Project Rachel focuses on
post-abortion counseling
Church program to console Catholic women
EDITOR’S NOTE — The Roman Catholic Church,
fighting on the one hand to encourage legislation
against abortion, is beginning to offer a consoling hand
to those Catholic women who have had an abortion.
Project Rachel is that beginning.
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The 24-year-old woman
with a substance abuse problem came to Stephen Lynott
for help.
She was pregnant, alone and angry after being aban
doned by her boyfriend and thrown out of her parents’
home, recalls Lynott, director of Catholic Social Serv
ices for the Marquette Diocese.
While counseling the woman, Lynott found out she
had ended two earlier pregnancies. Part of her sub
stance abuse problem came from her effort to erase the
painful memory of the abortions.
Because of her abortions, Lynott says, the woman ex
pected condemnation from the Catholic Church. In
stead, she was surprised to find compassion.
It might have been condemnation before 1985, when
the diocese began a program to train counselors and
priests in how to help women who have had abortions.

Famous gate crasher
recalls good old days
of parties, big events
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Pinky
Ginsberg doesn’t get around much
anymore. The days of dining with
royalty, infiltrating big events and
thumbing his nose at officials are
gone.
“I don’t know who remembers me

anymore,” he says. “There was a
time when they all knew me, though.
There was a time when my name was
magic.”
The man who once walked into
Adolf Hitler’s office and asked for
an autograph, attended the coro
nation of King George VI, crashed
37 World Series, 12 presidential in
augurations, eight Olympics and
many other events is a little short of
magic these days.
Hyman Ginsberg, 84, who bills
himself as the world’s greatest gate
crasher, now spends his. days in a
tiny apartment on the edge of the
French Quarter.
An old man’s gait has slowed his
travels. So has an old man’s bankroll.
“Social Security. It’s enough to
keep you from starving, but not by
much,” he says. “I get $400 a month
and that doesn’t go far. In my time I
made and lost $15 million. I spent
$100,000 on a little redhead so quick
you wouldn’t believe it.
“In those days it came easy and it
went easy. I was a bookie. I owned
several nightclubs in the French
Quarter. Chez Paris on Bourbon
Street, that was mine. I owned a
place called Punch and Judy’s, an
other one next to Arnaud’s Restau
rant.”
His thin fingers thumb through
his scrapbook, fondling the clippings
that yellow there. Clippings in
French, Spanish, German, English,
along with letters and photographs
fill the book and testify to his many
adventures.
The legend on the front of the
book reads: “Album of Fantasy, Al
