Publisher wants to give thousands of books to E. Europe
NEW YORK — Roy Benjamin would like to send hundreds of thousands of books each month to the Soviet Union and the nations of Eastern Europe, where he believes there is a huge market for them.
Benjamin is a publisher, so you might think this just makes good sense, just as it makes sense, for example, to hundreds of American companies with consumer goods or manufactured products to sell.
But his plan is very different. He would donate his skills and time. The books would be gifts. He believes those who finance the idea, those who read the books and the nations involved would be the better for it.
In his 73 years, Benjamin has learned that while good ideas are appredated, ideas backed by a practical plan of implementation are worth a hundred times more. And so he has done the preliminary work.
His proposal, “International Friendship Books,’’ has been reviewed in publishing circles, shown to the U.S. government officials and tested directly on officials of the European nations that would benefit.
The responses have been uniformly good. Rita Klimova, Czechoslovakian Amabassador to the United States, told him that the people of her country “yearn for books that will tell the American story.”
Local: L. A. wonders what card Trump will play next
LOS ANGELES — Donald Trump’s new Taj Majal casino in Atlantic City, with its onion domes, minarets and huge stone elephants, has left many here wondering — or worrying — what the megadeveloper plans for an encore.
But details concerning Trump’s grand design for Los Angeles remain by and large the sultan’s secret.
The New York billionaire has proposed something characteristic— ally grand and opulent for Tinseltown — a $1 billion development set beneath a layer of ochre-colored smog and nestled amid perpetual traffic jams.
The project would give Los Angeles something it lacks — a landmark comparable to the Eiffel Tower or Rockefeller Center, said Barbara Res, the Trump organization vice president who is shepherding the deal.

A new 12-meal dining plan for Embassy Residential College, which will go into effect next fall, was announced by Dining Services officials last week.
The plan, which costs $1,025 per semester, allows Embassy residents to eat any 12 meals per week at any university dining locations, said Nikki Vescovi, marketing and promotions manager for Dining Services.
Under the current plan, which has been in effect for a year and costs $1,050 per semester, Embassy residents are limited to two meals a day — breakfast and dinner Monday through Friday, brunch and dinner on Sunday. Missed meals are non-ref undable.
With the new program, students can use their 12 meals at any time and for any meal, up to three meals a day. Missed meals roll over to the next day until the end of each week.
"(The new plan) gives students at Embassy much more flexibility," Vescovi said.
The new program was developed by a committee of administrators, students and faculty, according to a press release. Induded in this committee were Kathryn Adorno, president of Embassy student government; Kristine Dillon, associate vice president of student affairs; Susan Wilkie, director of Dining Services; Vescovi; and other student residents and residential staff.
"I think student input was very help-

ful," Vescovi said. "(The plan) wouldn't be where it was without (it)."
Adomo, as a voice of the Embassy residents, said she wanted to ensure a reasonable price, flexibility in using the meal plans and avoid a cut in the number of meals served at Embassy.
"I feel pretty good about it. It's not a perfect plan, but it's moving in the right direction," Adomo said. "1 think that there was a great deal of compromise on everyone's part . . . Hopefully, this will be an improvement."
Next fall at Embassy, breakfast and
dinner will be offered Monday through Friday, with brunch and dinner offered on Sunday. Students can use their meal plans at Embassy or at the EVK and Trojan dining halls.
Cash equivalendes of $2.57 for breakfast, $4.14 for lunch and $4.41 for dinner also are induded in the plan, allowing students to eat at any Dining Services fa cility on campus, including Carl's Jr., Cafe '84, Commons, Trojan Snackbar and Mom's Convenience Store.

Former Vice President Walter Mondale will deliver the keynote speech at a conference on global conflicts sponsored by the university's International Student As sembly and their counterpart at UCLA to be held at Bovard Auditorium this afternoon.
Mondale, who recently returned from Eastern Europe after studying events there, will moderate the panel discussion on the issues of German reunification.
The 12:30 p.m. conference, titled “Global Conflicts — Future Leaders Speak Out," will have student panel discussions on the "Middle East Dilemma," possible environmental consequences of continued economic development, South Africa, China and Women in Europe.
Jewish, Palestinian, Arab, East and West German, Russian and American students will sit on the discussion panels.
Mondale's last visit to Los Angeles was during a 1984 pre-election debate with former President Ronald Reagan at UCLA's Pauley Pavillion.
"Reaction to Mondale is that students are generally exdted to have him here
