Uma senhora vai 'a sua terapeuta sexual e diz-lhe que o marido nao e'
um bom amante e que nao sabe o que ha'-de fazer. A terapeuta diz-lhe
que tem umas pastilhas experimentais que talvez resolvam o problema:

- "Leve este frasco e de^-lhe UMA pastilha esta noite. Amanha venha
   contar-me o resultado."

No dia seguinte a senhora conta em e^xtase 'a terapeuta, que a pastilha
fez maravilhas, e que ela e o marido tinham tido o melhor sexo de
sempre. Depois pergunta-lhe o que aconteceria se usasse duas pastilhas.
A terapeuta responde que nao sabe, mas que ela pode experimentar.

No outro dia o mesmo. A senhora conta que foi ainda melhor e pergunta
o que aconteceria se usasse cinco pastilhas. A terapeuta diz-lhe que
nao sabe mas que tente, a ve^r o que da'.

No dia seguinte a senhora entra no consultorio, coxeando e cansada mas
feliz, e conta 'a terapeuta que o sexo melhora a toda a hora e quer
saber o que aconteceria se lhe desse o resto do frasco. Novamente, a
terapeuta diz-lhe que nao sabe, que a droga e' experimental e que nao
tem ideia das consequencias que um frasco de pastilhas pode causar num
ser humano. A senhora sai com ideias fixas.

Seis meses depois, um puto entra no consultorio e pergunta:

    Umas pessoas conhecidas voltaram de Portugal e fizeram o favor de me
trazer o jornal.  Esta um pouco atrasado, um dia, por isso eu so vou dar
conta das noticias que me pareceram mais importantes.

Aqui vai:

* Venda do Pao de Acucar fi adiada por mais um dia, ou seja deve ter
ocorrido hoje, isto se mais nada mudou. O comprador e o jeronimo
Martins, e pagou (ou  pagara) cerca de 50 mil contos.

* A direccao da Associacao Nacional de Municipios Portugueses reuniu-se
e recusa a transferencia de competencias do poder central para o local
nos moldes propostos pelo governo, visto oporem-se ao conteudo e a forma
do projecto de descentralizacao.  (talvez alguem mais informado possa
esclarecer este assunto um pouco melhor)

* Sao Tome pede apoio a Cavaco.  O primeiro-ministro sao-tomense
solicita alargamento da cooperacao bilateral nos sectores da formacao
profissional e do investimento privado, alem de apoio para o equilibrio
de balanca de pagamentos do seu pais.

* Projecto de lei do Ministerio da Justica privilegia portugueses na
adopcao de criancas [portuguesas].  Desta maneira a crianca so sera
adoptada por estrangeiros se nao puder ser por portugueses.  A adopcao
passa a ser mais regulamentada, e evita casos em que criancas saiam do
pais sem conhecimento das autoridades.

* A "Sagres" esta em Baltimore, onde permanecera ate 31 de Julho.

* Alunos estao pouco interessados em espanhol.  O ministerio tinha feito
um inquerito junto dos estudantes que deu a entender que eles estariam
interessados em aprender a lingua vizinha, mas quando chegou a altura
das matriculas poucos estudantes se inscreveram.  Parece que o mesmo
aconteceu em Espanha.

* Os estudantes da Universidade do Minho dao nota positiva ao ensino
naquela universidade.

* O vigilante de um predio da Rua Duarte Barbosa foi baleado durante o
servico.  Parece que ele notou um carro suspeito e quando se ia a
aproximar para falar com os ocupantes.  Estes deram um tiro na coxa
esquerda do vigilante e fugiram dali para fora.

NB: Parece que estas coisas ja nao acontecem so aqui nos EUA.


E tudo.  Quero so apresentar os meus sinceros agradecimentos ao Rui
Crespo    por se dar ao trabalho de fazer os "Resumos do Expresso" e as
"Ultimas do Burgo", e ao Joao Albuquerque pelo resumo do Independente,
porque isto ate da um certo trabalho. 
A ultima coisa e que isto nao vai acontecer mais vezes. Eu nao conheco
mais ninguem que volte de Portugal tao cedo.

Saudade,

Luis

	Uma coisa parecida foi este ano posta em pratica pela NBC aqui nos EUA. 
Quem quiser pagar $130 USD tem acesso 24 horas por dia a tres canais diferentes
por cabo que transmitem modalidades olimpicas, sem qualquer interrupcao para
publicidade.  Ignoro qual a qualidade da cobertura, pois so' tenho acesso aos
canais de publico acesso. 


	Mudando de assunto: numa outra noticia mandada para a rede era anunciada
a venda do Pao de Acucar ao grupo Jeronimo Martins por 50 000 contos (nao
faltarao aqui uns zeros nem nada ?).

	Se alguem tiver mais novidades olimpicas lusitanas, e as quiser partilhar
connosco. Sera' que nem uma medalhinha de bronze se consegue arranjar? O problema
foi a Rosa Mota + Carlos Lopes nos terem deixado mal habituados...

It would be helpful if you would/could elaborate, especially since
at least one other person here on the net has responded to me that
his children have not inherited a full citizenship with right of

There are very pragmatic reasons for having "rules" in warfare, and there must
therefore be more pragmatic reasons for breaking those rules. It has been stated
for millenia (see Sun Tze) that in war, one must always give one's enemy a way
to surrender (they don't fight to the death that way, thus taking less of a toll
on your own soldiers) and one must treat a captured populace with something
approaching respect (keeps down guerilla-type resistence). These "rules" are
not generally agreed upon because everyone involved is a "good guy"; it is
cost-effective, pure and simple. A reason for NOT treating prisoners or a 
captured civilian populace would be lack of resources to do the job effectively.
However, you must be prepared to accept to consequences of that.

Mike

I have received as unsolicited gifts the book of Koran, the Ramayana, the book
of Mormon, and several others. All were gifts from people who believed in the
religion that the book they gave me represented. I consider all of those books
treasured gifts from friends. I have learned a lot from each of the friends and
the books they gave me. Some of these friends are very dogmatic about their
religion, others are pretty passive. I have no idea as to the religious
leanings of many friends.

Mr. Kerry seems very insecure and threatened by people who are dogmatic and
evangelistic in their religious views. I don't think that all of the Japanese
people share Mr. Kerry's insecurities.

I have appreciated the various religious books that I have received as gifts. I
have appreciated them most when those gifts come with absolutely no strings or
pressures attached.

Why shouldn't I restrict the discussion to Asia?  The Orient even (I never
like the term Asians anyway.  Oriental with its perceived or not racial
undertones is better).  Anyway, the people of SE Asia and China are 
the ones I feel honor bound to feel guilty about.  Why should I bother to
mention the rest?  It doesn't really impinge on the current US/Japan atrocity
debate.  I don't mind being accused of racism since its true, but ignorance
I can't tolerate.  What was I being ignorant about?  The Russians?  The Jews?
The Abyssinians?  And don't forget the Japanese never signed the Geneva
convention (or ratified it anyway) at the time.

Just trying to be a good opponent.  :)
