His m01her has remarried and moved 2,000 ·miles away. Danny will visit her for a month this summer. Danny is basically a good kid, gets good grades. and appears to be making some nice friends at school and in the neighborhood . The problem is, he's messy and I'm a perfectionist. I try to ignore the dirty clothes strewn across his bedroom floor, the food wrappers, the wet towels in the tub, etc. Although my husband is talking to Danny about the mess and there has been slight improvement, I was raised differently, Abby. I often find myself gettin~ · furiously angry. I am afrard I am going to say or do something I will regret, and I don't want to jeopardize my relationship with Danny. Can you suggest some ways to channel my anger? Do you have ·any ideas? -TINA IN TENNESSEE , DEAR TINA: You' ve already taken the most important step -- recognizing your anger and what's triggering it. You want to avoid yelling at Danny or breaking things. Some suggestions: Walk away from the cause of your anger. Dear Abby ADVICE Leave the room, leave the house if necessary, until you have regained control. Write a letter in which you express your feelings . You may never give that letter to Danny -- in fact, you probably shouldn't-but you will feellOO percent better once you have gotten it out of your system. Be sure to show your letter to your busband. He should know to what degree Danny's habits are affecting you. There are other healthy, acceptable ways to express anger. I have incorporated some of them in my booklet, ''The Anger in All of Us, and How to Deal With lt." It can be ordered by sending a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $5 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 610540477. (Postage is included in · the price.) DEAR ABBY: I am a man who believes in equality, but I seldom find it with the women I date. I work full time, cook, clean, wash clothes, iron, shop, etc. I don't believe there is such a thing as "woman 's work." The women l know agree with this philosophy, but have a problem acceptin~ that there is no such thing as 'man's work" either. I believe in equal pay for equal work -- with which my dates agree. But when the concept of sharing expenses is proposed, my idea of "fairness"is not well received. For example, if I buy a woman dinner on Friday night, I believe she should pay for my dinner on Saturday. If I drive one weekend, she should drive the next. I have been called cheap, biased, and· even obscene names. What's a modem man · to do? - PUZZLED IN A SMALL STATE DEAR PUZZLED: A modem man should take into consideration whether or not the women he's dating have approximately the same income he does. All things being equal, I subscribe to your philosophy. However, it shouldn't be set in concrete as you have stated it. If the lady doesn't take you to dinner, she might reciprocate in another ' way: cooking dinner for you, taking you to a movie, making a picmc for the beach or a ballgame. I do differ with you on one point, however: Driving alone at night can be dangerous for women. You should provide the transportation.

Some could produce fresh opportunities, but you'll need to stay on top of them to reap their benefits. Leaping from one to another won't have positive results. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)- Of course it's possible to find plenty of reasons for postponrng your responsibilities today, but none will be valid. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself, you'lllose. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - It's good to be an optimistic person, but today you could rely a bit too much on Lady Luck bailing you out should you get in trouble. Rely solely on yourself, because she won't be around. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)- You'll be letting down those who are depending on you today if you neglect obli· gations assigned to you. Avoid trouble by taking care of your duties first before you run off. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Separate being a visionary from being a daydreamer, or the latter will Sidetrack you from your tasks. Mental discipline may be required if you hope to get anything done today. CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Don't spend any money today that you don't have in your wallet or you could put a lot more on your credit cards than you realize. When the bills come due, the reality of it would depress you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Get opinions from those with whom you plan to spend your day before taking it upon yourself to plan the schedule of events. Chances are what interests you may not.interest them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -· Watch what comes out of your mouth today, or you could inadvertently hurt the feelings of SOmeone who likes 'IEI>.\.1? you and lose this relationship altogether. It would be a major loss for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23) -It's totally foolish to think that keeping up with the Joneses is necessary in order to impress those you're with. Not only is it useless, it can put you 10 a bad light. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Luck or cha,nce unaided will not accomplish the goals you are seeking today. You must be prepared to put fonh the necessary skills, talents and energy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21)- Be modest should you find it necessary to list your recent accomplishments. People wi II think better of you if you are low-key rather than if you embellish your triUmJlhs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) - Be particularly selective about whom you join up with today, esjleciallr if money is involved. There s a strong chance someone else's actions will draw you into an expensive episode. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Agreeing to an arrangement with others today simply because it might be the most convenient thing to do could turn out to be downright foolish. The only thing you'll gain is regret. ,------, Answer =~ - = 31 - = 78 =__!!_ ~~~RAGE GAME 205-- 215 JUDD'S TOTAL to previous Word Scrim· mag.;· WORD®©®0@@0@®· 0000000 . 11\@1fi\@.llA\fi\@ \Y \Y ~\.:.;J + 30 P01n1s 0000000 0 oo100WN 2nd DOWN 0 @@@(9@@(9 ~~~~g~~ 0 s~g~~~~ !'~oQ~ ~.!Oial 0 Meigs residents think of loved qne, .-!board during war, See page A4. · AVERAGE GAME t55-165 by JUDD HAMBRICK FOURPLAYTOTAL - TIME LIMIT: 20 MIN - - DIRECTIONS: Make a 2· 10 7-lener woi'CI from !he lenef! on each yardllne.

