Ill conceived ruling while watching the news on an i was shocked by a disturbing supreme court decision buried in the live coverage about the airstrike against Iraq. It concerned the 5-4 decision upholding the right of anti abortion groups to Block the doors of legally operating abortion clinics Quot. ,. A when the right of peaceable Assembly interferes with a Legal business practice in my mind it is not peaceable and sets a dangerous precedent. Anti abortion advocates justify their action of blocking clinics As protest against actions they consider morally repugnant. By the same logic a religious organization can now Block the doors of a Bookstore Selling a morally repugnant books Parent watchdog groups could Block record stores. Radio or television emissary Jan. 8. 1 thought i was the Only one who had experienced such a shoppers Nightmare. At the Mannheim commissary i am constantly finding items on the shelves that Are expired of Are going to expire within a week after getting them Home. T one Day i went into the Mannheim ing in line i read the Fox. To my Surprise the coupons on the Back of the Box read a expiration Date 28 november 1988/ amazed i still purchased the Box of dog treats so that i could confront the manager he did not give an explanation. 1 would like to see a team of inspectors go through commissaries such As this one and take this garbage out. A Nodie Brockway Mannheim Germany stations airing the a a wrong shows or shops Selling the a a wrong products might grateful for mail find office and loading docks blocked with protestors chained to the doors. Anti abortion groups might even find their own offices blocked now. That this is an accepted method of protest. This decision is a Black Day for personal Liberty both to those who operate and to those who patronize Legal businesses. Congress should act immediately to reverse this ill conceived judgment. A airman 1st class James a. Kiacz Rota Spain a. A \ a a Gays need help 1 served eight years in the Marine corps and was honorable discharged five years ago and in be never knowingly met a homosexual in the service. 1 have met a few homosexuals in the civilian sector who stepped out of the closet when their jobs were in danger. They yelled discrimination and threatened lawsuits to keep their jobs. They had always been sus pc cd of their sexual preference and no one card until they made it an Issue. I Felt very uncomfortable and angry toward these so called a a Gays arid do not care to work with them. I feel that the a tial rights for Gays. Issue just Means special privileges for the abnormal. 1 wish president Clinton would create a program offering psychological help to All Lobosc Xuat and t Hope they would seek spiritual assistance. John w. Cole Mannheim Germany i would like to extend my thanks to the postal employees at in Ciurlik a Turkey. They extended their hours during the busiest time of year especially on Christmas eve. I would never have received my package if it weren to for these people. A senior airman Cindy Carter in Ciurlik a Turkey a a. A. Ford has separate sales i would like to Correct something misleading in a letter advocating a Boycott of overseas military sales group new car sales outlets. The writer suggested to those considering the Purchase of a new car that they patronize other tax free dealers such As Saab Volvo Toyota Bow or Mercedes. Perhaps the writer and most others do not realize that Ford military sales is a separate organization and is not connected to oms. The Only similarity Between the two is the fact that both Are cafes contractors. 1 began working for Ford military sales in december after my retirement from the army. My contract is with Nie Dormair amp Reich Ford in Munich Ger study of greek and latin word roots prefixes and suffixes. Feedback from Stu dents who had taken the course and who later took the sat Scholastic aptitude test or act american College test in preparation for College was very positive they Felt that their study of etymology had helped them do Well on the very important verbal skills Section of the tests. The students were Able to a a decoder High level vocabulary on the tests and considered the permanent increase in their personal vocabularies almost a Side Benefit. Had i known of Robertson a Book theh i would have used it As the text in my class As it contains exactly the mated Al required for a Good etymology class. The purpose of the Book is not to teach the vocabulary per be but rather the Mastery of roots prefixes and suffixes the keys to thousands of words made up of these components. Give me a fish and f can eat for a Day teach me to fish and can eat Ford lifetime the material is presented in such a Way that is possible to pick the Book up for casual reference and end up spending an hour engrossed in it. Robertson s words for a Modem age should be on the reference Reading list of anyone wishing to master the tools of vocabulary expansion for business educational or personal reasons. A John m. Lyon Berlin a canes Lack discipline i done to share Many of John Eisenberg a opinions in his commentary a cheer the canes for their Talent Pec. 31 yes perhaps 1 m Hur Ricar Many. There Are several regional dealers in Germany that manage the sales program on military installations in their awareness is growing in response to a homosexuality growing Jan 1/21 have to disagree. Homosexuality and bisexuality have always been part of the american culture or any society. People have always turned their backs or ignored something that is against their personal beliefs or that might cause controversy within their social groups. Homosexuality is not growing or spreading but rather the Peoples awareness and understanding of it is. A airman 1st class Timothy w. Dyson Rhein main a Germany a a deplores outdated items 1 was not surprised to read about expired goods on the shelves of the com area. We have an extensive service network throughout Europe. During my interview i was told several times that the two most important characteristics of Ford representatives were truthfulness to the customer and to always be in the office when we Are supposed to be there. I have been working in the Vilseck area for nearly two months and have yet to hear any complaints concerning sales practices or dealer service. I Felt compelled to bring this information to your attention and share it with your readers. A Kenny j. Cockrum. Firth Germany ,. A a a words of Wisdom please allow me to add a few words about o Book mentioned in your letters Section a few weeks ago after Reading about Robertson s words for a modern age 1 obtained a copy and would like to share with your readers my enthusiasm for an excellent Book for several years in the states 1 taught a High school course in etymology the we should recognize the Miami hurricanes for their sneer excellence. Perhaps a scads of players Are on schedule to perhaps there will also be Many More to follow in Dexter Manley a footsteps learning How to read after College. Many teams with sheer Talent have come up Short As Miami has before. Miami so in your face attitude May be motivational and May have spread to other teams but it does not guarantee Success against a proven team with real discipline. Real discipline is provided by the coach a the team Leader who was so unjustly treated in Eisenberg s commentary. The insinuation that players should be paid while in College is dangerous. We should never forget that the main reason for attending a University is to get an education not to meet babes get away from mom and dad or play football. A the sheer excellence of the hurricanes has come up Short once again. Rather than knuckle Down they talked trash and were soundly beaten. William or.
