A humorously skewed item on bat advocacy. The piece notes bats’ ecological value, ridicules public fear, and reports on the 30th annual North American Symposium on Bat Research in Miami. It mentions Speleobooks and captures bat facts from several scientists, ending with a call to awareness.
An opinion piece argues bats are harmless flying mammals that care for young and help pollinate plants like agave. It notes bat meat consumption exists in some cultures, cites researchers, and urges respect for bats while avoiding risky encounters.
The Gazette argues Iowa should fund museums to stand out among states, describing the Iowa Child project as a museum at heart with an aquarium rain forest and academy. It cites National Arts and Humanities Month and cites museum attendance, affordable admission, school field trips, and examples from Hoover Library and local Iowa institutions. Timothy Walch, Hoover Library director, is named.
The piece argues that both major candidates boost military budgets while overall spending is wasteful. It points to misaligned priorities, Pentagon waste, base shutdown politics, and a flawed national defense strategy, calling for realistic defense reform beyond campaign rhetoric.
The piece argues Gore shows signs of a fading campaign as Bush seeks reform and optimism. It contrasts Gore’s fear tactics with Bush’s message of personal responsibility and positive leadership, predicting a Bush victory amid a wary national mood.
