Editor MNH, 6/13/00:
During the period of Islamic expansion the Turks in 1683 besieged Vienna (Austria). Their ultimate goal was to take Rome and stable their horses in St. Peter's nave. The rescuer of Vienna was the Polish king, Sobieski who was given the High Command over the Christian forces and who in a surprise attack routed the Turks. Dead on the battlefield lay 10,000 Moslems and 3000...

I remember it so well; the French prisoner of war returning from the fields unobtrusively dropping a hand full of candies, and the three of us, three little German girls, scampering to pick up the caramel bonbons. It was the only candy I got during the war. You might ask, how come a prisoner had candies when we, the Germans had none. The candy came from Red Cross packages which...

Editor, N.H.: This is in reply to J.N.’s letter "Gore the lesser of two evils. (Dec. 6, 2000) .In German there is a saying: Mitgegangen, mitgehangen -you went along, you hang along; in other words, Gore was part and thereby is tainted by the Clinton administration. .
Clinton's great misdeed was not his perjury, as bad as it was, but the giving of an unconditional loan guaranty of $10 billion to...

Editor MNH: (9/6/06, Not Accepted)
The MNH (8/28/2006) is putting in a plug for Elie Wiesel: “Nobel Prize winner plans talk at Viterbo, Holocaust survivor to speak Sept.27.” If I would be comfortable driving at night I would attend his talk because I have questions for him. I quote from “Night“ “Free from all social constraints, young people gave way openly to instinct, taking advantage of the...

May 31, 2001: The following news blip appeared in the MNH: "Germany frees funds to pay surviving Nazi slave laborers." I quote: "After months of wrangling over a 4.6 billion fund sparked by US lawsuits against German companies, payouts are now expected to start next months to what could be more then 1 million forced and slave laborers, most in eastern Europe."

10/28/00 Editor: The present Israeli-Palestinian conflict brought to my mind a confrontation I witnessed between our cat and a mouse. The cat, named Mulli, always went camping with us. On our first trip I brought cat food, but Mulli preferred her own food and went mousing. Late in the evening when we were in our sleeping bags, we heard the crunching of little bones outside our tent. Nobody felt...

William Shakespeare, psychologist par excellence, put these words into the mouth of one of his arch villains, Richard the Third: "(I) seem a saint when most I play the devil." And thereby on to Mona Charen and her article: "Kids see smut, liberties secure" (MNH,March 24, 2001). In this article Mona takes to task the ACLU and the American Library Association which object to a...

10/20/99 Editor, N.H.: My best friend told me the following story. One evening her boyfriend accompanied her home. She had brought an umbrella which he usurped when it started to rain. Dreamily looking out into the drizzle he said: "On a night like this I wish I could take everybody out there under my umbrella" while all along he had held the umbrella straight up leaving her out in the rain....
