Welcome to the War on Terrorism, comrade
by Harry Browne
Posted: July 18, 2002
"And it's true that the anti-terrorism experts need to make a lot of arrests, in order to show they're doing something and to justify expanding their budgets. After all, they are government bureaucrats just like the ones who are wiping out drugs, poverty and illiteracy. But they're doing important work and so you shouldn't complain if you're inconvenienced, right?"
This should be something that liberals, conservatives, and libertarians can agree on. We can't recreate the "secret police state" that had neighbors ratting out each other, kids on their parents, or fellow alumni reporting each other!
Milton Friedman, a conservative economist and author of the concept of school vouchers, pointed out that to get a true picture of what will come of a government program all you have to do is imagine the worst and it'll be worse than that.
Prohibition gives us Organized Crime. Drug War gives us rampant civil rights violations and prisons full of poor users. Income Tax gives us a corrupt political system riddled with loopholes. Social Security gives us unfunded liabilities and a huge expansion in government. Poverty War gives us an expansion in the third generation "poverty industry". Federal Welfare Rules gives us single parent homes without fathers and everyone is the worse off. Speed limits make us all “speeders” and enhances a disrespect of the law.
You name it and government gives us the worst possible result.
I oppose this civilian spy corps as well as anything the Government does to infringe on our Fourth Amendment rights. I suggest you write your congress-critters and let them know how you feel. I still haven't hear back from them on why we need a "Department of Defense" and a "Department of Homeland Security"! Maybe you'll fare better.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.
"Collector-in-chief" John

HEADLINE: Walking Through A Horror Story
BYLINE: Jimmy Breslin
Our sense of atrocity has changed astonishingly. In the morning yesterday, I was off for my day's work for this newspaper after having spent three long weeks gathering notes on the Catholic pedophile priests and their superiors who maneuvered silently into a place that allowed them to say practically nothing at all about sodomy victims and still talk like beloved shepherds.
And now I got on the subway for the ride to federal court in Brooklyn, where the jury was going into its fifth day of deliberating in the sodomy trial of former cop Charles Schwarz.
I was not raised for this. For many years, I never heard of any sodomy, and when I did, I didn't know what it was for a long time. I knew that this wasn't going to penalize a reporter because no newspaper would print any of it.
Ray Kelly was saying the other night that when he was a lieutenant working in Times Square, people were charged with pedophilia and at first he didn't know what it was. "I thought it had something to do with animals. What did I know. Manhattan College."
My wife said the same thing. "I was out of college and in politics, out in the streets canvassing, so I had to have some experience, and then a state assemblyman, Mark Lane, was arrested for sodomy and I remember we all said, 'How could Mark Lane be involved with animals?'"
What could be expected of a populace that did not have Bill Clinton as president?
Yesterday, the Schwarz case was in a second-floor courtroom in the Brooklyn federal court. The jury on Friday was said to be in disarray and fighting and were given the weekend to gather themselves. Apparently, they did.
They requested testimony to be re-read to them that by day's end showed the case against Schwarz suddenly was clearer than heralded.
On the overnight shift of Aug. 9, 1997, Abner Louima was sodomized in the bathroom of the 70th Precinct in Brooklyn. Cop Justin Volpe shoved a stick up Louima's rectum. Volpe pled guilty. Schwarz was indicted as the second man in the bathroom. A jury found him guilty, a second trial found him guilty of obstruction of justice and then a federal appeals panel threw the whole thing out, and here is Schwarz on trial for the third time.
The first read back yesterday was from Louima's testimony. A clerk read the questions and another gave the answers. Louima, arrested in front of a nightclub, was in a cop car being driven by Schwarz, who turned around and looked at Louima, whose testimony stated that he had his head down and was crying, but that he did see Schwarz' face, although he "wasn't fixing at him."
Later, he could only say that the second man in the bathroom, holding him down while Volpe rammed in the stick, was the driver. He couldn't identify Schwarz by face.
At the 70th Precinct, Schwarz had Louima at the front desk. Louima says he had his pants down. Louima says he was completely naked front and rear. He says he was pushed from the desk to the hallway leading to the bathroom by Schwarz.
Schwarz says he left Louima at the desk and went outside to clean up the back of the cop car. If the jury believes that, he walks.
The jury so far has not told Schwarz that he can go home.
A read back of a patrolman, Mark Schofield, who was at the desk when Louima was brought in, states that Schwarz walked Louima down the hall. Schofield then said that Louima was not naked, and he had on boxer shorts.
Sitting in court yesterday, if I believed this detail, I had reason to disbelieve Louima's testimony about being naked. I did not believe the thing about the boxer shorts. Trying to help a brother a little bit.
But Schofield did move Schwarz, pushing Louima, up the hall from the desk. The hall ends at a juvenile questioning room and then turns right. In the impersonal voices of clerks reading testimony, Schwarz now is at the end of the hall from the desk, in territory where Schwarz said he never was.
Another witness, cop Eric Turetzky, in readback said he saw Schwarz and Volpe take Louima down the hall, then turn to the right.
In the readbacks, Schwarz now has Louima in a hallway between an arrest room on the left and on the right, a room known as the 124 room, a records room. Schwarz is only a few steps from the bathroom door.
From the staircase, Turetzky could see Schwarz leading Louima toward the bathroom.
The next read back was of a witness nobody could remember hearing before.
She had been on for five minutes somewhere early in a day. Her name was Sylvia Stewart, and she was a civilian police administrative aide. She had worked the midnight-to-eight shift for 18 years and knew Schwarz, who worked steady nights. She had been in this 124 office that night. She said that Volpe came into the room and complained about a prisoner hitting him on the side of the head. Then he left.
The room had a window that looked onto the hall. The window had papers pasted to it and did not give the greatest view. Still, Sylvia Stewart's testimony yesterday said, "I saw somebody with a prisoner. Prisoner was black. I couldn't see a clear picture. I saw somebody with blond hair, I think it might have been Schwarz. I guess by the hair style."
Step by step by step.
She put Schwarz, holding Louima, almost at the bathroom door. The bathroom where Louima was sodomized by Volpe with somebody holding him down.
Absolutely marvelous. Today, we just takes notes on something this atrocious and write it as if covering a financial report.