Iraq fired missiles at Kuwait, prompting U.S. troops to don chemical protective suits ancl setting emer· gency air raicl sirens blaring in Kuwait City. (AP) Bush vows decisive, patient use of force against Iraq WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush promised Americans he will use decisive force to win the war with Iraq but cautioned the conflict "could be longer and more difficult than some expect." Bush said the hostilities that began Wednesday night with a narrow focus on "selected tar· gets of military importance" will become a "broad and concerted campaign." After a brief night of sleep, the president talked to National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice at 6 a.m. EST Thursday to learn of overnight events, said a senior administration official. Bush began work in the Oval Office at 6:50a.m. . The White House made no immediate response to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who appeared on state-run television Thursday after the U.S. air strike to accuse the United States of a "shameful crime." U.S. official:; did not know whether the :;peaker was indeed Saddam nor whether the broadcast was taped after the U.S. strikes or in advance of them, the administration source said. Two other U.S. officials, also speakin~ on condition of . anonyffilty, said Thursday that the strikes were a small prelude to a massive assault that was to begin as early as Thursday. With 300,000 U.S. troops still encircling Iraq, the president said the mi s.~ ion to disann Saddam had just begun. . "I assure you, this will not be a cam pai ~n of half mea.~ures and we will accept no outcome but victory," the president said in brief, nationally televised remarks from the Oval Office. His address Wednesday evening made oftlcial in Washington what was already apparent. As Bushis press secretary gave a half-ho ur's notice for the president's appeardllce, anti-aircraft fire, explosions and air raid sirens were reported in Baghdad as Thursday's dawn broke over the city. "The dangers to our country and the world will be overcome," Bush said. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was due in the Oval Otlice early Thursday to give Bush a briefing on the campaign aimed at toppling lmqi dictator Saddan1 Hussein and securing any weapons of mass destruction he has. The White House was expect· ed to send a special spending bill to Congress soon. a<>king lawmakers to provide money to pay for the military action and lhe pust-Saddarn reconstruction of Iraq. The White House has said the request would be made to lawmakers shortly after the start of hostilities. Bush wa<; likely to remain at the White House under extraordinary security in the opening pha-;es of the war. Pedestrians without official bt1siness are being kept further away from the executive mansion than usual. The president's only publicly announced plan.' f(lr Thursday called for an early evening photo session with the president of Cameroon. The war's open1n g salvos were aimed directly at Iraq's leaders, including Bush Saddam, U.S. officials said, providing no details of how the intelligence was developed that made them believe they knew where he was. Commanders relied on more than 40 cruise missiles launched from ,Navy ships in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea and 2,000pound precision-guided bombs dropped by Air Force stealth fighter jets, military officials said. Still to come was the main air offensive against Iraq, said the oftlcials, speaking on condition of anonymity. There was no indication whether the initial attack was successful, but about two hours after the strikes, Saddam appeared on television to offer fresh condemnation of the American president. There was no way to determine immediate!y whether the reliiafks were taped before the U.S. attacks. "We promise you that Iraq, its leadership and its people will stand up to the evil invaders, and we will take them to such limit~ that they will lose their patience in achieving their plans," Saddam said. In his four-minute speech to the nation, Bush said his goal is "to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger." He pledged that U,S.-Ied troops would spare innocents from hann wherever possible and "will be coming home as soon as their work is done." .He also warned of trickery and atrocities to come from Saddam. "Saddam Hussein has placed Iraqi troops and equipment in civilian areas, anempt· ing to use innocent men. women and children as shields for his own military," )Je said. And Bush asked for American patience if the days turn into weeks or longer. "A campaign on the harsh ter· rain of a nation large as Cdlifomia could be longer and more difficult than some predict," Bush said. "And helping Iraqis achieve a united, stable and free country will require our sustained commitment." He had given the go-ahead to attack just after 6:30 p.m. near the end of a hastily arranged three-and-a-half-hour meeting with his war council, the third meeting of the day with the group. A senior White House officia!, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that military advisers originally did not intend to begin the assault Wednesday. Bush wa<; told in the final meeting that fresh intelligence had prompted military planners to change lheir recommendation. U.S. forces launched their long-awaited war against Saddam Hussein, targeting him personally with a barrage of cruise missiles and bombs as a prelude to invasion. Iraq responded hours later, firing missiles Thursday toward American troops positioned just across its border with Kuwait. None of the Iraqi missiles caused injuries or damage, and one was intercepted by a Patriot missile, according to U.S. oftlcers. American and British soldiers in the region briefly donned gas masks or protective suits, but officers later said the missiles apparently were not anned with chemical or biological weapons. Air ntid sirens wailed repeat· edly in Kuwait City as officials warned that some Iraqi missiles might be aimed there. The opening salvo against Saddam was not the expected all-out aerial bombardment, but instead a surgical strike seeking to eliminate the Iraqi leader and his inner circle even before an invasion. Saddam assailed .the attack as a "shameful crime," while President Bush said the world's security was at stake. Iraqi lnfonnation Minister Mohammed Saeed ai-Sahaf said the U.S. strikes killed one person, injured several and, hit a customs office and sonie empty Iraqi TV buildings, among other targets. There was no way to verify his report. Coinciding with the strikes on Baghdad, about I ,000 U.S. troops launched a raid on villages in southeastern Afghanistan, hunting for members of the al-Qaida terrorist network. The U.S. operation appeared to signal to Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants that war with Iraq would not mean any kind of respite for them. The State Department warned U.S. citizens abroad that they face increased danger of retaliatory terrorist actions and anti-American violence. The fust missiles hit tar· gets in Baghdad shortly before dawn Thursday, less than two hours after Bush's deadline of 8 p.m. EST Wednesday for Saddam to yield power. Bush briefly addressed the nation to announce that war had begun. He said the barrage marked the start of a "broad and concerted" operation to "disann Iraq, to free its people an.;t to defend the world from grave danger." "I assure you, this will not be a .campaign of half measures, and we will accept no outcome but victory,' the president said. U.S . . and British troops massed in northern Kuwait were still awaiting orders to cross into Iraq, but wei- corned news of the first strikes. "It's about time ," said Lance Cpl. Chad Borgmann, 23, of Sidney, Neb., a member of the 15th Marine Expeditionary .Unit. "We've been here a month and a week. We ' re ready to go." Even before any shooting, 17 Iraqi soldiers surrendered to American soldiers. U.S. oftlcers said they expected mass surrenders by Iraqi troops in the early stages of the war. The initial salvos against Baghdad consisted of 40 Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from Navy ships in the Persian Gulf and the. Red Sea, as well as precision-guided 2,000-pound bombs dropped from two F-117A Nighthawk stealth jets. U.S. officials said the attacks were not a sign that the main air offensive against Iraq had begun, but were approved by Bush in response to intelligence on the whereabouts of Saddam and other Iraqi leaders. About two hours after the cruise missiles hit, a subduedlooking Saddam appeared on Iraqi television in a military uniform and vowed an Iraqi victory: There was no way to determine immediately • • THE WAR WI TH IRAQ BEG IN S WITH A precision strike I The TOINittliwk hal gone through numertll.lt lmproYttme!lb In llllng& and rt a swift pre-dawn attado;, more th&n co U.S. Tomahll1'1o4o. crui88 minih!s and lour 5Btellile· ~boom m.cle I SO!giclilltrike Baghdlld bonk•r that lntellgence aourcea &aid contained ~.,a nking Iraqi ml~tary leade11hip.

