November 18.1987 column today s Cross word does pleasure bring happiness by Andy Rooney my old classmate Howard Hageman who has done very Well in religion was the guest preacher Ai the Church in our Liny upstate new York town. 1 liked Howard in school and i was curious about How he did it so i went to Church. When 1 knew Howard Best he Wai manager of our undefeated High school football team. He went to Harvard and subsequently became president of the new Brunswick theological Seminary. There were 39 people in Church a not lev Good cd nov Howard greeted the congregation and then before asking the member to Pray and realizing some of the people had come a distance to hear him said thai if anyone had to go to the bathroom after the service they could do it at the Palmer House cafe just up the str i. The Palmer House is one of the Best things thai Ever happened to our Lown. It s a serious Little restau rant that has even arranged to get the sunday papers so we no longer have to drive 12 mites for them. Sunday morning i can pick up tour fresh baked Cin Namon danish and the new York times by s . When the restaurant opened two years ago it was having trouble a log a quor License because in was less than the 200-foot stale mandated distance from the Church. The Palmer House has a wine License now and in appears As if it has arrived at some quid pro quo with lie Church the people who Prav can go to the Bath room at the restaurant and the restaurant can have a wine License Only 198 feet from the last Pew. Howard has gained a lot of weight but he has gained a Tot of presence too. He s no Jimmy swag gait but he knows How to do it. He began by speaking to us about the lord and was very professional with his change of Pace and change of volume. He would speak softly for a minute and then with a dramatic gesture my up the volume and shout at us. He was stood and never a � com for words. During the prayer Howard matted on the lord to end All wars heal the sick console the grieving and give his Blessing to this country and this  i la be interested to see what happen. The theme of Howard s Sermon posed the question of whether people Are happier now than they were 200 years ago Lien our Infalt Low n a Mun ii. He said that just because we have All these instr Mentor pleasure does t mean we re happier. " pleasure he said is doing what we like to  there was a Clear implication in his Sermon that this could Lead us to what he called the hell of  being myself a pleasure seeker i was uneasy. Howard was Tough on us sinners and t was pleased to note at lunch thai Howard himself is mortal. When he smoked 10 instrument of pleasure in a Lille More than an hour. Al Tribune Madia Sarvi Caa Ginsburg gone but Nof forgotten by Art Buchwald judge Ginsburg May no longer be in the washing Ion spotlight but he is far from Togo then. The Rumor is that mrs. Edwin Meuse is going to write a Lener to the president asking him to Pardon Ginsburg for smoking marijuana in his youth. To the meantime a Astaire Ginsburg As we Call it has left deep wounds in the nation s capital. It has turned liberals against conservatives and conservatives against i in craps and pragmatists against True believers. In the past liberals have had a fairly Loose attitude about smoking marijuana while conservatives have viewed pot pullers As agents of the Devil. But since judge Ginsburg revealed that he had used grass at Harvard everyone seems to have lost his ideological Compass. I happened la be Ai a bipartisan party the Day after Ginsburg confessed to using a foreign substance White leaching Law at Harvard. Dabney a fighting Liberal was horrified. I m shocked beyond words he said. How round we have a supreme court Justice who is turning on template whom we All think of As the conserva Tive s conservative was defensive. The Man had a few reefers when he was a student. Surely we Are a forgiving nation he said. Dabney was finding it difficult to control his 1cmper. That s easy for you to say because conservatives have no regard for Law and order. But nobody knows How a Man or woman will Rule on the supreme court once he s had a last of the Weed. I could not in Good conscience support a Pothead. We liberals owe that much to Nancy  template threw his hands in the air. We can t judge people by what they smoked in the 60s. Even the president says it is not Ginsburg s deed but his confession that counts. Besides if grass was t Good for your health Why would cows eat it i intervened. I Don t understand it i said. The liberals Are dead set against the use of marijuana and the conservatives Are All for it. Is it possible this has More to do with politics than with smoking template said it s typical of the liberals to kill a Reagan appointment because he had some Acapulco Gold in his youth. I la Lell you something. I would Raiher have a supreme court Justice who relates in his Chambers with a cigarette than one who is against prayer in the schools. Dabney the Liberal was not having any of in. Marijuana is the most serious Issue to face the supreme court since Dork s Beard. I Don t care what a Man thinks he said. It s what he puts in his Mouth that counts. For All i know Ginsburg could have been a great Justice but i would t want to have to Check out the plants in his window boxes every Lime he wrote an  across 1 German cnmposer4 Signun 7 Hil Linle dugout 8 electric calflshrs10 record Case 11 court decreea18 cowboys and dolphins Reet Tinl it Chest sounds 18 tit for 19 it we a Good year 20 depend21 Raman 30 Church vestment33 social upon group 38 shed 37 German River 3� takes the bus 39 South african grassland40cipek robot pub i Nices Euon Down 1 Monk s Superior 2 very dry a wine 3 ancient Tam Bourne 9  12 deep Blue fnnkle6 male red deer6fixe 7uhtplant 8 revive us Lariver is Fig s Dlvgi 19 Force lot mall a Cuvo 21thcf1ynn21 Dresner unit solution Tine 20 Moltu. 23 poet Robert 26 blunders 2 1 flblwd27 Bikini top 38 makes whole yesterday s answer 11-18 through out shy Ike 21 recede Zub lakes in Italy i Nail of Northern India 29 go on stage 30 nimble 31 actor john32 Busy insect 34 lion s Retreat 35 egyptian season the far Side Bukow How us a Effie tvo a tbsp kissing two program Gnu uses Ahw cwt geez ice w them Cher is wefts faces whw1b, there s it  Here i just vim it foul Cawi
