"Old Money, Old Virtues"
By Myron Magnet

" ... most Americans believe the modern approach to helping the poor has been a tragic failure, luring millions of people into lifetimes of dependency, stripping away their dignity and making poverty an intergenerational inheritance even as the national economy boomed, and opportunity proliferated. Nearly 6 TRILLION dollars later, the US has proved that money alone does not solve problems."

It's a glum rainy day here in New York, my pessimism is working overtime, my mood as glum as the weather. I have had this pulled out a magazine to opine on for a while and now is a good a time as any.

Do we really think that the Government can do anything but waste money and blow things up. The Lord Acton site has the nine points about what makes effective charity. I am rapidly coming to the opinion that I will not support any charity that doesn't conform to these points and is further away than I can reach.

Holy Mother Church is not immune from my dour comments either. Does the money I give go to pay hush money to victims of priestly pedophilia? I am afraid that even those modest sums may be wasted because I thought I could "delegate" or "out-source" my responsibility.

At least I don't feel so bad about the Salvation Army? No scandals there yet. I have ranted about United Way being "Big Charity" in the mold of "Big Government". No need to repeat it here.

But, I need to be more charitable in the right way.

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

                         THIS  IS   WHAT  HAPPENED TO SON

Four years ago march 25th 1996, I wrote a letter to Civil rights, Pope John Paul the second, at the Vatican in Rome, Cardinal Oc’conner at the Archdiocese in New York City and the Department of Education in Albany New York asking for help,  with a problem concerning my son; the Tennis Coach; The Head man of the Dormitory; the RA and the Administration at Manhattan college in Riverdale New York. Our son had just turned 18yrs old.

The Cardinal’s was not able to help, he informed us that Manhattan College was not under the Jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of New York.

The results reached by Civil Rights and the college was devastating.  The College admitted to no wrongdoing. Erick was simply stripped of his scholarship and was stopped from pursuing other colleges and Tennis teams by his Tennis coach.

On my son’s 21st birthday, September 1998, not knowing, he was given LSD in his food or drink. It was a disaster.  He did not sleep for three weeks after that.  He was complaining of having strange thoughts that was telling him to kill himself.

On the morning of Friday August 13th 1999, we were awakened, by his Dad’s screams. Our son's window was wide open and  he was lying five floors down underneath our windows and he was not moving. The thoughts got the better of him.  The nightbefore we all had gone to sleep at about 4am. My husband was up at 7 am. He was gone……Dead……I didn’t believe it...Something was deadly wrong. and I was going to find out what had gone wrong.

What I did was to READ everything I could about THE BRAIN  and then some.

HEADLINE: Merrill Hires Giuliani For Help With Inquiry
BYLINE: By James Bernstein; STAFF WRITER

Merrill Lynch & Co., the world's largest brokerage firm, has hired former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as an adviser in its battle to avoid possible criminal charges over its business practices.

A Merrill spokesman said Giuliani will advise the brokerage in its negotiations with state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.

Two weeks ago Spitzer released a series of explosive e-mails showing that Merrill Lynch analysts often had serious doubts about companies that received high ratings from them. Those doubts were never conveyed to investors. Spitzer said the actions of the analysts were evidence of a conflict of interest, as many of the companies they rated also did investment banking business with Merrill. Spitzer obtained a court order forcing disclosures by Merrill about potential conflicts of interest, but is still negotiating a fine and other proposed changes. He has not ruled out initiating criminal action.

The Merrill spokesman would not detail any of Giuliani's duties.

Daniel Connolly, a director at Giuliani Partners, the firm the former mayor began shortly after leaving office, said Giuliani "has been retained by Merrill Lynch to assist them in developing the solutions that will address the issues that have been raised by the attorney general in his investigation. Those are the issues that involve the research analysts at Merrill Lynch."

No meetings have been scheduled between Giuliani and Spitzer at this point, Connolly said.

He said that the firm specializes in providing consulting, legal services, crisis preparedness and risk assessment to companies. Giuliani is chairman and chief executive.

Juanita Scarlett, a spokeswoman for the attorney general's office, said, "The former mayor did reach out to [Spitzer] to inform him he was hired by Merrill. It was a private conversation."

Scarlett said the call took place April 8, the day Spitzer announced the investigation of Merrill.

"The attorney general emphasized that the interests of investors comes first," Scarlett said. She said the call was the only one Giuliani made to Spitzer on the matter.