Years ago, the fuel powered a tiny nuclear reactor that produced one-tenth of a watt of electricity - 1/600th of the amount needed to power a 60-watt light bulb. "At its time, in the 1960s, I'm sure it was very cutting-edge," said college spokeswoman Heidi Giovine.
Department spokesman Joe Davis said that although the reactor's power may have been minuscule, the "resource fuel" - the depleted uranium - is still radioactive and therefore a potential hazard.
"The fuel of any research reactor we treat with the utmost caution, [the same way] we would fuel coming out of a nuclear power plant," Davis said.
"The tiniest bit of plutonium, it's dangerous."
The reactor was used for teaching, but the college eventually discontinued its nuclear engineering program, and in 1996 the machine was shut down.
Waiting for removal
Yet six years later, the fuel remains in storage in a secure campus location while the college waits for the department to fulfill its legal responsibility to collect the waste.
The agency has yet to pick it up because it has had nowhere to put it.
After 20 years and $4 billion in research, Congress approved this week the department's chosen site - Yucca Mountain in Nye County, Nev.
Nuclear waste is stored at Manhattan College and 130 other sites in 39 states around the country, including numerous reactors.
Proponents say that's one reason the nation needs Yucca Mountain, where nuclear waste would be stored 1,000 feet under a desert, near an old testing site.
Critics fear that bringing the nuclear waste to Nevada could lead to an accident or terrorist incident, but Scott Hepburn, a special projects manager at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said the Energy Department has safely transported spent nuclear fuel for decades.
"Having waste stored in 131 sites is really not responsible storage," Hepburn said. "All of these sites where waste is stored are perfectly safe - but they were not designated for permanent storage. They were designed for temporary storage."

