ENTERTAINMENT continued from page 24 say something about these three beautiful black women. Everytime I see Vivica Fox, who is originally from Indianapohs, I ask myself where was she all my life. Pregnant women don’t lose beauty because they are pregnant, they become more radiant. Nia Long became my little sister. Even though Vanessa Williams’ beauty was played down, she was still very pretty, as usual. This film gave us a love-hate relationship with her. Now my one big complaint about this movie is one that Hollywood continually dictates. I think we are going to have to get loud and nasty before we get our point across to Hollywood that sex is real, however, we don’t have to see it in everything. Furthermore, the sex acts don’t make it a

great film. It totally polluted this great film. The sex scenes were not necessary, and should have been cut. The director spent too much time on those scenes. Only one was pivotal to the story. Yes, everyone has sex but we don’t have to see it in everything we watch. . Hollywpod really needs to revisit its value system about what is good and what draws people to movies. I refuse to believe that sex plays that big a role. I refuse to allow Hollywood to tell me what I’m supposed to like. I thought it was a great movie. I loved it, flaws and all. I rate it a very strong 9 out of 10. Among the other black films from the past and present it is still a strong 9 out of 10. I don’t think it needed any superstar actors and actresses. I beheve it is a movie people will enjoy and love to see over and over again.

VACCINE continued from page 18 being reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for licensure in the United States. An FDA advisory committee will meet in early December to consider all the data and-make their recommendation regarding licensure to the FDA. The World Health Organization is following closely developments here and in the European Union in an effort to determine how and when the vaccine might also be made available in the developing world. The Venezuelan study* which ' V

began in March 1992, was conducted at a hospital specializing in obstetrics and pediatrics in a poor urban area southwest of Caracas. The hospital team enrolled 2,207 full-term, healthy infants, each assigned at random to receive three doses total of either the vaccine or a placebo. A small amount of reconstituted pink liquid vaccine or its look-alike was given by mouth to the infants at 2, 3 and 4 months of age. Neither the study investigators nor the infants’ parents knew which product a child received until the study ended.