Afghanistan , Thursclay. About 1.000 U.S. troops launched a raid on villages in southeastern Afghanistan Thursday, hunting for members of the ai-Qaida terrorist network in the biggest U.S. operation in just over a year, military officials said . (AP) U.S. troops in new.hunt for · ai-Qaida cell. BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AP) - U.S. &ttack helicopters and about 1,000 U.S . troops stormed villages in southern Afghanistan on Thursday in raids aimed at tracking down remnants alQaida and the Tali ban. Operation "Valiant Strike" began in the early morning in Kandahar province, with soldiers combing rough mountain terrain where radio tran smissions · had been detected coming from caves. The raids came minutes atier U.S. forces opened a broad military action in Iraq, but military spokesman Col. Roger King said the timing was coincidence. "Operations in Afghanistan are conducted completely independent of any operations in other sec· tors," Kin~ told reporters at Bagram A1r Base. "We have done a series of major operations; this is one more in a continuing'series." The attack Thursday was focused in the Maruf district of Kandahar province where the Tali ban 's supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar has tribal links, according tO Khalid Pashtun , a spokesman for the Kandahar provincial government. The U.S. forces and their Afghan allies were looking at least three different villages in the mountainous region. King said the raids would focus on areas east of Kandahar. The J?rovince is the former spintual headquarters of the Taliban. which is allied . with the alQaida network suspected of carrying out the Sept. II attacks. The military launched the operation after receiving "a mosaic of different intelligence inputs" of activity in the area, King said. Radio signals had been detected coming from areas above the villages, military officials iri Washington said. King declined to say what the goal of the operation was or whether it targeted al Qaida lea(ier Osama bin Laden. The operation was likely to continue for two or three days, said Lt. Coryll Angel, a U.S. military spokesman in Kandahar. The assault was one of the biggest in Afghanistan since Operation Anaconda just over a year ago, King said. That eight-day battle pitted hundreds of Tal iban and alQaida fighters against thousands of American and allied Afghan troops. Since then, the multinational, U.S.-Ied coalition has carried out at 'least a dozen major offensives . An operation of simil ar size took place in neighboring Helmand province about a month ago. Several suspect· ed militants were killed and about 30 were captured. The latest assault involved Bl ackhawk, Apache and Chinook heli copters along with armored Humvee vehicles. The operation was led by an 800-soldier battalion known as the "White Devils," part of the 82nd Airborne divi sion , thou gh additional grou nd support •' teams and special forces soldiers were also taking part, King and other Army official s said. There have been a series of raids on both sides of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border in the weeks since authori· tie s captured al-Qaida's No. 3 figure , Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, in Paki stan on March I. Authorities have said Mohammed is giving information to U.S. interrogators and have said some of the subsequent arrests came as a result of hi s cap· ture. Mohammed , an alleged mastermind of the Sept. II terrori st attacks in the United States, is being interrogated by American officials at an undisclosed location. The agents who captured him in a suburb of Islamabad found computers, mobile telephones, documents and other evidence that could help lead to other al-Qaida members. There have been increased attacks on Afghan government posts in southern Afgham stan in recent weeks. The authorities have blamed remnants of Tali ban, al-Qaida and loyali sts of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, a renegade rebel commander labeled a terrori st by the United States. On Wednesday, Taliban soldiers ambushed an Afgh;!n government post in southern Afghani stan, killing three Afghan sol· diers, a security official said. The attackers slit the throats of the soldiers at the Sherabik post, near the Pakistani border, said Abdul Razzak Panj shiri , security chief in the Spinboldak area . Five Taliban attackers were arrested, he said. Anti-American groups had warned they would intensify attacks on the multinational coalitiol) in Afghanistan if war broke out in Iraq , King said. "There is a heightened awareness on the part of all the soldiers of potential for enemy activities based upon the initiation of hostilities in the Iraq theater," King said.

(AP) - U.S. troops got their first rea1 scare Thursday when Iraqi missiles streaked across the border into Kuwait, forcing the Americans to quickly climb into protective suits and put on gas masks. '1' U.S. troops used Patriot missiles to shoot down at least one lntq missile that was aimed at them. In the Kuwaiti desert, a suspected tactical missile flew overhead from Iraqi territory and landed harmlessly in the desert. It was not clear whether the Iraqi missiles were Scud~ or AI Samoud 2 and there were no report of injories in the attacks. The Iraqi military response came several hours after the United States launched more than 40 Tomahawk missiles in strikes it said were aimed at Saddam Hussein and his top leadership. U.S. Army troops at Camp New Jersey in the Kuwaiti desert put on their chemical and biological protective gear in response to an alert caused by one of the missiles, but were given the allclear a lew minutes later.

