CINCINNATI It was when I saw his gun poised in the air and pointed at my face that the helpless insanity of it all hit me A photographer and I had gone to the drug and violence plagued neighborhood of Winton Terrace to talk to neighbors about a shooting that had oc curred there the day before The time: just shy of 3 pm broad daylight We stopped at one of the dozens of apartment ouuaings tnat line Winneste Avenue hoping to find some one who had seen suspected drug deal er Deandre Childs 20 gunned down on the same street less than 24 hours earlier I made my way inside an apartment where a 32 year old mother and her seven children their stake was more important than our lives Clad in ski masks and obvious ly holding command over the neighborhood they could kill us and likely never be caught never identified Outside the gunman and his friend had left truck and were standing about 12 yards away watching and waiting We stepped just outside the door and began again to shout that we were not cops If Another child has been tragically murdered by a live in boyfriend When are feminist child abuse experts going to recog nize that married parents are far safer for children than a frac tured family of unmarried adults? Too many child advocates hold marriage in low esteem They applaud our teaching that there are many kinds of families married unmarried or whatev er all morally equivalent That is a plain lie How many more kids have to suffer abuse and die? tographer Bruce Crippen was outside taking a picture A scattering of male teen agers began collecting They like us being there Soon they were yelling curs ing threatening us They said they need any more police there and they want ed us out I stepped outside to tell them we were reporters that be leaving soon They con vinced I pleaded a more fervent case shouting to the belligerent group of about 10 or 12 I heard an angry voice to my left and I saw him He was about eight yards away wearing a dark ski mask and a baggy sports coat and holding a silver semi automatic handgun need no cops he raised his gun and pointed I guess if he had wanted to kill me he would have Or maybe I move faster than I give myself rocks and cement pieces and swinging clubs There was no phone no way to get help We were trapped The mother had told me earli er that livingin Winton Terrace was like being locked up Her children play out side When she needs to leave she darts out the door to her car and later bolts from her car back to the safety of her home been trying to get out of the projects for a year but once you get into the projects you get out afraid someday something will happen to one of the the mother said Standing in the middle of her living room where the shades are always drawn and the front door like the back is kept boarded up I realized that could be today I tried the back door again but the gunman was still there He started to raise the pistol a sec ond time In the middle of the afternoon in Cincinnati we were being ter rorized and threatened with death The men thought wc were endangering their turf their drug headquarters To them LANCE GAY Scripps Howard News Service MANAMA Bahrain Two years after the Persian Gulf War Saddam Hussein is exhibiting a new and more agile campaign to defeat the United Nations sanc tions strangling his regime While all seems sweetness and light in Baghdad as weapons inspectors pick through chemical ar senal Western diplomats who monitor shifting moods predict just the lull before another series of firestorms Moving from the confrontation that prompted four days of US air strikes on Iraq in January propaganda machine shifted back to reconciliation with a desert sandstorm of state ments crafted to obscure the real issues Iraq oreign Minister Tariq Aziz insisted in a television in terview that Iraq views Kuwait now as closed Saadi Mehdi Saleh the speaker of parliament denied to rench reporters that Iraq has territorial ambitions in Kuwait senior Iraqi official has said that Kuwait is part of Mcriui said inese are personal opinions published in the Iraqi press It is also the opinion of a largest part of our a lie and not what Saddam himself has repeatedly said about Kuwait being 19th province On Jan 13 own press officer vowed in the gov ernment supported Baghdad daily Al Jumhuriya that shall return to Iraq in defiance of the Security Council and After finally relenting and permitting UN weapons inspec tors to return to Baghdad with out restriction Saddam still re fuses to acknowledge the legali ty of the no fly zones in northern and southern Iraq ac knowledge the legality of the of ficial border now settled be tween Iraq and Kuwait and turned over documentary evidence of long range missile and nuclear programs Iraqi diplomats insist they have turned over information to UNUnspectors but that no mat ter what information they give never enough Western diplomats' say clear that behavior shows stalling and be trusted Iraq also is stepping up its ef forts to exploit cracks in the al lied resolve offering to buy new weapons from cash starved for mer Soviet industries and proposing lucrative oil contracts to the rench who have long re sented being pushed out of the Middle East earlier in the centu ry The next big confrontation is expected to come in March with the expiration of a memoran dum of understanding allowing UN relief agencies to provide food and medicines to the Kurds in northern Iraq Iraq resents the relief opera tion and insists it has never per secuted the Kurds Iraq has also objected to the use of UN guards to deliver food and medi cine charging they are spies for the West I was a subscriber to The Tulsa Tribune since moving to Tulsa in 1935 and certainly regretted its demise I must say I enjoy The Sentinel and wish you every success I am not a TV buff but a radio buff Would it be possible to publish a radio guide for the various Tulsa stations? Thanks for listening Married parents are far safer for children LORAL HAVEN TULSA or us it was only a brief brush with the daily terror that torments Winton Terrace A11X So we have five Call the Sentinel messages (eb 4) lambasting