Save a Hospital today was the first time when Reading letters to the editor that i Felt the urge to write one and Send it in. The letter that prompted this urge a err Echo the closing of Frankfurt Hospital a Frankfurt Hospital is an important facility to Many of us Here in Germany. It s comforting to know that if an emergency occurs we can go to a Hospital where we can understand what is being done for us or our family member in need. It is stressful enough in times of emergency to try to explain what happened or what the problem is without language barriers and medical procedures that Are so different from our own. � everyone needs to speak up about this and Tell their lawmaker How they feel about losing one More important Benefit Over Here. Hey it seemed to work for All the people who wanted a certain radio program it can t Hurt to try for some support Over something As important As the military s health care. You never know until you try. Elizabeth j. Young Butzbach Germany .-.,. Let s have Shock Jock recently i was entertained by the Rush Limbaugh debate on this Page. It seemed that armed forces network continually was saying that Limbaugh had a minimal audience no matter How Many letters came in no matter How Well his books were doing and no matter How Large his ratings really were. Congratulations Rush fans he s now on every week night from 10-11 . On an radio. While i m not particularly a big Lim Baugh fan i appreciate an s eventual concern with providing entertainment that reflects what is popular Back Home. However there seems to be something amiss in the office on programming atan. If they were to look at stateside ratings they would see someone even bigger or More popular than Limbaugh. If they were to look at the new York times bestsellers list they would find this same person on top of Limbaugh once again. If they were to open even the pages of the stars and stripes itself they would find out that this new year a pay per View record was shattered by none other than the pioneering Kingoff Shock radio Howard Stern. Unfortunately Stern lacks friends on Capitol Hill. You won t find Bob Dornan and other righteous politicians crying about the first amendment in Stern s Case. After All their Friend Limbaugh is already on the air. In fact Stern probably has More enemies on Capitol Hill than Saddam Hus Sein. These same Freedom fighters will most Likely attempt to be not so Public about their fight to keep Stern off the air if enough crybabies complain. Sgt. James c. Rivera Kirch Gons Germany. .-., biased against Rush the biased reporting of Rush Lim Baugh a arrival on armed forces net work reveals the nervous hostility of stripes reporters. No wonder. The readership is about to learn the Way thin sought to be and see that the stars and stripes is also infected by wannabees of the dominant left Wing Media culture. The unflattering photo of Rush which stripes has purposely used on two Occa Sions the caustic reporting about the Content of the first show and the implication that an s Herb Glover bases programming on the amount of thank you notes he gets from listeners Are transparent attempts at creating a we them controversy. A typical Liberal approach. Stripes can continue fanning the flames by asking Glover to determine whether the an television audience would rather watch rus i the television show or More Oprah and Donahue transvestite nun bungee jumpers on dope programs. The results of that poll will surely result in someone saying see i told you . Sullivan v. Kapaun air station Germany v soul searching needed i feet the need to respond to the statements made. By the gentleman who was bothered by the noisy children in Church. I too am Catholic and know How it can become noisy sometimes. But i feel he was unfair to the Mother he referred to As brain maybe she has been alone with three children for months on end and Church is her Only respite. Or maybe she is new in Iown and irn t aware that child care is available. It is not in All chapels. It is too bad the Man cup Len t have been Friendly enough Tonett the Young woman. Also i Don t believe that we should expect Young children to sit quietly for an hour. It is not physically possible for a Small child to remain still for Long periods of time. And As for the talking to the writer received As a child people now refer to that As child abuse. I Don t be Lieve that god expects children to be per feet. He wants them in his House. If the writer can t remember what it was like to be a child then maybe he should do a Little soul searching for god s guidance on How he could help people in the future rather than sit in judgment.

You do too. Come on admit it. Don to self righteous on me now. You have to want to see Harding and Nancy Kerrigan on the ice. Mano Amano. Feet to feet anyway. I want flying sequins and triple axes and even tire Irons. What a concept huh into the Foo Foo world of figure skating step two women who Plain Don t like each other. And if they re not quite ready to my male you know they re ready to skate their leotards off. Let s face it what other reason is there to watch the Winter olympics what you re a big luge fan personally i d rather watch Geraldo than downhill racing. Finally for the first time Ever the Winter olympics offers up some real drama. This Story has to end on the ice or even better in the courtroom. I love this Story. I love the Agatha Christie like twists and turns. That 5 the Beauty of this one. I understood that when i heard this mystery writer the other Day on National Public radio explain it. He said this Story was what mystery writers Call a cozy meaning you cozy up to the fire with your Book on an icy Winter s night and try to figure out who done it. This is a classic in the genre. You see there s no blood Here or severed body parts. Just a bruised knee no paranoid delusional opening fire on commute trains. No lunatics coming out of the stands to Stab a Tennis player. No drive by shoot Ings. For this once we go Back to the old verities greed and Arn Bitin. Finally we have a crime with motives Pecan understand. I you have to love this latest twist or was it a turn. Harding called a press conference thursday to announce that Well yeah she did know about the whacking but not until after the fact. There Harding was on television blinking Back tears and saying that we should t hate her just because she has some rough edges. She was innocent. And gosh of gee she just wanted to skate that s All. You believed her did t you she wanted to Tell the police i m sure. But she must have wanted to protector sex husband the Man she loves. Well he s the Man she loves when he in t beating her and when she in t seeking a court in Junction against him and when she in t actually divorcing him. Anyway the Story is that old sex Hubby was ready to give Harding up to the police in Exchange for a reduced sentence. Ais she guilty in t that getting a Little ahead of the Story i m taking this one Page at a time. The next chapter Lillehammer. C the Baltimore Sun last night i Czop Peppy keys in a inc Bahk.
