If anyone can start an
international incident, it is
Charles.
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.

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.
