Europe should defend Europe with US backing withdrawn
In a wide ranging view, the author argues US troops in Germany are unlikely to face a Soviet threat, urges Europe to take more responsibility for defense, and envisions NATO evolving into a more limited American role. The piece notes Germany’s reunification, Europe’s democratic gains, and warns against full US isolationism while calling for a world class navy and economic focus at home.

From Dodge to Graham a sports editor's farewell
In May 1986 I earned my diploma and soon left Wellman Brownfield for Graham to become sports editor. I reflect gratefully on First Baptist Wellman and readers who shaped four years, thank mentors, co editors, and friends, and note proximity to Dallas area teams, Possum Kingdom, Whataburger, Blue Bell, and a shift to covering sports and education in District 4 3A.

Footnote to History: Texas Banking Distrust Persists
Texas led the nation in failed banks and banned banks in its early constitutions. After 1845, 1876, and until 1905, state chartered banks were prohibited. S. M. Williams of Galveston issued promissory notes in 1853, was jailed for legality, fined $100,000, and ordered to liquidate. A Texas Supreme Court ruling upheld the law. Texans still wary of banks as shown by a recent poll.

Nitrate Contamination in Water Sources and Risks
Nitrate in water can come from chemical fertilizers animal wastes and septic systems. Infants under six months are at risk of methemoglobinemia blue baby disease from nitrate to nitrite. older individuals tolerate it better though long term effects and cancer risk remain uncertain. In Texas areas nitrate levels exceed 10 ppm nitrate nitrogen so health officials urge using alternative water for infant formula and foods.