"He [Spitzer] has heard from a number of individuals" regarding the Merrill investigation, Scarlett said. She declined to name any of them.

Spitzer, in an interview in Washington, said "I like Rudy Giuliani. He was my mayor. I look forward to meeting with him."

In accordance with the court order sought by Spitzer, Merrill last week agreed to provide more disclosure to investors when the firm's stock analysts are rating companies with which it has or seeks investment banking business. Spitzer is investigating at least six other major brokerages and is seeking industry-wide reform.

The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that Giuliani has provided Merrill Lynch with a legal analysis of its situation.

Additionally yesterday, Merrill disclosed on a Web site (www.ml.com/research/disclosure.asp) the names of 640 of its clients, as part of the compliance with the court order. The list includes some of the largest names in corporate America: AMR Corp., the parent of American Airlines, Cablevision Systems Corp. of Bethpage, Citigroup of Manhattan and Ford Motor Co. Merrill posted the list a day before a deadline demanded by Spitzer.

Merrill said the companies have paid, or expect to pay it, for underwriting or merger advisory work in the past year.

DATELINE: NEW YORK

A former financial director of Manhattan College must repay $203,000 as part of a plea agreement after pleading guilty to stealing student loan funds from the school, prosecutors said.

Raymond Krull pleaded guilty to the felony in White Plains federal court Tuesday, U.S. Attorney James Comey said. Krull admitted in court that as financial aid director for the Bronx school, he successfully applied for more than $200,000 in federal student loans in his name for which he was not entitled.

"This is an important conviction," Comey said. "both because it involves a striking abuse of trust and because the money stolen was intended for deserving college students."

Krull, who lives in Nashville, Tenn., was released on a $50,000 personal recognizance bond. He faces a maximum of five years in prison when he is sentenced July 23.

Calls to Krull and Manhattan College were not immediately returned.

ExxonMobil Foundation announced today that it has awarded more than $1.5 million in unrestricted grants to 92 colleges and universities in New York to match educational gifts made in 2001 by ExxonMobil employees, retirees, surviving spouses, and directors.

Former NYC Mayor Giuliani next Great Names speaker Sept. 23

      Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani will speak at Hamilton College on Sept. 23 in the continuing Sacerdote Great Names Series.

      His talk, free and open to the public, will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Scott Field House.

      In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City, Giuliani was dubbed "America's Mayor" for his efforts to calm, console and reassure the public, while urging people to return to normal lives and not to let the terrorists achieve their aim of disrupting everyone's routine.                   Giuliani was first elected mayor in 1993 with a campaign that focused on quality-of-life, crime, business and education.

      In 1997, he was re-elected by a wide margin, winning four of the city's five boroughs.

      Giuliani was credited with raising city government accountability, reducing crime, introducing the largest welfare-to-work initiative in the country, cutting welfare rolls in half, and increasing public aid to education.

      Giuliani was born to a working class family in Brooklyn in 1944, graduated from Manhattan College in the Bronx, and New York University Law School.

      After graduation, he clerked for US District (Southern Manhattan) Court Judge Lloyd McMahon.

      In 1970, he joined the US Attorney's Office in New York, where, at the age of 29, he was named chief of the narcotics unit.

      From 1975-77, he worked in the US Attorney General's Office in Washington, D.C.

      Guiliani worked for a New York law firm from 1977-81 and from 1981-83 he returned to the US Attorney General's Office as supervisor of all the office's law enforcement agencies, the Bureau of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the US Marshals.

      In 1983, he was appointed US Attorney for Manhattan, where he spearheaded the effort to jail drug dealers, fight organized crime, and rigorously prosecute government corruption and white-collar criminals.

      The most recent speaker was former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Others included Jimmy Carter, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Lady Margaret Thatcher, Colin Powell, Mary Matalin and James Carville, Elie Wiesel, F.W. deKlerk and singer/musician B.B. King.

Not a problem, John.  Thanks for agreeing to post it.  And believe me, the last thing we need is a government program designed to give hope.  All the President has to do is to include "giving hope" in a speech or two and encourage states and municipalities to do the same.

