Bartlett selectman says president circumvented process, eliminated public input Bartlett Selectman Gene Chandler is doing all he can to stop President Clinton's roadless directive for the national forest. He will be contacting towns which border White Mountain National Forest urging them to write letters opposing the plan. He has also filed a bill in the N.H. House of Representatives, where he serves as majority leader, to send a strong message to the Oval Office opposing the plan which would ban logging on an estimated 320,000 acres in White Mountain National Forest. "I'm certainly very much opposed," Chandler said. "I don't ...

A member of Sen. Robert G. Torricelli's 1996 fund-raising committee admitted in court yesterday that he made $2,000 in illegal contributions to the New Jersey Democrat's campaign.     Carmine Alampi, the former treasurer of the Bergen County Democratic Party, is the third person to admit wrongdoing in the campaign, and the first connected to the campaign itself.     Mr. Alampi, 46, pleaded guilty to aiding a campaign-finance violation, which could get him a year in prison and a fine of $25,000.     Mr. Alampi took $2,000 from David Chang, a major political donor whose offices the FBI searched in October. He then donated $1,000 to the ...

If air-traffic controllers along the busy Northeast corridor didn't have enough to worry about these days -- what with the ever-so-occasional plane mysteriously dropping out of the sky -- there's a new concern.     The airways are about to become more clogged with politicians.     "The frequency of presidential aircraft movements in the eastern region has significantly increased within the last few months. With the upcoming election year, many more are expected."     That's what the Federal Aviation Administration's manager of operations, John G. McCartney, warned air-traffic controllers from Virginia to New York in a recent internal memo.     "Presidential aircraft," he said, is not just "Air Force ...

It is live. I am near Seattle. And it is relevant. The American Dream - Fact or Fancy IntroductionThomas O'BrienC. R. Harmon1975 The American Bicentennial is coming none too soon. It offers us the opportunity to stand aside and evaluate the shifts of the past 200 years. We are entering upon a world of ideas and values that is drifting swiftly, and somewhat blindly, on powerful sub-cultural currents. A sub-cultural current is a drift in human affairs that is almost totally subconscious - certainly not openly and clearly recognizable. These currents are dangerous in proportion as they are undetected. Just ...

Hot Flashes in Hillaryland Partisans of Hillary Rodham Clinton are in a lather over Gail Sheehy's new biography of the quasi-candidate for Senate, and White House press secretary Joe Lockhart is peeved at The Source for daring to mention a new National Enquirer expose alleging divorce talk between the first lady and President Clinton over Mrs. Clinton's budding New York campaign. First, Sheehy, who made her reputation writing bestsellers as the minstrel of menopause: One theme in "Hillary's Choice" is that the first lady's late father, Hugh Rodham, was overly demanding and cold. As evidence, Sheehy offers the factoid that ...

It calls for continued efforts to strengthen and preserve the 1972 Anti-ballistic Missile Treaty between the United States and ...

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - American authorities knew in 1993 of the mass graves now being uncovered here but didn't act because Mexican police and drug traffickers were thought to control the secret cemeteries, former U.S. agents said Wednesday.Associated Press Investigators carry a body bag into a rental truck at a ranch south of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The body was one of three that authorities confirmed finding Wednesday. Five bodies have been recovered since agents began searching the mass graves.

A Different Interpretation Magazine: Pilots Worked Together to Try to Save EgyptAir Plane By Hoda Abdel-Hamid ABCNEWS.com C A I R O, Egypt, Nov. 30 ? An article in an Egyptian government-run magazine that gives a very different interpretation of the final moments of EgyptAir Flight 990 than has appeared in U.S. news media has become a hot topic among many Egyptian citizens. The well-regarded and generally trusted weekly Rose el Yousef, Egypt?s most-read magazine, gives a much more benign version of what happened in the cockpit leading up to the flight?s final moments than what has appeared previously. The ...

America has not faced up to the most terrible possibility of our age -- the possibility of nuclear war. The actual existence of thousands of nuclear weapons is a fact that cannot be denied. And with a long future stretching before us, who seriously believes that another great war is ultimately avoidable? Today the best weapons, the most efficient weapons, are nuclear and biological. Those who refuse to see this are not grown-ups and are not living in reality. For the rest of the article, please go to The Final Phase by J. R. Nyquist.

