Underneath
Manhattan

JC youths attend National
Cross-Cultural Confab

By CHRIS KOMA
NEW YORK. — The chilling updraft
forced the crowd back from the edge
of the observation deck at the Empire
State Building. The night lay heavily
on the city, uplifted by a few glowing
towers, like the nearby Chrysler Buil­
ding or the Time-Life edifice. One
can from* this vantage point see the
edges of'Manhattan Island, from Sea­
port Village to the south and both the
East and Hudson Rivers and finally
up/beyond Central Park into the
Bronx.
Below the 86th floor of Empire
State • Building resided a mass of
superlatives: Macy's, the World's
Biggest Department Store; or Barnes
& Noble, the World's Biggest Book­
store; and at least three places nam­
ed Ray's that served World's Best
Pizza. In Manhattan alone, the
World's Best Bagel could be had in
four different neighborhoods.
One cannont meet and know New
York City in a short.time, just as one
cannot meet and know a complicated,
multi-faceted person in a week or a
month or longer. But, character traits
can be noted and understood, and
just like meeting someone known on­
ly by reputation, misperceptions can
be cleared up by first-hand contact.
“People here aren't cold,” observ­
ed a woman newspaper writer, per­
haps 50, who contentedly cut up her
open-faced chili burger and munched
on french fries in a Miss Brooks cof­
fee shop a block south of the Plaza
Hotel. “They're indifferent. • There
are too many things happening here
to get involved.”
But, she pointed out, underneath
people are friendly and helpful.
She smiled and pointed out the
owner of the Miss Brooks, a small,
hard-looking woman named Sandy.
“She's famous.”
The first day in such a city as this,
the coarseness and rudeness of
Manhattan can smack one in the
face, like meeting a grumpy relative
for the first time. But, the softness
began to shine through with familarity and one realized that a lot of the,
apparent meanness is just facade,
like on all the old buildings in Soho
or Greenich Village.
The constant honking of horns by
the motorists fighting the army of
jaywalkers through the grid-like
jungle can be alarming at first, but
soon, one found oneself trampling
through red lights just like the natives
and shrugging off any. automotive
* noise. Pedestrians walk with such
fervor and pace, as if each were
double-parked somewhere (and they
might be).
The subways, most of them scarred
up by graffiti and age and carrying
the grime of a million trips from here
to Brooklyn, Queens, Yonkers ano
the Bronx, can suck the life out of a
person. During rush hour, human be­
ings are subject to sardine-like ac­
commodations, body pressed against
sweaty body. In the late evenings,
one can sit with fear, wondering if
the purse snatchers and the muggers
wait for them at the next stop.
But, with a bit of caution, travers­
ing New York is not so dangerous
and can be done with such ease with­
out a car. Armed with a subway map
marking all the transfer stations, it

Jpnz. garden photos
slashed by vandals
EDMONTON. — Five pictures, part of an international
display of 50 Japanese gar­
den photographs, The Japan­
ese Garden, at the Muttart
Conservatory in Edmonton,
have been slashed by a vandal.
Conservatory supervisor
John Heider said the damage,
which could total $3,000 if the
photographs cannot be re­

“It's believed someone us­
ed a razor,” police information

And, there was so much to see.

skyscrapers, the thousands of rest­
aurants, the street singers and
bands, the beggers and hustlers, the
men and women with briefcases who
overflow the bars and the entertain­
ment areas after work, the people
here were underneath the same as in
Iowa or Colorado or California. There
were good people and bad, polite and
rude, funny and seious, ambitious
and lazy.
In asking for directions, so many
people went out of their way to help.
One woman gave a set of guidelines
to get to the George Washington
Bridge, then thought it.over and set
up a more expedient route. A police­
man stopped and walked two out-oftowners to the subway, describing
which train to catch and where to
transfer.
The outstanding example had to
be in Queens on a bus motoring to
the subway station. A blind couple
slowly found their way oh board.
They got off at their stop a few miles
down the road and the bus driver
began to pull away. Suddenly, he
stopped. He got up and walked back
to the couple, who were apparently
lost, going the wrong direction. He
patiently took them across the next
street and sent them accurately on
their way.
Upon his return after this unsche­
duled wait, the bus driver was greeted
with applause.

It was as if one had been transported
to Hong Kong. The stores sold their
merchandise right on the sidewalks,
the live crabs (a dozen for $3 some
places) and lobsters crawling about
with their claws pinned by rubber
bands.
The theaters for Broadway and offBroadway plays litter the streets
around Times Square, not to mention
the movie houses of current and
X-rated shows.

Japanese restaurants were few
and far between. Some were forged
with Korean outlets. One was FrenchJapanese. The sushi bars tended to
do a thin business. One place was
barren of customers. Another had on­

someone squinted through the win­
dow for a better look.

