Capitalism Richard Frank of the John Hopkins School of Public Health in Baltimore has calculated that depression costs America $24.5 billion a year (not The Depression, but depress sion, which Dr Frank defined as "loss of pleasure and interest in life, and additional symptoms such as loss of appetite, insomnia, agitation, fatigue, guilt and suicidal He told the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Society that the annual cost to society includes $3.2 billion for care of the victims, plus about $21.7 billion in lost productivity. And Dr Morton Silverman, chief of the centre for prevention research at the National Institute of Mental Health in Rockville, Maryland, told the conference: "So far there's no proof that depression can be prevented, but the whole field is just coming into its own. A first step is to find just who is at high risk for the condition. Studies have shown unusually high rates in the chronically physically ill, immigrants, people newly diagnosed with high Going, going 2010, in which the meaning of life, the universe and everything is finally disclosed, dispenses with its bodily form at the Pitt Centre, City, tomorrow.

Teachers, a teencom seen from the adult side, graduates from the Hoyts Centre, tomorrow. Cat, about an Irish boy who decides he'd rather make love to Helen Mirrcn than blow people up, shows that modern young people aren't completely crazy, jigs out of the Village, Double Bay, tomorrow. Is this a record? Japanese censorship authorities last week permitted filmgoers in Tokyo their first glimpse of pubic hair. The film which broke the Japanese law against the depiction of pubic hair was 1984, based on George Orwell's book, showing at the Tokyo Inter- national Film Festival.

Two police officers stood at the back of the cinema while the film was screened, but took no action. One of them told reporters: "There seemed to be two or three such scenes, but the story was difficult to understand and the scenes did not give feelings of obscenity." The film's director, Michael Radford, told the audience after the film that the scene in which the leading actors take off their orphan, grows up in the Australian bush with a great love of horserid-ing. While a teenager in the 1950s, he migrates to America, falls in with the wrong crowd, and becomes a transvestite. Following an acting career, she becomes a nun, taking the name Sister Maria. While on a pilgrimage in the middle east, she meets an archeologist who is avenging the death of a.

friend by ripping-off the man responsible. Shocked by the evil of the world, Sister Maria leaves the convent to join a rebel group fighting to overthrow an evil empire, only to have his arch enemy claim to be the father Luke thought was dead. Trapped in California and anxious to return home, Luke is aided by local children and manages to escape, only to be taken by a shark while holidaying at the beach." Vince Fury of Balmain offers The Nun From Apple: "Hairy robot nun rides into Jindabyne singing old rock songs, a pet snake curled up over her sharkskin saddle, loses card game in smokey saloon bar to whip-carrying long-fingered local Elvis look-a-like, who fancies her until an electronic chromosome reversal. The snake has invaded her computer, system." And yesterday we quoted our best recollection of the words to the Robin Hood TV theme. Numerous readers phoned with what they claimed to be the correct version, but they all differed from each other.

We have now checked with Channel Nine, and this is the version as transcribed from the show: "He called the greatest archers to a tavern on the green. They vowed to help the people of the King. They handled all the trouble on the English country scene. And still found plenty of time to sing." determination to stay in a cart heading in just the opposite direction from Mr Keating's. Meanwhile, we have received a letter from a reader who lives in Elizabeth Bay, and who asks not to be named.

The reader says he is puzzled because he walks past Mr Keating's four storey terrace in Roslyn Gardens, Elizabeth Bay, every night and there is never a light on. He remembers reading almost 18 months ago that the Keating family were staying at the Vaucluse mansion of the developer Warren Anderson because their terrace was being renovated. The reader assumes the job is still not finished and says he hopes the Treasurer's departmental advisers are more accurate in their forecasts about the national economy than the renovators were about the time required to finish the Keating residence. Showbiz Recently we asked readers to create The Most Commercial Movie Idea of All Time, by combining elements from a list, published by Variety magazine, of movies that had made the most money in Australia. Australia's most successful movies were ET, The Man From Snowy River, Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Grease, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, The Sound of Music, Tootsie, and The Sting.

David Parmeter of Surry Hills offers The Jaws of Fate: "Luke, an mam blood pressure and close relatives of people with depression, schizophrenia and alcoholism." What they did in Canberra In preparation for the grand presentation at 8.30 this morning of his White Paper on Tax Reform, the Treasurer, Paul Keating, decided that there was one more person he needed to drag onto what he calls "the cart" moving towards a consumer tax. That was Eric Risstrom, Secretary of the Australian Taxpayers Association (whatever that is has anyone ever asked you to join? Have you ever heard of any other office bearers? Could Mr Risstrom be the only member? Never mind, let us proceed).

Mr Keating kept Mr Risstrom in his office in Canberra for two hours, giving him an abbreviated version of the four-hour hard sell he has been presenting to Labor Party groups all over the country. Afterwards, an exhausted Mr Risstrom would not say what the discussion had involved, and gave no clue as to whether he has altered his earlier TH fee AUl, baby is causing in class.
