sort of the fellow. He was half and half wasn't he? His skin was real pale white, but his hair was a little on the kinky side so I figured that his father must have been white and his mother must have been black because my next door neighbor here she's a white woman and she was married to a black and her kids look predominantly black so it has to be the male that takes the predominance in the offspring. Isn't that the case? AP: I'm not sure. LR: I'm not sure. AP: Well thank you very much Mr. Aoki. Appreciate it. 26
