The San Francisco Chronicle
reported earlier this year that an
increasing number of South
Korean men are undergoing plastic
surgery in order to look more
Western so it will be easier for
them to get jobs with international
business firms. The most common
operation involves adding layers
of skin to the eyclids to make
them look less Asian, the article
stated.

CALL WAITING

After two years of staging anti-
gay demonstrations at funerals of
AIDS victims in Kansas, Baptist
Rev. Fred Phelps staged one in
Kansas City, Missouri recently.
Last year, Kansas put a stop to
Phelps’ tactics (the minister
routinely pickets with signs such
as ‘‘God Hates Fags: Romans
9:13°') by making such
demonstrations illegal, and Kansas
City was considering a similar or-
dinance but did not enact it soon
enough. In another incident,
Phelps admitted he had made up a
rumor that a Topeka city council
member had AIDS.

In June, Wayne Bennett, 36, was
charged in New Orleans with kill-
ing his girlfriend by stabbing her
in the neck several times with a
pocket knife. Bennett told police
that the woman was having trou-
ble breathing and that he was
merely trying to save her life by
performing an emergency
tracheotomy.
