. . FOR HUNTINGTON TOWNSHIP ~ ' WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2. 1991 _ 50 CENTS What's~ Up For . ' ,· 1991? Look In A Crystal Ball By Mary Beth Guyther Predicting the future is an age-old art, and even the bleakest predictions tend to arouse the public's .curiosity~. But while Armaggedon, fl~ war and nuclear holocaust have always been prominent on prophets'.Jists, more upbeat changes, such as -technological advances. and scientific breakthrougbs, rue also part of future scenarios. . . · Perhaps the most famous prophet. was Nostradamus. a 16th century FrenCh astrologez who published bis predictions in a wen entitled CenturiU. While some may thint Nostradamus' writings .are rather general descrip- tions, others think his forecasts be8r a striking . resembiance to aetual events that occurred centuries later. For elample, he wrote, .. The ancient work will be accomplisbedJAnd from the roof evil ruin will faD on the great man./Being dead they acc'use an inno- cent of the dead:/the guilty one is hidden in the misty woods~\ (/'lostradamus and the Milleniwn, by John Hogue, Doubleday and Company Inc., Garden City, New York). Many believe that this verse refers to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In Mr. Hogue's boOk, other writings from Nostradamus are interpreted-as predictions of important political or social events. The years 1979-2000 are said to be the age of a new religious consciousness, and the mid-1990s will mark the height of this new trend. Referring to this periOd, the author quotes Nostradamus: \A ·man will be . charged with destroying the temples and religions altered by fantasy./He will hann the rocks rather than the living./Ears filled with ornate speeches./He will travel far and wide in his drive to infuriate, delivering a great people from subjection./He will fly through the sky, the rains and the snows/And strike ev- eryone with his rod.\ According to Mri Hogue, Nostradamus predicted the AIDS crisis by refer- ring to a \pestilence\ thal would strike halt the world's population by the mid- 1990s. A series of earthquakes will hit in the mid-1990s as well, according to Mr. Hogue's interpretation of the prophet. The quakes will stan on the west coast of India and spread to the western part of the United States, which will be bro- ken aprut. Floods will ravage Florida and New York, and East Africa will break apart into three sections. . Other Nostradamus verses have been interpreted as forecasting the im- proved relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union and the end of this alliance: \One day the great powers will become friendS/Their great power will be seen to increase/The new land will be _at the height of its Teacher Cannan Vee uses her own experience to help Immigrants. See story, Page s. · Good Qeeds Recognized To get 1991 off to a good start, The RECOIID bas decided to tum the spotlight away briefly from· the usual diet of news and focus on some individuals who- though unheralded -are doing something special for their fellow human beings. In most cases, you probably have never heard of the persons featured in today's issue as \Locallleroes.n They have not received medals or citations, and their pictures. tarely appear in the newspapers. They work: quietly behind the scenes, and ~t's ~e way they like it; some of them were reluctant to be interviewed. But they are perfonning small but vital kindnesses that can change lives without ever attracting attention. As a companion io thiS theme, we also sent our photographers out to 'ask people at random to tell us whom they most ad- mire, and why. Some of their answers may surprise you. For features on Local Heroes. see Pages 3, 4 and 5; for readers' responses to the question \Who do you most admire?\ see Pages 7, 8 and 9. • . . .· .· . . . ' . . . . ~ ' . . . .