Japanese doctor says Vitamin C
is effective in controlling cancer
TOKYO. — Vitamin C is ca­
pable of controlling a muta­
genic function of carcinogen­
ic substances, according to
the results of research by a
professor of genetics in cen­
tral Japan.
Prof. Yukiaki Kuroda of the
National Institute of Genetics
conducted a series of experi­
ments on culture cells taken
from the lung of a Chinese
hamster.
The culture, dubbed V79,
was used to examine the mu­
tagen-controlled function of
Vitamin C.
The vitamin and ethyl me­
thane sulfonate (EMS), a mu­
tagenic cancer-causing sub­
stance, were administered in
various concentrations to the
V79 culture in order to exa­
mine mutations to the cells'
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
When 0.0001 grams of EMS
was administered to the 1
-millimeter culture solution,
the mutagenicity ratio was
about 9 cells per 10,000.
But when 0.0001 grams of
Vitamin C was added with an
equal amount of EMS, howev­
er, the mutagenicity ration
decreased by one-fourth to
2.5 cells in 10,000.

If the concentrations of vi­
tamin C and EMS were alter­
ed, a similar result was
achieved. Prof. Kuroda con­
cluded vitamin C had a direct
effect on the mutagenic fac­
tor in EMS.
Another experiment tested
the toxicity of EMS. The semiletha density of EMS was
about 0.0005 grams, per 1
milliliter of culture solution
but was increased to about
0.0009 grams when 0.0001
grams of vitamin C was added
to the same amount of solu­
tion.
In other words, the toxicity
of the substance was nearly
halved.
Prof. Kuroda said the ex­
periments suggest that vi­
tamin C destroys a part of
EMS or the mutagenic func­
tion of EMS is controlled or
that vitamin C is capable of
restoring DNA broken down
by EMS. He said the vitamin
would have similar effects on
other cancer-causing sub­
stances.
The scientist will present
his findings at a meeting of
the Environmental Mutagen
Society of Japan to be held in
Akita.

Booked
solid
By DELPHINE HIRASUNA
After my dental chcedkup today,
the receptionist asked, “Do you want
to make an appointment for your
next six months' checkup?”
I stared at her, not comprehending
at first. “Uh, you mean, uh ...” I
counted up the months on my fin­
gers. “You mean February?”
“Yes. We can schedule it now, so
you don't have to worry about it.”
I hesitated and finally agreed. My
next appointment is February 25,
1986, at 8:20 a.m. All day the com­
mitment gnawed me. How should I
know what I'll want to be doing on
February 25 at 8:20 a.m. Maybe I'll
have an important client meeting.
Maybe I'll have a rush project due
by 8:26 a.m. Maybe I would have suc­
cumbed to a rare gum disease and
lost all my teeth. Then again, maybe
I just wouldn't feel like ruining a
perfectly wonderful February day
with a visit to the dentist.
At any rate, agreeing to a meeting
six months hence made me feel ner­
vous. But more and more I' m asked
to commit my time weeks, often
months, in advance. Prospective
clients call me and ask, “Can you
come in at 3:15 on Sept. 18.”
What can I say? “I'm not sure. Let
me see what kind of mood I'm in
when I wake up that day.” No way.
Every morning now I have to check
my calendar to see where I'm sup­
posed to be. I hate it. It's worst
than being on a packaged vacation
tour. — 7 cities in 7 days and 8
nights.
The side of me that wants to “hang
loose” resents being locked into
events weeks in advance. I feel like a
robot programmed to appear at var­
ious places at specific times. I don't
understand this hangup in myself,
because actually I am rather com­
pulsive about planning my time. I
draft daily schedules, weekly sche­
dules, monthly schedules. I like to
know how my day is shaping up, so I
can allot my time accordingly.
But these distant appointments,
though sometimes necessary, unset­
tle me, especially when I check my
pocket calendar and discover that
October is nearly fully booked and
November has four solid commit­
ments. I feel like my life isn't my
own. All spontaniety is gone. When I
look at these far-off appointments, a
little voice inside me asks meekly,
“What if I don't feel like having my
teeth cleaned on February 25, 1986?
What if I don't want to be in Portland
on Oct. 23? Can I throw a tantrum
and refuse to show up?

TOKYO. — In a move aim­
ed at establishing the national
flag and the semi-official
“Kimigayo” anthem as an in­
tegral part of school ceremo­
nies, Ministry of Education
officials announced they
have issued instructions to
education heads at metropo­
litan and prefectural levels
nationwide calling for full
cooperation.

ANNUITIES & R.R.l.F.'s

Although a similar survey
with comparative results was
conducted five years ago, ob­
servers said that the Educa­
tion Ministry has been laying
a political foundation since
that time in order to establish
a concrete policy on the flag
and anthem issue.
During the past few years
regional members of the rul­
ing Liberal Democratic Party
have introduced repeated bills
calling for compulsory flagraising and anthem-singing
during school ceremonies in
prefectural assemblies.

The Okinawa Teachers'
Union blasted the Education
Ministry guideline, saying

While the Rising Sun flag
has served as the nation's
banner since 1870, the “Kimigayo” (“His Majesty's
Reign”) has not been officially
designated as Japan's anthem.
Moreover, government re­
gulation officially designa­
ting the flag and the
Kimigayo as the nation's of­
ficial banner and anthem
does not exist.
As indicated by survey re­
sults, the most active oppon­
ents are located in Okinawa,
the southern island chain
which found itself defending
the main island of Japan in
the last battles of World War
