| Wild Card -- Weekend
Not for everyone. It's a kid story, after all. And mebbe that's why Wilson's Lewis is so appealing. The guy had so many warts (as I do) and yet he produced the wonderful Narnia series, as well as "Screwtape Letters," "The Great Divorce," "Mere Christianity," etc. Mebbe there's hope for me, yet. Soldier on. DFO .

McCain supporters urge Republicans to unite Gordon Trowbridge / Detroit News Washington Bureau LANSING -- Michigan Republicans sought to unite their organization behind Sen. John McCain on Saturday, elected a slate of delegates to the national convention that will likely be packed with McCain supporters. But the campaign of Mike Huckabee, who has continued his quest despite having almost no chance at winning the nomination, fought efforts by McCain and Michigan primary winner Mitt Romney to deliver Romney's former delegates to McCain.

Editor's Mailbag (Feb. 18)
Who are constantly covered in the media when giving the solutions to war, skin problems, global warming, weight loss and natural disasters. These actors who are courted by politicians for their "endorsements" and have even been invited to testify before Congress concerning topics in which they have no experience or background. These are the same people that require union writers to draft their comments at the Academy Awards.I must assume the Academy was afraid that before and after "And the winner is ...", God only knows what might have come out of their mouths if it were not written for them. But then, that's what actors do. Memorize other people's writings, recite them, and act like it was their own.Sadly, even knowing that, for some strange reason a large percentage of Americans actually pay attention to what these actors think.Ted Salmons, LebanonHow does library district save?There is much talk these days about the Linn Library League (LLL) creating a new library district.
Newcastle? Special? Sorry
You believe that no other club exists with the same passion or emotion and your sincerity is appreciated. It is just that, well, you are wrong. Sorry. Whether blighted by tragedy or blessed by glory, whether filling a stadium with tens of thousands or surviving on a pittance and the devotion of a handful of diehards, just as you feel about your football club, so do millions of others. Everyone thinks that they have the prettiest wife at home, as Arsène Wenger said. Everyone thinks that they have the love supreme. But if everybody is special, then nobody is. So, Liverpool: not special. Manchester United: not special. Luton Town: not special. West Ham United: not special. Newcastle United: not special. Sorry. Kevin Keegan talked a grand game in his opening address at St James’ Park.
