The more treatment" the higher the price. This is an example given for a reason. It points out a symptom of the grow ing spread of filth that is undermining this country, partly because YC J do not want to BECOME INVOLVED in the fight against it. Prostitution is called the oldest profession, and call girls are not new . Let me digress to refer to the first and fascinating history of the world, written by the Greek Herodotus about 800 years before the birth of Christ. He writes of an ancient Pharoh of Egypt who had his daughter work in a house of prostitution patronized by upper crust Egyptian males. Her purpose was to worm information from customers that might be useful in detecting the Pharohs enemies.

The problem so much one of the government protecting the consumer as it is the consumer (and taxpayer) from being protected big is Stand How Vietnam Was Lost by John F. McManus tyrannies that supplied the Asian Reds then, and still supply them today. The news out of Belmont, Massachusetts South Vietnam is full of Communist advance and South Vietnamese defeat. Yet the word defeat does not fully describe what is happening, for there have been no. major battles. The government forces have either unilaterally withdrawn or simply disintegrated conditions which indicate the breaking of the will to resist, an absolutely fatal development in any combatant. Along with the reports of the collapse, the press has been filled with a stream of photos depicting the pitiful attempts of men, women, and children to flee from the Reds. Each photo has served as a reminder of numerous snarling college students of the late 1960s who insisted that the Communists were liberators and that the Vietnamese people would choose Ho Chi Minh if given a chance to vote for him. None of those college geniuses wanted to be reminded that, in 1954, over one million Vietnamese had abandoned their homes and livelihoods in order to escape from Communist rule. As hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese again vote with their feet today, we wonder whether any of the militants who cheered for the Reds realize now how wrong they were, or whether any of them even care. What Went Wrong? To all intents and purposes, South Vietnam is lost. But it was not lost in the past month, and it was not lost when Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon agreed to their shameful treaty. South Vietnam was lost when Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon insisted that victory was not the goal in Southeast Asia. The fate of South Vietnam, and of the rest of Southeast Asia, was further sealed when Congress and those same Presidents inaugurated and increased our nations aid to and trade with the Communist nations of Europe. For it was those Results of the Vietnam War We attempted to tell those college audiences, and anyone else who would listen, that in addition to what had befallen the Vietnamese people, the Vietnam War had actually been a war waged on the American people by their own government. Because of the way it had been conducted, it had needlessly ruined our currency, demoralized our military, increased federal government power, divided our people, and weakened our nation psychologically all goals of the enemies of the United States for decades. Later on, we forecast that the peace with honor treaty of 1973, which left large portions of South Vietnam in the hands of the Communists and allowed the North to keep approximately 200,000 troops within South Vietnams borders, would only lead to the collapse now being witnessed by the whole world. Our Policy Must Be Changed The war in Vietnam dragged on for years because it served the purposes of those on both sides who so arranged it. The current advance of the Communist forces, and the spreading demoralization of any opposition to world tyranny, should come as no surprise to anyone. Americas dual policy of appeasement and support of Communism everywhere has invited the tragedy now befalling South Vietnam. It has also contributed mightily to the accelerating demise of our own national stability and independence. If allowed to continue, such conduct can only lead to the total triumph of tyranny. Unfortunately, there seems to be little reason to expect any change in the disastrous policies of the past few decades.

Happy Ending -- Chinese Proverb an 6-- THE A not government. - Consumer Protection Now for a story with a happy ending: A couple of years ago, the Federal Drug prescription. The Food and Drug Administration says it will drop its insistence that Administration arbitrarily decided that too many such megavitamins be sold as drugs. The effect will be to Americans were improving their health by taking natural remove that prescriptions will be required. vitamins. back to nature movement proved not to be just another fad, but plain common sense. Millions of people, of all ages, were happily learning how to improve their diets with natural foods (another name for what Grandmother cooked every day) and vitamins, when Big Brother decided this new individual responsibility was not under the control of the Feds. The FDA made its decision to place some popular vitamins under prescription only. The vitamins were to be classed as drugs, not as food supplements. This was too much government in more ways than one. Congress heard from the folks back home in no uncertain terms: Thou shalt not tread on me! The battle ended up in the courts Finally, freedom of choice won a battle. Big Brother did indeed back down. The FDA should stick to its original responsibilities of seeing that our food and drugs are pure. What we do with what we eat is no business of the Federal Government. Americans are sick and tired of being treated like children. Even though this battle has apparently been won, there is a larger one in the making. If the US Congress should pass a Socialized with in the defensive, change. The FDA on the for a refreshing The latest development, as reported in the March 31 US News and World Report, said: Vitamins of high potency soon will be classified as food instead of drugs and thus will continue to be available from pharmacies and other outlets without threat any Medicine freedom- go out the bill, will window in a hurry. Medicare and Medicaid have already cost of-choi- ce enormous sums of money and helped to create the high costs of hospitalization. The 20 billion or so tax money to be spent this year on Medicaid and Medicare would be a drop the bucket if everyone gets free medical service, under socialized medicine. If the government would get out of medicine and let private insurance get back in, we would all be better off, health wise as well as financially. Hospitals now run by the government, veterans especially hospitals, are under fire from Jack Anderson and other reporters. The picture is not very pretty. It is an indictment of government control. Why should anyone want to add more of the same type problems to all hospitals? recent survey by Private Practice (a medical journal) claims that 197,480 physicians A oppose National Health Insurance. 171,121 doctors would not encourage their sons and daughters to become physicians under National Health Insurance. 57,820 doctors said they would refuse to practice under socialized medicine. If so many doctors chose to quit, what kind of health care could we expect? Operations would be delayed for months. We would be told which doctor to use and the doctors would be told by the government what they could and could not do. Is this what the future of medicine is in the United States? Let us all join the big battle. It can be won, the small one already has been. We will pay a very dear price for the so-call- ed free our politicians want to give us. -- The American Way Features medicine Readers comments and questions are welcome.
