The author recalls his own softball injury and contrasts public praise for Kerri Strug with scrutiny of athletes and parental pressure. He narrates slipping through a game with a broken leg, facing medical disbelief, and notes sponsors may hype Strug, while joking about future endorsements and offers.
The Gazette corrects a photo caption from Sunday’s issue that misidentified two attendees at a National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library fashion show. TaLisa Clark and Felicia Penza, both of Cedar Rapids, were among about 75 people present. The paper notes it will respond to accuracy complaints in this space. Phone 59B-B313.
The Gazette promotes agriculture by printing with soybean ink and recycles newsprint. Readers are encouraged to drop newspapers at City Garton in Cedar Rapids or recycle at the nearest location. The notice references the Cedar Rapids Gazette and postal information.
President Clinton signed a popular bill expanding taxpayer rights and IRS scrutiny. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights raises the sue cap to 1 million for reckless collections and gives taxpayers the power to challenge false filings. It strengthens the independent taxpayers advocate to force refunds and deadlines, promising less red tape and fair treatment.
President Clinton vetoed the TEAM Act a measure to promote non union work groups at plants and offices. Republicans argued it would spur discussion on quality control productivity and safety while labor groups warned it would encourage company unions and undermine collective bargaining. The veto followed Senate approval 53 16 and House 221 202. Negotiations on a broader minimum wage plan continued amid partisan tensions.
The Gazette invites organizations needing a guest speaker to contact managing editor Mark Bowden at 398-5869 for arrangements and scheduling.