Steve Smith for daring to question Limbaugh the veracity I spoke with at least 10 people who agreed and applauded opinion Ah but we call because we have a life apart from defending Limbaugh I only listened to that windbag twice realizing immediately that he needs a reality check on his motor mouth Way to go Steve! If rights abused all will suffer Christians have suffered since the time of Christ If we allow rights to be abused ultimately all will suffer Remem ber that Hitler based his holocaust against the Jews on the fact that when the Turks massacred over 15 million Armenian Chris tians in the begining of this century no one stopped it Think Name things for those young enough to enjoy it? The University of Oklahoma is going ahead with plans to estab lish an endowed chair of law named for Anita Hill who will he the first holder of this chair Is this in the grand tradition of Okla homa to name things for individuals while they are young and can enjoy it? It brings to mind Sutton Stadium and the inis Smith Clinic Confidentiality law hides names of murderers How long will the newspapers radio and television allow the child welfare department to hide behind that confidentiality law? We never see any editorials about someone getting legisla tion so that we can get this changed so that we can start finding out who the murderers are in child welfare credit for I dashed back inside where the children already were on the floor their heads covered We heard shots A couple of the children started to scream one was crying Their mother was calm Please stay on the floor Get away from the win dows Do like We tried the back door but the gunman and a friend already had circled to the back vard They were beating let us get to the truck we would truck smashing the windows go and leave them alone and battering the body with The two were beyond negotia tion But a woman who had joined them grabbed one by the arm and urged him to let us leave The gunman wa shouted for us to go Iraq trying new tactics Story of young mother be printed The story year old has healthy in the Jan 21 Sentinel shouldnt have been printed Why would an 8 year old want to as influence for recognition and the almighty dollar to pull off a stunt like this Sentinel please exer cise caution when using stories of this nature rather read this type of hype on the front of checkout counter newspapers Business world easier than teaching Teachers get out of education nmv muni uvu vujn uic uuai ness world In 12 months I do about a third of the work that you I nn in nine mnnfkn zJ 1 111 selling twice me pay mere are no irate parents there no vindictive administration and there is no cheating by the students There are company parties a pension plan benefits everything you have as a teacher Pro abortion Republicans seek to purge foes I sorry to see that pro abortion Republicans are trying to purge everyone from the party who agree with their sin gle issue politics Because we do not take a wishy washy stand on tms and other issues our party has grown with new members but the liberals want to kick them out Look who is intolerant of di versity now OSU activity fees used as political tool I question the constitutionality of forcing all OSU students to pay the activity fee As long as these fees are being used as a po litical tool by homosexual groups or any other radical groups to impose their ideologies and personal beliefs on students the pay ment of the fee should be voluntary The gays like to call it I call it offensive propaganda Sentinel is a wolf in clothing When The Tulsa Sentinel first came out I was overjoyed Here was an alternative to the Tulsa World hiinnh mu I friends to purchase and look at your newspaper But with your ar ticle on nudity and Steve attack on Rush Limbaugh your paper is just a wolf in clothing never purchase anoth er one Maybe the Daily Oklahoman is the last chance for this state CALL THE SENTINEL 747 0613 day or night You need not give your name All responsible comments will be considered for publication but we reserve the right to edit them Items criticizing a private individual will not be considered Callers with news tips are asked to give their names and phone numbers so we may contact them for additional information Most will never approve gay lifestyle Though they will eventually accept equal treatment for gays under the law as they have for blacks most Americans will never give their approval to this alternative lifestyle Detesting the lifestyle the majority do not want it crammed down their throats nor are they willing to grant special privileges to those who prac tice every kind of deviant behavior Lest they run the risk of being driven back into the closet by a massive public reaction gays had better tread softly while flaunting their lifestyle Great presidents are willing to take the heat President Clinton is destined to be an unpopular president as he doles out the medicine every American must take to cure the ills However if the medicine works and the country is restored to economic health all his actions may be forgiven and he may find his nook in history along with Lincoln Roosevelt Truman and Kennedy His unpopular position on gays in the mili tary shows that he is willing to take the heat necessary to become a great president Clinton sold out to gay community tin i i i ftj nneie uiu vjimun geimejaea ne wasan nut tn thn ernv nnmmnnifv nritlmnf VZ vvz QHJ WiUlltUillVJ TtlllluUL WAlAAlg vllxz IvoV U1 LllAz resent the fact that he would support a gay rights organization in me military to destroy tneir morale 1 am a veteran I know the chaos this would create This man is a draft dodger who decided to mess with the military I detest what doing He needs to be impeached reeze increases for federal employees too In his inauguration address Bill Clinton stated that all Ameri cans must sacrifice for the sake of straightening out the economy I did not however hear Clinton suggest a freeze on cost of living increases for all federal employees including Congress Radio buff suggests guide for Tulsa stations on three 'm fj I Lf Experience terrifying I 1.
