The Press-Dispatch vailed between the two glob- al superpowers. The arms race continued. Continued from page 2 Missile silos were filled with enough nuclear warheads to bury both sides in rubble many times over. And nei- ther side dared press that button—a first strike would certainly bring enough re- taliatory firepower to make the attempt completely fool- hardy. Détente, or "contain- ment," became the order of the day. That changed under Pres- Reagan's dream continued after he left office, and the Cold War ended. Today we have the technological ca- pability to protect ourselves from certain missiles fired at ident Reagan, who wisely stepped up the arms race enough to make it financial- ly unsustainable for the So- viets. He also conceived of a missile defense that would shoot down any incoming Soviet missiles. Funding for President U.S. territory or allies. But the system isn't as compre- hensive as what we would need to ensure that the po- tential missile threat posed by Iran, for example, can be shot down. In fact, President Obama has undercut missile de- fense since taking office. That has to change—and soon. We need a shield that will intercept missiles dur- ing all three stages of flight. It's especially important to pursue a space-based com- ponent, which would enable us to shoot down missiles earlier in their flight, when they're moving more slowly. 50 years ago, the world Wednesday, October 24, 2012 H Cuban missile crisis Court report charged with two counts of theft, a class D felony.

Whenever you hear peo- and paid. People who complain ple talking about "a living Constitution," almost invari- ably they are people who are in the process of slowly kill- ing it by "interpreting" its re- strictions on government out of existence. Do either Barack Obama about "negative" campaign ads miss the point. It is per- fectly legitimate to criticize your opponent. The question is whether the ads are about serious things that matter to the future of this country, and whether they are tell- ing the truth or lying.

Christopher S. Miller or his followers have any idea how many countries during the 20th century set out to "spread the wealth"— and ended up spreading pov- erty instead? At some point, you have to turn from rheto- ric, theories and ideologies to facts. I am so old that I can re- member when liberals were liberal—instead of being in- tolerant of anything and any- body that is not politically correct. Whatever happened to Ju- lie Banderas of the Fox News Channel? She had brains, looks, wit and personality. Has she met with foul play? Or has some zillionaire mar- ried her and taken her off to his own private island? The question to be asked of people in the media, and that they should ask them- selves, should be: "Is your first loyalty to your audi- ence or to your ideology?" The same question should be asked of educators, espe- cially those who see them- selves as "agents of social change," even though that is not the job description under which they have been hired ters are said to have an advantage. But the high- est lifetime batting aver- age by a switch hitter (.319 by Frankie Frisch) is more than 30 points lower than the highest batting average for either left-handed hitters or right-handed hitters. The highest batting average in a season by a switch hitter (.365 by Mickey Mantle) is more than 50 points lower. If there is ever a Hall of Fame for confidence men, Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff will have to take a back seat to Barack Obama. Obama is the gold stan- dard—or, perhaps more ap- propriately, the brass stan- dard. I have never known a word to become absolute dogma, without a speck of evidence, the way "diversity" has. H Points to ponder playing cards; you are dealt a hand, and you must play with the hand you are dealt. Life hits us all between the eyes at times and knocks us down. What Christ promises is the ability to take the blow and get back upon one's feet. Since I cannot answer the Continued from page 2 questions in full, can I tell my inquisitor? The old hymn still rings true "my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteous- ness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name." There- fore, my hope lies in what Je- sus told His disciples found at the end of the Book of Matthew "…and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." That is my hope.
