LIFE. LIBERTY. AND THE
PURSUIT OF...DENTISTRY?
It's no joke.
Changes in some employee benefit programs
could cost you your freedom of choice in dental
care.
Imagine no longer being able to choose your
own dentist. Or being told where you must go for
any special care you might need. Now imagine
someone else making those decisions for your
family as well as for you.
Quite a change from the freedoms most of us
enjoy today.
Yet such restrictions are typical of a new breed of
alternative dental plan popping up around the
country.
These programs go by different names and
impose different limits. But they all share one thing
in common: the focus is on money, not health.
Remember this: No plan that restricts your family's
access to the dental care they need is likely to be
in your best interest.
Something to consider before you surrender your
freedom of choice.

Reagan says U.S. should
risk trusting Gorbachev
LONDON (AP) — Ronald Reagan said Tuesday that
Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev is possibly his
country’s only hope for change, and “we should take
the risk” of believing he is serious about arms control.
Of China, the former president said, “The Chinese
government hasn’t learned something very elementary:
you can’t massacre an idea. You cannot run tanks over
hope.”
Reagan was addressing The English Speaking Union
I believe we should take the risk that
the Soviets are serious in their efforts to
reach genuine arms reductions with the
West.”
— Ronald Reagan
in the Guildhall, the 1,000-year-old seat of London city
government, where he spoke as president 13 months
ago and where Gorbachev gave a speech in April.
Reagan, on his first visit to Britain since leaving the
White House, mixed jokes and reminiscences with a
sweeping vision of a world where “The Goliath of totali
tarian control will rapidly be brought down by the Da
vid of the microchip.”
“I believe Mikhail Gorbachev realizes these things,”
said Reagan.
“It is true that the West could stand pat while thisis
happening. We are not the ones who must change. Itis
not our people who’re isolated from the information
that allows them to be creative and productive,” he said
“But it is exactly when you are strong and comfort
able that you should take risks.”
He said, “ I believe we should take the risk that the
Soviets are serious in their efforts to reach genuine
arms reductions with the West. I support President
Bush’s proposal to keep pressure on the Soviets to male
good on their calls to reduce arms.”
“The biggest of Big Brothers is increasingly helpless
against communications technology,” he said.
“Information is the oxygen of the modern age.... It
seeps through the walls topped with barbed wire.lt
wafts across the electrified booby-trapped borders.
Breezes of electronic beams blow through the Iron Cur
tain as if it was lace.”
He said that as long as the Soviets restricted the flott
by such measures as banning the unauthorized used
photocopiers, the West should go on refusing to sell the
Soviets modern computers.
“Amazing things are afoot in the world this spring,"
he said.
Poland had held its first semi-free election in li
years; Hungary was moving to multiparty democraq,
and Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov gat in Parliament,

U.S.S.R., West Germany join
to ‘heal wounds’ from division
BONN, West Germany (AP) —So
viet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev
and West German Chancellor Hel
mut Kohl endorsed a joint strategy
Tuesday to “heal the wounds” of Eu
ropean division, which their nations
helped inflict half a century ago.
They assured the world their
partnership poses no threat this
time, as it did when Adolf Hitler and
Josef Stalin divided Poland in their
1939 non-aggression pact.
Both nations want “a common Eu
ropean home in which the United
States and Canada have their place”
and all nations exist in “peaceful
competition with one another,” the
joint declaration says.

banners with greetings in Russian,
welcomed Gorbachev and his wife,

when he ventured into the crowd to
shake hands, as he so often does on
visits abroad.

At a state banquet at Augustus

“Our cooperation can serve as acat-

WASHINGTON (AP) — The na
tion’s beleaguered savings institu
tions lost $3.4 billion in the first
three months of this year, in sharp
contrast with commercial banks
which enjoyed record profits of $7.3
billion, the government reported
Tuesday.
As in the past, Texas S&Ls, suf
fering from a depressed regional
economy, contributed the bulk of
the savings industry’s losses. Texas
thrifts lost $2.2 billion, although that
was a 38 percent improvement over
the same period in 1988.
Seventy-three percent of S&Ls na
tionally earned a profit — $1.3 bil
lion. But that was swamped by $4.7
billion in losses at the 27 percent that

from $6.7 billion in the final three
months of last year.
The bank board revised its pre
viously reported S&L loss total for
all of last year, adding $900 million
to bring 1988 red ink to a post-De-
pression record of $13 billion.

of the bank board, said heavy Ski-

Fire extinguished
on Soviet oil rig
after 3 weeks
MOSCOW (AP) — Authorities
used water cannons to extinguish a
fire that blazed for three weeks on
an offshore oil and gas platform in
the Caspian Sea, Tass reported
Tuesday.
The fire began May 26 and af
fected six wells on a platform 86
miles off Baku, the capital of the re
public of Azerbaijan, the official
news agency said.
The entire firefighting fleet of
Azerbaijan converged on the plat
form with portable and stationary
water cannons to unleash the jet of
water that experts said was needed
to put out the fire, according to
Tass. Earlier efforts using water and
foam had failed, it added.
The Soviet Union’s top experts
were called into to help douse the
fire, and U.S. firefighters also pro
vided assistance, the news agency
said.
The cause of the fire has not been
determined, Tass said.
The Soviet Union is the w'orld’s
largest oil producer and Azerbaijan,
1,200 miles southeast of Moscow, is
the country’s fourth-largest oil pro
ducing region.