A.Ll AGE S A.ll TIMlS $.-l 00 �PageA4 Local News The Daily Sentinel Staff writer <.'. GALLIPOLIS With Operation Iraqi Freedom now underway and the National Terrorism Alert Status at its second-highest level, local law enforcement agencies, regional power plants and area government facilities have all increased their security as a precautionary measure against possible danger. · As allied warplanes strike military targets 10 Baghadad and 300,000 U.S. and British troops poised to cross Iraq's southern border to engage the regime of Saddam Hussein, concerns of retaliatory terrorism on the domestic front has prompted local law enforcement authorities and officials with area power plants and government factlities to heighten security efforts. "With the security level now heightened, deputies with the sheriff's office will be more observant and vigilant to any problems that may occur in our area," said Lieutenant Joe Browning of the Gallia ·County Sheriff's Office. "We'll do what we can with the resources our office possesses and will be watching the county for any strange incidents or events." Patrolman Michael Fulks of Police the Gallipolis Department said officers have been on alert for some time now and are · continuing to look for any suspicious activity within the city. "We've been keeping abreast of our national homeland security level for several weeks and have been watch· ing · for anything unusual or · · suspicious. Officers will be on . constant patrol making sure our residents are safe from . · any danger," said Fulks. Post Commander of the Galli a Meigs Post of The Ohio State Highway Patrol, Lt. · Richard Graul, reported troop· ers will be maintaining "high visibility" on local highways and will also be watching for any suspicious activity. "Troopers will be out on the . roads making their presence known and watching for any strange or unusual activity. Basically, we'll be doing what we do everyday, however, our awareness will be heightened somewhat due to international · events," said Graul. power plants are also stepping up efforts to minimize possible terrorist threats. Pat Hemlepp, director of corporate communications for American Electric Power, said security at the General James E. Gavin Power Plant in Cheshire has increaied, however, specific security mea· sures will not be released to the public. "Following Monday's terrorism alert level incre!lse, security at the power plant was immediately heightened. We are not releasing specific measures being employed because that would compromise the safety of both the plant and its employees," said Hemlepp. Officials at the Kyger Creek Power Plant, located down river from the Gavin plant, said their normal security measures will, in fact, be raised and all plant employees will be asked to keep an eye open for strange activity. "Besides our normal safety efforts, we will be posting more guards at all of our entrances into the plant, as well as our barge docking facilities," said Dave Walker, assistant plant manager. "We are also asking our employees to be aware of any suspicious activity, speCifically photography or filming around the power plant, and to report these occurrences to local law enforcement." Locks under lock · down According to officials with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, secunty at all navigational locks and dams, flood control reservoirs and recreational facilities throughout the Ohio River Valley have been upgraded. New security changes will involve the J?Ublic in several ways: New visible access limitations; more access restric· tions as national/local threats are elevated; previous public safety limitations upgraded to enforceable security restrictions and requests for heightened public awareness and vigilance. Larry Circle, lock master for the Racine Locks and Dam in Meigs County, said security at the facility has definitely been "beefed-up" and several safety precautions have already been implemented. "We have a series of in· Power plants on alert house cameras installed at Gallia County's two major specific areas around the locks and dam and they will be monitored at all times," said Circle. "We are also locking the entire compound down to visitors and have established restricted areas on the Ohio River above and below the dam, which will be off limits to pleasure craft." Officials at Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam in Gallia County have also taken simiJar precautions. "Security cameras are in place, we're locking our gates in the evenings and have began to screen visitors who · enter the grounds," said Lock Master Ron Huffman. "Overall, we're employing the same se!:urity measures that all locks and dams on our nation 's waterways have implemented." River patrols stepped up Monte Edwards, staff officer of public affairs with the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office in Huntington, W.Va., said the Coast Guard is currently taking "appropriate security methods" to make sure waterways in the general area are safe and navigable. "We have increased boat patrols on both the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers and are scheduling more boat and air· plane surveillance near strate· gic locations on the river. We are also keeping a strict watch on all maritime activity," said Edwards.

The Dems risk difeat by return to dovish past We ' re back to the 1970s and '80s - Republicans are America's "hawk" party and Democrat s are the "dove" party. Histori cally, thi s isn't good for the Democrats. The only time Democrats won the presidency on . a dovish platform was in I 976. Even then, Jimmy Carter's victory was more a reaction to the Watergate scandal than to the Vietnam War. And four years later, Carter's management of foreign policy - capped by the Iran hostage crisis ·and hi s expressed '"surpri se" at the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan - resulted in his devastating defeat in 1980. During Ronald Reagan' s presidency, Democrats became enmes hed in the nuclear freeze movement and opposed Reagan 's Central American policies . Their candidates were crushed in 1984 and 1988. In I 992, Bill Clinton escaped the curse of George McGovern , Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukaki s by claiming that he, of unlike a majority Democrats in Congress, supported th e 1991 Persian Gulf War. Now, on the eve of another Gulf War, Democrats in Congress are back in the party's old mold and Democratic presidential candictates are under pressure from the party base · to be anti-war, too. Last October, a majority of Democratic Senators voted in favor of the resolution authorizing President Bush to go to war. Now their leader, Sen . Thomas Daschle (S.D.), gives every sign of opposing the conflict. He accused the administra, tion earlier this month of "rushing to war without adequate concern for the ramifi- Morton Kondracke cations of doing so unilaterally or with a very small coalition." Despite the fact that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has not fully di sarmed as required by the Un ited Nations, Daschle said on March 4, " ! clearly believe there has been a different response from the Iraqis over the last week . "They' re dismantling missiles. And if we can continue to put pressure on them to ... destroy their weapons of mass destruction ... we ought to give them more time to do so." Last month . he asked, "How are our efforts to deal with thi s threat helped by short-circuiting an inspections proces s that we demanded in the first place?'' . In the House, a majority of Democrats voted against the October resolution and their new leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Cal if.), has expressed her opposition consistently. "I do not believe that going lo war now is the best way to rid Iraq of its weapons of mass de struction," she told the Council on Foreign Relations on March 7. "Before going to war, we must exhaust all alternatives, such as the continuation of inspections, diplomacy and the leverage provided by the threat of military action." Among Democratic presidential candidates. Sens. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) and John Edwards (N.C. ) and Rep. Richard Gephardt (Mo. ) have not backed away from their support for the war, but fron trunning Sen. John Kerry (Mass.) certainly has. He said on NBC's "Meet the Press" in December, " ! will not support the president to proceed unilaterally." And in a speech at Georgetown Un iversity in February he said , "The United States should ne ver go to war because it wants to ; the United States should go to war because we have to. "'And we don't have to until we have exhausted the remedies available. built legitimacy a·nd earned the consent of the American people," he said . With exception s, the leading voices Of the Democratic Party basically are vesting to decide the power American foreign policy in the United Nations Security Council - ultimately, in this case, in the hands of French President Jacques Chirac, who is bent on using France's veto to thwart Bush's war · plans. The Democrats' insistence on prolonged inspections and U.N. support led Bill Kri stol of the Weekly Standard to brand them " Le Partie Democratique," a stingin g characterization . Clearly, what France wanis is to extend U.N. inspections past the time when it's too hot for American forces to figh t in Iraq, causing th em to be brought home. That would be a humiliation for Bush, would ca use the collapse of the "coalition of the willing" he has put together and would constitute a strategi c victory for Hussein . What 's leading Democrats to do thi s? The Wee kly Standard 's Stephen Hayes ·makes a devastating case that it's raw Jjtlrtisanship. He has or against us." It's mortifying! No wonder peopl e hardly call anymore . People used to be so ni ce! You should hear the things they say about Joan Ryan resurrected quotes demonstrating that Daschle and others were ail in favor of using force when Clinton was ·president, but not now. In 1998, for example, when Hu ssein ousted U.N. inspectors, Daschle said, "Look , we have exhausted virtually ail our diplomati c effort to get the Iraqis to comply with ... international law. Given that, what other option is there but to force them to do so?'' Of course, Democrats knew that Clinton's idea of "force" was to bomb Iraqi radar installations, not invade. Bush's policy is real war. In opposing his policy, Democrats are reflecting the attitudes of their constituents. According to the Washington Post/ABC News poll , only 37 percent of Democrats favor military action without U.N. approva l, compared with 86 percent for Republicans. So, in a se nse, Democrats are doing their duty expressing a strong forceaverse and multilateralist view in American opinion and opposing Bush 's prowar, unilateralist stance. One side or the other will be vindicated shortly. If Gulf War ll ends in a decisive victory and if the United States can begin governing Iraq without casualties afterward, Democrats will be back in their pre-1992 mode, forced to depend only on a bad economy for thei r political success. If Bu sh's war is a disaster - or if governing Iraq turns into a debacle - Democrats may prosper as a result. But that's not an outcome to hope for.

