The House backed a three year raise to 4.55 for experienced workers after a two month training wage of 3.85, while Bush insists on a 4.25 ceiling with a 3 month training at 3.35. Senate follows House, but Congress lacks votes to override a veto, effectively opposing any wage hike.
The National Academy of Sciences released a plan after three years and review of over five thousand papers. Eat sensibly is the core message. Limit fats to thirty percent of calories, cholesterol to one egg and two pats of butter, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, keep protein at six ounces daily, skip salt and limit alcohol to two drinks a day. Consume only what fits on a nine inch dinner plate once.
A reader criticizes the paper for sloppy language and misused phrases, citing errors like laissez faire misread as lazy fair and peaked vs piqued. The letter urges careful editing to improve vocabulary and avoid propagating grammar mistakes among readers.
Dorothy Mollett of 802 Spruce claims Otasco bankruptcy under Chapter 11 harms customers in Ottawa. She says overpayments, mismatched receipts, and aggressive bill collection persist despite paying balances, and urges others to oppose Otasco reopening locally.
Earl J Zimmerman praises a Sunday cantata at Ottawa University Chapel attended by members from 14 different churches. He notes the event filled the chapel, thanks Date Fox and organizers, and urges continued yearly performances to keep Ottawa’s Christian community strong.
The narrator reflects on aging, identity, and how people see themselves and others in a mirror like experience. He recalls wanting to resemble movie stars, notices his own resemblance to his father, and laments aging as his family grows older. Easter visits underline senility jokes and the danger of mocking the elderly.
Washington observers note the case is as much political as criminal. Oliver North defends himself against lying to Congress and destroying documents while defending actions as necessary to aid the Contras. A verdict within about ten days seems likely, with jurors attentive though challenged by distant context.
A satirical exchange paints President Bush as cautious in reacting to Alaska oil spill and Exxon fault, while mocking a dramatic ship DUI analogy. The banter compares ship and car guidance, notes cleanup by troops, and questions legal redress for wildlife damage.
