time 20 stop for a while and take
stock in ones way of thinking.
OF course. this vicious attack on
the Governor reeks of politics.
and poorly timed incursiOn at
that.
II is obvious that Anderson
and his group are still burning
from defeat of having the Gov
ernor's plane suit thrown out Of
court, and possibly from his re-
cent unexpected return from
out-of-state Just as the 1t Gov

IL we were in the Governors
chair and getting no more co
operation from the Attorney
General than he is at the presen;

he was eleeted by Republicans
and Democrats alike. and for the

ply to all public officials. and,
particularly those who are con-
Stantly bucking the tide of pub
