Operation
challenges,
By NANCY ATKINSON
Staff Writer
Centuries ago, men such as Sir Walter
Raleigh ventured onto the ocean in
search of exotic lands, thieving pirates
and rare spices for their sovereign
leaders. In this second Elizabethan age,
when spices come from the corner
grocer, and pirates and exotic lands are
only a television set away, the world
seems very tame.
However, young people still can have
many adventures through Operation
Raleigh, a four-year multinational
seagoing expedition commemorating
the explorations of Sir Walter Raleigh.
Be it diving for 'shipwrecks in the
Caribbean, searching for the lost city
of Cuidad Blanca or aiding Peruvian
Indians with medical supplies, the 4,000
participants, aged 17 to 24, will meet
many challenges in 16 three-month
phases of scientific, community, service
and conservation projects.
Patron Prince Charles said the
expedition would provide "young
people with a uniqueopportunity to
seek challenges, develop their skills and
learn to overcome what may seem, like
impossible problems." He appeared on
"2020" Dec. 6 to publicize'the under
taking, and Mark Berisen, director 6f
operations at the Raleigh headquarters
of the program, appeared on "Good
Morning, America."
Venturers will come from several
countries. There will be 1,500 from the
United States and 1 ,500 from the United
Kingdom. Twenty percent will be
underprivileged, and I percent will be
physically handicapped.

Raleigh offers travel,
to those who qualify
"Apart from the adventure and the
high degree of international under
standing that it promotes, there are a
great many more tangible benefits for
mankind," said the Hon. Walter H.
Annenberg, KBE, honorary president
of Operation Raleigh. "Not least is the
way in which it broadens the outlook
and horizons of so many of our
country's future leaders."
The expedition is similar to the Peace
Corps and Outward Bound in its
emphasis on science and service, but it
also is a youth leadership development
project, said Anne Smith, N.C. chair
man of Operation Raleigh.
Venturers must be physically fit,
speak English, be able to swim 500 yards
and have compatible personalities.
Interviews and a rigorous "selection
weekend" follow the written application
to test initiative and compatibility.
"The type of people that apply are
going to be qualified," said Sue Frankel,
a selected venturer. The UNC senior
from Kensington, Maryland, said the
main focus of the selection weekend was
to see how the applicants reacted to
stressful situations.
' Frankel is interested in scuba diving
in Peru in Phase III or Phase IV. She
is not sure yet in which phase she will
participate, but said, "We will get
together with the Operation Raleigh
people and get something figured out
with our schedules and our needs and
their schedules and their needs."
The program's first phase began last
November and will end Jan. 16. Tar

ing in that phase. About 100 North
Carolinians are expected to join.
The cost of sponsorship for one
venturer is $5,500, which will be raised
through contributions from corpora
tions, foundations and individuals.
Operation Raleigh is a registered charity
in Great Britain and has tax exempt
status in the United States, Australia,
Canada and Hong Kong.
"Our participation is not contingent
on us being able to raise the money,"
Frankel said. "Operation Raleigh raises
most of the money, and we can go out
with a staff member to businesses."
Grainger, for example, found Twinings
Tea Company to sponsor her
expedition.
Frankel looks forward to developing
practical and survival skills on her
voyage.
"The thing about Operation Raleigh
is to know you're having an adventure
and are providing a service at the same
time," she added. "I would encourage
anyone with an interest to try to get
involved."
People interested in applying for or
helping to sponsor the voyage may write
to Operation Raleigh USA, 109 E.
Jones Street, Raleigh, NC 27611, or
may call 733-9366.

'Brother even the director
Morton's performance is "gloriously
innocent." Not a single word passes his
lips, not even a laugh or a growl.
Morton conveys bewilderment through
a twitch in his brow or an open mouth,
and he does it subtly and beautifully.
Morton's face has the kind of window
expressivity that went out with silent
films, making his performance all the
more astonishing. His body movements
also perfectly capture his character's .
awkwardness without hindering the
joke of having an alien respond to all
that is familiar to our culture.
Not to discredit Sayles, however,
there are a number of inventive touches
to The Brother From Another Planet.
The Brother crash-landing his spaceship
on Ellis Island is one of the director's
many deft strokes. And the scene where
the Brother first walks down 125th
Street in Harlem is full of so many
sounds, colors, dialects and languages
that even a seasoned New Yorker can
empathize with the Brother's
bewilderment.
Morton is such a dynamic performer,
though, that Sayles'direction eventually
becomes pretentious and even tiresome.
Sayles prevents the audience from
soaking up all the glories of Morton's
performance, instead opting for a

moralistic plot development involving
a child who dies from a heroin overdose.
The child's death, while certainly a
tragic and shocking image for human
and alien alike, is a questionable
motivation for the Brother to track
down the killer. At this point, Sayles
yanks the spotlight away from Morton
and starts to pontificate.
The black alien's quest leads him to
a rich and very white office firm that
supplies heroin to blacks in order to
"solve cash-flow problems," as an
executive puts it. What is bothersome
about the implicit message in this scene
is that Sayles, a white person, tries to
speak on the black experience, and he
comes across as very white. Using drug
trafficking as a metaphor for black
oppression is a gross trivialization.
For the most part, however, The
Brother From Another Planet is sheer
joy as entertainment. Morton's perfor
mance is both hilarious and touching,
and until the drug subplot intrudes,
Sayles does an excellent job of sustain
ing a light-hearted yet firm touch. The
individual characters who meet the
Brother and see different facets of
themselves and their ethnicity make a
social statement far superior to the later
plot contrivance.
