Are we not concerned that our enemies watch, then learn our weakness- es and exploit them? I don’t care who our President is, or the party he rep- resents, I simply find it offen- sive to denigrate the office held. I may not agree or have voted for that person, or even like what he is doing, but making negative remarks about the per- son as long as he holds that posi- tion is just not in my dialogue. Our current President is not the first to receive this treat- ment. Almost every president has received his share of pretty sharp criticism. In reading “Profiles in Courage,” the author, President John F. Kennedy, devoted one of the largest chapters in this book to U.S. Senator Edmund G. Ross (Rep. Kan., refer Ch. 6) who was literally the deciding vote on whether or not to convict impeached President Andrew Johnson, who became president after the assassination of Lincoln. Even though Ross dis- liked Johnson immensely, and was not of his party, he voted not to convict. The decision did not come easily, but in the end the senator decided to vote in favor of what was best for the country. In later writings he wrote, “. . . if the President must step down. . . a disgraced man and political out- cast . . . upon insufficient proofs and partisan considerations, the office of President would be degraded, cease to be a coordi- nate branch of the government, and ever after subordinated to the legislative will. It would practically have revolutionized our splendid political fabric into a question of nonpartisan Congressional autocracy.” There is so much more about this incident in the book. I hope you take the time to read this chapter as it gives valuable and pertinent background on this time period and the political cli- mate which was stormy to say the least. It took courage for Ross to vote “No” with the knowledge that this single act of courage would end his career. His life was threatened, he was physically attacked, and became an outcast and martyr until later, when it was observed that his one act of respecting the office of president “saved the country from a calamity greater than war.” Let me use the “mother-in- law” analogy in regards to defaming one’s character to another: You may not love, like, approve, or condone her actions, but she still deserves the respect 707-485-0700 or 800-332-9683 of her “position” as the mother of your spouse and grandmother of your children.

THE LEARNING CHALLENGER by Robert Barnett

DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
