Se.cula,r-progressives are appalled by the Iraq war and generally believe. the USA has no right to act unilaterally to hunt down terrorists or their enablers. So the stage was set for my recent appearance on the David Letterman show: I am a traditionalist; Mr. Letterman tends to mock traditionalists. And he often does it very well. Our.discussion began with the Christmas controversy. Dave did not see it as a big deal. When I pointed out the absurdity of a ' library ill Memphis, Tennessee okaying a manger scene but then telling the woman donating it that she had to remove . is that Ms. Sheehan is entitled to grieve and disse nt in, any way she wants, but her. grief is being exploited b:( ; far-left elements. ~~ And when Ms. Sheehan told Mark Kneller, a corre- , spondent for CBS radio, that · the terrorists in Iraq were ' "freedom fighters ," she · insulted thousands of otherAmericans who lost loved · ones in Iraq. Simply put, terrorists who blow up civilians, women • · and children are not freedom fighters in any .sense. They ; are murderers and I cal led · Mr. Letterman on Sheehan's, support.of them. ,. I hope you saw the pro- , gram. It was a rare display of the culture war on television. ·' ' I told Dave I respected hts views and he should respeo~ mine. l enjoyed the joust.

But, hey, the . shepherds could stay, staring into an empty stable. The subject quickly shifted to Iraq, a conflict both Letterman and I believe has been poorly managed. We also found common ground on the terrific. performance of the U.S . military. • But then Cindy Sheehan came up. Uh-oh.

On one side you have traditionalists, people who believe the country was well founded, does mostly good things, and has become the most powerful nation on earth by adhering to JudeaChristian principles like generosity, justice, and selfsacrifice. On the other side of the · culture war are the secularprogressives who believe that the USA is fundamentally a flawed country, which has caused considerable mi~ery both within and outside our borders. The S-P's want drastic change and a new direction for America. The two most intense issue s in the culture war right now are how to deal with ter:rorism, and what role spirituality should play · in the publie arena. · The S-P's want little or no public displays of God or religion.

A car loaded with soldiers returning from the trenches of World War I that was travel ing from Chillicothe wrecked just outside of town. ,It flipped end over end several times. A soldier, Sgt. Alfred Mayes, who ,had made it through the war unscathed, was ki lied in the crash. · That is one of the stories that captured Aaron . Barlow's -attention as he was doing research Jnto the 37th Division of the Ohio National Guard. Most of those who ·served in the '"Buckeye Di'~ision" during the war were natives of Gallia County, including Alfred Barlow, Aaron 's grandfather. He was one of those in the car that day when Sgt. . Mayes was killed. A collection of leiters and newspaper clippings handed down to him in 1987 first sparked his interest in the local military unit. ''My great-grandmother kept all of his let ttrs from the war and clipped newspaper art icles about him," Barlow said. "She had them in a box and I wound up with it. " Barlow found the · material in the box interesting, but it left him thirsty for mbre . ''His letters didn't sav too much about the division," Barlow sail · · So Barlow, who lived in Washington D.C. at the- time , · started doing some research. During the next eight years. he dug through old documents at the National Archives ,! ahd nosed through countless other books and documents. The result of his research was a book that was published in ' 2000, entitled :'For My Foot Being Off." A second. much exp,anded, ed ition of that oook was recent. ly published. Barlow. a professor of Engli sh at Kutztown University in Kutztown, Pa .. published the book on his own. The tome documents much of hi s family" s early 20th , .century history, from th e death of Marion Barlow, his gre~t-grandfather, to the deployment of the 37th Division. to its return. from the war, and ending wit h the death of Alfred Barlow in 1959. , · For much of hi s research , Barlow used Original dOCUI)lCntS, he said . "Some of them m the National Archives sti ll had dirt from the trenches In Europe on them," he said. -Pro teams are getting into TV biz GAME PLAN: The .Cieveland Indians have become the latest CLEVELAND - Some THE· of about 30 professional teams to take a crack at running their own say working in television is a regional television network. competitive sport, but that ,O.LL-STARS,: Teams that have found success with -their own netdoesn't · necessarily mean works include Boston Red Sox (New England Sports Network) and professional sports teams New York Yankees (YES Network.) will find success 111 broad - StRIKE OUTS: The Portland Trailblazers, .Charlotte Bobcats, casting.

At a critical stage at the battle of Shiloh, Buell asked Gr;mt what preparations that Grant had make to retreat. Buell said, "Sir, you do not have enough boats to evacuate 10,000 men."
