Good News, Bad News
In the past two weeks I have read that:
--The majority of Americans who watched President Reagan’s speech on Iran- contra believe he is still lying about the affair.
--Public support for the contras has faded along with Olliemania.
--A clear majority of Californians would prefer that Gov. George Deukmejian gave the surplus funds to the schools rather than dole it out in rebates.
--Ultraconservative Bobbi Fiedler has decided not to run for mayor of Los Angeles after all.
--A federal appeals court has overturned the ruling of Reagan appointee Judge Brevard Hand that banned 44 textbooks from Alabama schools.
My heart rejoices at these signs of hope for America. Examples such as these show that you do not, as is commonly believed, print only the bad news.
