The Baptist Faith and Message passed by the denomination in June denounces homsexuality as immoral, bars women from becoming pastors and accepts the Bible as the final standard for interpreting the Baptist Christian faith. The statement was criticized by Revival under way President Jimmy Carter as · too rigid when he announced he was breaking from the church earlier this month.

' •• Back off TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Thursday, Nov. 16, the 32 1st day of 2000. There are 45 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 16, 1864, Union Gen.William T. Sherman and his troops began their "March to the Sea" during the Civil War. On this date: In 1776, British troops captured Fort Washington during the American Revolution. In 1885, Canadian rebel Louis Riel was executed for high treason. In 1907, Oklahoma became the 46th state of the union. In 1933, the United States and the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations. In 1959, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The Sound of Music" opened on Broadway. . . In 1961, House Speaker Samuel Rayburn died in Bonham, Texas, having served as speaker 'ince 1940 except for two terms. ln 1966, Dr. Samuel Sheppard was acquitted 111 his second tnal of charges he'd murdered his pregnant wife, Marilyn, in 1954. In 1973, Skylab Three, carrying a c rew of three astronauts. w"' launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on an 84-day mission . In 1973, President Nixon signed the Alaska Pipeline measure into faw. · · In l 982, an agreement was achieved with NFL players, in their 57th day on strike. ' Ten years ago: Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev told an angry Soviet legislature he would fire government and military officials blocking his refiJTm plans. Four of the «>-called "KeatingFive" went before the Senate Ethics Committee to deny any wrongdoing in helping failed savings-and-loan owner Charles Keating, Jr. Five years ago: Refming to. yield, Pre,ident Clinton threatened anew to veto the latest Republican offer to end a three-day partial government shutdown; Democrats savaged House Speaker Newt Gingrich for claiming Clinton had snubbed him recently aboard Air Force One. Attorney General Janet Reno disclosed she has Parkinsort Is disease. One year ago: 13-year- old Nathaniel Abraham, .among the youngest murder defendants in U.S. history, was convi cted in Ponti ac, Mich., of second-degree murder for shooting a manger otttside a convenience; store with a rifll: when he wa"i 1·1. Dear Ann Landen: I've been going with my fiance, "Gunther," off and on for seven years. Our relationship has always been somewhat rocky. We were separated for rwo years and recently got back together. Things are wonderful except for one thing . .I have been puzzled by Gunther's newfound voracious sexual · appetite and tendency toward kinkiness. Last week, I confronted him, and he confirmed my suspicions. He had used escort services during the two years we were apart and learned some new trick.s. I was devastated that he would do such a thing, not to mention he had unprotected sex with me knowing he had been exposed to these questionable women. Gunther insists he did nothing wrong because he was unattached at the time. He also believes that all the women he slept with really liked him. He doesn 't realize call girls are paid to flatter their clients. Ann Landers ADVICE Gunther comes from a good family, is a college-educated man, and has an excellent career. I do not understand his vulgar behavior. He has apologized, but I cannot seem to get past this. Should l go ahead with the wedding, hoping I will be able to forgive him later on? I need your advice, Ann.-- Undecided in DC. Dear D.C.: First, get tested to make certain 9ou have not contrac t~d a disease · from Gunther. Insist that he be tested SOCIETY NEWS European criticism of recount drama reveals bias Enough already' · We're not referring to the ongoing drama being played out in Florida and other localities surrounding the choice of our next president. Actually, our complaint is lodged at the various European commentators and "interpretations'" of the recount filtering into our consciOusness. , From British radio talk show hosts to German newspaper editorials, we're led to believe that this year's inability to pick a new leader on Election Night is indicative of (take your choice) our national rot, the fall of the American empi re or the end of western civilization. We say: hogwash. At least one sympathetic editorial writer had it right. We are ca ught in what he called a "statistical improbability" that few except electoral scholars saw coming. and which hasn't been seen in this country since the 1880s. · This situation is n ot the end of our democracy. but in reality, a demonstration of how a free system attacks su·ch a problem.Admitteclly, we could. do without all of the legal wrangl ing now surrounding the process, bur the ship of state remains secure. We have a president until Jan. 20. Florida has a system· in place to decide the winner of its electoral votes. Other states conducting recounts have similar methods to arrive at a winner. Yes, there have been some publi c demonstrations for and against the recount. But it's been nothing compared to the scale of violence that'• greeted several European governments over the decades. We're not saying our allies and neighbors shouldn't coniment on the election.lt's undpubtedly as fascjnating to thein as it is to us. But if they are to make snap judgments about the condition of our nation, it's ironic that they're so cri tical, so boorish, so - shall we say- anti-American' Nations