ERIC FIERRO'S TWO-RUN PINCH HIT IN NINTH LIFTS JASPERS TO 9-7 WIN OVER SACRED HEART

BRIDGEPORT, CT - A two-run pinch hit in the top of the ninth by freshman Eric Fierro (Levittown, NY) lifted the Manhattan College baseball team (20-16) to a 9-7 victory over non-conference rival Sacred Heart University (15-22) Wednesday afternoon at Harbor Yard. The win was the 20th on the season for the Jaspers, who have now reached the 20-win plateau for the fifth consecutive year.

Manhattan rallied from a five-run deficit and got some late-inning heroics from its freshmen to escape with the victory. Trailing 5-0 after three innings, the Jaspers pushed across their first run of the game on an RBI-groundout by freshman Zach Sousa (Waterford, CT), who saw his first action since March 29 due to injury. After the Pioneers tacked on another run in the bottom of the fifth to go up 6-1, the Jaspers broke out with five runs in the top of the sixth to knot the game at 6-6. Sophomore Josh Greco (Kensington, CT) collected one of his four hits in the day when he singled in sophomore Matt Cucurullo (Valhalla, NY) from second. Senior Wendell Anderson (East Hartford, CT) drew a walk to load the bases with nobody out, and Sousa was also issued a free pass, which scored freshman Chris Gaskin (Rego Park, NY). After sophomore Ian Quinn (Catskill, NY) went down on strikes for the first out, sophomore Sal Candela (Brooklyn, NY), who also returned to the Jasper lineup for the first time in almost three weeks, came up with a clutch basehit to score two runs and cut the deficit to 6-5. Freshman Gary Diaz (Naugatuck, CT) tied the game with a sacrifice fly to centerfield.

Manhattan took its first lead of the game in the top of the seventh on an RBI-double by Greco. But Sacred Heart answered with a run in he bottom of the inning on a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 7-7. In the top of the ninth, Greco singled and Anderson drew his third walk of the game to put runners at first and second with one out. Sophomore Jonathan Holzer (Brooklyn, NY) advanced both runners into scoring position with a groundout to third. Then, Fierro came in to hit for Quinn and laced a 1-1 pitch to right field to score Greco and Anderson and put Manhattan on top 9-7. Freshman Mike Parisi (Lake Grove, NY) came in to try and shut the door on the Pioneers and he did just that, retiring all three batters he faced on a groundout and two strikeouts for his third save of the year.

Quinn picked up the victory to even his record at 2-2, working 1 2/3 scoreless innings while fanning four of the six batters he faced.

Manhattan returns to action this weekend when they travel to MAAC rival Marist for an important three-game series with the Red Foxes. Manhattan and Marist will play a doubleheader on Saturday April 27 at Noon.

AMANDOLA, OTTO LEAD MANHATTAN OVER ST. JOSEPH'S 16-8
Amandola Records 14 Saves in Goal; Otto Scores Seven Points

RIVERDALE, NY - Senior James Amandola (Medford, NY) recorded 14 saves in goal and freshman Justin Otto (Merrick, NY) netted four goals and assisted three others to lead the Manhattan College men's lacrosse team to a 16-8 victory over St. Joseph's University on Wednesday afternoon. With the win Manhattan completes the regular season at 9-5 overall and an unprecedented 7-0 in the MAAC. This marks the first regular-season MAAC title for the men's lacrosse team and the first time in College history a team has finished undefeated in conference play.

Brady Becklo (Gill, MA) scored Manhattan's first goal of the game at the 13:10 mark in the first quarter to give Manhattan a 1-0 lead. Chris Spay retaliated with the first of his four goals at the 9:08 mark. With time winding down in the first quarter, Mike Kelly (Syracuse, NY) scored on an assist from Don Femminella (Massapequa, NY) to give Manhattan a 2-1 lead at the end of the quarter.

Alex Heidenberger tied up the game at 2-2 at the 10:32 mark in the second, but Otto hit the first of his four goals just 12 seconds later to put the Jaspers up 3-2. Spay hit back-to-back goals at 9:04 and 7:39, then assisted Mark Lipscomb just 40 seconds later to give the Hawks their biggest lead of the game 5-3. Manhattan got a huge offensive push at the end of the second quarter, when Kelly ripped a shot from nine yards out and finished top left corner at the 1:49 mark to cut the lead to one, 5-4.

