European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 30, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Pago 18 the stars and stripes monday june 30,19bs columns changing fobs is a Good idea by Andy Rodney the president of Yale University one of the great educational institutions is the new president of he National Uja tie one of the great baseball organizations. For those of you unfamiliar with baseball the National league Champion plays he american league Champion in what they Call the world series even though they Don t let any of her country but Canada in on it. It s interesting when someone leaves what he or she is doing to do something completely different. A pet son has 10 have a lot of nerve and ability to do it. . Bart Lull Giamatti a renowned scholar and the author of several books among them one called Variorum commentary on the poems of John Mil Ion has been a successful administrator at Yale an there s no reason to think he can t Transfer that ability to baseball. I m not so sure hell find a place to use his Variorum knowl Csc of Mitton or even a place to use i he Ward Variorum in baseball. The question that comes to my mind is this could someone who Hus been a manager in baseball make the same Job change in reverse that or. Giamatti has made could Billy Martin for is amp Lake aver As president of Yale 1 Don t think Well Ever know because baseball is More willing to Lake a Chance on Giamatti than Yale would be to try Billy Man in. Personally know several Yale graduates who would t want Martin at Yale but 1 Don t Inov any sex baseball players who mind having Giamati. Or who be Ever heard of him for that matter. The idea of people changing jobs is a Good one though. More 01 us should do it. Too Many people get stuck doing the same Dull thing All their lives without Ever finding out whether they have the ability to do something die. Most of us Don t dare change jobs. We re Chicken. I we re making an of living so we re Able to pay the mortgage or the rent the car loan the insurance Premium and the grocery Bills and have enough credit to borrow fora vacation we Don t want to Rock the boat most of us Are trapped by the pension system too. People Slick at a Job for no other reason than that they be already been at it for it years. Three More years Andy a Friend said to me the other Day. Just three More years and i m getting out of Here. I can t wait someone ought to do him a favor and fire him some won t waste three years of his life working at a Job he does t like. Or. I Ainali says thai he s dreamed of being presi Dent of one of the big league baseball organizations All his life. It s Nic thai he s realized his dream. I Vek Nown half a dozen people who have dreamed of being concert pianists famous actors or Best Selling authors but never made in. I have one Good Friend who is Clever with his voice and write funny material but he Slicks at a 9-Lo-s Job because he does t quite air quit and nylo make Ilas a comedian. I m not certain my Friend could make it either. The trouble is Here Aren t Many opening for comedians concert pianists or acting stars. If you Are the 27,000lh Best insurance Salesman you can make a very Good living but there in t much Market for your Talent if you re the 27,000th Best violinist in the world. And no television network is going to pay a lot of Money to even the 270th funniest comedian. My Friend May be funnier than 229 million americans but that in t Good enough. Other people stick at Dull jobs because that s what they do. Work is a nervous habit. They never think of trying to do anything else. They get up in he morning and their routine is so established they never give changing it a thought 1 say hurray for a. Bartlett Giamatti but his Friend sat Yale roust be quoting his hero. John Milton but o the heavy change now Litou and gone now thou Art gone and never must return bashing fascists with quiet diplomacy by Art Buchwald what is our policy in South Africa i asked Nat tily a top ranking source at the state department. We deplore what is going on there and will take Lough measures to see that the South african govern ment changes its what kind of measures 1 asked. We will threaten them with the Only thing he Botha government understands quiet what land of quiet diplomacy it would t be quiet if 1 told you would it i can Only reveal that in our experience the More you raise your voice the less influence you have. But if we can go in through the Back door there is always a Chance we can make a Deal with. Botha whale Youcan t3" then we continue our quiet diplomacy hoping the South african Leaden will see the does quiet diplomacy really work i asked. All the Lime. We be used it in every fascist coun try in the world and it s never you mean governments have stopped beating up people in the streets after you come in with q.d.? you have to take my word for it. The quieter you Are about human rights violations the better behaved the foreign government is about Locking up what a wrong with Ufuti uiting economic sanctions against South Africa they Don t then Why do we have them against Cuba with communist they work nastily said but sanctions against a Friendly fascist Power would Hurt the people we Are trying to that Means your Chance of using sanctions could Hurt our relations with South Africa con eel. I think Secretary of stale George Shull summed in up Best on the evening news when asked if the . Would Levy sanctions he replied " what do you say to Bishop Tutu when he gilts on the . To invoke sanctions we Don t say anything to Bishop Tutu if we can help it. Our policy is to remain Neutral in South i then asked nastily does it bother you that Botha has instituted a stale of emergency and anyone can be locked up for no reason of course in bothers us and we intend 10 bring it up atthe next quiet diplomacy meeting in Pretoria. You arc aware that president Reagan sent Botha a very Tough note about the South african martial Taw did it have any effect no Bill Hal is the advantage of quiet diplomacy. Very few people know that Botha told Reagan to Sluffik. That s a foreign policy nastily said do you have a better one i might go for the sanctions if i was bankrupt in forget it we re on lop of this thing. We be War an edit from one end of foggy Bottom to the other. In foreign affairs there is a time los Hout and a time to and Well you Don t hear anyone in the administration shouting about South so we can relax knowing int we re up to our necks in quiet diplomacy to quote the Secretary of state when asked on one of the morning news shows if we had the Situa Tion under control his answer was yes " c 19m.uh Angom what a pay just a mall a xxx Ofcar what happened Well the a Ftp train was late i usual got.
