# The "Secret Lever"

(Cont. from page 24)

counts, but it doesn't. (It doesn't tabulate until the voter opens the booth to leave.)

He said that if they pushed the bottom lever down, and then pushed other levers down and then up, their votes would not be counted.

McDonald carried his protest over the system to City Hall, lost, and went to the courts. The courts denied his complaint.

McDonald then exploded in open court and castigated District Judge Rolf Fosseen, who fined him for contempt of court. McDonald refused to pay the fine; his lawyer paid it.

Last week he and his forces were picketing the Court House to protest the "secret lever".

But even here he seems to have lost: it was the same day the people of the

MCDONALD

American Indian Movement were protesting en masse at the Court House.

Janowicz said that while he was talking to the Daily American, the Indians were parading through the basement of the Court House.

"I haven't been able to see the McDonald forces," he said.

# THE LETTER FROM CHERYL

Dear Mr. Henry Kissinger...

Some day -- MAYBE -- one of your little beauties that you run around with will "kiss and tell" -- so that we can find out just what it IS that you have!!!...

Until then, tho... all I can say is -- that -- whatever it is that you've got -- you've REALLY got it!!!!

BOTH in your personal life and in the work you do for the President -- you apparently do a good job!...

So-o-o-o-o-o... I've got a really neat idea for you to work on...

There are hundreds of thousands of little orphaned babies and children over in Vietnam -- because of this war -- right???...

AND... there are hundreds of thousands of people in our country who want nothing more than to adopt a child -- ANY CHILD -- but there are just not enough babies and children to "go around" to these people -- right???...

So... why don't we bring the little Vietnamese orphans over here to be adopted by loving parents?????????!

Good idea????

Now... I know that there is a lot of "red tape" involved in adopting these children... and I know that it can take up to two whole years to get as few as twelve of these children over here for adoption...

BUT... WHY does it have to be this way?????...

Surely... a man such as you -- with all of your influence and all -- YOU should be able to make things easier to get homes for those little darlings -- shouldn't you?????

Look -- this is what you could do...

You could get a whole bunch of rich men together -- like Jeno Paulucci and Ilarold Greenwood, Jr. -- just to name a couple -- and you could have them rent -- (or BUY!!!) an airplane -- and go over to Vietnam and bring back all of the little orphans!...

That wouldn't be so hard -- would it????

Now... I know that the South Vietnamese officials aren't any too wild about the idea of having their orphaned babies brought up in a foreign country. They look to the children as the hope for the future of their country -- and that's only understandable...

BUT... couldn't you convince them -- that it would be far-far-far better to be brought up by loving parents in ANY country -- than to be raised in an orphanage???...

I mean... I have yet to hear of a person who was brought up in an orphanage say he was GLAD of it!!!...

Aw-w-w-w-w c'mon, Mr. Kissinger... will you do it?

Babies... children need love -- love from people... (no matter what country they live in)-- not a life in an institution.

WE will love them.

Very truly...

Cheryl

Henry Kissinger; -

I am writing this on your birthday,

wrapped around my wishes for your continued success
in getting everything you care for.

I am waiting for your book. It will take some time to come,
and although I am in perfectly good heath, the years left to me
are limited - therefore this writing:

I wonder, what point of view you will show
Naturally, you will be serious and history will be the ground

but there must be a human factor, and I wonder if you will show it
(it may not do you any good as far as book sales)

Your opinion of N. was low - and during the time you were
attached to him, must have gotten even lower -
yet you lived through it . . . was it not kind of a Hell ?

Whatever went wrong (politically) you will be blamed for
and perhaps with certain justifications. . .

But will it be known how much worse you prevented ?

You were N's tool - - - yes, yes, I know you were the
"Great Architect of . . ." Fine !
but if it had not been for N's "sick nature"
you would not have been in place to do it !

I felt great relief when your terrible responsibility ended,
and thankful that it ended without force or stain.
All men around N. have been destroyed in more or less degrees -
except you -

Yet I believe you paid a high price in living through that moral hell
with yourself during that time.

Maybe I overact - I see things because I want to see them.

You certainly did not lose your balance

for which I congratulate you.

May 1977
