Farrakhan on Race, Politics and the News Media
Date: 17 April 1984
On the Record From remarks made March 11 by Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, a Black Muslim sect, in a radio broadcast. The references to Milton Coleman and Hitler stirred controversies that are still plaguing the Rev. Jesse Jackson, whom Mr. Farrakhan supports. Our leaders are maligned and falsely accused by those in this society who hate to see strong black men exercising a leadership over our poor people. So we have today a Michael Jackson who is winning all kinds of awards because he is a great and marvelous performer, but the image he projects to young black men is an image that we all should reject. But, of course, men like this will live to die of old age because they threaten nothing.

WINNERS OF PULITZER PRIZES IN JOURNALISM, LETTERS AND THE ARTS;
Date: 17 April 1984
Public Service The Los Angeles Times In one of the largest reporting efforts it has made, The Los Angeles Times assigned 11 reporters and 2 editors, all Mexican-Americans, to a series on the more than three million people of Hispanic descent in Southern California. The editors and reporters conducted more than 1,100 interviews and polled nearly 1,500 people, including non-Hispanic residents. The result was a 27-part series, ''Latinos,'' that began last July with an examination of a Mexican-American family and concluded with an essay on the Chicano movement of the 1960's and what it meant for the future. The study included autobiographical accounts of growing up in the East Barrio of Los Angeles and being employed as migrant workers. The problems, achievements and changing nature of the Hispanic people were examined, leading to what the Pulitzer board said was a better understanding among the non-Hispanic majority about the minority group.

STUDY ASSESSES EFFECTS FROM TV EVANGELISM

Religious television shows are not cutting into church attendance as some social scientists and religious organizations had suggested in recent years, according to a study of religious television programming released yesterday. The two-year study, conducted by the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School of Communications, also found that religious broadcasts appeal to 13.3 million people - 6.2 percent of American television viewers - who, for the most part, already have strong religious beliefs. The programs, the study suggested, fail to reach large numbers of viewers who are not actively religious, nor do they seem likely to make many new converts. ''This is both good news and bad news for evangelical broadcasters,'' said Dr. George Gerbner, dean of the Annenberg School. ''The good news is that they do not reduce the number of people going to local churches. On the bad side, we found they are reaching a stable audience of those who are already religiously active.''

An American professor who was kidnapped more than two months ago was rescued today by Shiite Moslem militiamen who stormed a West Beirut house in which he was being held. A French construction engineer who was abducted five days after the American and held along with him was also freed by the militiamen, members of the Amal Shiite militia. Both the American, Prof. Frank Regier of the American University here, and the Frenchman, Christian Joubert, appeared dazed and were unshaven, but otherwise seemed physically sound. Kidnappers' Indentities Unknown The identities of the kidnappers, who were being interrogated this evening, were not immediately clear. Security officials close to the investigation said they appeared to be ''Moslem extremists'' who had been holding the two men for still undetermined reasons.

TEXT OF STATEMENT BY C.I.A.
Date: 17 April 1984
Following is a statement today by George Lauder, the Central Intelligence Agency spokesman, on behalf of the agency concerning its efforts to keep appropriate committees of Congress informed of C.I.A. covert operations: During the 13 January 1981 Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing on the nomination of Mr. Casey to be Director, C.I.A., Mr. Casey said: ''I intend to comply fully with the spirit and the letter of the Intelligence Oversight Act. I intend to provide this committee with the information it believes it needs for oversight purposes.'' Mr. Casey believes the record will reflect that he and his staff have kept that pledge.
