In Masai culture, when you really want to honor
a woman, you refer to her as the mother of her
oldest daughter. So last week, when a group of
Masai schoolgirls in northern Tanzania held up a
sign saying KARIBU MAMA CHELSEA, it
__(I)__ more than just “Welcome
Chelsea’s mom”. Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, on a
good-will tour trip of several African countries,
understood the compliment. They also understood
that the sheltered First Daughter is developing a
fan club of her own. Mrs. Clinton quickly noted that
the Masai girls __(II)__ to
someone “more active than her mother,” and
Chelsea took floor with ease. Asked about the
problem of American youth, she mentioned the
drug abuse and the ”hopelessness and cynicism”
that plague many of her fellow teenagers. “The
solutions ultimately have to come from the youth
people themselves,” Chelsea concluded
confidently. “We are the future, and we make of
our future what we make of it.”

“For three and a half years, the Bosnian Serbs
strangled Sarajevo in the belief that one day it
would be theirs. From outlying districts of the
city, they cut off electricity, gas and water and
shelled the government, killing more than
10,000 people. Serb marksmen in the
Grbavica district picked off hapless civilians a
few hundred yards away on a thoroughfare that
came to be known as Aleja Snajpera (Sniper
Alley). Then, in Dayton, the Serbs lost it all.
The peace agreement made Sarajevo a united
city, ruled by Muslim-dominated-Bosnian
government. Now, because they are Dayton’s
biggest losers, the Serbs who besieged
Sarajevo could become the biggest
troublemakers as NATO troops try to enforce
the peace agreement. Some Serbs promise to
fight. Others say they will move away, leaving
scorched earth behind them. “We will never
live with Muslims,” vows Srpko Tobica, a 52-
year-old soldier.”

LUSTING AFTER WALL STREET
If you have a big piece of your money in the
stock market these days, you must feel the way
Hugh Grant felt when he went for his famous drive
down Sunset Boulevard: your brain is telling you to
play it safe and go home, but your lust is so great
that you can’t help yourself.
The lust we’re talking about, of course, is
money lust. The market has risen so far so fast -
the 30-stock Dow Jones industrial average up 23
percent for the year through Friday, the broader
Standard & Poor’s 500 up 22 percent - that almost
anyone who’s been in the market has made a ton
of money this year. Including dividends, the gains
through last Friday work out a rate of around 45
percent a year. If things get a little hotter, 1995
could become the best year in market history,
topping the sap’s 53 percent return in 1993. This
kind of thing makes investors with a sense of
history very jumpy, because it’s too good to last.
You’re afraid to pull your money out of the market
and miss the rest of the fun, but you’re also afraid
of getting caught with your money exposed if the
market crashes. You don’t dare be in the stock
market at these prices, but you don’t dare not be
in. What’s a greedy investors to do?
The short answer: no one knows. Even though
stock prices are very high by important standards
like dividends, the market isn’t necessarily
heading for a fall. But there are warning flags
flying. The two most worrisome signals: dividends
are at their lowest level relative to stock prices in
at last 70 years, and the four most dangerous
words in finance, “This time it’s different,” are
abroad in the land.
Dividends matter because they have
historically accounted for almost half of investors’
returns. If you own stocks, you make money from
price increases and from dividends. If dividends
are lower than usual, then stock prices have to
rise more than usual for you to make your normal
return.
