“I Refuse to Give In or Give Up
After Being a Victim of ‘Date Rape’!”
Every woman has, at some time or the
other, considered the horror of possible
rape. How do you live with the memory?
How do you survive the trauma? Vi-
vian Samson, now married and the
mother of three children, will tell you in
her own words of the losses, the depres-
sion and the social responses which can
follow such a tragic experience. Today,
by volunteering her time with the Rape

fight back. Hear this courageous young
woman’s story at Akiba on Sept. 5.
Daniel L. Downs

“I Refuse to Give In or Give Up
Because an Accident
Made Me a Quadriplegic!”
One day, you are a fine young college
scholar, strong and athletic. The next
day, you are the crumpled victim of an
accident, a helpless quadriplegic. But
“helpless” is not the word for Stuart
Klein of Munsey, N.Y., who, drawing on
his strong Orthodox beliefs, is fighting
back against this tragedy that occurred
in January, 1985. Now undergoing
therapy in Houston, he is also com-
pleting his degree in Economics by co-
respondence with Queens College. Meet
this very determined young man at
Akiba on September 5.
