Regan remark hit close to Home Donald Regan the president s chief of staff gave the Only sensible answer 10 the question of economic sanctions South Africa. When asked by reporters about using Lough Mea sures against Pretoria Regan replied arc the women of America prepared to give up All their jewelry though not the key question about South Africa it certainly ranks up there with the important one. I had t Riali cd this until Regan raised the Issue Aslo to american women fell Aboul their jewelry. As soon As inc news article appeared 1 took it Down to he Beach and read i o some very attractive women. Then asked. Who among you i prepared to give up your jewelry to Slop apartheid Are we talking about the jewelry we already have or the jewelry we re going to gel it does t say i replied. But i would assume Regan was talking about jewelry futures. My under standing is that i we Lay unctions on the South Afri cans it Means that we will not be Able to buy diamonds and Gold for a very Long Lime. Women in this country will suffer like they have never suffered you could smell the fear on the Beach. Why is she White House picking on us the lad asked. They re not picking on you but Regan is trying to say that you can t make an Omelette without cracking some i Don t care about omelettes. 1 worry about my Gold Brach less. My arms will be naked without them. Why can t we go along with sanctions for South Africa except for diamonds Gold and it s Alt or nothing. This is not my decision but Donald regans it s one thai the women of americ must a Man who was t in our party said does it in clude men s Gold chains As Well Regan said nothing about them As far As i could see but i would suspect eventually it would include men s jewelry As Well. How do you feel about South african sanctions the Man put his head in inc Sand and said i Don t want to Laik about one of the women asked would the embargo in clude emeralds and rubies and sapphires no but what Good Are emeralds rubies and sapphires without diamonds to make them look Good i know this is a very hard Choice for every woman in America to make. At the same Lime who else is going to decide it politically the administration can t afford to Cut off women s jewels just o show South Africa How laugh we can one of the women had a question. Would there be a safety net for i Host of us who Don t have too Many jewels to Start with 1 referred to the newspaper Story. There is nothing Aboul a safely net in Regan s statement. If you want the truth. I think inc administration is against sane Lions and Regan wants to use the american women to get the while House off the Hook. When the administration starts feeling All the pressure in Congress to do something about South Africa Regan will say i wanted to but the american woman would t let me. She was afraid thai with sanctions she d have nothing to put on her go away one of the women said. There is More i Lold her. If we have sanctions against South Africa we won t get any Chrome for our bathroom for the first time everyone looked up in does it the lady said. Tell Regan Well sup port Ronnie s South Africa no Sanction policy at c Lai aaq4h tic nth sync it the agonies of cooking out by Russell Baker All right Here it is straight from the shoulder i Katelo Cook out. The reason i hate 10 Cook out is thai every Lime i iry it everybody looks at me in disbelief and disgust an somebody always says you can t Cook out As Well As my 7-year-old notice it s always a 7-year-old son. Never a 7-year-old daughter. Know Why because cooking out is sup posed to be a Macho thing to do like playing in the sunday softball game which 1 also Hale and gelling together with All the Guys and several cases of Beer to watch the super bowl which hate even worse than cooking out. Who defines what is and in t Macho anyhow i am terrific at doing Jigsaw puzzles but the instant i Start boasting about the big 2,000-piece Job i whipped in just three Days other men fall silent then change the subject to giant Martin they battled in the Gulf Stream to great Beers they drank while watching super bowls to whole sides of beef they cooked out for panics of 50. Honestly now can anybody explain Why smoking up the neighbourhood Wajih flaming beef grease is any More Macho than putting together a Jigsaw Puzzle afterwards i realized thai was Why i enjoyed living in Manhattan All those years before the real estate goons drove me Oul. In Manhattan nobody expected you to Cook Cut. If you look a bag of charcoal and a Grill out into East 67ui Street and started to get a Beefsteak marinated in kerosene fumes and encrusted with charred mosquitoes the police would run you in for Public cooking without a License unless the cooking Union got there first to picket you As Scab Hose Sweet new York years i d forgotten about the Macho ritual of cooking Oul until ensconced in my new rustic Paradise i found myself buying a Grill a bag of charcoal a can of fluid for making the charcoal Burn and a doomed sirloin. It was madness of course but there was no Way out. I had us a three months in this new place without once cooking out. Suspicion was growing. This was a neighbourhood where men cooked out Ines limes a week. It was apparently an obligation of Good citizenship Tike doing jury i have confronted my Manly duly. Just As in the incompetent old cookout Days before the glorious Manhattan years the charcoal still refuses to Burn no matter How thoroughly doused with never fail Char Coal igniter. Just As in those hateful old Days people dear to me Stilt ask How soon will the Steak be done in t the thing done yet How often d id i hear that despairing cry before the marvelous new York years. And now i must hear it again. How do i know if it s done it s too Dart by now even to see where in is. If Only there were some Way to gel Toff the Gnu. Bui of course the Long Fork designed for that purpose was thrown away Yean ago during a Fil of pique after i d inadvertently plunged it into my thigh while falling Over the empty water bucket i d forgotten o put out of he Way after making the an Asbestos Shingle As a Spatula i get the Steak off the coals and into the Kitchen Light for inspection. Groans of despair All around. But none from me i a too preoccupied inventing excuses for not gelling to Gether with All the Guys and several cases of Beer next Winter to watch the super bowl.
