Prince Charles turns 40
The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, England — Prince Charles denounced a "Life Begins at 40" button and poked fun at his eccentric memory yesterday as he celebrated his birthday with 1,500 youths he has helped overcome poverty and unemployment.
University Daily Kansan / Tuesday, November 15, 1988
A ball at Buckingham Palace for friends and family was scheduled for the evening.
"You've given me one of the best birthday parties I could ever have hoped for," the air to the throne declared after a day that included champagne toasts, birthday cakes, renditions of "Happy Birthday," and a principely bit of disco dancing with three of his guests.
He chose Birmingham, Britain's second-largest city, and spent the day visiting projects partly financed by his various charities.
for the evening.
Charles used his 40th birthday to launch an appeal for $70 million for the Prince's Youth Business Trust, a charity that gives seed money and professional advice to unemployed people aged 18 to 25 who want to start their own business.
He went to Handsworth, an inner city district torn by race riots in 1985, to inspect Grove Lane Baths, which were converted into a community center.
Then he continued to the Old Tram Depot, which has been made into a transport museum. It was festooned with flags, balloons and antique gaslamps.
In the cavernous tram depot, the prince was semenaded by calypso and rock bands, and by hundreds of young people singing a specially composed paean to Charles: "Thank you for showing where the road can lead; If we put our mind to it, in time we will succeed."
His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, is in good health at 62, and he expects a long wait before being crowned King Charles III. Meanwhile, his search for a meaningful role has transformed him into a compelling spokesman for Britain's needy youth and a critic of environmental neglect.
Bishops welcome Bush; promise to tackle issues
WASHINGTON — The nation's Roman Catholic bishops yesterday recommitted themselves to speaking out fearlessly on public issues in the new Bush administration while grudgingly bowing to Vatican intervention on a church matter.

May and our leaders of the bishops conference played down talk of new controversy between them and the Vatican, but most of the discussion at yesterday's session revolved around two issues:

a last-minute intervention by the Vatican that will keep the group from voting this week on guidelines for resolving disputes with theologians.
resolving uniputas nowown proposed rejection of a draft Vatican the bishop'sown that seems to greatly limit the theological authority of conferences similar to the National Conference of American Bishops.
The Vatican intervention, which complained that the guidelines suggest equality between theologians and bishops, "might be perceived as confrontational or as belittling the episcopal conference, which I know is not intended," said Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago.
In response to the Vatican complaint, the bishops reset a vote on the guidelines for next June.
He and other bishops said the objection should have come much earlier.
The second dispute is broader, involving a draft Vatican document questioning the theological underpining for bishops' conferences. U.S. church leaders have built their conference into a seemingly powerful bureaucracy in recent years.
The bishops will vote tomorrow on a proposal to reject that document outright.
may said the bishops' response has been portrayed incorrectly by the news media "as if it signaled some sort of struggle with the Holy See. With all due respect for the creative imaginations of certain writers, this is simply false."
1482 Bishop James Malone of Youngtown, Ohio, a former president of the conference, introduced a revised rejection proposal, considerably toned down from the original which had used such phrases as "rigid and confusing" and "overly defensive and negative" to describe the Vatican draft.

Is angioplasty outdated? Doctors discover new ways to unclog arteries
WASHINGTON - Doctors are attacking heart disease with a variety of tiny new devices that shave, sand or burn away fatty deposits that clog the arteries, according to reports yesterday.

But it's yes! Pedigree being developed are intended to burrow through plugged heart arteries and blast away the fatty buildings that choke off the flow of blood and cause heart attacks.
of the MIA, the devices are intended to replace or improve balloon angioplasty. This treatment, performed on 184,000 people last year, is one of the nation's most common medical procedures.
During angioplasty, doctors thread a tiny balloon through an artery into the heart. There it's inflated, squeezing open the narrowed blood vessel. In about 30 percent of cases, however, the vessel soon closes shut again.
again.
Inexperienced hope the new tools will solve this problem. The devices have been tested on numbers ranging from about
50 to more than 200 patients. While these initial results show they can open up clogged arteries, more followup will be necessary before doctors know whether the long-term success is any better than with balloon angioplasty.
The new devices include:
- Shave catheter. This device works something like a miniature electric razor. Anything on the vessel walls that contacts the catheter's whirling blades is sliced off and removed.
- *Rotabatler*. This is a diamond-coated burr similar to a dentist's drill. "It literally polishes and sands the inside of a diseased vessel," said Dr. Robert Ginsburg of Stanford University.
- Hot-tipped laser. This metal point is heated by a laser.
It burns away the fatty deposits.
Smart laser. This approach uses a laser beam directly to burn the deposits. Earlier attempts failed because the pin-point beam burned holes in the artery. Now doctors are marking the fat first with specific colors, then using lasers that only attack those colors.
