Tell it in  a letters to the editor Mast contain the full printed Matt and address of the writer and must be signed. We Daht read null cd Kottora but we will withhold your Nakat on request and protect your privacy. All letters Are to c Media defended for coverage of Hart n re non the headline writers comment on Media s focus on  these writers Are of the opinion that Gary Hart was maligned by the press when it primed accounts of his extramarital affair with Donna Rice. Though i cannot condone the flashy front Page headlines that were criticized by some of your readers As designed to increase circulation of the newspapers i must defend myself As an average Voier who is Loo ignorant to understand the real  How can we expect an individual to uphold the standards of honestly integrity and moral uprightness that we expect and deserve in a president if he cannot Honor the sacred Bond of Matrimony or could it be these things Aren t important in his Day and age if Gary Hart cannot be faithful to one individual his wife no Les show can we As a nation expect him to be faithful to us the office of the pm Ideal of the United states i perhaps the most difficult and trying position that any one could Hope to hold. One mistake one error i judgment and the result could be disastrous not Only to our nation but to the entire world. I submit hat a breach of Trust on the level of which Hart i guilty with his wife committed on the National level would have been labelled treason. I m not saying that there should be a death penalty for marital infidelity. I m not saying that Whit Hart did was t something that "75 percent of adult males Are already doing As one of your readers pointed out. I m simply saving that "75 percent of adult males Are not morally qualified to execute the duties of the presi Dent of the United Stales. Spec. 4 Scott Chandler Maasheim str Quay i never thought i would join the ranks of those who defend the news Media. My position has always leaned toward grouping them with thieves used car salesmen Sharks and lawyers. They Are Best known for quoting Oul of context and that s being generous and feeding on the wounded. But the Han affair no pan intended is another Issue the residue of thought that followed Hart s act of political Hara Kiri appears to have split into two Camps i his contemporaries in Congress and most political commentators believe he pushed the Button on his own self destruction. 2. And Survey of the Public at Large a majority of whom we arc told believe that what a candidate does in his private is bit own business and should have no bearing on his ability Lope form As president of the United suites. A Case could be made that Hart himself was a Mem Ber of Camp no. 1 above since he offered but a tight protest and then bailed out. Keep in mind that in politics even the perception of one s character Lakeson a greater meaning than simply  any defense is of global dimensions and is instant Well structured and tenacious retractions Are a must. That Gary Hart has a reputation for chasing women that s plural in t something new. Nor has it anything Toda with religious impiety although i Don t think the biblical injunction to go out and multiply had Bimini in  stepped on his own Necktie and has been in the build ing process of thai reputation Over toe  Normal circumstance if a married Man chases other women or frequents motels that charge bythe hour in probably should t be others1 business to judge. But this Man was seeking the highest office in the country. Should t he have More class than that even if we concede for the moment that he kept his pants on during the Bimini frolic if during such unimportant Campaign As for the presidency he is willing to risk All for just the perception of Hanky Panky what the Devil kind of judgment does he possess if his hormones rather than his brain Are the source of decision making during his ran for presidency and his place in history what kind of decisions would he make later just what is important to him which brings me to the next Point can we readily subscribe to the idea that boys will be boys or eve belter if the other kids do it Why can t 1? docs the Public at Large really believe that a person s moral character is of no importance in this Case judging from the comments made in the recent letters in the stars and stripes in appears to be so. It was a 3-to-Lblowoul. If in is True Ihen we have a major segment of our Public that is morally bankrupt and thai in l Good. But the signs of in arc everywhere. If it feels Good in must be Good often seems to Rule the moment. We have Learned to accept any form of antisocial behaviour in our society by simply supporting it with the concept thai if people in Large numbers do it then it s of. If that convoluted logic includes the presumptive finding thai incarceration in the Slammer has never been a deterrent then it s embraced As if in were apart of he con still Ion and the Acle will paint it Gold and give in religious meaning. One of the writers complained that stripes has been unfair to Hart because his position on political matters had never been aired. First of All it is institutionally dangerous for any politician to take a Standon issues. His Best try any politician any party will state thai he is for Farmers when he s in Iowa he is for increasing jobs when he is in Detroit and he s for helping the poor when he s confronting hem. Most of All he is for Good  who can Lake Issue with that , for All of you who wonder what difference does in make what he does remember it s what he does not what he says that affects every one of us. An exception to this is when a candidate reverses his Point of View 10 cover his tracks. Also take care not to put too much Stock on whither or not he is Charis Matic. Flim Flam men arc charismatic. Jim Bakker is charismatic. Adolf i incr was charismatic. Be careful of Charisma. Look hard for signs of moral integrity ethics and yes someone who would find his mate important even though the passing of Lime has taken the Edge off some of her physical Beauty. When we learn to change wives like we do Acar then we indeed arc a morally bankrupt society and we deserve the kind of world we gel eds Eele Grafe Woehr Germany wine promotion article called offensive when i started Reading the article plan to boost . Wine May hike class i prices i thought this is just another Aili Lude Aboul a Price Bike but As 1 read on Money was t the Issue Here. I found it offensive that the article received front Page coverage. Not Only that but 1 found in offensive that California congressmen interested it seems in lining their own pockets could be allowed to raise such an Issue into the Law during a time when sobriety is such an important moral Issue in the military and elsewhere. To promote drinking it seems is acceptable As Long As the Label on the bottle reads made in America i wonder How these congressmen would feel if they were to find blood in their pockets instead of dollars when some poor military member is killed or kills another while intoxicated on the moneymaking Cali fornia grape name withheld mulch european edition col Jeffrey it Cook.