HEADLINE: Student learns about world issues

DATELINE: EAST MANATEE
Rhonda Makki stood with students from around the world and looked at Ground Zero in New York City.
"I was speechless," she said. "I didn't know what to say."
Looking at the terrorists' Sept. 11 destruction deeply affected them all, she said. Makki, who will be a junior at Southeast High School, was one of 350 students participating in the 10-day Global Young Leaders Conference from June 16 to 27 in Washington, D.C., and New York City.
Makki estimated that half of the students were international students, from places such as China, Singapore, Colombia and Guam. Students must speak English to participate.
"It really opens up your mind to what there is in this world," she said.
Conference organizers said students have the opportunity to explore global issues with world leaders and learn about communications, diplomacy, peace and security, economics, law, human rights and the role of the United Nations. During simulation exercises, students act as diplomats and debate issues, solve problems on the spot and lead their peers.
Makki and her smaller group of 22 members were assigned to Syria. "We had to figure out what's best for our country," she said.
Throughout the 10 days, Makki bonded with her small-group members and made friends with others at leadership group meetings and during their travels.
The conference began in Washington and students spent the last four days in New York. In between, they stopped in Philadelphia to eat and explore.
Makki's roommate in Washington was from Argentina and her roommate in New York was from Turkey.
She said Washington was peaceful, calm and beautiful. Based at the Mount Vernon campus, the students listened to guest speakers, visited the Smithsonian Institution, took a night tour of the city and saw buildings such as the Capitol, the White House and the Lincoln Memorial.
In New York, the students were based at the Manhattan College campus. In addition to Ground Zero, Makki visited Times Square, Little Italy and the East Side Tenement Museum.
Makki was nominated for the conference by Brenda O'Connor, who is an assistant principal and International Baccalaureate coordinator at Southeast High School. Makki has a 4.2 grade-point average and is a member of the National Honor Society, Key Club and tennis team. She is listed in Who's Who Among American High School Students.
Because she loves children and wants to be a pediatrician, Makki said, she is in her second year volunteering at Manatee Memorial Hospital in Bradenton. She works about 16 hours a week in the pediatrics unit.
Her summer travels aren't yet complete. Makki, her mother Claire, sister Sonia, 5, and brother Adham, 12, are visiting relatives in France. Dad Sam is staying home in Creekwood.

[Lesson Learned: Continued employment necessitates that you are always in “job search” mode. You must continually network, scan sources, interview, and financially prepare for your status to change.

Subject: Jottings 7/14/02
John,
Hope your trip to London went off without a hitch. I read with interest in the 7/14/02 jottings that alma mater recruited a basketball player named Oktay Yilmaz and that he will study at Winchendon Academy for one year so that he can go to the college.
My only question is, is alma mater stooping to the level of other big name colleges and paying for a high school education so that they can play at MC?
And who is paying for this? I do hope it isn't coming out of alumni contributions. This is not why I contribute to alma mater.
And aren't there enough needy students in the metropolitan area that could use this help?
I am a dedicated Jasper and I hate to see things like this happen. If the student does not have the academic ability to attend alma mater, MC should not pay to bring them up to the standards of the College.
Rich Kaufmann '68 Prep '64
[JR: Well, it certainly is a good question. Give what I know about the college’s record on athletes and graduation rates, I don’t think that is a concern. As far as, who pays? I don’t know but I’ll ask. Restricting charity to the nyc met area is probably not a good idea. One of MC’s few strategic advantages is its LaSallian international connection. It needs to exploit itself internationally to collect the widest possible audience of potential students. Have to put butts in the chairs or it will have to close. Besides if this fellow was true fodder for the “basketball mills that masquerade as colleges” then he would have never been involved with MC. We can’t “outbid” them. My guess is that he is a worthy case that merits our support in the absence of other evidence. Besides which maybe he CAN play. Nothing wrong with winning as long as we stay within the lines.]

Dear Manhattan College Alumni,
Several weeks ago you either responded to a questionnaire that had been circulated following the April 11th, NYC Alumni Club premier event or via another route, have expressed an interest in supporting the NYC Club Committee's efforts in preparing for the next Alumni Club event.
The Club's next event is scheduled for mid-October and the theme is Staying on Top of Your Game, Marketing Yourself in a Changing Economy.
Despite the fact that it is summer, we are moving ahead with the planning, task assignment and formation of the sub-committees that will be responsible for various aspects of the event. Our next monthly meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 24th. On behalf of the Committee, I would like to invite you to attend the meeting, get to know us, and decide if there is a sub-committee you feel you have time enough to volunteer for. Details of the meeting are as follows:
Date: Wednesday, July 24th, 2002
Time: 5:30 - 7:30 PM
Location: Right Management, 330 Madison Ave,

If you have a friend or know of another Alumni that may be interested in joining us, please let me know and I will forward an invitation to them as well.

Suffer the children
Bill O'Reilly
Posted: July 18, 2002
"So I propose this: A new law called the "Child
Criminal Protection Act of 2002." Under this law, any adult charged with
harming a child younger than 16 years of age would be tried in a federal court
and sent to a federal prison."
While I am usually predisposed to say "no" to
any new federal mission that is not an explicit 19th century Constitutional
mandate, in this case, I think Bill is on to something.
He cites the Lindberg baby kidnapping case as the driver for
the Federal kidnapping statute. And, I agree that protection of our youngest
citizens is a valid purpose of government. Since it is apparent that new
technology and new threats to children are appearing, a new response is in
order.
For this, I would pay more taxes. Now like any good idea, it will be perverted into something it isn't supposed to be, but it will be up to the citizens to see that doesn't happen.
And that’s the last word.
