Eli Lilly co-sponsored the seminarat the University Park Hotel, along with the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute and the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. Edward A. West, director of corporate communications for Eli Lilly, acknowledged that such seminars couldboostsales for the company. But improving aware- nessof depressionis good for everyone, he argued. “There's no questionit’s underdiagnosed,’ West said. ‘‘The more people that are properlydiagnosedandtreated, the more the cost to society will go down.” Some were touched by Tobias’ personal story. “I don’t think people really understand the magnitude of desion and whatit does to famsaid Char Corbit, director of property managementfor the Utah Girl Scout Council Corbit and colleague Sharon Stetz, executive director of the council, were surprised by depression’s toll on industry: a 1990 Massachusetts Institute of Technology study found that it cost $23.8 billion in lost productivity, $12.4 billion in direct medical costs, and $7.5 billion in costs related to suicide, including lost earnings. The disorder, which afflicts an estimated 11 million Americans, ship, where are we?” Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch concluded the seminar with an update on health-care reform. He predicted more reliance on governmentas catalyst for private-sector activities and programs that maximizeflexiblity for states. Only “incremental” reforms will be considered, hesaid. But Hatch could not predict whether mental-health benefits would be included in any reform plan. “It will fall te the appropriations committees to provide the actual dollars, and that again will be a warof competingpriorities,” hesaid. urged the gathered Sr WWII Captive Then, in 1991, a friend angen him a newspaper with Nagasas Makes Peace photograph and a descriptiogcgt his efforts for atonement. years later, Lomax returned= the River Kwai.

British Defense Secretary Malcolm Rifkind, meanwhile, said Britain and France would establish a rapid-reaction strike force to protect peacekeepers. Rifkind welcomed President Clinton’s new flexibility to send U.S. ground troops to Bosnia to help redeploy U.N. peacekeepers — not just to pull them out. But a Clinton aide hinted Thursday that U.S. troops are unlikely to be used to support a redeployment of peacekeepers “Chances of us sending troops to Bosnia for some redeployment within that country are a lot less than 50-50,” said the aide. for the past intensified aflRs retirement. @ Continued from A-1 report for regular army duty Aug. 20, but the war ended five days beforethat.
