Now in a military child care Center and the rules and regulations they incorporate give a false sense of Security. Tiev Are supposed to put these child care providers through an extensive background Check but that matter to the child who was abused.

Lee Kafir Tel Germany a a. A 4udv american o a. A. A during the recent memorial Day Holiday my Girlfriend and i visited the picturesque town of Rothenburg of Der Lauber to explore its ancient streets. While in a restaurant that afternoon we were subjected to the actions of two american couples seated about 30 feet away. As their children made a menace of themselves to other customers we were verbally assaulted by their talks of softball the Job Etc. Their conversation was loud enough to be heard throughout the entire restaurant no easy feat. Behaviour such As this is embarrassing and gives basis to the a ugly american image. A Patrick j. Mcgarry in Heidelberg German Wake up and bring news while l count on the stars and stripes for in depth coverage of the news i must rely on american forces network television for the a a top news stories of the Day. And therein lies a several years i have rolled out of bed at 4 . In order to catch the 5 . Newscasts. But no More. Even though schedules show these newscasts they Are routinely replaced by baseball basketball hockey Tennis and just about any other sport that comes Down the Pike. The schedule looks Good especially if some member of Congress asks the head of the american forces information service How much news the Are getting but daytime newscasts a when workers Are working a a should not be counted in the total. And since there is Little or no morning news we arc shuttled off to the 6 . Newscast. But this has been reduced to 10 minutes followed by 20 minutes of an Amateur show in which the subtleties of truck maintenance guard duty in Macedonia and other a first rate news items Are discussed and nausea. Sometimes after the viewers news hungry juices Are flow ing they will have Europe today a Motley collection of week old stories on the mysteries of Europe. If you want financial news Tunc in at 10 30 . When will the a news directory Wake. Up and smell the Coffee i made the ultimate step a a satellite dish. Thanks an.

A Steve Robatin Baum older Germany r editor s note no Choice on abortions arc we losing our religious Freedom a few Days ago the House health and human service subcommittee voted 11-7 to confirm that abortion would be included As part of pregnancy related services under the presidents proposed health care plan.
