Smith • Kathryn Jean Lopez Published by: The Human Life Foundation, Inc. New York, New York Vol. XXIX No.3 $7.00 a copy ABOUT THIS ISSUE ... ... the disconnect between hard-wired abortion elites and what an old Apple Computer ad campaign memorably called "the rest of us" is reaching grotesque proportions. A July 2 story in the Washington Times, for example, reported that "fifty-one percent ofwomen surveyed by the Center for the Advancement ofWomen [headed up by former Planned Parenthood president Faye Wattleton] said the gov­ ernment should prohibit abortion or limit it to extreme cases, such as rape, incest, or life-threatening complications" (my emphasis). But that didn't stop the New York Times from branding David Pryor, the pro-life attorney general of Alabama and Bush federal court nominee, an "extremist," whose views "fall far outside the political and legal mainstream" (July 23). To New York Times editors, and Senate Democrats now filibustering Pryor's nomination, "mainstream" means partial-birth abortion. How did it come to this? Long-time contributor (and political indepen­ dent) Mary Meehan reminds us that pro-lifers once held real power in the Demo­ cratic Party; they are not, she suggests, totally without blame for its having become the party of abortion ("Democrats for Life," page 63).

Patrick 2, Caleb 1 CRAGAN CRAGGEN CRAGIN CRAGON CRAGUN CRAIGEN (An Introduction to the Family of Cragun) Tradition in the family of Jean (Cragun) Tombaugh, tells that our ancestor was originally of Scotland and the name was McCRAGUN. Also, that Caleb Cragun moved from England to Ireland where he married and had children, one of whom was a son PATRICK, who came to America about the time of the Revolutionary War.1, 2. So, right or wrong, we will begin with the Craguns of Scotland. "CRAIGEN - Local. In 1272 the church of Cragyn (now Craigie) in Kyle was confirmed to the Monks of Paisley by THOMAS de CRAGYN son and heir of JOHN HOSE, who had assumed his surname from his lands (RMP., p.232). He may be the THOMAS de CREGEYN del counte de ARC who rendered homage in 1296 (Bain 11, p.206). ADE CRAGYNE who held a tenement of Irvine 1477 (Irvine, 1, p.149) most probably derived his name from the same source.
