There is diversity within dnersitv" Kunin piaised the adminisiiation for putting women in majei" policy positions. Shalala has bragged that this is the first administration in which a policy can percolate from the bottom ol a bureaucracy to the ()al Office 'without eer touching a man's hands." Rasco strongly defended Clinton's rccoid on women's issues, and discounted much of the discussion that evening because it took place at the dinner table. "I certainly wouldn't give low marks to the men who are (Cabinet) secretaries in this administration." she said. "But I think we ail try to thmk of ways to help llieni see !aw these issues are perceived by women, and why it is just not a male issue."' follow up ihnners and meetings never materialized, but the women believe the statement they made that night and subsequently helped re focus the White House's pi un ities. Rasco told us she even raised the meeting with President Clinton. Tyson, whose staffers have complained to senior W hite House aides in the past about her insufficient access to Clinton, said she supported the idea of a group of women going to see Clinton about women's economic issues. "I wouldn't have called such a meeting, but would have gone to such a meeting." lyson may be a living testament to the trials and li lbulations ol the women ('Initial is trvuig to reach.

Warning signs listed Dr. Jim Nelson Black has written a hook titled. When Xalions Die. in which he listed 10 w arning signs of a culture in crisis. They are pre found. I have listed them be iow and acknowledged their timeliness and importance. We should all give heed. I. The rising tide of lawlessness in American society. Gone is any sense of moral outrage and any sense of the naked affront to decency thai violent crime represents. 2 The loss of economic discipline. .V The societal curse known as bureaucracy. The proliferation of bureaucrats and bureaucratic methods is throttling the life from a once vigorous and productive nation. 4. The decline in educational excellence 5. The weakening of cultural foundations. We changed the values of the American mainstream and gave unprecedented credibility to all the beliefs and immoral behavior of the 'liberated' culture of the lelt. b. Loss of respect for tradition. Such was manifested in our great esteem of the law. our love ol family and our devotion to Christianity. Obsession with materialism. Achieving the American dream is identified with morality, which center on personal responsibility, are in deep trouble. lt. The decay of religious belief. When faith no longer informs our actions and gives direction to the hopes and dreams of the nation, things fall apart. 10. The devaluing of life. Since the legalization ol abortion by the Supreme Court, more than 32 million unborn babies have been killed. Attempts are now underway to legalize voluntary euthanasia. Once this is established, it will only be a matter of time until the involuntary killing ol the aged and infirm will be approved. "There are many ways that God may seize the attention of a people. He may send prophets, plagues or perils that cannot be ignored He max send storms or open their eyes. He may send revival, or he may send judgment and some terrible type of destruction. But when the time known only to God is fulfilled, and when his patience with our apostasy has run its course, he will move." Mike Thomas Pleasant Grove down to constitutional restraints, he said. "Government is not reason: it is not eloquence: it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." Barton .. Cm la Sandy U.N. fiendish, evil I'm writing in response to Mr. Baugh's letter concerning the United Nations, Headlights lauded I read, with interest, the letter written by Paul K. Edmunds who opposes daylight running lights on automobiles travel ing American streets. I. too. become frustrated by federal and local laws which regulate our lives but this happens to be one law our lawmakers got right. Having lived in Canada for many years. I find it nice to be able to see the opposition on the other side of the road. don't care if the statistics are "bent" when they show 13 percent fewer head-o- n this law is just good common crashes sense. I also suggest you contact your congressman and support this worthy law. DcMonic Vance Cardston. Alberta 1 Lessons of Waco Given to optimism. Americans are loathe to dwell on unpleasantries. In time, we seem capable of forgetting or forgiving almost any transgression. Even so. think, an unsettling disquiet prevails in our collective consciousness at the mention of "Waco" or "Ruby Ridge." These max well be w omuls that will never heal. It is not that we would have joined up with these "eultists" in their rejection of societal norms. For all we know, they were breaking the law. But they were attending to their own aflairs and most Americans would have preferred to leave them alone. Many who were raised in the West have ancestors who saw firsthand the ruthless oppression of unjust government and the excesses resulting in death, deprivation and suffering. The names Hauns Mill. Far West. Carthage and the Nauvoo of I84(S conjure up visions of monocracy, betrayal and a broken public trust. Waco is a long way from Nauvoo. But the fruits of oppression, no matter the cause, are always dead innocents, deprived of their constitutional rights. The issue here is not whether David Koresch was a martyr or a criminal. It is that American citizens, men. women and children, were subjected by the arbitrary decisions of public officials at the highest lev els to imminent danger. It should never have happened. Governments unfetteied in spirit or fact by the "chains of the Constitution" alway s resort to deadly force. We would do well to remember the words of George Washington as our government submits more of our money, prestige, military strength and national sovereignty to the arbitrary rule of the United Nations, in no way bound I which appeared in The Daily Herald's editorial section Oct. 25. It seems to me that his argument against the U.N.. by using LDS leaueis's feelings, was quite compelling. He might have included such statements by let us deceased E.ra T. Benson as. have no further blind devotion to the communist dominated United Nations." Of course, any such appeal to Mormons alone will be pointless, for we rep resent hut a miniscule minority in the population of this country. It does seem that it would sway some errant members of the' EDS Church into realizing that any global organization with any force to implement its resolutions against the will of the United States Congress is a breech of our nation's sovereignty, and is against the supreme law of the land. In EDS theology, this supreme law ol the land is the U.S. Constitution and is taught to be an inspired document. I his should end all debate by EDS membck about whether or not to support the U.N In the national mind nobody cares what the Moi mons think. So we must address the nation with historical fact, lor instance. Alger Hiss, who was the Secretary General ol the charier meeting of the U.N. in San Francisco testified betore Congress that lie was a communist agent Another example is the fiasco of Angola, in Africa. U.N. "peace keeping'" troops were sent to Angola bom mainly communist Cuba and North Korea. While there they slaughtered thousands of resistance lighters who were resisting the brutal communist dictatorship under which they lived. These "peace keepers"' even intentionally bombed a Red Cross hospital Enough examples of butchery. I could go on for hundreds of pages, but' I won't. The two aforementioned examples should alarm any sane American that we can't afford, both economically and morally, to support such a fiendish, evil organization. Rodnev .. McCntm Prove "...