Other events BY Lou HORVATH .:.C.:.on.:.:tr:.::ib:.:u:.::to:.:.r_ _ _ _ _ __ Question:I' ve worked for 40 years for the same business - a large automotrve company. Will mycompany pension reduce or offset my Social Security benefits? Answer:No. The fact that you get a pension, or the amount of thaJ pension, will not affect your Social Security benefit. But there is a chance that the reverse may be true . Your Social Security benefit may affect the amount of your company pension. Of course, there are thousands of private pension plans in this country, and each has its own rules. 'S6 ask your personnel or business office if your Social Security check will affect your companypension check. Question:! will be 62 in April and am thinking of retiring on my birthday. I think I' II only make..about $10,000 this year. But there's a chance I could get abetter paying job and make a lot more money later this summer. Then I may need to stop my Social Security checks for a while. But I'm afraid that by applying for" Social Secunty now, I'm locking myself into a reduced benefit that I' II later regret. Am I? Answer: No. When you first apply for Social Security, your benefits are reduced by about onehalf of I percent for each month you get benefits before your "full retirement age." But if you return to work, forcing us to stop your checks, you won't be penalized. When you finally do retire, we will refigure your benefits and eliminate that reduction for any month you did not get a Social Security check because you were working. So, you would not be lockina in a fixed Social Security rate by starting benefits in April Quest10n:l've always been told I will get half of my husband's Social Security. But he gets about $ I .000 per month, and I'm only getting about $375 per month. According to my calculator. that's not half Am I being cheated? Answer:Probably not . You didn't say how old you were when you started getting your spousal benefits. A wife gets up to one-half of her husband's Social Security if she's "fullretirement age" when she starts getting those benefits. That used to · be 65, but is going up to age 67 in gradual steps starting this year. For example, the full retirement age in 2003 is aae 65 and 2 months. But a wife can start her benefits as early as age 62, when she would aet about 3 )7 percent. You can check your records, but that's probably what you did . Question:! understand a divorced wife must be married to her husband for lO years to qualify for some of his Social Security. I married my husband in 1980. and we divorced in November 1987. Then in October 1988, we married again. But after four more years, we divorced a second time in 1992 and haven' t been married since . That's a to-41 of 12 years, but it's in two different time periods. In other words, it wasn't lO consecutilte years. Does that count? Answer:In vour case, it will. We usually mean I 0 consecutive years, but the law really that your marriage must have been in effect at · some point during each of lO consecutive years . You were married in all or part of every year from 1980 through 1992, so you should be . able to get divorced wife's benefits. Question:How old do I have to be to get widow's benefits? Answer:lf you h ave c hildren under age I 6 at home, you can get widow's benefits no matter how old (or young) you are. If there a re no minor children but you are di sabled, you can get widow' s benefits as early as age 50. If there are no children and you are not disabled, age 60 is the first time you can sign up for widoA ' s benefits. Question:I know someone who has a bad back, and she gets Social Security disability. My father ha~ a bad back and is deaf, but he gets less money. Shouldn 't he get more since he has two disabilities ? Answer:The amount of a Social Security payment is based on an individual 's past · earnings, not on the number. of disabilities. Essentially, the . more you make and the more. Social Security taxes you pay, the higher your benefits will be. So, your father is getting a smaller Social Security payment than the woman with the bad back because he mu sr have made less money than she did.

Small package explosion evacuates FedEx facility in Columbus COLUMBUS (AP) - A package labeled as containing the West Nile virus exploded at a Federal Express facility, forcing the evacuation of about 50 workers. Fire officials said dry ice may have caused the shoebox-sized package to burst open Tuesday night at the FedEx office near Port Columbus International Airport. The p..ackage contained brain and kidney matter of a bird that had tested positive for the virus, said Jay Carey, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Health. The department was sending the material to a researcher at the University of Texas. The package contained a live West Nile virus, Carey said, but the samples were frozen and unlikely to become airborne. ''The risk to employees or. frrst responders is still very low," he said. "Only people with open wounds who would come in direct contact with the sample material would be at any risk of infection ." Police cordoned off the area as hazardous materials crews and the fire department bomb squad arrived shortly after 10 p .m. Workers were allowed back into the building at about 2 a.m. "I think everyone's anxiety · level is kind of high .

Thi s wasn't some off-the-cuff remark by Fitzgera ld . He had details about his co nve rsation with the president, presumably while aboard Air Force One in January.

Acting USOC president Bill Martin told the House Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection Subcommittee that clarifying the Olympic committee's mission is the most important action Congress could take to help the committee.

Yankees take tomahawk to Tribe TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Jose Contreras gave up one run and struck out eight over 5 2-3 innings as the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 4-1 Wednesday night. Contreras struck out five of his first seven batters, including three straight after allowing a second inning leadoff single to Ellis Burks. He threw 53 of 83 pitches for strikes. The right-hander allowed four hits, with two coming in his final inning. His only walk also came in the sixth. Contreras struggled in his first three appearances before allowing two hits over five shutout innings against Tampa Bay last Friday. That strong outing came one day after his father, who had a stroke, was released from a Cuban hospital. "During my first couple starts, I wanted to impress everyone, and I was overanxious," Contreras said through an interpreter. "The ball was up, and now you can see I'm getting the ball down." The former ace of the Cuban national team, who signed a $32 million, four-year free-agent contract during the offseason, also has worked extensively on his mechanics with pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre. Bernie Williams hit a three-run double with two outs in the third to put the Yankees up 3-0. Jason Giambi had an RBI double in the fifth. Milton Bradley had a run-scoring grounder for Cleveland in the sixth.

