In fact he never talked about sex or pornographic films. A Anita Hill on the other hand made it very Clear that she wanted to get to know me on a social and personal level and acted in a Way that is in my opinion totally at Odds with her claims that she was the victim of sex Ual  returning to the witness chair saturday Thomas elaborated in response to questions by sen. Orrin Hatch a Utah. A these Are charges that play into racist bigoted stereotypes about Black men. Hatch then led him through a de tailed listing of Hills charges.

The students cheered when Thomas spoke of having been Able to obtain one of inc finest educations available in the country. Students cheered at the University of Oklahoma Campus in Norman As they watched Hill make her Way into the Senate hearing room. Then they grew quiet and watched intently. Support ran High at the school where she has taught Law since 1986, a there is nothing she can gain from this a said one of the students Mike re Nyer. A she is a tenured  elsewhere there was less partisanship and less cheering. People watched in grim fascination knowing that at least one of the two a Thomas or Hill a could leave the hearing stripped of Pride and reputation. A my reaction right now is just kind of sadness a said Deborah prune Jones a lawyer in Topeka kan., who watched in her office. She likened it to a rape Case. A her credibility is on trial Quot she said of Hill. But she added a a it a a terrible predicament for both of  memories from Page 1 she met during her Early years there and said she once scared away burglars who were breaking into the canteen in the building where she lived. The army is giving up the Post a Century after it was completed. The Northern Section was built Between 1881 and 1885, and the Southern Section Between 1889 and 1891. Germans know it As Reinhardt Cavern a name it received in 1933. Until recently Valdez housed a school a housing office a property Book office and part of a consolidated maintenance Center. The last . Army personnel left the Post in Midsummer As did the other four tenant employees. After that Fumo was left alone with her collection of dolls wooden rabbits hags religious portraits and James Dean hoosiers. Riled by her plight but chained to a primitive command of English she scribbled the words a Aback off bad men in several places inside and outside her apartment to express unhappiness about having to leave. The Community is sensitive to Fumoy a wishes but her continued presence at Valdez is both expensive and risky Jackson said. Electrical plumbing and heating systems that supported both Valdez and Karls Cavern another Small Post the army already has closed Are functioning now Only for Fumo. Also because the Post is otherwise vacant military police patrols must make special trips to the Post to make sure she is All right. The Community transferred Fumoy a Job to Wallace Barracks and offered her four different apartments in Stuttgart three of them larger than her current one Jackson said. Fumo said she has not accepted one yet but she signed an agreement to move out of Valdez by oct. 30 anyway. The Community now Hopes to give the Post to the germans on nov. 4. A Community commanders 1989 directive to move All tenant employees into Grenadier Cavern never achieved its goal Jackson said. Some tenants still live on other local facilities. The Community is working on a plan to relocate them More efficiently in Case other posts close. A first of All we have to identify the magnitude of the problem. There will be specific guidance Given to All the Sud communities a he said. Jackson emphasized that the Community always has regarded on Post employee lodging As a temporary measure a solution that would last Only As Long As the employee worked for the army or unti the army developed other priorities to the living space. Fumo said she will leave As promised but if the germans done to do anything with the Valdez property she plans to return next year to Plant Flowers there. �?o1 Tell those people do whatever us a want in a coming Back
