Reports of viewers being offended by the video and of charges that it is Satanic in content have caused Jackson to block further distribution of the video, which sells for $29.95.

Jesse Jackson's presidential bid, predicts that blacks will soon "settle the score" with whites in race wars within two years, the Chicago Tribune reported this week. In a tape obtained by the Chicago paper, Farrakhan told an audience, "I don't have evil in my heart, but I do know if I'm allowed to continue to do what God ... has put in my heart, we'll have the most awesome war machine that the earth has ever seen. "We're going to shake the world," he said. rakhan told his followers, "We were born to settle the score. Some of the whites are going to live; maybe a few, * quite a few.

How can an essentially emotional state be helped with medicine? Is her doctor just giving her something to make her think her depression is being relieved? D.O. 4 A: Your friend's doctor is not playing games. Doctors do use anti-depressant drugs in treating depression, and those drugs have proven highly effective, says Dr. J. Ingram Walker, assistant professor of psychiatry at Duke University in Durham. What an anti-depressant medication does is increase the chemicals in the brain needed to eliminate symptoms of depression. In addition to medication, psychotherapy can help victims of depression learn how to deal with situations that bring on depression. A treatment many depressed people overlook is thinking positive thoughts and doing positive things, says Walker, who estimates that 5 to 7 percent of the popula* I Someone You I BShould Meet ...I ?'> '*" !/ -W' mmt* Someone You Should Meet...

On two occasions, he said, nooses were hung in the plant, one with a note containing a racial slur.

The white employee was not disciplined. Citchen was demoted and fired in 1976. ; sales of 'Thriller' Witness, has promisedt not to do anything similar again. "I would never do anything like that again because a loCQf people were offended by it," said Jacksoft. "That makes me feel bad. I don't want them to feel that way. I realize now that it wasn't a good idea. I'll never do a video like that again." Jackson's album, 44Thriller," which inspired the video, has earned him more than $66 million in worldwide royalties, 67 gold record awards and 58 platinum record awards in 28 countries. The single 44Thriller" from the album has sold nine million copies and garnered Jackson 15 awards. "There's all kinds of promotional stuff being proposed on 'Thriller,'" said Jackson.

I don't want to do anything on 'Thriller.* No more 'Thriller '" ce war within two years doesn't want us mixing ourselves up with the slavemasters' children whose time has arrived." The speech is the same in which Farrakhan was charged with threatening the life of Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman, who revealed that Jackson referred to Jews as "Hynjies." He also called Adolf Hitler a "very great man," which, along with the Coleman remarks, prompted many Democrats to urge Jackson to disavow Farrakhan's support.
