proud" If previous generations tended to lose their identity in the melting pot present generations tend to be culturally distinct parts of the mosaic "I think that's true of all ethnic groups" Baroody says "but it is definitely true of Arab Americans" There is a growing pride in their Arabic background in their culture their history Every Arab American knows that the Arab world larger than the Roman Empire at its peak preserved the arts and sciences as Europe fell into intellectual darkness and waited for the Renaissance The Arab American knows that his fellow Americans use the Arabic alphabet and numbers The influx of Arabs to the United States began about 1880 recruited as cheap labor for America Most very simply sought the gold that paved the streets "The real gold they found was opportunity" says Alixa Naff who has specialized in Arab American history and works at the Smithsonian Institution She says it is a fiction that they were in flight from the Turks who controlled much of the Arab world until World War I although some young men did flee compulsory conscription into the Turkish Army beginning in 1908 They were natural entrepreneurs Many of them did what they knew best growing and marketing produce fruits and vegetables But they were also merchants and most began peddling notions and Bibles out of a suitcase from the mountains of West Virginia to the plains of the Midwest They built the "Mother Mosque" in Cedar Rapids Iowa in 1934 and Syrian Orthodox Churches throughout California The latest immigrants are fleeing for their lives mostly agrarian Moslem families from southern Lebanon but there are also Iraqi Chaldeans and some Palestinians some of them professionals many of them seeking greater opportunities When Col James Jabara became America's first jet ace during the Korean War or when Joe Robbie the son of a poolroom owner bought the Miami Dolphins Arab Americans were not in the habit of exhibiting their ethnic pride Don Bustany a radio producer who works with Casey Kasem says he never thought consciously of "as similation or being absorbed" in American society "I always had my pita bread sandwiches in high school and my friends were delighted when they could share Arabic food at my house" he says He also remembers the exhilaration at meeting a fellow Arab American when the common salutation was "Keefic Cousin" He grew up with the attitude that Lebanese were superior people "I discovered not only was that not true but every ethnic group believes that they are" he says anti- low-inco- child-bearin- grandparents

planning grant recipients from even discussing the procedure The court is scheduled to hear arguments in two New York cases At issue are a series of regulations that are part of the Public Health Act of 1970 known as Title 10 which authorizes the secretary of health and human services to make grants to family planning clinics Title 10 gives out some $200 million to about 4000 clinics nationwide which serve nearly 5 million women per year The law barred funding to groups providing abortion as a means of "family planning" but let recipients of Title 10 funds inform patients about abortion In 1988 tile Reagan administration tightened the law barring any funding to groups that counseled women about abortions told them where they might get an abortion or merely told patients about abortion