Ismai'il Muhammad ended an 18-4 COLUMBUS - By the numbers, the 81 st annual boys state basketball touma~ ment breaks down like this: 16 teams,-12 games, four championships, one LeBron James. There is no doubt who is getting the most attention this week in Columbus. When it comes to high school hoops in Ohio these days, James is in a class by himself. "It's definitely LeBron James' tournament," said Joe Petrocelli, the longtime coach at Kettering Alter. James, who is expected to be the No. I pick in this year's NBA draft, is trying to win his third state championship in four years at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary. The Fighting Irish lost to St. Bernard Roger Bacon in the Division U title game last year, IeavJames ing James with some unfinished business before his high school career comes to an end. A state title would cap a turbulent season that has seen James stripped of his eligibility for accepting two free "throw:-. · back" sports jerseys before going to court to get reinstated. After playing through the controversy during the regular season, there's no way James wants to go out a loser in the tournament. "It's going to take more than a Roger Bacon effort to beat them," Petrocelli said. Roger Bacon played a superb game against SVSM, never forcing shots on offense, always staying aggressive on defense and scoring off virtually every mistake the Irish made for a 7 t -63 win. James was a bit careless, ~etting called for two charges that forced him to play the fourth quarter with four fouls. Petrocelli said James "didn't think it would be much of a game" and perhaP.s was too relaxed. He expects to see a different player-. and different team -this time. The Irish, ranked No. l in the nation by USA Today, have three starters other than James scoring in·double figures. "If you say 'We'll stop everybody else and Jet LeBron go,' tliat 1sn 't a viable plan because the rest of the team is good, too," Petrocelli said. ,• James and SVSM (23-1 , only loss l!)i forfeit) play Friday's first semifinal against Canton South (22-3) at Value City Arena. . The second Division II game features Alter ( 17 -8) against Columbus Beechcroft Ple•se see Tourney, 11 NBA games stopped during Bush's speech Associated Press NBA basketball games came to a • halt or had their starting times delayed Wednesday night during President Bush's speech announcing that the United States had launched a war against Iraq. At the Rose Garden in Portland, a hush came over a crowd that had been buzzing in anticipation of the Trail Blazers' game against Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets. There were a few outbursts during the speech by fans, although their shouts were unintelligible. Following the speech, most fans applauded, and they did so again after a message I • from the NBA was read assunng everyone the games would go on. At Staples Center in Los Angeles, where the Clippers were playing the Denver Nuggets, many people were still makin~ their way to their seats when Bush s speech began . Many sat expressionless with their anns folded, the people in the courtside seats straining their necks to watch the video board above midcourt. When Bush finished, there was loud applause and some whistling but no booing. Public address announcer Erie Smith told the crowd about the NBA's intention not to pre-empt the season, adding, "We hope the games 1 will provide a momentary diversion in these difficult times." ,· , ~- The Knicks-Homets and CavaliersGrizzlies ganies were interrupted by the speech. Players went to the1r locker rooms during Bush's speech, then returned to the court for wannups. In Memphis, spectators cheered when Bush said the attacks had bet~un. Otherwise, the crowd was qUJet, listening attentively. When the president was finished, many in the crowd gave a standing ovation. The game resumed after a 15-minute break. The beginning of the war cast a somber shadow over many sporting events going on around the country. "This is insignificant," said Virginia coach Pete Gillen, whose team beat Brown 89-73 in the first round of college basketball's National Invitation Tournament. "I've been sick to my stomach the last day or two thinkmg about it I have a son, 19, that could be in the service. It just breaks your heart. You hate to see any young man or woman die. A game means nothing compared to what.is going on in the real world." In Tampa, Fla., the attack on Baghdad began just as the Cleveland Indians-New York Yankees game was about to end. "We have concerns for sure, but no control. We have to do what we do," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "We certainly have to l'lay like there 's not going to be anykind of delay. It's on everybody 's mind. This is real life stuff. This is just a game." �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel I·' Scoreboard Spokane, Wash.

State boys ~ tourney to go on as planned BY ANDY RESNIK Associated Press COLUMBUS - The boys state basketball tournament will be played as planned this week unless the government orders such events to be canceled because of war in Iraq, the Ohio High School Athletic Association said Wednesday. "We had talked about it, but we felt very strongly that it was important to play," OHSAA commissioner Clair Muscaro said. "We were recognizing the fact that if the president and Homeland Security, or if a government official decided that it was imperative that we not play, then certainly we would adjust accordingly." The NCAA made a similar decision Tuesday, announcing that the men's and women's basketball tournaments would be played as scheduled this week. Muscaro also told school administrators to have their football teams take the field the weekend after the Sept. 11, 200 I, terrorist attacks.

WINSTON CUP Bristol Motor Speedway ttace No. 6of36 MtKE HARRIS Associated Press BY Some kids fantasize about hitting a game-winning home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth or sinking a three-pointer for the win at the buzzer. Ricky Craven's big moment came Sunday at Darlington Raceway. winning by inches after covering the last 200 yards of the Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 in a metal-crunching, side-by-side duel with Kurt Busch. The margin of victory was two thousandths of a second - the smallest since NASCAR introduced electronic timing in 1993. "You sit on your couch in front of the TV when you're a kid and you think what it would be like to win a race like that ," Craven said. "It was a perfect finish." • The dramatic victory on one of NASCAR 's most difficult racetracks was also the culmination of a four- · year comeback by Craven. In the aftermath of the emotional win, the 32-year-old driver from Maine couldn't help thinking back to the 1998 season, the low point of his NASCAR career when he sat out 12 races with post-concussion syndrome. The illness was the result of hard crashes in Talladega in 1996 and in Texas the following year. Early in 1998, Craven found himself suffering from vertigo and was advised by doctors to get out of the race car- maybe for good. At that point, Craven could not have imagined coming back to win in Martinsville in October 200 I. then topping that with the win in Darlington. Craven, the 1995 Rookie of the Year and a driver thought to have great potential, even considered retirement. Once he decided to continue . racing stock cars; there were still doubts. He wondered if anybody would be willing to take a chance on him. "The perception in the racing community was that I was damaged goods," Craven said. "No matter what you .do, there are people who won't believe you ' re healthy. I'm sure there are people who still don't believe I'm l 00 percent." Car owner Cal Wells Ill is a believer, though. He hired Craven at the start of the 200 I season for his then-yearold PPI Motorsports team. "He was the first person in a long time to judge me fairly," Craven said. "Cal didn 't listen to what other people were saying. In fact, he never even asked me about my health." Wells, who came to Winston Cup from CART in 2001, said he had no doubts about Craven ' s ability and gives much of the credit for the team's growth to his driver. "Rick is the one that hauls us along with him," Wells said. "He had the credibility as a great race car driver in NASCAR's highest formula. We just needed to back it up and we came close so many times. "Last year, we were I Oth on the laps led list, but we just couldn't close the deal. There have been a lot of places we ' ve been strong where we could have won. It's wonderful to win in Darlington. That does certainly add some credibility." Craven is one of five 2003 race winners and goes into Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, tied for fifth in the season standings with Busch. Both of them trail leader Matt Kenseth by 143 points. It's been a long road back. but Craven doesn't feel sorry for himself.

