HI Fanchon
SOS Art Show (arts for peace)... Wednesday free concert at CCAC, outdoors, with food vendors,... Don't miss getting tickets for Muse concert--Cathy Roma's LAST ONE! It'll be a sell out... Important things in the Democracy/Community section; also in the Environment and Health section. I am running the piece about women's pelvic health a second time. So important. Then Articles; Reviews; readers' Letters. Enjoy!
Here's a TIP for the VIRTUAL SALON: After you read something, below, that interests you and you click on the "read more" link, you will be taken to the Internet to my Virtual Salon archive page for this date. BUT after you read the particular article you were interested in, it will continue to leave you right there to wade through the entire, lengthy Virtual Salon. You should instead toggle back to your email page and finish scanning the abbreviated V.Salon that came to you via email. I know that the entire edition is too long for anyone to read all of, including me. If you read the entire email version, however, you'll know what you want to check out and what to let slide, and then can hop around on the online archive version. Just a thought.
Hug to all,
Ellen

True story (Snopes verified) of German WWII pilot sparing wounded U.S. bomber ... and in old age the two men, both Americans after the war, became close. Ellen
The 21-year old American B-17 pilot glanced outside his cockpit and froze. He blinked hard and looked again, hoping it was just a mirage. But his co-pilot stared at the same horrible vision. "My God, this is a nightmare," the co-pilot said. "He's going to destroy us," the pilot agreed.
The men were looking at a gray German Messerschmitt fighter hovering just three feet off their wingtip. It was five days before Christmas 1943, and the fighter had closed in on their crippled American B-17 bomber for the kill. Brown's Crippled B-17 Stalked by Stigler's ME-109

| ~ LETTERS ~ I simply LOVE getting your letters! Thanks. FROM Q SMITH-BENEDIKT | Hi Ellen Your usual good job with the newsletter... though an infrequent attendent, I miss the nonvirtual Salons. I had not heard of the seizure, but after researching it I have the opposite response - and not just because Fox news doesn't like it :) This should be the model of how investigations should be done - Kudos to Mr. Holder, for how it was done, and also forthe restraint of not going public to defend himself. Specifically stated is that it was done under subpeona, i.e. the request first went through legal review and justification. Secondly, it appears that it was mapped out in that it covered several organizations, and a variety of times, but not a nonselective seizure of records from that period. In the final analysis, the question of appropriateness might hinge on how the seized documents impact the 1st amendment rights of individuals and agencies, and how it effects future decisions on whether to trust in communications with media - however, as I recall, any rights of this sort should be limited by the health and safety of populations as a whole, especially when behavior is illegal and at variance with the social contract residents of this country implicitly and explicitly make. Thanks again Q
FROM KARLA REDDEN I actually sent it (the Virtual Salon) on to a friend who suffers with the bladder problems mentioned in the article. I will let you know if there are any other issues. Have a great Memorial Day weekend. thanks -Karla | | ~ REVIEWS ~ INTERNET VS. DEMOCRACY? | (WOULD someone please read and review this for us? ellen) | Read More..... | | | | | | |
