MARCH 11, 1990 THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR- PAGE H-7 Sophie Freud studies passion- SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE Sigmund Freud's granddaughter. Dr. Sophie Freud, Is discussing a sexy topic that happens to be her passion. The topic is passion. And It's more than you may think.

"Some people think instantly about sex when the word 'passion' is used," says Freud, a social work professor at Simmons College in Boston. "I define passion as an obsessive emotion where people want to be with a love object and think about a love object all the time, and it may or may not Include sex." For instance? "You can love your child passionately. You can even love a person of the opposite gender, or the same gender, passionately, without It being sexual. Freud wrote about her relationship with -her. -aunt and other passions she and other womert have experienced in her book.

My Three Mothers and Other Passions. But did not her famous grandfather -the. founder of psychoanalysis once write that "only men are capable of true passions?" Yes, she says, but her grandfather was wrong. For a research project, she once collected .700 questionnaires on passion. And, she says, most of those women said they've had at least a couple of passionate experiences.

The passions, she says, can happen In a love relationship and usually concern a person, but things like sports or music can be passions, too. "Most women seem to sense intuitively what I mean by the difference between love and pas- sion." r.v7 i iji -f -f nmm m. iSmI COUPON EXPIRES MARCH 17 1990 2 Rooms of Carpet Cleaning now $26.00 a LOS ANGELES TIMES Alaska Gov.

Now, only 50 KGB border guards live there in barracks, peering through binoculars from guard posts across the Bering Strait to moni tor the activities of residents of Little Diomede. "Several of us from Little Dlr mede made a 30-mile trip last July In walrus-skin boats to the Soviet mainland to visit relatives we hadn't seen or heard from since 1948.

We stayed over there a week," said Milligrock. "Our Eskimo relatives sailed to Little i(ig between Alaska and the So-vjet Far East with Increasing regularity.

Mala, 43, traveled to Moscow in 1985 and persuaded Soviet "Our state has a unique geographic and historic connection fo the U.S.S.R. It was part of Russia for 126 years, from Its discovery by Vitus Bering in )741 to its purchase by the U.S. for $7.2 million in 1867," said Alaska Gov. Steve Cowper. "We know the Soviet Far fcast better than anyone else.

'We proposed several joint business ventures. Some, involving Soviet and U.S. fishermen, are already in place." The governor has proposed establishing an American Consulate In the Soviet Far East and 3 Soviet Consulate in Anchorage to expedite all our relationships." i He said 80 Soviet officials are flying to Alaska and a like number of Alaskans to Soviet Eastern coastal cities In April, each primed with business proposals.

Mala was the person who initially started breaking down barriers between Alaska and Siberia. He has been the key player in the unfolding relations between the Soviet Far East and Alaska." Cowper said. Mala has arranged most of the trips to the Soviet Far East for Alaskan officials and others as a liaison with Soviet authorities. He has traveled throughout Siberia on numerous trips, seeing what no Westerner had ever been permitted to see.
