Magic Johnson magic should protest i families with a developmental delayed child in this age Range have to Transfer to another area to Access these kinds of services. This is disruptive to the family and expensive for the military. It often results in considerable delay before the child can actually be enrolled in the program. Shifting teachers and resources from closing areas to Baum older would allow this kind of program to be established and this would Benefit Many children and families Over the coming years magic Johnson a decision to Partick ate in the olympics in Barcelona pain is to be applauded. If he is physically Able Why  he however there is one important reason Why he . I wonder if magic and the International olympic committee Are aware of the policy of the immigration and naturalization service under the Reagan Bush administrations. If the olympics were being held in the United states no known his positive athlete would be permitted to enter the United states. Spain of course has no such policy. It was because of this policy that the recent International aids conference had to be moved out of the United states. Perhaps As a member of president Bush a aids commission magic Johnson should refuse to go to the olympics in protest of the . Policy. Magic went Public to try to make a difference. This is his Chance to do just that. A Alfred w. Wilson Frankfurt Germany viewer wrestles an it was saturday afternoon. I was sitting there in front of my to awaiting the Start of my favorite Snow Whf superstars of wrestling. Impatiently i waited clothed in my weft shirt and proudly wearing the Hulk Amania Bandanna i purchased at an event in the states. I was a body slamming a few Beers and dreaming of a clothes lining the undertaker when it occurred to me. It was 3 05 . And the show Hadnot started yet. I hurried and checked the television schedule. Yep wrestling should have started at 2 55 . But that Wasny to Jake a the Snake Roberts i saw letting a Macho Many Randy Savage pet his King cobra. It was a Bunch of wimps getting some kind of singing awards. Yes its True. I was dated by an. A Sal Wisener Stuttgart Germany shift services while the draw Down is causing Many problems it also provides opportunities for upgrading services at remaining bases. For instance i see children with developmental disabilities at Baum older which is a Large base that is not scheduled for closing. We see Many children in the 3-to-5-year age Range who would Benefit from a developmental preschool program yet this does not exist. Robert w. Chamberlin .

Help save the Earth i am a fifth grader at Butzbach elementary and i go to a special class called tag talented and gifted. And in tag the other students mrs. Kennedy our teacher and i discussed saving the Earth we will try to save the Earth and i would like other people to help also. Recycling paper could save thousands of Trees.

During the Day keep your lights off to save electricity. And Aono to use too much water. I Don t want to live on a polluted Earth and i know you done to either. A Jacqueline Finch Trais Mainz Coburg Germany help save dolphins in the Dodds school system we have been having lectures about the killing of dolphins in tuna nets. We were also told that we could write to the commissioners of fishing and environment to help save them. Europe is 40% of the worlds tuna Market. If everybody wrote two letters one to the commissioner of fisheries and the other to the commissioner of the environment 90% of the worlds tuna Market will be Dolphin Safe. To help write to or.

Carlo Ripa i Meana commissioner for the environment the european commission Rue de la Loi 200, 1049 Brussels Belgium. A Kara Baer Bonn Germany old is. New for months i have been wondering Why the defense department is closing Down military installations in top condition. And Dod has kept some installations that Are so substandard that letters to the editor would not in my wildest dreams have my enemies live and work there Here in Gellhausen we have an empty Cavern. We used to have four battalions Here with approximately 4,000 soldiers. The Only old buildings Are the former no club and brigade Headquarters. The rest of the approximately 20 big buildings Are Between 3 and 10 years old. A new heating Plant serves the occupied housing area and the empty Cserne. And there Are indoor maintenance facilities for m1a1 tanks and Bradley armoured vehicles and a converted motor Pool. But Dod has decided that we have to give it up. We still have cavalry and Bradley right around the Corner about 10 Kilometres from Gellhausen. Many soldiers who were stationed in Gellhausen were transferred to binding in. Now the tanks and Bradley have to be driven 10 Kilometres one Way when they go to Field exercises. Is this a Good Way to save Money of course not. It will take thousands if not millions to bring the other Cavern up to Normal standards but in Gellhausen you have Only the costs of maintenance. A Maria Coppadge Gellhausen Germany time to Start voting How Many times have you wished you could pick your own supervisor in my 18-year career that thought has crossed my mind Many times.
