Yet we apply it in the 1960's, in Southeast Asia, in defense of people who do not know what democracy means. And in wrapping this policy around Vietnam, we blinded ourselves to the real Vietnam. We assumed the enemy meant to seize land. We were wrong. He meant to disrupt government. We sent troops in overwhelming number. We were wrong. We shattered a small country's sense of responsibility. We were preoccupied with the changing premieres and presidents in Siagon. We were wrong. It was in the village and countryside where government failed. Now, peace give us a time to right those errors. To stop turning this war into an *American* war. To move Saigon toward reform. To build a strong and trusted village government. To secure the people from terrorism. And in Paris, to work patiently and persistently for peace. At home we must have candor and trust. Americans must believe in government again, and government must believe in Americans. The day must pass where press officers say, "The people I work for don't want to hear bad news."

Promise yourself that you'll never buy another product from the manufacturer? A lot of good that will do. No, Mr. and Mrs. Consumer, that's not the answer. If you have a gripe, let the manufacturer know. Call him up. Write to him. Keep after him until he does something about it. Because nothing bothers a reputable manufacturer more than dissatisfied customers. We at Whirlpool believe in putting our money where our mouth is. We believe we make the best appliances you can buy. Automatic washers, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners, dishwashers, etc. And we also believe our Tech-Care Service specialists provide the best service in our field. In addition, we were the first to do away with the complicated standard warranty and replace it with a fully binding, easy-to-understand warranty letter. We were first to provide a free, nation wide telephone number (800-253-1301) for service information. And we were the first to have consultants answer your calls, thereby solving many of your problems right over the phone. But still and all, we know that you can't please all of the people all of the time. That's the reason for the blank letter on the facing page. If you have a gripe about us, we want to know so we can do something about it. Just write your complaint, tear out the page and mail it to us.

It was nice to briefly discuss New York City's water quality with you. *Are you familiar with this "young elephant" statue outside BNP Paribas' 787 Seventh Avenue office in New York City?:* - https://images.app.goo.gl/5S9Vr <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__images.app.goo.gl_5S9V…> New York City has a story about "Happy the Elephant" that could end-up relating to this "young elephant" statue outside BNP Paribas in New York City. *Bronx Zoo’s Happy the Elephant Hasn’t Been Seen in Two Weeks, Observers Say:* *The zoo says “nothing is wrong with” the half-century-old pachyderm.* - https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/07/31/happy-elephant-mystery-bronx-zoo-nonhuma…'s%20highest%20court%20ruled,and%20freedom%20from%20unfair%20confinement <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.thecity.nyc_2024_0…> . The New York Court of Appeals ruled against a lawsuit that sought to grant an elephant, Happy, at the Bronx Zoo, the right to bodily liberty and freedom from unfair confinement, citing that the writ of habeas corpus <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.google.com_search-…> is intended for human beings, not animals. While acknowledging Happy's cognitive complexity and self-awareness, the court found she didn't possess the fundamental human right to be free from unlawful detention. Here's a more detailed breakdown: - The Case: The Nonhuman Rights Project (NRP) filed a lawsuit in 2018, arguing that Happy the elephant, at the Bronx Zoo, should be granted a writ of habeas corpus, meaning she should be freed from what they argued was unlawful confinement. They claimed she was entitled to the same rights as humans and deserved to be transferred to a sanctuary. - Court Ruling: The New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, dismissed the NRP's petition. The majority of judges ruled that while elephants are intelligent and deserving of compassion, they do not have the same rights as humans, specifically regarding habeas corpus. - Justification: The court argued that habeas corpus is a legal tool intended to protect human liberty and freedom from illegal detention, and it does not apply to non-human animals. - Consequences: This ruling means that Happy remains at the Bronx Zoo, and the legal battle for animals' rights has been dealt a blow in New York. - Ongoing Efforts: Despite the court ruling, animal rights advocates continue to push for better treatment of animals in captivity and are exploring other avenues for change, such as local legislation. ----- Ms. Miedvietsky, <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__xNY.io&d=DwQFaQ&c=euGZs…>

Just one day after he surprised many by appearing outside the Vatican on Easter Sunday, Pope Francis died on Monday at the age of 88. He had been recovering from a near-fatal bout of double pneumonia. The pope appeared on a balcony overlooking St. Peter' Square to deliver a blessing and wave at those who gathered. "Dear brothers and sisters, Happy Easter," he said in Italian.
