A pious pish posh in his commentary Quot finding an antidote to Madonna Janet Jackson a Cal Thomas preaches that a too May adults meaning those who support condom distribution in schools Nave Given up on teen agers and resigned them to a addiction to their glands simply because they Are attracted to the antics of divas Madonna and Jackson. His antidote for our sexually misguided teens accepting a Christ As. Savior and signing a Small card in front of parents pledging chastity until marriage. Thomas and his holy henchmen a group calling itself the organizers of the True love Waits Are encouraging teens to step Forward to Trade in their condoms for chastity pledge cards. Seems in be heard this sort of pious Pis posh before in fact it goes Back a few years like a Mil Benium or two. If its an antidote to Madonna and Janet Jackson he s after May i humbly suggest a much simpler Catholic on a change the Channel. A Richard Vincent Clevres Belgium a a a. A a University lauded the University of Mainland in Europe has at times a taken a seating in the stars and stripes. As with any bureaucracy a customer May sometimes feel swallowed up in the quagmire of their workload however there is another Side to the us Story. I have had several dealings with the student financial services department and have often found willing listeners and reasonable people when i needed to Call the Heidelberg office. They have More than once waived rigid procedures and made exceptions which Ted to customer oriented solutions. I took the time to let them know exactly How a specific oversight affected me and my ability jul attend school. They were neither defensive nor rude a Only courteous and eager to provide a timely solution to the problem. If customer oriented service is the Issue us is heading in the right direction. A tech. Sgt Chris l. Sigle Raf Mildenhall England a a Rush seeks truth Rush Limbaugh is indeed relentless in the Pursuit of the truth and he always backs up his claims with verifiable facts. For example when president Clinton announced last december that he would have to give up the Middle class tax because the budget deficit estimated had a unexpectedly Quot jumped from $260 billion to $320 billion it was Rush who first pointed to the july 6, 1992, business week article in which Clinton estimated the deficit to be around $420 billion. When he Calls mrs. Clinton an Ultra Liberal pushing a Radical left Agenda he cites reports from the Washington times claiming Hillary so charitable Organiza a a a Etc. About Quot Hymi Etown and his association with the outspoken anti semitic Louis Farahkhan. The real problem with rushes detract tors is they have been so used to hearing Only the Liberal Point of View that they can no longer hear the truth. Consequently they must resort to the childish remarks about or. Limbaugh a weight or fabricate completely unfounded charges of racism against Rush and his supporters. I just wish they a grow up. A Marke. Jaworowski Frankfurt Germany. A a a a a. A Check Reading programs i read Cal Thomas article concerning Reading in the Public school with interest and i found it interesting to see a response in  the writer May have come from a school District or a state that encourages the teaching of phonics but to paraphrase Dorothy Quot this ainu to Kansas  nor is it South Dakota California or any other state where the school districts have opted for the approach of a whole language education. I sat through Parent teacher discussions and a school Board meeting where the Quot whole language concept was being presented eventually voted on and accepted. When asked if phonics was a part of the lesson plan the answer was no. Off the record parents were told by teachers that they would integrate phonics whenever possible but the company answer was phonics is out. What cat Thomas wrote is matter of fact in the school districts throughout to Al country. Schools and school districts have been sold a Bill of goods by some hard charging publishers that Are changing the Way Reading is taught. If you have been under the umbrella of department of defense dependent schools any length of time and Are returning to the states then you May have to Check with the school District you will be residing in and ask what Type of Reading program is encouraged and taught. A Leroy a. Trusty Rhein main a Germany a a a perfect role models there Are two Good things that May come of the innocent verdicts of Damian m. Williams and Henry k. Watson during the Reginald o. Denny beating trial. First they can personally instruct the los Angeles police on to e proper Way of subduing and apprehending victims Pun intended that is if they Are not preoccupied with hiring a writer to produce their autobiographies or if the los Angeles police department wanted to save Money they could Purchase the Denny beating tapes As training aides on How to subdue a violent Quot person. Secondly these two outstanding citizens can be role models for the children of South Central los Angeles Rodney g. King and sex police officers Stacey c. Koon and Laurence m. Powell. A Robert Haywood Wurzburg Germany no to ions tunnelled thousands of dollars to he a go Elillas in Al Salvador duri"8 protest will mar Holiday when Jesse Jackson demanded that Marge Schott be banned from baseball it was Rush and Only Rush who pointed to or. Jackson s very own racial remark me but when they chose a Holiday nov. A 11, so As not to interrupt classes. As a private citizen i have no objection to the teachers protesting what they believe is a poor pay system. However As the commander of the american legion department of France i do not agree that protest of any sort let alone at a . Military installation in Europe is appropriate on this particular Day. This Day now called veterans Day in the United states and remembrance Day in Canada is still called armistice Day in Many countries in Europe. It is set aside to Honor the veterans of All wan and pay special homage to those who have fallen for the cause of Freedom throughout the world. In View of the world strife that still surrounds us and out of respect for our oldest As Well As our newest and youngest veterans let not this Day be marred by a pay protest. This year is especially significant. It Marks the 75th Ann venary or the signing of the armistice that ended world War i in Europe. Let us keep this Day in solemn remembrance of those who gave their lives in that great conflict. Protest if you must but Why not pick a weekend a not nov. 11. A Walt land Kaiserslautern Germany photo defended i feel i must write in reference to the photo you printed oct. 6.1 am frustrated with All the derogatory comments readers have been writing. I applaud you for. Doing your Job to inform your readers. Your picture Wasny to half As Quot disgusting or Quot reprehensible As the readers wrote As the american forces network for showing can which aired live with Yelling Ana clapping somalis. They showed this at least tour times that Day and the Day after. I done to see can apologizing to its viewers. This is real life and we cannot turn our backs away from it where were All these people who cared about respect when there were photos shown of dead somalis a or Are they not considered being degraded by the Media just like the americans a tip to they human beings too real a Ouid you rather the newspaper sugarcoat everything to your liking be Vistic.
