Help America s children Adam Walsh Polly Klaas Elora Mckemy Cora Jones. The list continues to grow. Each of these children was kid. Napped tortured murdered and their bodies dumped. 1 by Nerica a children Are not the Only victims of this sequence of crimes Over the past months we have heard of and seep pictures of adults who suffered the same Fate they were kidnapped tortured murdered and their bodies dumped. But these adults were not americans they were haitians and this same crime sequence was referred to As a human rights violation. Our president is willing to Boycott and even invade another country to Stop such atrocities from happening to foreign born adults. Who is going to Stop these atrocities from happening to our children master sgt. Carmen Kolz Kapaun air station Germany Farewell Europe a letter to you must be the Best Way to say a proper fare Well to Europe a especially if one has been Reading the stars and stripes daily since dec. 10, 1944. This was the Day the 66th inf div arrived in the United kingdom beginning an incredible Saga that for one of its men will finally end with a trip to a Home of record in Catasauqua pa., on oct. 4,1994. Being perhaps the very last of the a Panther division to retire from Mili Tail and then Federal civilian service in Europe my personal Odyssey has Jed me across the Channel of Christmas eve 1944, barely missing disaster at sea the divisions 262th inf regt embarked on the belgian liner Leopold Ville which was torpedoed and sunk within sight of Cherbourg France that dreadful holy night out to besiege the nazi submarine base at Lorient in Brittany on to Baum older in Germany after Victory in Europe Back to Southern France in summer and from there to Austria in october 1945. Teh years in the charming City of Vienna were followed by 39 years Here in the Pfalz at Kaiserslautern and Miessau. A v along the Way there were always interesting arid useful ordnance assignments and innumerable niches to explore select and serve in. So much to earn so much to see and try to appreciate. The a a jobs i had All Strung together have yielded a precious Host of friends arid co workers american austrian German and never to be forgotten labor service civilian support men. And women from just about every country in Eastern Europe. Long after the memory of the exotic equipment we had and the Complex processes we used has faded i shall remember the people i worked for pc agree wholeheartedly. It would not bother us if baseball never returned neither Side deserves the million or so that seems to be at the heart of the dispute a however our sentiment or Lack thereof for baseball is not Why we Are writing. We be noticed american forces network scrambling to find things to air in the absence of the a great american  while we be enjoyed the selection of old a movies we have some suggestions. How about airing taped broadcasts of the Chicago symphony orchestra or the metropolitan opera or maybe some musicals such As the King and i or West Side Stoyl How about it variety is after All the spice of  _ David King Bamberg Germany and those who worked with me these people gave meaning to it All Quot our Mission in Europe has indeed been accomplished. With the russian regiment in Berlin singing Lebewohl deutschland As they paraded one last time and headed Home with the German.

A commentary la n d by Mike littwin Mickev mouse just got his Tail kicked. Quot a a a. Now you ask who in the wide wide world of sports would want to do  do you think. It was an unholy Alliance of fat cats tree Hugger pointy headed  and other assorted in american types. That a who. And it just Fries my Bacon. You know the Story. Walt Disney not simply a company but an institution so american that Apple pie seems subversive in comparison wanted to bring to Northern Virginia its own special its a big country after All version of Disney history land. Swell idea huh a 1 mean you could go to school to learn history or you could read a Book. Or in a Pinch you could just go to Disney history land Only minutes away from genuine civil War battlefields and see the constitutional convention As performed by the country bears Jamboree. It there s so much history to cover and so Many possibilities. For instance i  wait to see who would play Ross Perot a Chip or Dale but now it wont happen at least not in Prince William county even though the governor wanted it and All the politicians wanted it and the 30,000-Pieople-a-Day who a fight the crowds and the exhaust fumes Quot just for a Chance to see goofy As Robert e. Lee wanted it. Abut the Disney folks who Are so concerned about their image especially after the a mighty ducks 2�?� debacle did no to want to ruffle any feathers. So they backed out. Mickey mouse loses out to Intel equals. What is going on the intellectuals Are taking Over. A v v first there was this 13-hour  baseball on pcs a network not exactly the same As esp in which Long winded historians and poets and  conto leists and George wih talked about the timeless rhythms of the. Game and never once mentioned spitting scratching Beer or hot dogs. Somebody did brine up Thom As Mann however i believe he used to play third for the Detroit  these same people or people indistinguishable from them challenged Disney and its proposed history land. They accused Disney of crass commercialism As if that weren t the most american thing in the world. They even got together 3,000 protesters if you can imagine to either March against Disney or drink cappuccino while discussing the latest pans review. They were Law to pick out lots of Volvo and Tweed jackets with patches at the Elbow. Somehow they had a problem with something As innocent As a Lewis and Clark raft ride. That a the Disney we know and love. And what a so wrong with an exhibit tastefully done of course in which Bright eyed tourists a a experience slavery say right before lunch this is not the America l used to know. In America today you try to do something useful like bringing a Wal Mart to a new England Village and before you know it people Are passing out petitions and threatening hunger strikes lighten up Here Heck Disney history land would have an environment exhibit Ltd that a what it takes. I tried to get Mickey on the phone to ask him about All this but Minnie said he was too upset to talk. He Wasny to upset for himself of course. He a too big a mouse for that. She did say Mickey wanted to pass along one message to his fans though. It goes like this a pm i a see a real soon be a Why because we like you. A and then Minnie just sort of broke Down. I Hope everyone a Happy now. _ c 8alfimore Sun Quot a Malu ays sitting com. Its a Point of Honor.
