Justin Abold Ramstein High school Captain answered a differential question from calculus correctly but in a different notation from the answer on the card held by the Moderator. She therefore labelled it incorrect and before 1 could object properly offered the question to the opposing Wiesbaden team. David Miller Wiesbaden co Captain promptly repeated the Correct answer in the alternate notation but added that the answer Given by his opponent was Correct As Given. For his sportsmanlike action David received an immediate enthusiastic Rund of applause from the largely student audience. David s action is All the More commendable both for having occurred during the intense final rounds of Competition Between the first and second place teams and for exemplifying his personal growth at the games. If both his honesty and the teen response to his honesty Are typical of our Best and brightest teen agers they Are setting a Fine example that if contagious among the rest bodes Well for the future of America. A Ken Vanlew head judge academic games Frankfurt German for 2nd amendment the author of the letter a kill 2nd amendment is right As far As stating people will always kill each other. As Long As there is greed and hatred among society this stands to be True. If it s not guns its knives clubs pipes bombs gasoline Bare hands arrows rocks dynamite Etc. Get my Drift i choose to have the right to Bear firc arms under the Bill of rights that was submitted originally sept. 25, 1789, to clarify certain individual and states rights not named in the Constitution. I vehemently oppose changes to take away my right to own a weapon to defend myself my family or if need be the Public. It is Well known to other countries that the civilian populace has the right to Bear arms and carries quite a deterrence to any unnecessary aggression. A Donald Choate Illus him Germany worry and the sadness you Felt upon finding your a a baby bleeding and Hurt. I do not understand the ruling of the maps. I thought a witness was a witness. If a neighbor witnessed you throwing rocks at this boy would the maps dismiss their testimony because they Are a third party i think not. Have you thought of going to the German police they highly frown on animal abuse. Even it they cannot help maybe someone in the my status will take notice of the situation if you cause some Waves. Once again in a so sorry for your Kitty. I Hope All is Well.

Letters to the editor someone who complains if you Light up a cigarette within 20 Yards while they Are sitting there Piggin out on a Greasy hamburger and Salty Fries. These same people then go Back to live in los Angeles where the pollution is twice As bad As cigarette smoke. They complain if you Light up while on an air plane but do not realize that the radiation one receives while at 37,000 feet is worse for them than five rows of cigarette smoke. After he retired even c. Everette Koop admitted that while statistics show that smoking is a health negative some people just live longer than others. While i would never encourage anyone to begin smoking i believe that More premature deaths Are due to unnecessary stress rather than cigarette smoke. . Hunter Lof Elscheid Germany a helping romanian kids readers action line recently provided information on two organizations providing Relief to Romania. Your readers May be interested to know that the association for Young children Europe . Has an outreach project that provides support to an orphanage in Slatina Romania. In addition to transporting Medicine food and supplies directly to the orphanage .

We Are Normal people that take the time to understand the weapon we own take the time to train and be proficient with the weapon we own. I think that is what separates your so called gun nuts and what i Call gun owners. A Christopher Mcneely Bamberg Germany e sympathy for Hurt Kitty 1 am Wrt Tiftz to the woman who wrote about a a a bully attacking her 6-month-old Kitten with rocks. Her neighbors witnessed the act and the maps More or less refused to get involved. Having my own a a baby i just wanted to cry when i heard what had been done to your Kitty. I hate to imagine the suit almost a ludicrous i just read an article a watering Lawn okd a and i Felt i had to write. I have some very mixed feelings about abortion. What i am writing about is the people who Are protesting. They Are operating on the principle that the squeaking wheel will get the Oil. Well we once had a dripping faucet that defied All attempts at repair. After a while we were Able to just tune it out. These protesters Are on the verge of being tuned out and Are turning to tactics that Are drawing attention away from their cause. Filing a suit to prevent an abortion clinic from watering its Lawn Borders on the ludicrous. Regardless of the moral Issue abortion is still Legal. I am a firm believer in the Constitution and if these people want a Law changed they should take their fight to the vote and not infringe on the rights of others. A Paul a. Jager Hahn Germany a blinded by smoke your recent article a a pack of reasons Why smokers smoke was rather amusing. While the article pointed out that smoking is an extremely difficult habit to break the interviews you published seemed to be. Limited to those persons who had somewhat lame excuses for starting continuing smoking. Did you interview some Korea Vietnam War veterans during those conflicts Uncle Sam sent us cigarettes along with our rations. Many Young troops who had never smoked before started then. Now Uncle Sam says those of us who still smoke Are second class citizens. We Are literally a left out in the cold if we want to smoke. I believe in being courteous to those who do not smoke and will try my Best not to bother them. But i think some non smokers push the limits of rationality. There is nothing More irritating than handicaps. In cooperation with two German High schools and a Church in the Darmstadt area . Has supported three trips to the orphanage and is planning additional trips in the future. . Is a non profit organization composed primarily of americans living in Europe who work with and advocate for Young children. It is an affiliate of the National association for the education of Young children. Individuals and organizations wishing to contribute to this Effort May Send contributions to .
