Ata recent meeting several patients expressed resentment about the i cold unfeeling manner in which their doctors had Given the diagnosis and told them they Hod Only a Tew months to live.

Dear Ann Landers this is an open Teller to All those women who thin marriage to a Middle aged millionaire would be Hea Venly. Not True ladies. I married my millionaire a few years ago. He gave me a last minute prenuptial agreement that would strangle a horse. It was definitely not the Ideal Way to Start a marriage. I find it strange that my husband takes advantage of my modest salary when he could buy and sell me Many times Over. The Man makes sizable donations to worthy causes and 1 have to go to the Bank to get Aloan for Little since i must slay on the Job he lakes Brief vacation without me. No doubt this makes him an object of interest to other women who think catching him would be wonderful. Some might Call me foolish bul i married because 1 love him and life is belter with him than without Only Hope that someday he will realize thai Money in t everything.

Of form readers speak out on Iran Contra affair i have become increasingly concerned with the tone contained in letters to the editor in the stars and stripes and other publications. Recently Many writers have put Forth the notion that the president and his advisers were entirely Justi fied in their handling of the Iran Centra affair because the end justifies the Means every other country Doe in Tad to on. Maybe these folks need to be reminded of their american history. When the founders of the United states Sal Down to write our Constitution they had in mind a unique form of government one containing a system of checks and this idea resulted in the Divi Sion of Federal Power into three branches legislative executive and judicial ensuring that each Branch would be accountable to the others and hence to the people. Because it violated Federal Laws barring arms sales to Iran then sent the Money to the Contra without the notification or approval of Congress the administration has to answer for its Clandestine acts. It must account for its actions. Of course Many other nations have done much worse but does that make it right until the american revolution every nation of the world had oppressed its people but our founders decided to do things differently. They gave the american people a powerful voice in heir government. The time has not yet nor will it Ever come to give up our voice in Exchange for Blind obedience. Lord Acton said Power tends to corrupt and absolute Power corrupts we must never hand our leaders a Blank Check to pursue their personal interests right or wrong. To do that would be to remove their accountability to the people and to make Worth less the struggles of the men and women who achieved our Freedom. William Hardy Neu Ulm Germany with much being said concerning the Sale of arms to Iran and the subsequent diversion of profits to the contras i would like to add my piece. First la col. Oliver North is indeed a criminal. He May have believed he was acting in the Best interest of the United states but this Assumption was a massive error in judgment. Assuming he is an intelligent Man he undoubtedly knew that what he was doing was illegal and specifically against the will of Congress. Additionally the loss of millions of dollars in the process paints to incompetence and mismanagement of his actions on a grand knew what he was doing was wrong and with or without the advice and consent of his Superior he must remain responsible for his actions if any other military officer lost millions of dollars in an it conceived scheme he would undoubtedly find himself considering the outcome of his actions in jail. Second North s Superior. Vice Admiral John poin Dexter possesses greater responsibility for creating the scandal than North. He must have approved North actions or even formulated the entire plot in his Post As National Security adviser. The fact that Poindexter and North refuse to testify is solid evidence their mis deeds were in fact of a criminal nature. Third i am suspicious of military men in powerful government positions and in particular positions that allow them to formulate foreign policy. An Avenue for foreign policy input is provided to the military through the department of defense. Foreign policy should exclusively be the state department s territory. The experience of military men is usually limited in he Arena of world diplomacy and their actions lend toward Force and weapons As opposed to diplomacy and negotiation. The rapid fall from Grace of Alexan Der Haig and the Poindexter North fiasco proves this finally As president Ronald Reagan cannot avoid his responsibility for the Iran Contra mess. Like a Mili tary commander he is responsible for the action of All his troops whether he was aware of heir actions or not. He should now work to Root out the aides that approved such a Cavalier policy and get the United states Back on rack As a nation that Fosters world peace an opposes repression. Even in the aftermath of the Iran Contra affair our nation s foreign policy remains one that is basically Good. We must now prove this again to our allies and friends. Name withheld a Gonella Sicily More hockey coverage on to requested Many people write in saying they want More sports coverage and being an avid sports fan myself i could t agree More. What puzzles me is there s one sport being totally ignored nil hockey. 1 understand that football and basketball Are much More popular but Only one game in 30 played so far this season in the nil has been televised and even talc season Pennant races in baseball were Cut out to air pre season College football which did t make sense. The nil Only consists of so regular season games and last year the Only playoff games i remember seeing were the actual finals of the Stanley cup. I realize an does not have much of a say As to what arts schedules so maybe you could please print their addresses As i and Many others could Lodge our complaints. Also i commend an to sports Crew for an excellent Job on their total sports coverage. Hub cd Midendorf Germany editor s note Tom bunter chid to per Taos he an a opt replica do Rifle Cut Butr w 1m6, 12 hockey Garnet Ware carried by an television. When possible we scheduled All hockey game offend by the armed forces radio and television service arts. We expect to metre similar number of hockey games this season. All an sports coverage in provided by arts and sent to the worldwide system on t single Channel satellite service.
