Barbarism ...
Continued from Page 4
"That's if there is no war. If we actually go to war, and
win, the potential profits are staggering. Royal jewels, cer
emonial masks, oil fields, strategic minerals, full sets of
plate armor with gold-embroidered overjupons of silk,
not to mention ransom.
"War or no war, it couldnt miss. Any administration
that can claim it has put the Pentagon on a paying basis
could get re-elected forever. 5
"In the case of war, it would be a little tough on the
losers, I admit. But as we all know, the time hai come to
stop gearing our economy to the loser."

Stalinists 'out of closet9
Once again, Christian Stalinists have come out of the
doset, carrying the "upright" banner of religious repres
sionism in order to impose their morality on all of us sin
ful heathen.
Broadening their hate-base, not unlike the Klansmen
do every so often, they have turned their wrath against a
basic form of human expression and creativity - music
(Fahrenheit 451 now a musical?)
Yes, ye sinners, rock music will make you . . . exci
ted and angry and wanting to terrorize the town. It puts
tate in your heart," according to the "prophet" Mefvin
Fitzsimons. The "right honorable" Toby Tyler even went
so far as to say "... it is impossible to be a Christian and
still enjoy rock music." Toby, do you realize how many
people in the world are now without a religion?
Rest well though, for these incidences of inquisition
like tactics are on the wane and those of us who are en
lightened know that the "Christian-right" is not. Thus,
from Grand Island, the "book-burning" capital of Nebras-
ka, comes another in the series of what psychologists call
"basic foolishness."

CIA needs full secrecy
The saying goes "curiosity killed the cat " and that is
exactly what America has done to the CIA. The Central
Intelligence Agency's purpose is to keep abreast of de
velopments in other countries related to our national
interest. Many other countries have similar operations.
They, however, operate under strict secrecy. Now I am
not advocating that an uncontrollable secret operation be
in operation as some might believe. A nation as great and
international as ours has security interests beyond its own
borders in order to maintain ours and our allies positions"
in the world.
Our enemies have interests contrary to ours and as long
as we deprive the CIA of its full capabilities through the
publication of plans (via the Freedom of Information Act)
and other restrictions, we only endanger our own country.