Nick Silva (Chesterfield, MO) scored on a give and go from Otto with 1:19 on the clock to knot the game up at 5-5. Spay gave St. Joseph's the lead 26 seconds later, but Dan Roy (Garnerville, NY) found Otto with 40.8 seconds left to play in the half to tie the game up again at 6-6. Otto cut back door, faked high and shot between the goalie's legs to score the momentum shifter. Manhattan wasn't done yet, with Anthony Pintauro (Williston Park, NY) hitting a quick-stick shot on a pass from Eugene Tanner (Medford, NY) with 10.8 seconds left on the clock to give the Jaspers a 7-6 lead at the half.

The Hawks came out and tied the game up quickly at 14:34 in the third quarter, but the remainder of the game belonged to Manhattan as they scored nine unanswered goals in the win. Becklo scored at 13:35 with a low skipper that bounced just out of the reach of St. Joseph's goalie. Otto scored what would be the eventual game-winner less than thirty seconds later when he dodged his defender and bounced a shot between the goalie's legs. Manhattan played possession for almost nine minutes, but came up without a goal. Again the final minutes of the quarter proved to be dynamite for Manhattan with Becklo adding one goal at 3:11 and Roy scoring his own from Otto. Pintauro added one, again on an assist from Otto early in the fourth. Marty DarConte (Commack, NY) scored two of Manhattan's four fourth-quarter goals in the win. Otto had one goal in the fourth on an assist from Pintauro.

Amandola was brilliant again in goal stopping14 shots, including five in the fourth quarter to ward off any threat of a Hawk comeback.

Manhattan, the #1 seed in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament, faces St. Joseph's again on Friday, May 3 in the semifinals of the Championships.

HEADLINE: LACROSSE NOTEBOOK; Automatic Bid In NCAAs Is OK With Manhattan
BYLINE: Tom Rock

Not everyone is happy about the number of conferences getting an automatic qualifier for this year's NCAA Tournament, but at Manhattan College, they are thrilled. That's because for the first time the MAAC champion will be invited to the 12-team tournament and the Jaspers are at the top of the MAAC standings. This May, tournament regulars such as North Carolina and Loyola may not get invited, but if it can win the two-game MAAC Tournament May 3 and 4 as the No. 1 seed, Manhattan (8-5, 6-0) will be among the teams bracketed for the championship.

That has some people steaming about how the NCAAs will not have the 12 best teams in the country. "I agree with those people," senior goalie James Amandola said. "I look at the standings and quality teams around and think to myself that it's not fair to them that they aren't going to make it because of us. But I'm happy it might give us the opportunity to promote our team and our school."

Amandola (Patchogue-Medford) missed the first three games of the season recovering from surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his jaw, but he returned to save 67.2 percent of the shots fired at him and allow only 7.3 goals per game. He leads the Jaspers along with a freshman attackman Eugene Tanner, who grew up two blocks away from Amandola and also attended Patchogue-Medford. Tanner is Manhattan's leading scorer with 43 goals and 19 assists. Fellow freshman Justin Otto from Merrick (Chaminade) has 24 goals and six assists and was named MAAC Rookie of the Week this week after scoring seven goals in a 15-10 win over Providence.

Tanner said he was reading an Internet message board a few nights ago when he came across a posting that stated it was awful the MAAC gets an automatic qualifier and any team from that conference will be destroyed in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. "I understand how they feel," Tanner said, "but we should have our shot, too."

"We didn't make the rules, we just abide by them," coach Tim McIntee said. "Our conference deserves to have an AQ, but no, we don't deserve to be in there over some other teams that are going to be left out."

Five years ago Manhattan men's lacrosse was a club team, but since McIntee was hired as coach, the program has turned into a regular-season conference champion (without, McIntee is quick to point out, a lot of financial resources from the school or the conference). Their success comes from recruiting blue-collar players from Long Island and from the hard work McIntee and the players and assistant coaches put into the program.

"If we keep getting a couple more of those types of kids, were going to see some more success," McIntee said. "It's a much better situation here than it was, but it is still a work in progress. I want to reap the rewards, but I can't right now because I have so much more work to do."

The Eagles managed just three points after the first day of action when senior Brian Vo won in the first round and both doubles teams won in the first round.

Today, Symmes and Vo fell to Nathaniel Emge and Chris Floyd of Naples, 6-1, 6-1.

At No. 2 doubles, Chris Caswell and Paul Carroll fell to a team from Tarpon Springs/East Lake, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 after being up 5-2 in the third set.

