Rotarians Hear About New Books Etc.

Store Gene Schradcr, who says his wife, Linda, is the boss and knows books as good as anyone, presented a program on the Books Etc. store at 218 West Main Street when he spoke Wednesday noon at a meeting of the local Rotary Club. The new business is planning a grand opening next week. They buy, sell and trade books, and also sell out of print and antique books on the Internet. The business will offer coffee and cappuccino in the future.

Schrader said they have more that 25,000 books here, and another 70,000 to 80,000 at their store in Denver, Colo. Approximately 98 percent of the books are used. Books Etc. can find almost any book in the world for you in less than five minutes, through the Internet and other sources. Schrader was born and raised in Emporia, and he and his wife lived in Colorado the past 20 years.

They opened their first book store five years ago when they retired. Their daughters operate the book store in Denver. Mo Greenwood, Junction City, and Marv Criqui, Onaga, were visiting Rotarians, and Lavonna Criqui accompanied her husband to the meeting. Gene Colby, who now lives in Alamo, also attended.

Starr has been investigating allegations that Clinton had an affair with the former White House intern and later asked her to lie about it to lawyers in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit. The president, who has denied the existence of an affair and cover-up, is turning down invitations to testify in the investigation. In a ruling made public Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Norma Hol-loway Johnson said prosecutors' interests are important enough to compel Clinton confidant Bruce Lindsey and presidential adviser Sidney Blumenthal to answer questions despite a claim of executive privilege. In Ginsburg's letter he said Starr had abused the power of the office of independent counsel and called on Clinton to fire him.

Plant To Be Located In Chase County COTTONWOOD FALLS --Chase County will be the home of a new manufacturing plant that will bring 40 new jobs with it by spring LOS ANGELES (AP)Monica Lewinsky, holding her father's hand, arrived at a federal building this morning to give handwriting, fingerprint and voice samples as part of the investigation into her alleged affair with President Clinton. "My daughter is a pawn. Kenneth Starr is trying to use her as a pawn to get the presidency. It is unfair. It is totally un-American," her father, Dr.

Bernard Lewinsky, told a crush of reporters surrounding them as they entered the building. Ms. Lewinsky had no comment and looked forward without expression as she was met by five FBI agents. Arriving at the federal building around 8:20 a.m., Ms. Lewinsky's lawyer, William Ginsburg, would not comment.

"Back off," Ginsburg said when confronted by reporters about an open letter of his that was published in a legal magazine. In the letter, Ginsburg lashed out at Starr and accused him of ruining the lives of Ms. Lewinsky and members of her family in pursuit of a probe that, at most, "may have succeeded in unmasking a sexual relationship between two consenting adults." The statement by Ginsburg in the magazine California Lawyer was not a confirmation that Ms. Lewinsky had sex with Clinton, Ginsburg's colleague was quick to clarify. "Monica Lewinsky and President Clinton have both denied a sexual relationship and nothing has changed on that," Nathaniel Speights, Ms.

Seeks Re-election Robert Mark has filed by petition for the Democratic Party nomination for Morris County Commissioner, 1st District. He has served as commissioner from the district the past 10 years. He was appointed in 1988 to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Charlene McRae, and then was elected to four-year terms in 1990 and 1994. Mark has stated that he has appreciated the opportunity to make his contribution to the people of Morris County by serving as a commissioner, and hopes he has earned support for another term. He has noted the position takes much more time than it did when he first became a county commissioner.

This is partly because of increased state and federal mandates, and changing legislation that makes budget-making more complicated.
