My goodness!! I can't believe anyone is making a big deal out of this - oh, wait I remember now, Clinton! Living in Texas I guess we are more familiar with George W.'s history. I distinctly remember a news item in the Dallas Morning News back during the 1992 presidential election (George Sr. was Prez and running for reelection, remember). Dubya was then "owner"(ha ha ha) of the Texas Rangers - baseball team, not the law enforcement agency. There was a cute little human interest story in the sports section about Dubya's stepped up Secret Service protection - he had 4 agents assigned to him while he was in Florida for spring training. The article focused on the more amusing aspects of the situation, agents trying to look unobtrusive in Hawaiian shirts and khaki shorts, etc. I realize that his father was in office at the time, but it struck me as very comical that a middle aged man needed G-men to protect him when the most danger he would ever face was a hard hit foul ball down the first base line. Since former presidents' families are entitled to protection, I really can't see why such flap about Chelsea. Yes, she is an adult, just barely. Her mother is now a senator. She would seem to be a vulnerable target, and Secret Service protection is certainly not unjustified in my opinion. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 01:16:48 -0400 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Joni At Wembly in London in 1983..... Does anyone have this most excellent Amnesty International appearance on tree-able videotape or a stereo simulcast of the audio? A bug told me it's great. It's my favorite performance of "Chinese Cafe". I am totally hooked on that hypnotic coda and she really lingers over it in London.

I think that young woman (unlike others mentioned, due to her Mom and her family's prominence) would be a prime target of international or even some local crazy people. It's not her fault she needs the protection and I am sure it's a very cumbersome thing with which to exist. I sure wouldn't want it on my mind that I voted against such protection should she find herself in harm's way.

Do you propose that > all adult children of ex-president's have lifetime protection? Patti Davis? > Ron Reagan, Jr.? Amy Carter? Tricia Nixon? Caroline Kennedy? Oh, puh-leeze, he signed a directive for a few months of continuing protection, which may extend until she finishes her education. Hardly lifetime protection!!! The right-wing press is playing up the "forever" aspect, rabid Clinton-haters that rightwingers are. In the same directive he also extended protection for Al Gore. Considering the hatred some people feel for the Clintons, which is obvious even on this list, I think it's a good idea that Chelsea have continuing protection. Until when? Until the rightwingers find another target to project their inner hatefulness on. Maybe China will kick in soon. > It's a > serious misappropriation NOT because they don't deserve protection but > because it was never the law before and still isn't, but he got it through > somehow on his own executive order. There's so much talk in general about Clinton's Executive Orders it seems he's the only President that ever signed them. Here's the link to all of the EOs: http://www.nara.gov/fedreg/eo.html#top. There isn't one about Chelsea's continuing protection. Debra Shea P.S. And $300 to buy my vote? Don't think so, especially since the refunds jeopardize the future of programs beneficial to most of us (but not ones that Dubya's pals will need). NP: Nick Cave's newest, No More Shall We Part. Magnificent music; lots of wordy love songs, complex full of longing ones, with strings and simple piano... beautiful sounds. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 17:57:41 +1200 From: "hell" Subject: Buffalo Springfield - NJC For those interested, and I'm sure there are a few, here is a link to an interview from the Django Music site with Richie Furay about the new Buffalo Springfield box set, and the group in general: http://www.djangomusic.com/features/2001/010716_F2.asp You can also buy the box-set at a discounted price of $54.55 (down from $59.98). Now let's see, how much in NZ money is that? $140? I think I'll wait!

I do have a sense of humor, though! My favorite book of all time, the funniest book I have ever read, is Fanny Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe. It's better than the movie, although the movie is very good, too.