Mereh22,2002 Ricky Craven celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 race Sunday at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, S.C. Ricky Craven realized a dream Sunday at Darlington Raceway, winning by inches after covering the last 200 yards of the Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 in a metal-crunching, side-by-side duel with Kurt Busch. (AP) he said. "I think it made me tougher and it made me better prepared. ... Look where I am today. The last two or three years have been great." Whatever h.e does in the future, though, Craven will remember the finish at Darlington. "I' m really excited to see the race," he said immediately after his win. "I'm going to see it as soon as I can because the last three or four laps are kind of a blur. " . No matter how it ended or the mar- Valley gin of victory, though, Craven is just happy to be right where he is. "We won and that "s just a cool, cool feeling ," he said. 'Tve got a great life. I' m lucky to have everything I have. "I' II be 65 years old. I' II be sitting on the porch with my wife up on Moosehead Lake in Maine and I' ll tell this story I 00,000 times about how we won .

At the same time their charter flight to Japan had been scheduled to take off, the Mariners played in an unusual 11 a.m. stan, beating the Te)(as Rangers 9-1. "It is kind of disappointing not to go to Japan because there were so many people there who wanted to see us," Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suwki said. "But we have nothing to do with that." Suzuki and Seattle closer Kazuhiro Sasaki had been looking forward to playing in their homeland. But baseball commissioner Bud Selig decided Thesday to cancel the two-game series against Oakland next week, citing concern over travel with the possibility of war in Iraq. Instead of opening on March 25, the ·Mariners will stan April 1 in Oakland. "We have to go by the schedule," said Suzuki, who went 2-for-3 with a run and was caught stealing. Gil Meche pitched six shutout innings, a day after getting the final job in Seattle's rotation. At Phoenix, Miguel Tejada had three hits and drove in two runs as the Athletics beat a Milwaukee Brewers split squad 7-4. · Mark Mulder allowed four runs and seven hits in seven innings as the A's beat the Brewers for the fourth straight time. At St. Petersburg, Fla., new Tampa Bay manager Lou Piniella wasn't happy with his team 's hitters. The Devil · Rays began Wednesday with a .232 spring batting average, the lowest among the 30 teams. Tampa Bay had 13 hits, three each by Greg Vaughn and Ben Grieve, in a 4-4 tie with the Toronto Blue Jays, but the Devii .Rays stranded six runners in scoring position. "Our offensive numbers this spring are dismal," said Piniella, the team's first-year manager. "Some guys have done well - I am not talking about everybody on the team. " It isn't ·that hard to hit. It's hard to hit .330 or .340, but it's not hard to hit .240, 250 or .260. We need some offense help, and I hope we will be able to do something. This has persisted here for a couple of years. It isn't a three-week phenomenon." At Port St. Lucie, Fla., New York Mets batters and pitchers played the same way they did in high-altitude Mexico City last weekend. The Mets Indians from PageB1 "Obviously, I'd like . to start," Contreras said. "I've been starting my whole life. My objective is to get ready and prepare myself so when the team needs me I'm ready. They'll make the decision where I'm needed." Hitchcock probably will be in the bullpen unless he's traded during the final days of s~ring training. "I ve got a lot of information," Torre said. "It's not going to be a slam dunk. They' re all qualified. It's just a matter of having to make a decision." Notes: Nick Johnson should be the Yankees' P,rimary DH this season. 'It's Nick' s right now," Torre said. "He's the one with the inside track." ... Torre will also probably announce his opemng-day starter this weekend. Si11-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemen's is on line to pitch at Toronto on March 31 ... Yankees 3B Robin Ventura, who i$ away from the team because of a personal matter, is expected to come back on . Frid<!Y· The Indians changed pitching coaches just 12 days before the club 's season opener, firing Mike Brown and replacing him with Carl Willis. had 18 hits and gave up 18, beating St. Louis 14-12 as the Cardinals' Rick Ankiel had a wild outing. Mike Matheny, Tino Maninez and Miguel Cairo homered for the Cardinals on Wednesday, while Ty Wigginton, Roberto Alomar and Vance Wilson connected for the Mets. Wilson hit a goahead three-run homer in the eighth. Ankiel, still trying to come back from record wildness during the 2000 playoffs, threw I5 pitches in the seventh. He threw one to the backstop, gave up Alomar's homer, then nearly hit Cliff Floyd a,nd Mike Piazza before walking both of them. Ankiel, who walked Floyd on four pitches, didn't get any outs and was charged with three runs. "I just didn't have my curveball," he said. "That's pretty much a reliable pitch, especially when I get to two strikes. When I got there, I just couldn't finish them off." In a trade, the New York Yankees sent outfielder Rondell White to the San Diego Padres for outfielder Bubba Trammell and minor league left-hander Mark Phillips. New York had little room for White following the signing of Japanese star Hideki Matsui, and San Diego needed to fill the power void created by the shoulder injury to Phil Nevin, who probably is out for the season. "I'm going to miss the guys," White said. "I had a chance to play with a group of Hall of Famers. I didn't want to leave New York. I wanted to come back and prove what I can do." · In other games: Expos l, Dodgers 0 At . Viera, Fla., Kevin Brown pitched six shutout innings and struck out eight. Brown, who turned 38 on Friday, allowed three hits and walked none . Pirates 11, Astros 4 At Kissimmee, Fla., Josh Fogg pitched five shutout innings before allowing a pair of runs. Fogg hit Jeff Bagwell in the left hand with a pitch in the third inning, but Bagwell said wasn't injured. Phillies 3, Twins 0 At Fort Myers, Fla., Marlon Byrd tripled twice and Pat Burrell hit a two-run double with two outs in the seventh. White Sox 12, Rockies 1 At Tucson, Ariz., Jose Valentin and Carlos Lee each went 3-for-3. Colorado starter Scott Elarton was . pounded for nine runs and 12 hits in 3 2-3 innings, giving up homers to Valentin, Brian Daubach and Aaron Rowand. Giants IO, Angels (ss) 4 At Tempe, Ariz., Ryan Jensen, competing for a spot in San Francisco's starting rotation, allowed three runs - one earned - and six hits in five innings. The Giants got to staner Kevin Appier for five runs and five hits in the fourth. Cubs (ss) 2, Angels (ss) l At Mesa, Ariz .. Hee Seop Choi hit his first home run of the spring, a two-run drive in the third off Mark Lukasiewicz. Winner Mark Prior gave up three hits in four innings. struck out five and walked three. Cubs (ss) 13, Brewers (ss) 6 At Phoenix, Eric Karros had three hits, including a grand slam off Mike Matthews. Alex Gonzalez also homered for the Cubs. A KENT, Ohio (AP) Thomas Mobley did the shooting and let hi~ jubilant College of Charleston teammates do all the cheering afterward. Mobley, despite a case of laryngitis, scored 12 of his 20 poipts in the second half to lead the Cougars past Kent State 71-66 Wednesday night in an NIT opening-round game. "We played as focused, tough, whatever adjectives you want to use, for the final 20 minutes as we have all season," Cougars coach Tom Herrion said. "Thomas and . the entire team got on a roll and this was a tremendous win.'~ The Cougars (25-7) of the Southern Conference will play Thursday night against Providence, which won at Richmond 67-49. "We wanted to play another game because we came in with a sour taste," Herrion said of the Cougars, who lost a bid to the NCAA tournament when they fell to East Tennessee State in the conference tournament final. Antonio Gates scored 17 points to lead Kent State (2110) of the Mid-American Conference. "1 didn 't play as well as I wanted," said Gate s, who shot 4-for- 12 from the field . "I was definitely frustrated with my performance." The Golden Flashes, who went to the NCAA tournament the past two years and advanced to the NIT quarterfinals in 2000, fell to 2-5 in live appearances in the NIT. The Cougars are now 2-2 in three trips to the NIT. "I'm very disappointed in our Jack of focus ," Kent State coach Jim Christian said. "We kept giving them life and you do that to a good-shooting team you are going to pay for it. "We had a total of 22 turnovers in three games in the MAC tournament and 19 tonight, 12 of them unforced." Mobley hit three 3-point shots and scored II points in a four-minute span to help the Cougars turn a 29-26 halftime deficit into a 47-42 lead with I0:20 to play. Kent State then turned up its defensive pressure, limiting the Cougars to just one field goal over a 6:42 span. Tony Mitchell, who scored 18 points, snapped the drought with a 3-pointer. After Kent State misfired at the other end, Mobley hit anotller from beyond the arc for a 59-52 lead. Kent State pulled within 68-1)6 when Gates made one of two free throws with 20.3 to play. The Cougars converted II of 15 free throws in the final I:31 to secure the win. Gates, a 6-foot-5, 250pound senior, set a singleseason school scoring record with a free throw with 5:09 remaining. He finished with 640 points this season and averaged 20.6 for his college career. "Thar doesn't mean much when we come up short," Gates said. "That' s what matters ." Junior center John Edwards had 16 points on 7for- 7 shooting for the Flashes. Mitchell shot 3-for-5 on 3pointers and scored nine points in the first half for the Cougars. Both teams had trouble taking care of the ball early. Kent State freshman guard DeAndre Haynes had seven of the Flashes' 13 turnovers in the first half. The Cougars had II turnovers in the half. Hornets take down K.nicks HEALTHY had eight rebounds and eight assists. Davis' 3-pointer with 5:40 left started a 7-2 run after New York pulled to 84-83 on a jumper by Michael Doleac.

