Show The Daily Utah Chronicle - Page Two Wednesday, February 20, Guns pound to prepare ground battlefield DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia Marine guns hammer away at the Iraqi front lines and allies ships sweep the gulf for mines, as desperate days of diplomacy dwindle down toward a ground war. Iraq must decide quickly on a Soviet peace plan, a plan President Bush already says "falls well short." Iran's foreign minister says the bottom line is simple: an Iraqi pullout from Kuwait in exchange for a U.S. pullout from Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, U.S. military sources, breaking a command taboo on discussing Iraqi battle deaths, said Tuesday that the month-ol- d air campaign was inflicting "horrendous casualties" on Saddam Hussein's forces in Kuwait. One of the sources, a senior official, also offered a view that because Iraqi tanks generally have two or three crew members, that many may have died in each of the 1,300 tanks the allied forces claim to have destroyed. Government seeks better energy policy With America's reliance on foreign oil underscored by the Persian Gulf War, Congress painfully and the administration are both eager for a new energy strategy. But they are at odds over whether it should stress conservation or increased domestic production. President Bush is expected to unveil Wednesday a long-terenergy blueprint that comes down too heavily on the production side. But half a dozen lawmakers already have introduced bills so varied that no compromise will come easily. WASHINGTON m The arguments range from much stiffer auto fuel economy standards, to drilling for oil in environmentally sensitive areas, to a rebirth of the nuclear power industry. "There will be a battle royal over energy policy," predicted Sen. Albert Gore, n.

It's mostly Mozart in Austria this year. Two centuries after his death, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has returned this year to dominate Vienna and other Austrian cities in a way he could have only dreamed of during his lifetime. He is everywhere, with museums, state television, government-pai- d public relations experts and private businesses rushing to capitalize on the anniversary. The Austrian genius had his share of hard times. His tenure in Salzburg ended ingloriously with a kick in the butt on the orders of Mozart's patron, the city's imperious archbishop, after Mozart refused to follow orders on how to compose. Mozart had financial success in Vienna, where he spent the last decade of his life. But he was never truly accepted in high society there, and many of his operas were better received in Prague than in the Austrain capital. Mozart died Dec. 5, 1791, at the age of 35. His coffin shares a grave with at least four others. Nobody showed up for the burial as was custom at the time, and nobody today knows exactly where he was laid to rest.

The researchers concluded that death is usually not sudden. It is usually preceded by several years of declining health and with that declining health there are several years of excessive health care costs. "A lot of economic loss occurs prior to the death," Zick said. Zick said the reason for this is that often prior to the death, one or both partners withdraw from the labor force in order to care for their spouse. That loss of income coupled with the rising cost of health care adds to the drop in income. In situations where the spouse is illness, suffering from a long-terwidows seem to suffer most financially. The poverty rate for widows increases by nearly 50 percent when their spouses are ill. Zick said the situation a widow faces is similar to the economic loss that occurs after a divorce. Zick said, "Widowers seem to have the power to bounce back m financially after the death. The husband's economic situation does tend to increase improve. Widows' on average do not."

Stereotypes and conflicts between races arise because groups try to impose their value systems on each other, she said. "We impose our values of how things should be, according to past experience, on what is actually there. We distort reality.