that beg for understanding from us about their internal problems are certainly not practicing what they preach. And if among their analysts and commentators lies an incip ient bias against the U.S. , we should recognize it as such, ignore it and not allow it to inflame public passions. Folks over there believing America is going to hell in a hand basket over the extension of the Bush-Gore campaign are wrong. Unlike their own system of <;oalition governments, shared power and political chaos just below the surface, our own stability remains in place. This is why Bill Clinton will be seated at the next inaugural, watching his successor take the · oath of office. Why that event will occur as sched uled. And why, after more than 200 years and plenty of turmoil, the system sti ll works. . Relax, guys. It's going to take much, much more than recounting votes to se nd this republic down the drain. The Daify Sentinel Holter hosts Literary Oub KONDRACKE'S VIEW Bush, Gore should stop before a crisis ensues . ' This is the richest and freest country in " human history, and one of the happiest. But two groups are in danger of messing it all up: its top politicians and the media. Instead of providing responsible leadership in a moment of.uncertainty - the virtual tie in the presidential elec.t ion - the rival campaigns are ratcheting up their rhetoric and driving the country toward a constitutional crisis. The consequence will likely be that the next president, whether ii's Vice President AI.Gore or Texas Gov. George W. Bush, will have his legitimacy constantly and bitterly questioned by the opposition. A country that's now evenly divided between the parties is on the verge of being dangerously polarized, with its government unable to accomplish anything. The media's role in this disaster is comparatively minor, but real. In a mad, competitive rush to "call" election results, the networks not only got it wrong but may have discouraged people fiom going to th e polls, thereby helping produce the current cri~is. The nerworks, including Fox News, where I'm a commentator, declared a Gore victory in Florida at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, although polls were still open in the Republican-leaning Panhandle region, which is located in the Central Time zone. Besides possibly skewing the Florida result, the wrung call may have affected voter behavior in the Midwest and Western states. For sure, the networks' second error, announcing a Bush presidential victory after 2 a.m., caused the conce~lion call from Gore to Bush, which was later rerracted. It nearly produced a public co ncesSIOn . \ The Gore campaign already has declared that any outcome except a Core victory is illcgirimate. It has stated this in incendiary terms, with campaign chairman William Daley declaring that 20,000 voters in Palm Ueach Cou nty had been "disenfranchised," resulting in "an injustice unparalleled in our history:' Also, without waiting for the Florida Morton Kondracke NEA COLUMNIST re~ount, the Bu:;h campaign announced that transition plans were under way for Bush's takeover of the White House. Transition planning is not provocative both candidates should qe doing it and are but the Gore campaign used the announcement to accuse the Bush campaign of trying to " presumptively crown themselves the victors ... dividing the American people." Instead of letting Florida courts consider a citizen challenge to the hard- to- read "butterfly ballot" in Palm Beach Countv, the Gore campaign has joined the fray, with Daley claiming that "if the will of the people is to prevail, AI Gore should be a\varded a victory and be our next president." There is some reason to think the Palm lieach County ballot is illegaL Florida -law seems to require that the marking bloc k be located to the right of a can didate's nam e. Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan 's box \vas to the left and placed in a way that may have confused Gore voters. Some 19,1)00 ballots were disqualified because they were double-marked. On the other hand, 421 ,Yil0 ballot< in rhe county were sUccessfully cast, whic h the cou rt\ might well find to be evidence that 110 significant ''disenfranchisemeJit ., otTu'rred . .Moreover, th e number of disq ualified ballot< does not signiflc:tntly exceed those 111 previous electiom. And, u>ttally. co um do not invalidate elections unk·ss there has been tf~tLHJ, which diJ ' • not occur in this cas€. In response to Daley's remarks, Bush chair-' man Don Evans declared that "the Democrats . .. are politicizing and distOrting the« events (and) risk doing so at the expense of our democracy." The danger is tha~ the two s ide~, having ' ' politicized rhe case, can't and won't quit. Th~ side that loses in one court is likely to appeal, ultimately to the all - Democrat, highly political .Florida Supreme Court and then, possibly, to the Supreme Court, which may or. may not accep.t the case. There's a possibility Attorney General Janet Reno, who is deeply distrusted by R epublicans, might find ground' to challenge the Florida result in federal court on civil rights grounds. , Conceivably, Florida may not be able to send electors wheii the Electoral College meets Dec. 18. Gore would have a majority of the remaining state electors, but Republi ca ns could chal -· • lenge the vote in other states or even . · '. encourage Democratic electors to defect. Conceivably, the pmcess could becom e su · tangled that no president will have been chosen by Inauguration Day Qan. 20, 2001 ), in which c:ise Speaker Dennis Hasterr (R-I lL) would become acting prt•sident- unless otlier novel- istic intnbrt.ICS occur.

