(AP) — He golfed; boy did he golf. He ate out and played the saxophone and sang with a rock band and read and shopped and boated and bicycled and squeezed in a few hours of work. What did President Clinton get out of all this vacation activity? Rest and re- evaluation. “He had time to spend with his family. Re lax. Slow down,” White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers said Tuesday. “He found it helpful to leave the workaday world of Washington and get away in order to rest and gain some perspective.” A 12-day vacation on chic Martha’s Vineyard was sched uled to end Wednesday for the president and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. Their teen-age daughter, Chelsea, left with a girl friend a few days early to get ready for school. The president came to this island retreat frustrated and drained by a summer of discon tent. Whitewater hearings fur ther eroded his administra tion’s credibility and the fight for a crime bill imperiled health care reform. When he stepped off the Air Force plane into a cool, ocean breeze and an adoring crowd of tourists and island residents, Clinton’s first order of business was clear: Relax. He jumped head first into the vacation. He rose early the first day to play golf, then jogged and spent the evening at a dinner party. It set a pattern of dawn- through-dark fun with family and rich-or-famous friends. He golfed seven of the first 11 days, trying without success to break 80. Washington lobbyist Vernon Jordan was part of his foursome each time. Mrs. Clin ton joined him once, for a cold, rainy Labor Day round. Chelsea and the first lady played minia ture golf with Clinton one night. He jogged at least three times outside the 25-acre estate the family borrowed for the trip. He ate out, either at a restau rant or private residence, at least six of the first 11 days. That does not include the party he threw for the press, high lighted by his saxophone jam session and off-key duets with singer Carly Simon. Mrs. Clinton stayed out of the public eye much of the time, al though she did bicycle and shop with the family. Chelsea rode a horse and sailed on the estate, quietly slipping out for dinner with her friend. Clinton attended church twice and went to a Rosh Hashana service. Afterward, he had dinner in a trendy French restaurant with celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz. “He kept saying, ‘Greater : Wonderful day. Great vacation] Dershowitz said. But it wasn’t all play fortll i president. He also took time:-: think about the mistakes of::: j past year and look forward to': s year ahead in what Myers calk- “a process of evaluating himself The process worked in 1983 He left Martha's Vineyard*' gized last year, more confife , of passing the trade bill betwe: Mexico, Canada and the Unik States. It was approved afo weeks later. Clinton’s first post-vacatir speeches last year were laceli with references to community vai: ues and the role of religionit public life, and his first public a: pearance last fall was a prayei breakfast with religious leaders. Look for the same theme tbs year. His first post-vacation ap pearance will be a meeting wilt religious leaders Thursday mom! ing. He will address community values in a speech to a Baptist group Friday in New Orleans. ! Clinton didn’t entirely net work off his mind. He welcomed Ireland’s deputy prime ministef to his retreat and discusseda| cease-fire in Northern Ireland!

Hispanics are less visible in prime time than they were in the 1950s, the Center for Media and Public Affairs says in a report commissioned by a national Hispanic advocacy group. Latinos comprised 1 percent of all characters portrayed during the 1992 television season. Blacks accounted for 17 percent of all television characters, the analysis said. “Black groups sometimes complain their por trayal is window-dressing,” said the center’s co-di- rector and one of the study’s authors, Robert Lichter. “Hispanics don’t even have window-dress ing. There’s nothing there for them.” The study was to be presented at a news confer ence Wednesday by Lichter and the National Council of La Raza, a civil rights group represent ing more than 100 Hispanic community organiza tions. The council commissioned the report and in recent months has criticized both entertainment and news media for their portrayal of Hispanics. The center concluded that Hispanics have been cast in negative roles proportionately more than both blacks and Anglo-Americans. A breakdown of characters from 1992 found that 16 percent of the Hispanic characters com mitted crimes, compared to 4 percent each for blacks and Anglo-Americans. Hispanics were portrayed negatively 18 percent of the time, com pared to 8 percent for Anglo-Americans and 6 percent for blacks. Minorities remain more likely to be portrayed as working-class or poor, the study also found. It 1992, 28 percent of Hispanic characters were de picted as poor, compared to 24 percent of black; and 18 percent of whites. La Raza is seeking to emulate the successes that black civil-rights organizations have had it 1 demanding more representation on television, said; spokeswoman Lisa Navarette. In addition to further study, Ms. Navarette , said her organization will seek meetings with! the networks. “There is no question that bigotry or racism certainly plays a role in this, but I think it has more to do with ignorance,” she said, when asked! to explain the lack of Hispanic representation oa television. “Hollywood, like Washington, is a very insular community. They don’t know our community. We are not in the loop in Hollywood.” The study found that ABC had the least repre' sentation of Hispanics in 1992, with less than 1 percent of all characters portrayed by Latinos. ABC spokeswoman Janice Gretemeyer said it was network policy not to comment on studies it hasn’t seen. She declined to discuss in general the network’s treatment of Hispanics. Fox was first, with 2.7 percent of its characters portrayed by Hispanics; while CBS and NBC tied at 2.5 percent. j Fox had the highest number of Latinos depicted in negative or criminal roles — 38 percent — the study found. Spokesman Richard Licata didn’t im mediately return a call seeking comment. NBC was second, at 26 percent; followed by ! ABC, 25 percent; and CBS, 17 percent.
