An opinion piece argues that car and cigarette hazards should be clearly marked. It criticizes tobacco use and describes smoking steps in blunt terms, noting hundreds of thousands die annually and comparing risks to driving and NAFTA protests.
The piece questions whether the Justice Department is setting a dangerous precedent by intervening in local and state matters. It cites the Rodney King case and a Hanford shooting involving a Bakersfield gang member, arguing the investigation may be politically motivated or unjustified given the circumstances and evidence. It contrasts concerns about rogue officers with praise for the majority who risk their lives.
Roy Patrick comments on rude drivers and the lack of signal use. He cites California OTS director Peter O’Rourke on tailgating and lane switching as major hazards, notes Caltrans’ $1.2 billion annual congestion cost, and argues education efforts depend on recognizing personal fault.
The piece reflects on birth as a natural birth and the Bible claim of spiritual birth. It cites Nicodemus and Jesus, explains being born of water and the Spirit, and cites Ezekiel and Isaiah to show God’s promise of inward change and a future kingdom available to all who are born again.
California Attorney General Lungren announces a coordinated response to a rash of hate crimes in October including firebombings at state offices and Jewish, Muslim, and civil rights sites. He praises community unity and pledges FBI and state agents to back local police, calling the acts a victory for Americans first.
A Richland Primary School student choked on a corndog at lunch. Janitor Dale Fout performed the Heimlich maneuver, dislodging the food and likely saving the boy's life. The writer thanks Mr. Fout for his quick, life saving action.