"I thought we could do better," said Jenkins Coach Dick Hartman. But when we got there and saw who was there -- even to win one, we would have been fourth."

The Eagles made the trip to state for the eighth time out of the past nine years.

"I attribute that to good kids, kids who are willing to work, high expectations and a tough schedule," said Hartman.

Hartman has seven players returning, three out of the top five.

Seniors Symmes and Vo have won a total of seven district championships and eight regional championships between them.

Symmes is talking to Manhattan College and the University of Indianapolis and the University of North Florida, among others.

John:

Just wanted to let you know that I have copied and forwarded Laurie's resume to one of our IT guys in NY in case there is any interest in my firm.  We have 8 offices around the country, including NY, but I don't know if we are looking for entry level people.  (Before the .com meltdown, we definitely would have been looking, but since then there are many experienced IT people still looking for work, so the pool is bigger.)

From the emails in JJ this week, looks as if you made a hit at the recent NYC alumni function.  Keep up the good work! 

--Rich Ferrara Class of '72

[JR: Hi Rich: I am sure she’ll appreciate the “push”. Well, I met several of the people who contribute material which was great and I handed out a lot of business cards. Now we have to see if I hear from them. I enjoyed it. I matched two “needs” and “wants” in real time. That was stunning. We need a better way to do it rather than we dragging people from one end of the room to the other. (You know how shy an retiring I am! Excuse me, you have to meet this person x. Drag, drag, drag. Excuse me this is the person I told you about.) All that dragging bodies is hard work. ;-)  Can’t wait for the next one!]

Thanks for what seems like a noble effort.  Unfortunately the message you sent contained no attachement.  I am also not sure I can open a zip file.  I'm using a Dell Inspiron 4100 with MS XP office, etc.   

I really appreciate your effort.  If the file is too big, just put me on the weekly list which would be greta.  Can't blieve I am causing so much difficulty.  This is supposed to be easy....

Thanks again.

Dear John,

             On Saturday I attended Mass at St. Mary and St. Andrew's Church in Ellenvelle New York where Msgr. Richard B. Curtin '37 Arts, is Pastor Emeritus. The current Pastor announced that Msgr. Curtin is quite ill in the Hospital and asked for prayers to ease his pain.

             Msgr. is a past President of the Alumni Society. He, for many years, was the professor of liturgical music at St. Joseph's Seminary and celebrated Mass on weekends at St. Barnabas Parish.

              If anyone would like to write to Msgr. they can send a letter to him at St. Mary & St. Andrew, 137 South Main Street, Ellenville, NY 12428. I am sure he would like to hear from some of the "Old Timers"

Good Morning, John:

1.       We just returned from a cruise to Cosumel, Limon, Tortuga

2.       I have not yet had time to review Mr. Fay s material, so I will skip my answer to him for this week.

3.       Lindy was just ahead of me & class of 48 I believe.

4.      As a retired NYC schoolteacher with over 30 years of service, I deeply resent being asked to add my name to that bucket of balderdash and bream bait, which that person submitted to you. This is a touchy subject today but the truth of the matter is that Israel should be supported. We Americans are not taught enough history. To wit: We all know about the battle of Poitiers where the English archers wiped out the French knights but this was the 2nd battle of Poitiers. The first one was in 781 or so when Charles Martel stopped an Islamic invasion. Some historians call it the Battle of Tours. The Western World was saved for about 700 years or so. In 1573, Don Juan of Austria and St. Pius V (the only canonized Pontiff) gathered a Christian fleet together and met the Turkish fleet along with their other Islamic allies at Le Ponto and wiped out two thirds of the Islamic fleet, again saving Christendom from these people who are intent on world domination for another 300 years or so until oil was discovered in the 1930s and they began having enough money to buy arms and officers to train them (Glubb Pasha, for example). A friend of mine with Israeli connections has quoted a senior Mossad officer as saying that if we had not interfered, Israel would now be as big as Texas and Alaska put together. El Cid had to do the job in Spain and Gordon was not supported soon enough in Khartoum. The story has been the same over the centuries since an illiterate camel driver invented the mishmash of Hebrew and Christian ideals, which is called Islam. This is a short version of history that is not taught in our schools at any level and my thoughts should start a lively discussion.

[JR:  My bet is that Korean "police action". I know at least one WWII vet who was GI billing at Manhattan and had to take a time out (i.e., got called back) to go "police" Korea. That would be my guess, only because of the stories I heard from Tom.]

