Nica: Bishops Warn of Disenchantment

from El Diario La Prensa 11/20


NICARAGUAN BISHOPS WARN OF DISENCHANTEMENT WITH NEW GOVERNMENT

The Nicaraguan Bishops Conference issued a pastoral letter
in which it said that "in light of the difficult situation of
poverty, corruption and social deterioration which the country is
experiencing," there is a disenchantment and lack of confidence
in the "model of democracy which was sold to the people to
replace Sandinism."  Nicaraguan Cardinal Miguel Obando y Bravo
urged the government and politicians to come up with a
satisfactory solution to the problems of "this poor Nicaraguan
people. At this time we must dispense with egoism and personal
or party interests and think of the well-being of the poor
Nicaraguan people."

Obando y Bravo said it was necessary to have a dialogue between
the highest levels of government and advesary politicians, and
that not only the government but the private sector as well must
contribute to finding a solution to the high unemployment rate.
For this, however, there must be stability in the country, in
order for there to be investment in the country. (AP 11/20)

  I just got off the phone with somebody on the Pastors for Peace
FriendShipment to Cuba, which is attempting to deliver medical supplies,
bicycles and bibles to that country, in defiance of the U.S. blockade
against Cuba.  The U.S. government has threatened to arrest the people
on the caravan.  The caravan will be heading into Texas tomorrow
(Monday), and intends to cross the border into Mexico later this week.
But the Foreign Assets Control Office has recently stated that they
won't let them cross into Mexico, and if they attempt to, they will
likely confiscate the trucks containing the humanitarian aid and bibles.
I also heard that the Federal government notified the local and state
police in Texas, because they want to arrest them in a place where the
media won't be able to cover it.

  So, PLEASE CALL THE FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL OFFICE:

	>>>    Richard Newcome at 202-622-2510    <<<

	Tell him to allow the FriendShipment caravan with the medical
	supplies through to Cuba.

  Also, call your Senators and sympathetic Representatives and ask them
to put pressure on Costums and Immigration to let the carvan through!

Today the Office of the President-Elect in Washington has began
electronic distribution of statements by the President-Elect.
As of this date, no policy statement has been released on
the frequency of distribution through this channel.  Nor has
a plan been released for on-going two-way communication.
However, given the interest of some transition team members
in the full utilization of electronic channels, it is expected

THE EFFECTS OF NUKES ON THE FORMER SOVIET UNION'S ECOLOGY
 The following comes from R. Australia:

The former Soviet Union is seeing pollution-related diseases,
soaring infant mortality rates and sickness related to pollution in
rivers and water supplies. According to the Guardian newspaper, for
the first time it is being admitted that whole areas of the former
Soviet Union have been devastated by the nuclear testing program.
Civilian casualties affected by radiation resulting from the
testing amount to millions.

Prof. David Marple(?), Professor of Soviet history at the
University of Alberta, Canada and the author of three books on the
Ukraine and Chernobyl, recently returned from the beleaguered
Russian federation. According to him, more and more information is
now surfacing about the Russian nuclear testing program and the
effects of the Chernobyl accident:

"When the Cold War was at its peak in the 1960's, in areas of
Kazakhstan the generals decided that the mock battle that was
taking place between the various sectors of the Red Army would be
much more realistic if you could actually detonate a real nuclear
device in between the two sets of soldiers. And they proceeded to
do this. They detonated an actual device in the middle of a mock
war game.

"When you read things like this you begin to wonder just how high
the casualties have been in the past. We've known about the
accident in the 50's, for example, in the Urals, which completely
eliminated several villages.

"Chernobyl is an accident with some precedents. This is not the
first major nuclear disaster to take place in the USSR. It just
happened to be the first one that we know something about."

The Chernobyl accident happened in 1986. For most people, it is
just a dim memory. But for the researchers who work in the area,
and for the victims, the full extent of the impact of this disaster
is still unfolding.

Says Prof. Marple: "In its more international aspect, it is being
left to small groups of scientists now. The effects of Chernobyl
today are explored less than six years ago. It's a mistake to think
otherwise, but I think the general conception is that the disaster
happened and the radio-active fallout occurred, and so gradually
the situation will improve. That fact is that many of the radio-
active particles that were released in Chernobyl have a certain
half-life and then they decompose into other substances. These
other substances are sometimes much more toxic than the original
ones. So in fact the situation will get worse rather than better.

 Springfield Boycott in Oregon

Despite the failure of Ballot Measure Nine, Oregon still has the nation's first
anti-gay ordinance, which passed earlier in the year in the logging town of
Springfield.  Measure 20-08 bans laws that protect gays and lesbians from
discrimination, as well as prevents the city of Springfield from "facilitating"
homosexuality.

Loretta Neet, local sponsor of the measure for the Oregon Citizen's Alliance
(OCA), claims that the ban has had no adverse effects to Springfield.  Scott
Lively, OCA Spokesperson, claims that Springfield has experienced a growth
spurt since passage of Measure 20-08.  Springfield's Mayor Bill Morrisette
claims that the initial outrage over the measure has subsided, and that they
receive only letters of praise for their pioneering work in discrimination. Lon
Mabon, Executive Director of the OCA, has pledged to export their anti-gay
legislation to neighboring states, including Washington and California.

Both Loretta and Mayor Bill have stated that they just want their little city
to be left alone, so they can administer their hate laws away from the glare of
the media.  Please join the rest of Oregon in continuing to remind Springfield
that legislated hatred will not be tolerated.  If you have the opportunity to
visit Springfield, it lies at the southern end of the Willamette valley, 2
hours south of Portland and just across the freeway from the far more tolerate
city of Eugene.  Stores that honor diversity will have signs in their windows.

   WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sixty-one percent of Americans surveyed say
President-elect Clinton should delay his promise to lift
restrictions on gays in the military, Newsweek reported Saturday.

   Support for the proposal to permit homosexuals in the armed
forces dropped from 59 percent in August to 48 percent currently,
said the magazine's Nov. 30 issue, which goes on sale Monday.
   That's the first time since 1977 that support to end the ban on
homosexuals in the military has dropped below 50 percent, Newsweek
said.
   More than half of those surveyed, 56 percent, did say gays
should be permitted to serve in a presidential cabinet.
   The Gallup Organization interviewed 764 adults Nov. 19-20 for
the Newsweek poll, which has a sampling error of plus or minus four
percent.

Rooting about in their mail server failed to elicit anything useful.

Actually, if other publishers put their errata out someplace, that would be

I think it must be fairly new because I haven't seen it before.  Just glancing
