Ramstein a Germany Hospital signs needed i have had the unfortunate Opportunity to seek medical care in locations other than our dispensary. Twice in one week i drove to medical facilities at least 30 minutes away from our Cavern. My preoccupation docs not lie in the fact t h at these Spe i Ali Zed Ca re fact 1 i t ies i.e., paediatrician gynaecologist Are not available at our dispensary but that the facilities that do offer these services do not have directional signs on highways and intersections. Editor s note 1 we encourage our readers a especially those who have never submitted a letter a to write to us. Letters expressing readers viewpoints Are published Dally on this Page. All letters must be signed and include address and Telephone number preference is Given feb Shorter letters so that More can be published in a timely manner. We Reserve the right to edit letters for clarity length and taste. Send to letters to the editor the stars and stripes unit 29480, Apo a 09211. One Early Friday morning after driving approximately l i hours from my Home to the Heidelberg Hospital i proceeded to exit through the Patrick Henry Village exit off autobahn 5. A directional sign pointed right for the Hospital. No further directions were available throughout my 20-minute ride that Lead me All the Fay up the Heidelberg Castle. After the hour of driving Back and Forth to see if perchance i had missed a sign i stopped an american plated vehicle and with tears in my eyes offered him $5 to show me the route to the Hospital. He did not take the Money but did drive me straight to the Entrance of the Hospital. A. To my dismay there in front of the Hospital a sign pointed to the facility. However from Patrick Henry Village until that Point there were no signs. If the draw Down has had an Impact on the medical services that we Are to receive then someone should take the initiative to install directional signs to major hospitals that Are providing care for dispensaries that do not have specially clinics. Luckily my appointment was not a life or death situation. I would hate to wonder How Many other people have been lost trying to locate a Hospital or medical facility a Judith e. Morales Babenhausen Germany. A a the unborn Are people much Praise has been lavished upon retiring Justice Harry Blackmun regarding his ability to get a a. In touch with the human beings behind the principles being argued and focusing on the a a. Actual people whose lives were touched by the commentary Anthony Lewis april 13. Professor Harold Koh who was a Law clerk for Blackmun was quoted in the same article As saying a the decided to give his voice to the excluded and powerless.�?�. Unborn children meet All criteria for life established by the Harvard medical school. Two of those criteria Are a detectable heartbeat and brain wave activity. Both Are met by 5vi weeks gestational age about the time pregnancy is suspected. Specifically the brain wave activity is distinctly individual and indicates meaningful mental activity the child in Uteri is now known by medical research to be a feeling remembering aware being who responds intelligently to stimuli. It is even possible to teach the unborn for which there Are established schools in the United states and Europe. In Short the unborn Are people. /. a a. A v a a a the irony is that in authoring Roe is. Wade Blackmun failed to consider half the humans a a. Behind the principles being he did not see that his actions would not Only a a touch but forfeit Over 20 million lives to Date. Who is More excluded and powerless in ouf society than the unborn a Linda a Forster Mannheim Germany i commentary by Daniel Schorr in the end one is left wondering How so Brilliant a Man could have been so self destructive As though the architect of stunning victories also had to be the author of his. Own Down fall i am thinking hot the watergate cover and the missteps that led Richard Nixon to hang himself politically with his own Oval office tape. I am thinking also and More personally about the idiotic a enemies list and the wiretap lists and in my Case the Fri investigation that ended up As an in the House of representatives Bill of impeachment. He seemed to thrive More on adversity than Success. On the night of his 1972 landslide re election i noted How strangely grim he looked responding to the wild ovation he received at his Campaign Headquarters. Next Day he called together his cab met and without any time out for self congratulation announced to them a shake up aimed at bringing departments More directly under his control a a control seemed the key to under mom. You cant believe Hou in Tel amp support i be econ 0et7 n6, standing Nixon. He sought to control everything around him. He divided his world into supporters and he told his aides that they must see to it there were no a a surprises during the 1972 Campaign. That led to the watergate break in an Effort to learn what a a surprises might Lurk in democratic Headquarters. Comebacks were his specially and the most amazing Campaign he waged was a 20-year Campaign to be an elder statesman. A it was carefully orchestrated from his first Public appearance 13 months after his resignation on a California a Golf course. Then he plunged Back into foreign affairs visiting Moscow and Beijing where he had always been treated like a hero and made comfortable. He had always displayed a greater interest in americans global condition than americans human condition. It seemed easier for him to deaf with maps than with persons. But in that Campaign he forced himself to Deal with people a even journalists a in a Friendly manner. And so he contrived a reconciliation with me having me invited to dinners where he gave briefings on Russia giving me an interview for National Public radio and a few weeks ago inviting me to participate in the Richard Nixon foreign policy Institute he was planning to create. A a a a a a a. A a a a that was to have culminated his Long March Back to Washington a that and having been received by president Clinton at the White House. He did not live to see his own think tank in the nations capital. But he left his Monument in nine books the last of them titled beyond peace completed shortly before his death. Quot. He was a Brilliant restless brooding Man with an image to. Dominate and a rage to half a Century he hovered Over America and for those of the Nixon generation he is a presence it is hard to believe is gone. Schorr senior analyst for National Public radio served As a correspondent for lbs during the Nixon presidency. C new Day. This in t a Choc atm Pau no with Hafs a its who 1 am cant you even try to under Stan what i might be a mom Honey. Promise me you a see a spec Aust. worse. \