Dear John,

      I was recently in NYC.  One of the members of our Deacon Support led a pilgrimage to pray at Ground Zero (Deacon Dick & Rose Marie Lombard).  This has truly become Holy Ground.  We spent Monday night, April15, at the Mt. Manresa Retreat Center on Staten Island.  I was surprised to learn that this is the oldest Retreat Center in the USA.  On Tuesday our group was the escorted by Msgr. Cassata, Chaplain of the NYC police Department to Ground Zero.  There were fifty one of us from the Diocese of Rochester.  It was truly a blessed experience for all of us. Some of the people had never been to the Big City.  They were overwhelmed by the hospitality and willingness of New Yorkers to go out of their way to help those visiting their city.  My wife Roni and I, being native New Yorkers, were very proud of our home town.  I reflect many times on the good fortune that resulted from growing up! in such a great city.  Among my fondest memories are my four years at Manhattan College.

John,

I'm not an "AOL" guy. Where I live, I've become a sort of a "guru" on computers.... The most frustrating problem is the way AOL decides what is right for their users. To change that requires some substantial adjustment in settings. I'm not even sure what they are... Too much trouble.

However, one way for Jim Kilkenny to open these zip files is to download from some support site on AOL.. Should be easily available.. a copy of WinZip. Once on his computer, it'll open any zip file easily...

[JR: But, I don’t zip anything or do anything. It is straight plain old DOS ascii text when it leaves here. Sigh!]

All material submitted for posting becomes the sole property of the CIC. All decisions about what is post, and how, are vested solely in the CIC. We'll attempt to honor your wishes to the best of our ability.

A collection copyright is asserted to protect against any misuse of original material.

PRIVACY

Operating Jasper Jottings, the "collector-in-chief", aka CIC, recognizes that every one of us needs privacy. In respect of your privacy, I will protect any information you provide to the best of my ability. No one needs "unsolicited commercial email" aka spam.

The CIC of Jasper Jottings will never sell personal data to outside vendors. Nor do we currently accept advertisements, although that may be a future option.

DISCLAIMER

This effort has NO FORMAL RELATION to Manhattan College!

This is just my idea and has no support nor any official relationship with Manhattan College. As an alumni, we have a special bond with Manhattan College. In order to help the College keep its records as up to date as possible, the CIC will share such information as the Alumni office wants. To date, we share the news, any "new registrations" (i.e., data that differs from the alumni directory), and anything we find about "lost" jaspers.

QUALIFICATION

You may only subscribe to the list, only if you have demonstrated a connection to Manhattan College. This may require providing information about yourself to assert the claim to a connection. Decisions of the CIC are final. If you do provide such personal information, such as email, name, address or telephone numbers, we will not disclose it to anyone except as described here.

CONNECTING

Should you wish to connect to someone else on the list, you must send in an email to the list requesting the connection. We will respond to you, so you know we received your request, and send a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response to your target with your email address visible. Thus by requesting the connection, you are allowing us to share your email address with another list member. After that it is up to the other to respond to you. Bear in mind that anything coming to the list or to me via my reinkefj@alum.manhattan.edu address is assumed to be for publication to the list and you agree to its use as described.

Should some one wish to connect with you, you will be sent a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response as described above. It is then your decision about responding.

We want you to be pleased not only with this service. Your satisfaction, and continued participation, is very important to all of us.

REQUESTING YOUR PARTICIPATION

Please remember this effort depends upon you being a reporter. Email any news about Jaspers, including yourself --- (It is ok to toot your own horn. If you don't, who will? If it sounds too bad, I'll tone it down.) --- to reinkefj@alum.manhattan.edu. Please mark if you DON'T want it distributed AND / OR if you DON'T want me to edit it.

Fax can be accommodated 781-723-7975 but email is easier.

A Final Thought

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27380

Improving air travel
by Harry Browne

I agree with Harry. The Government -- federal, state, local, and any "agencies" -- should get out of the air travel business. The 9-11 induced takeover of airport security has me enraged.

Harry expresses two ideas: "Cities and counties should sell their airports to private companies and make it easier for competing airports to open within each city." and "The federal government should get completely out of air traffic control. Let the airlines operate the system, modernize it, and make it efficient."

Only the "government" can make a monopoly! It becomes a mess when they are involved.

And that’s the last word.
