deregulation of small business,

I would also like to invite those
young writers to come see a performance
of the play that I am
performing in with the N.C.

is the Athol Fugard play,

am sure they will find it quite
enlightening and most entertaining.

The bishops are correct to find
a "scandal" in the large number
of Americans who now live in
poverty. In their draft letter, they
call for "improvements in the
quality of education forpoor .....
children and improved child care
service," among the dozens of
other recommendations.
Many parts of the bishops'
draft agenda, such as the
redistribution of wealth and
reduction of the unemployment
rate (now 7.3 percent) to three to
four percent, are stirring tremendous
controversy. This is all to
the good. As Rep. Timothy
Wirth (D-Colo.) has observed,
"The debate about the poor in

Regardless of our individual
reactions to each part of this
complex proposal, it is about
time that the national debate over
poverty and its consequences is
being framed exactly as it should
be: As a moral and religious
issue, not just a matter of dollars
and cents. <*

"Democratic white voters and
politicians abandoned their black
constituencies," said a UPI
report. By a ratio of 2 to 1, whites
went for Reagan. Citing a oneseat
loss in Congress, The
Washington Post said that blacks
"openly questioned whether, increased
black voter activity
helped drive Southern whites
away from the Democratic
Party."

Deregulation of small business
means almost nothing to black
America; we simply are not a part
of business. No finance, no
romance! Sub-minimum wages
are what we are receiving now
whenever we are employed barely
