Chris Keeley Jimmy Carter is right on target. Peace is the Answer. Most of his critics have not read his most recent book out of 20+ books. To bring up the Iran hostage crisis in this is upsurd because as we know the true October suprise (getting Regunz elected) (Gates Rummy and Cheney) is to get and keep Republicans in Power at the expense of American lives and keep the Industrial Military Complex alive. More Nukes, Fear and oppression. AIDS, Hunger, loose Nukes, Global warming, the environment should be on everybody's minds as we bask in 80 degree weather in Washington.

You’d want to send the counterterrorism team from the C.I.A. on a golfing trip twice a month with the counterterrorism teams from the F.B.I. and the N.S.A. and the Defense Department, so they could get to know one another and compare notes.

On the afternoon of October 23, 2006, Jeffrey Skilling sat at a table at the front of a federal courtroom in Houston, Texas. He was wearing a navy-blue suit and a tie. He was fifty-two years old, but looked older. Huddled around him were eight lawyers from his defense team. Outside, television-satellite trucks were parked up and down the block.

“We are here this afternoon,” Judge Simeon Lake began, “for sentencing in United States of America versus Jeffrey K. Skilling, Criminal No. H-04-25.” He addressed the defendant directly: “Mr. Skilling, you may now make a statement and present any information in mitigation.”

That emotional turbulence runs through albums that chronicle with blunt honesty a life of extreme mood swings. The facts may be disguised, but the emotions — ferocious passion, vengeful anger, desperate longing, jealousy, heartbreak, ecstasy — are laid bare.

Don’t give me fountains, I need waterfalls/And when I cry, my tears will fill an ocean

Hush, Little Baby, Mama’s Crooning

Entering the world of Carly Simon’s new album “Into White” (Columbia) is like tiptoeing into an enchanted garden. The fanciful Cat Stevens song that opens the record and gives it its title establishes a mood of deep, dreamy calm that is sustained over 14 songs.

Singing quietly in a low throbbing alto caressed by exquisite folk-pop arrangements, Ms. Simon projects the warmth and intimacy of a parent caught up in the magic of the bedtime stories she is reading to her children. And the presence on the album of her two grown children, Sally and Ben Taylor, enhances its aura of a family musicale.

Oddly enough “Into White,” which will be released tomorrow, is not the record Ms. Simon originally intended to make. After releasing a collection of standards, “Moonlight Serenade,” made in the Rod Stewart mode, Ms. Simon said, 61, she longed to cut loose and make a rock ’n’ roll album with Booker T. Jones, the legendary keyboardist, producer, and architect of Memphis soul. But Columbia Records executives deemed the idea uncommercial (probably wisely, she now admits) and instead proposed an album of lullabies.

This item appeared in my email collection today, New Year's Day. It
is responding to something that the author, Mr. Walter Furst, apparently
a retired FSO, picked up only recently, since my original message was
sent in the middle of last August and then circulated more widely by Tex
Harris. I leave it to you to evaluate his critique. The only very strong
objection I have is that he refers to FSO's who served in the State
Department's Near East Bureau as "inmates"--I suppose he means in some
sort of insane asylum. He is of course mistaken in what UNSC security
resolution 242 called for--not defensible borders for Israel, but
withdrawal by Israel from the territories recently occupied by force of
arms. His interpretation of 242 confirms that he is an uncritical
supporter of Israel's positions on these critical issues. Not an
objective student of the problems we have been addressing.
   I would like to know where he lives, so that I could arrive at his
front door with some well-armed colleagues and demand that he vacate his
house and turn it over to us because we think it belongs to us more than
to him. I have no doubt that he would slam the door, which is what we
should do to him.
