NEWTON'S LAW: EGYPT HAS STOMACH TO EXPEL SADDAM

The American president, a sportsman up to the point where he's asked to wear a leash himself, insists Saddam Hussein will not be allowed to jerk his chain. Saddam, a chain-jerker of long standing in the Middle East, and something of a jerk himself, won't give Bush the time of day, at least not on one particular day...

LEND ME YOUR EAR: ON THE SIDE OF THE ANGELS
(Column ~ 12/19/90)
Most of us are aware that there are bad angels as well as good. Bible readers know Satan was a fallen angel who rebelled against God and fell from heaven to eternal damnation. But we still picture an angel as a winged creature clothed in a long white robe crowned with a golden halo. This is the angel we've seen in Bible stories and Christmas pageants, and the one we used to find on everyone's tree during the Christmas season...

RUSTLINGS
(Editorial ~ 12/19/90)
"Advertising properly done doesn't cost a cent." Without conflict, life would be beige. I believe in Norman Vincent Peale's philosophy of the Power of Positive Thinking. More people fail because of negative thoughts or because they are affected by other people's negative thoughts or predictions. Work on what you can make happen ... not on what you would do if things went wrong...

A GIFT TO THE PLANET; CHRISTMAS TREES CAN HELP ENVIRONMENT
(Column ~ 12/19/90)
CAPE GIRARDEAU - Christmas Trees are a center of attention this week. Standing straight and tall and decorated in various ways, although they maybe large or small in size, they appear real and a delight to behold. Some trees are more than a holiday decoration.
