      HUMOR
  
  Upon reading of his false demise, Bob Hope got off a great 
line should join Mark Twain's classical remark about reports 
of his death being greatly exaggerated:  
"They are wrong, aren't they?"

        COMMENT  

"...By and large, though, the characters are commonplace men or
women trying to get by in a world they didn"t make.
  Isn't this the way things usually are?
  A couple of years ago, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich went
on record decrying "counter-culture values" that are anathema 
to "normal" Americans.  Outside the Washingtopn Beltway,
America yawned and shook its collective head, or laughed out 
loud, and life went on.  Speaker Gingrich lives in the past; 
his "counter-culture" is what every American experiences as part 
of his or her daily life. He might as well have demanded 
legislation repealing the laws of gravity. He doesn't have a 
clue.
That's the rhetoric of reactionary politics.  This is a fact:
nothing stays the same."

             Allen Steele in introduction to his book
             "ALL-AMERICAN ALIEN BOY"
 
  Seems to me that both Newt and Mr. Steele could adjust their
nominal view points a bit.  To call the counter-culture abnormal 
seems unfair, and Mr. Steel might consider that at least 
some traditional religeous values are not outdated as yet.