'HARDBALL' Winner must serve a politically divided nation BY CHRIS MATTHEWS NEW YORK CITY - The new U.S. electoral map looks like .the nld Yugo,Iavia. Whoever takes the presidential oath next January will have to deal with this stnrk, disturbmg fact of American politics: The country is divided as mu ch by geography as by party. On the coasts, West and E<L~t. there was not much of a contest on Nov. 7. It \Vasn't close in Cali fornia, where AI Gort1 rriumplwd by more than a million votes, nor here in New York which the vice pr"'tdent car ried by 60 per- . ~.:t::nt.

Westward, he broke the 60-percent barrier in Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. The political geography carries enormous freight for the next man, Hush or Gore, to take the presidential oath. If it's !lush, he will need to govern from a city that voted 85 percent for Gore, covered by a media rooted in Washington and New York , capitals notonous for Democratic loyalty and at least some degree of East-Coast elitiSill .

President Jeanne Bowen opened the meeting with a discussion on the formation of a nominating committee to be headed by Martha Ho over. Faye Wallace announced that she wrote an article for the new volume of the Mei gs County history imd that she showed a recent picture of the Literary Club ,to be included in the book. Leah Jean Ord was introduced as the reviewer for her discussion of "Hidden in Plain View" by Jacqueline Tobin and Raymond Dobard. Tobin is a collector of stories fro.m women's history and Dr. Do bard is a renowned quilter. Together they have pr-esented to the public for the first time the long-held secret Quilt Code. Historians and quilters have long believed that quilts were used as codes in connection with the Underground Railroad. However, Ozella Williams, an African-American quilter and descendent o( slaves, told Tobin to write that the code have never been shared except as oral history from mother to daughter in the African-American culture. The reviewer told how Tobin had gone .to Charleston, S.C., to seek information on weaving sweet grass baskets, visit old markets and view displays of colorfu! 'quilts . While there, Tobin became acquainted with Ozella Williams and became interested in the signiftcance of both quilts and music in the quest ·for freedom in the tJ nderground Railroad. · In collaboration with Dr. Dobard, she took four years to research and write the document trying to tie together the r.elationship of textile patterns, stitching and color in both Africa and America . They realized that there was a meaning hidden in ce rtain p att~rns , such as the "Log Cabin" pattern , referrmg to shelte.rs to be found with those sympathetic to escape. Quilt patterns and stitching were explored in depth, but these >re so closely interwoven with the secret codes of ornamentation and music that these had to be included . It has been said that every spiritual had a double meaning and if they were all known, a full history of the American slave could be told . The authors of the book , using thorough research techniques, have formulated a Quilt Code theory that fully justifies the accuracy of the oral history of the African-Americans and the Underground Railroad. · · In conjunction with this topic, Ord told of several stories about the slaves' longing for freedom and continual planning for escape. She also showed a map of the Underground Railroad rout es, quite a few of them running through Meigs County. A book exchange fo llowed the meeting.

The Oakland Athletics first baseman cried as he looked at his brother and teammate, Jeremy. "This has been story book for me all year long. Havln~ him come over, us winning th~ division, winning this. award," he said. "It doesn't get any better than that." Gia111bi got 14 of 28 first-place votes and finished with 317 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers Association of America: Giambi al-;o got 11 ~t"conds, two thirds and one fifth. Chicago's Frank Thomas, a two-time winner, rebounded from his worst season to finish second with 2~5 poil)tS and 10 first-place votes. Seattle's Alex Rodriguez got the other four first-place votes and finished third with 21 H points. The honor indeed caps a story-book season for Giambi. He hit .333 with 43 homers, 137 RBis and 137 walks. He led the league with a .476 on-base percentage and was third with .a .647 slugging percentage. Bvt Giambi earned the award with an amazing final month, hitting .396 with 13 homers and 32 RBls and leading the A's to the A~ West title. ''I'll never forget this year for the rest of my life," he said, "especially at the end of the year, when my teammates carried me off the field. That will live forever in my memories." When Giamb• carne up to Oakland early in the 1995 season, Mark McGwire was entrenched at first base. Giambi became the slugger's pupil- to the point of cutting his hair short. · The two remain close to this day. When Giambi found o ur he won the award, one of the first cal ls he placed was to McGwtre. PRESEASON NIT Bengals' Mack violates probation Univt:rsity of A~izonJ fres h man, II U:\.1 ',\'lli.E.
