Nation sho st oprofilesg preservation, destruction DVAUdI'eV Ogawa We live in a world where one can see two sides at once. on one side life being pre- served through medicine and on the other life being threatened by it. With a push of a button or a few more, if l may say, we can destroy our- selves but yet we go on, prov- ing that we have more depth than that which is given to our credit. ThiS year has been like twine, interlaced with com- ings, goings and compromises. cyanide laced Extra-strength Tylenol capsules terrorized Americans as the deadly drug claimed victims throughout the nation. Building its reputation on being a safe aspirin substitute that would not cause upset stomachs, Johnson and John- son recalled over 200,000 bot- tles of the suspected tam- pered drug. People can kill but they can also preserve life. Dr. Robert K. Jarvick, from the University of Utah, invented the artificial heart. He and a troop of 'la surgeons, cardiologists, nurses, and technicians im- planted the world's first man- made heart into Barney Clark, a 61-year-old retired dentist from Seattle. While these people were getting a new hope for life, the elderly were trying to get a longer lease on theirs. social Security, representing the united States government's single biggest commitment to its citizens, found that it was losing 520,000 every min- ute of the day. lh order to prevent a total Wipe-Out of this system, many reCOmmehdatiOrIS were put before COhQreSS for debate. Many of them based Oh ah ih- crease of taxes. This obviously could hOt sustain the system forever. The SehiOI' citizens were provided fOrj however, the Dig C1UeStiOrl remains is Whether the country Cah DI O- vide for them ih the future. SehiOrS citizens united to have SOme hold Oh their fU- tUreS, the AmeriCah ASSOCia- tion of Retired PerSOhS, the NatiOhai Council of Senior Citi- ZehS, SaVe OUr SeCUritV and the Gray Panthers all jOihed forces to keep a watchful eye Oh COhQreSS. That may not have created ah ahSWer, Dtlt it did C1UiCKeh the pace. Like a machine, the QOVerrP meht heeded all its parts ih- taCt ih order to rUh effiCieht- ly. Therefore, ih order to get SOCial Security back Oh its legs, LlhemDiOVmeht had to Q0 down. RiSirlQ to 10.1 DerCeht ih September, itS hiQhteSt level ih 42 years, over 11 million AmeriCahS were SearChihQ the classifieds. TeChhOlOQY Seem- ed to be the culprit. Compu- ters Were' slowly taking the IODS of the laborers. Uhtil we Cah re-edUCate the old WOrK force, UhemDiOVmeht COUld flOUriSh aCCOrdihQ to SOme economists.