May I offer a . few additional thou~ts? If 'Talked to Death" can get away from him. she should do it. And when her husband realizes he's losing control, she must be prepared for it, because his behavior will intensify. She should go elsewhere to telephone her old friends (with a calling card), get help, find a job, stay posilive and move forward. -· RECOVERING IN NEW JERSEY DEAR RECOVERING: How kind of you to reach out to her. and to other people in verbally abusive relationships. It seems the spouse's actions are classic. Read on: DEAR ABBY: ''Talked to Death" must run as though her life depends on it, because it Dear Abb Y ADVICE mr. could.

Tell her she's in my thoughts and prayers. I'm happier and more secure in every way since I got away. .. LIBERATED IN IOWA DEAR LIBERATED: I'm not surprised you're doing bet· ter. You have rediscovered your self-worth. One point I would like to add: When leaving an abuser, an escape plan should be worked out in advance, and the abuser should have no warning. Abusers are control freaks and can he unpredictable. DEAR ABBY: After years of degradation, I finally left. My abuser had sought counseling .

Medications can help to ease this disorder, especially when used with behavior modificalion therapy. But if "Talked to Death's" husband doesn't accept responsibility for his actions, she must get out before her self-esteem is damaged beyond repair. It's never too late to start over. I'm now remarried, and happier than I ever thought possible to a man who treats me with love, dignity and respect. •• ELATED IN TEXAS DEAR ELATED: Good for you. People who love ea~h other try to help build on their strengths, not capitalize on their weaknesses. DEAR ABBY: I was the same as that woman's husband. I was a control freak. No one had an opinion better than mine. I never had anything nice to say to anyone about anything. Everyone had something wrong with them. I am now in counseling and have discovered that I am the problem. I hope that husband gets help, or that ''Talked to Death" gets away before it goes any further. Perhaps then her busband will realize that because of his mouth, he has no one left and he too will finally get the' help he ~o desperately needs. FEELING BETTER ABOUT ME IN GEORGIA DEAR FEELING BETTER: Sometimes people have to hit rock bottom before they'll admit they have a problem and seek help. It takes courage to step back and look squarely . in the mirror instead of blammg others · for prob!ems. I commend you for doing so.
