Off the Record
Richer but still restless
LONDON : Richer but . still restless. Lady Margaret | Thatcher is proving not so much a hard act to follow as an awkward presence for Prime Minister John Major to live with, reports AP.
At home, the 66-year-old Lady Thatcher now is * symbol of the divisions over Europe that wrack Britain's governing Conservative Party
Abroad, the leader whom the the Soviets dubbed the Iron Lady in Cold War days has privatized her politics and fame In the 22 months since she was ousted In a Conservative Party revolL
She commands huge lecture fees. This summer, to the outrage of the antl-smoklng lobby, she was arranging a lucrative
contract as consultant to Philip Morris. The US tobacco giant and her office acknowledge they are "finalizing" a deal.
Most foreign lectures by Lady Thatcher are to ticket—only audiences, contents and price undisclosed. She speaks in Washington on Saturday.
Julian Seymour, director of het London office, said, "We don't make any comment ever ... on anything to do with her own financial affairs or those of the (Thatcher) foundation."
Because they feel uneasy
TOKYO : A Tokyo hotel refused to provide accommodations for an Americans AIDS patient during his stay here to attend a symposium, hotel officials said Tuesday, reports AP.
Organizers of the symposium, entitled "Living with AIDS," requested reservations at the Hotel Toshi Center for Sean Duque. 38. who addressed the one-day event last Thursday.
But the hotel rejected the request.
"We don’t want AIDS patients to stay because our customers will feel uneasy. And we re not equipped with hygiene measures." said an official at the hotel, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Duque, a singer-songwriter from Hawaii, developed AIDS about four years ago and has been active in efforts to educate people about the disease.
"Image Is very important for hotels like us," the official said.
Although AIDS has been heavily reported in the Japanese media, the coverage tends to be emotional rather than informative.
Although scientists say the virus cannot be transmitted through normal contact with patients, some people still fear they may get infected through kissing, hugging, mosquito bites and sharing toilet seats.
The hotel official said the hotel wants to wait "until the public is ready."
Commitment against sex
WASHINGTON : The US Defence Department has committed itself at the highest levels to rooting out sexual harassment in military ranks and is on a path that should lead to success within five years, two key members of Congress said Monday, reports AP.
"We believe we have a programme in place that will deal with It." said Congressman Les Aspin, chairman of the tower house Armed Services Committee.
For the first time, the military services have made it clear that sexual harassment will not be tolerated and that the career advancement of uniformed personnel will depend on their sensitivity to the Issue, said Aspin and Rep. Beverly Byron, chairman of the panel’s personnel sub-committee.
The latest moves were triggered by embarrassed about last year’s convention of naval aviators at which women were grabbed and partially disrobed by drunken male officers.
