But out of the billowing ashes of deceit and despair, one man has, for the moment, risen to the top. He has pushed aside all the negatives, overcome thedoubteis and reclaimed his position at the top of the swimming world. Now for all the world to see, beaming from the gold medal stand, is American swimmer Pablo Morales. Morales, a silver medalist in 1984, never had his Olympic fire extinguished by his setbacks, which included not making the 1988 team. He entered law setwj at Cornell but his passions burned. But one memory drove him to a return to the pool. The memory of his departed mother. While accepting his medal, only one thought passed through his mind —he wished his mi mother, Blanca, could be stand up there accepting his piece of gold for him. NBC built up Morales' return to a fever pitch. The hype was set in motion after his victory back in Marchat the Olympic Trials. His father, Pablo Morales Sr., was shown clutching a picture of his dearly departed wife, Blanca. The network promoted his comeback with numerous commercials and promos. He dubbed "One to watch in Barcelona." Before the race gc underway, there was even a video dedicated to Morales was almost too extreme, especial if Pablo had not won his event, 100-meter butterfly. His mother died last year ani Pablo Jr. still gets a pained expression in his eyes and a look on his face. He has notcoi to terms mentally with her death but to his credit he used her untimely passage as an inspiration. After his victory Monday the NBC cameras panned the audience and found Pablo's father. For once, the overabusei shot of showing family members in the stands was justifiable and poetic moment for the ages. Scholar Continued From Page 2 eating dialogue with them to establish Da'awa (an invitation to the call of Islam us ing dialogue of reason)." Nofel began the lecture discussing the cur rent trend of many Muslims in the world to day. "As Muslims we should fight our current fear about- our lives," Nofel said. "We should be more concerned about the preservation of Islam then self-preservation." Nofel gave examples of Islamic movements and the problems they are facing throughout the world. He began by explaining how Muslims view politics in their lives. "Unfortunately, many Muslims believe that such discussions about Islamic move ments bring about nationalistic feelings and therefore should be avoided," Nofel said. "We have to talk about political issues, it's like trying to avoid discussing the basic be liefs of Islam." In his explanation of why Muslims think this way, Nofel explained that historically af ter the colonial period, Muslim countries adopted a secular ideology. A belief that politics and Islam should be separate. "The Muslim Ummah (all the Muslims of the world that span the beginning of time to this day) are quiet about their governments, because they are not happy," Nofel said, "but oppressed by their governments." Over 15 million Muslims have been dis placed from their homes and nine out of refugees in the world are Muslim, said Nofel, "Many are suffering, but their fellow lims do not give them sanctuary," Nofel said Nofel actually saw the plight of Filipino Mus lims when he visited the Philippines. "Muslims are being physically removeC from their lands,and placed in wooden hous es on the sea," Nofel said.

HOUSTON (AP) - The streets are being scrubbed, the welcoming parties are planned and the Houston Astros have been sent packing on a long road trip to leave the Astrodome vacant. Houston is getting ready for the Republicans, and the city hasn't tried so hard to look so good since President Bush brought the leaders of the western nations to his "hometown'' for the July 1990 Economic Summit. "The dominant thing in Houston has always been image," Rice University sociologist Stephen Klineberg says, explaining why civic leaders seemed beset with making Houston shine in the limelight. "The way the rest of the nation perceives Houston has always been an important dynamic in the business elite's view." While civic pride may be one factor, money certainly is another. The economic impact of the Aug. 17-20 convention is estimated between $60 million and $100 million, and every city leader knows good publicity can priceless. Now that this once rich metropolis no longer can depend solely on the falterinj energy industry, Houston see® intent on luring more tourists as part of its attempts to diversify thf economy. And the GOf convention could be just tii( ticket. s sue quipment ren pectors entc U.N. expert ministry conta raq's chemica md ballistic w he charge. The inforn :ace Tension Headache?