Dear Santa, What about those elves that work for you? If you ask me, they don’t look very diverse. In fact, every time I see them on the Santa specials, they look like a bunch of White Euros to me, albeit short white people. And what’s with their little uniforms they wear? They all wear the same little fascist uniforms, and if you ask me, we have a cult on our hands. They’re all holed up in that compound on the North Pole, making toys without a license, and they don’t pay any taxes. It wouldn’t be so bad if ...

I've been watching Northwest Cable TV out of Seattle for hours. Now it appears that a growing crowd estimated at 2,000 is trapped in about a 2-block area between two lines of officers. This is in the residential area of Capital Hill, on Broadway about 12th. It's just been reported that sheriff's vehicles are pulling in, and the crowd is getting loud.

DEAR SIR, My letters to you last winter, on the subject of a well balanced national government for the United States, were the result of a free enquiry; when I passed from that subject to enquiries relative to our commerce, revenues, past administration, &c. I anticipated the anxieties I feel, on carefully examining the plan of government proposed by the convention. It appears to be a plan retaining some federal features; but to be the first important step, and to aim strongly at one consolidated government of the United States. It leaves the powers of government, and the representation ...

Police Commission Supports The Proposal http://www.channel2000.com/news/stories/news-19991202-054416.html LOS ANGELES , Posted 10:53 p.m. PST December 1, 1999 -- The controversial proposal to end all ammunition sales within Los Angeles city limits has just moved one step closer to reality. On Tuesday, the Police Commission voted 3-2 to recommend that the City Council pass the proposal. While acknowledging that endorsing such a ban could be more symbolic than practical, Commission President Gerald Chaleff told reporters he supports any effort to reduce gun-related violence. "Sometimes making a statement is enough, even if all we're doing is making a statement," he said to a ...

John DiStasso's Granite Status: Bush challenge is to satisfy expectations By JOHN DiSTASO, Senior Political Reporter ONE DEBATE, MANY QUESTIONS. Can he be affable without smirking? Can he exude confidence without a hint of condescension? Can he show decisiveness without arrogance? We’ll see tonight, because George W. Bush will be on stage alongside his GOP rivals for the first time in tonight’s FOX News Channel and WMUR forum/debate. There will be other watershed moments in this campaign, but tonight is the most important yet on the GOP Presidential side. Even Democrats will watch with interest. Unlike WMUR, which ignores any ...

How Many Are Leaving Over Anthrax Shots? / Units Won't Count Resignations Until The Pilots Are Out The Door By David Castellon A New York congressman tells a congressional subcommittee more than two dozen Air National Guard pilots from his state's 105th Airlift Wing have resigned rather than receive anthrax vaccinations. A spokeswoman for the wing says nobody resigned over the shots. Who's telling the truth? Both are -- depending on how you interpret the available information. And such interpretations are sources of many headaches for people on both sides of the military's anthrax controversy. For example, a pilot for ...

EDITORIAL: A circus in Seattle A Washington Times Editorial McDonald's was under attack in Seattle this week. So was Starbucks, the GAP and FAO Schwarz. People dressed up as turtles, pigs, vegetables and Superman. The mayor of Seattle declared a civil emergency and imposed a curfew. In London, hundreds of protesters ignited a fire outside a train station. Is this the millennium madness many have been bracing for? Probably not. The object of so much protest is the meeting of World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle this week. Quite an eclectic crew has gathered to demonstrate against the world body ...

Is The Gummint Peekin' At Us? Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 05:57:42 -0500 By: "Stuart Miller" Just Because They Aren't Out To Get You Doesn't Mean They Won't Technological inevitability is easily mistaken for governmental conspiracy. I keep hearing that the government spies on us. Its purposes are said to be dreadfully nefarious, usually the establishment of a dictatorship. Our privacy disappears. The Feds probably have a vast listening post in Roswell, New Mexico, where the Air Force stores dead Martians. One night, FBI agents in black helicopters will fly through our windows and plant chips in our heads. ...
