Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana Speech of Senator Mike Mansfield (D., Montana) For Release P , M.'s,~Ht~t ~;,_.s-6 R E V I E 'i ' ( F F ) R E I G N ? 0 L 1 C Y - V I I U 1'1 I T E D S T A T E S F ') l I C Y A N D A C H A f\l G I N G E U R C P E Mr. President: As the Senate ~
e changes. It must be adjusted when and where the need for adjustment exists. Essential adjustm ents are not likely to be made, however, without public understanding of the issues involved. Nor are they likely to be made unless the Government is willing to face these issues with perception, with honesty and with c ourage. The initiative for change in foreign policy must come largely from the Executive Branch because of the s pecial obligations of the President in this ccnnection. But we in Congress, in the Senate, are not without our own responsibilities under the Cons titution to speak out, to advise, and to consent on foreign policy . Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 2 - That tho ugh t has prc ;n pted this 11 Review of Foreign Policy". In previous remarks I have dealt with the situation in Southeast Asia, North Africa, the Middle East, the Vestern He mispherc and the African Continent. In these addresses I have been attempting to bring to the attention of the Senate what I believed to be the essential facts respecting each region and the co urse which this country has followed in coping with tthose facts. Where possible, I have advanced suggestions in the hope that they might be helpful in improving our po licies, This series is n ow drawing to a close. Before completing it, I want to consider the areas which have been, in effect, the main concentrations of American policy dur ing the past decade . One of these areas is Europe. It is the situation in that continent -- the changing situation in that continent - - that I wish to cover in my remarks today . Our relations with Europe are of vital importance to us not only in themselves but also in their influence on our policies elsewhere . I have discus sed at length in previous statements how considerations arising out of the European situation color our policies in the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and other areas. Sometimes, in my judgment, these adjustments of policy have been valid, or at least understandable, and in others they have not been. I shall notre-describe this inter-relationship at length today. I believe it sufficient at this point Merely to reemphasize the fact that we have not infrequently taken major positions elsewhere which we would probably not have taken except out of concern for the attitudes and interests of the countries of We stern Europe. That Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 3 - such is the case is an indicator of the indirect significance of E'urope in our total policy. As for the importance of our direc t relations with the Eur opean continent, Members of the Senate are well aware that this country has participated in two major wars, both of which originated largely in crises in Europe. They know, too, that the bulk of our post-war expenditures for foreign aid have been directed to that continent and that some of our most extensive military commitments for mutual defense have Likewise been undertaken in concert with the European nations. It is obvious, therefore, that E'urope lies close to the core of our foreign policy . There are many reasons why that is the case. To the extent that they are valid reasons, they add up to this: The freedom, the peace and the well-being of this nation can be profoundly transpires in the lands across the Atlantic. decisively - - influenced by what I have no desire to revive the old and tattered debate as to whether Europe is more, less or equally as important as the Far Fast in our foreign relations . In any event, I intend to deal with the latter region at a later time . let me say now, though, that in the modern world, for better or for worse, we cannot insulate this nation against the tremendous impact of European develop ments on our security and well-being . Just one example should suffice to demonstrate why that is so. Our budget for national defense this year is 40 billion dollars. That is the sum which the American people take out of their earnings and their wages to support our Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 4 - army, navy and air force. It is a heavy burden but we sustain it for the sake of the safety o f the nation. ·vre might well asl< ourselves what that burden wo uld be, what would c0me ,)Ut of our earnings and wages for national defense if the countries of Western Europe were not free, if they were not linked in peaceful ties with the United States. Suppose, instead, the great productive capacity, the skills and genius of that region had been impelled into a hostile totalitarian camp after World War II. What would be the levy on ourselves for national defense at the present time? Eighty billion dollars? Twice the present burden? Three times? Is it not probable that the levy would have also included the cost of a third world war and that we might now be living awid its ruins if indeed we were living at all? When we become irked with the responsibilities of foreign policy and especially those which relate to Europe, these are some of the questions that we would do well to aslc ourselves . Nor is defense -- mutual security -- the sole basis for the great significance of Eur ope in our foreign relations . Are we so prosperous, so selfsufficient in an economic sense that we can dismiss lightly an annual trade with Vlestern Europe of $7. 5 billion? How many jobs, what return to American ind'.lstry and agriculture does this trade represent? Can we, finally, ienore the contributicn in science, religion and art which Europe has made and can continue to make to our national progress? To cite just one specific example, hew many years might it have taken for us to develop atomic energy without the work of Ein s t e in, Fermi and other European Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 5 - scientists? Without their contribution, would we have achieved atomic weapons before enemies bent on our destruction during World War II? There is no need to labor the point, Mr. President, It is clear that many bonds, both visible and invisible, stretch across the ocean between Europe and America. They are, for the most part, useful and mutually helpful bonds. They may rub us uncomfortably and irritatingly at times, I have no doubt that the Europeans suffer similar adverse effects on occasion. Relations among nations are not much different in this respect than among human beings. If I may use a word which the Secretary of State has popularized in recent months, however, it is the "totality" of the relationship that counts. Most Americans, I believe, are aware that in this totality, there is an important identity of interest between the European nations and the United States. Our foreign policy over the past decade has interpreted this awareness with great fidelity. The M:arshall Plan, the Berlin airlift, the North Atlantic Treaty Crganization, the restoration of a free Western Germany within the Western community -- these measures are the highlights of a policy that has continually expressed the deep interest, the enlightened self-interest of this nation, in the survival and strengthening of a free Europe. I am sure many rr>istakes have been made during this post-war period in carrying out our policy with respect to Europe, some noticed, some unnoticed. Mistakes will always be made so long as foreign relations continue to be conducted by human beings. It will be so with Der.1ocrats as well as with Republicans. Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 6 - Let us by all means take reasonable precautions against mistakes and recognize and correct them when they arc made. But let us not bec0me so obsessed with mistakes that we dry up the well-springs of courage and initiative which this country must have to adapt to the international life of our times . Nor should we in an unseemly eagerness to find fault with ourselves and others ignore the fact that the enormous achievements of past policy would not have been possible without some risk and irritation. Let us ask ourselves what our national position would now be if we had not dared to help the free European nations to recover from V'orld War II. What would our 3ituation be had we not interposed the strength of this country between an exhausted Europe and the expansionist dreams of the power -mad dictator to the East? I believe the citizens of this country know that intelligent foreign policies eve r the past decade, mistakes and irritations notwithstanding, have done much to preserve freedom and peace in Western Europe and, in so doing, have served the deepest interests of the United States. If doubts as to the effectivenes:> of our foreign policy are now developing, Mr. President, it is because there has appeared in this government a tendency to seek refuge in the security of successful past pol ides rather than to explore the unknown of new policies, an exploration which is essential to meet the changing pattern of the international situation. The past can guide. It can provide a base on which to build. But foreign policies effective once do not remain effective forever. If they are to serve the interests of this nation, they must remain a vital element in our national life. They may evolve out of the past but they cannot idle in the past. Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 7 - A policy that served the American people in 1')45 was no longer entirely applicable in l 950 . \'!hat was helpful in 1953 can be a hindrance in 1956 unless we adjus t it to the realities of 1956, These realities with respect to Europe are vastly different than they were just a short time ago. The European situation is changing and it is changing rapidly. The changes, as I understand them, Mr . President, radiate from three principal geographic sources, from within Western Europe, from within the Soviet system in ,'{es tern Europe and from within the whole of Germany. Cur policies, however, have been slow to accept the fact of change in Europe. They have gone on in the old familiar patterns , It is only in recent weeks, with the Secretary of State in this country, that there have been sign~ of an awakening on the part of the Executive Braach to the need for adjustments . Unfortunately, the hour is already late. Press correspondents and other observers have long been alert to the emergence of new trends in Europe and they have reported them accurately and pro mptly to the American public. Members of Congress have also noted these trends in their missions abroad. The Executive Branch, however, despite the vast and costly array of information-gathering facilities at its command, seems to be the last to learn the truth. I wonder sometimes at the efficacy of these facilities or at least at the capacity of the responsible authorities in the Executive Branch to act on the info rmation which they may supply . In appraising the changes in Eur ope, Mr . President, I should like to turn first to the area which is of most direct concern to us, to Western Europe. Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 8 - Since the end of World ".far II cur policy has been aimed at the pref:crvation of freedom in that area. It has also sought closer collaboration as among the Western European democracies themselves and with us and ethers in the North Atlantic Treaty Organizatton. For reasons of which I have already spoken, these have been valid cbjectivcs of American policy. ')ur people, expressing themselves through Congress, have consistently supported them. The Europeans, other than the Communists, have generally welcomed t.hem . It is not difficult to find evidence of the success of this policy of support of freedom and close collaboration in Western Europe . The region has not only recovered from V!orld 'l!ar II in an economic sense but has recove r ed so thoroughly that its peoples are reaching out for new and unprecedented standards of living. The Europeans now have more military strength to resist the pressures of totalitarianism from without and within . They have also moved a considerable distance towards integration as among themselves. ·vrith other free nations, moreover, they have participated in building up the commc.n defense structure of NATO. A casual observer, Mr . President, might find the picture I have jusc drawn a most encouraging one. It is. The only trouble with it, howevt!r, is that it is incomplete. Progress in ~'/este rn Europe has indeed been real and extensive but it has not been unalloyed. There are shadows as well as highlights in the situation and it is a function of res ponsiule government to bring both to the Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 9 - attention of the American people. If the Executive Branch is unable to paint a full and accurate picture cf our predicament -- the dark as well as the light - the Senate is not without capacity to do so . I hope that my colleagues will not attribute to me a dour outlook on life if I now make an effort in that direction with respect to :Jestern Europe. I should like to turn first to the question of V'lestern European integration. I noted a moment ago that \.he ·'{estern European nations had made considerable progress in that direction over the past decade. For many reasons, that progress is of greatest importance to the future of Europe. In the first place, integration is a key to the end of the suicidal wars which have torn at the vitals of Yves tern civilization over the past century. Furthermore, it is a key to the rising standards of living which the peoples of v.Testcrn Europe are demanding with increasing insistence from their political and economic systems. Integration is important, finally, because, together, the European nations will be able to maintain, in greater security, a higher degree of freedom than each could ever expect to do alone . We ought not to underestimate the difficulties which confront the nations of 'ivestern Europe in a further march towards unity. The vested interests which conspire against it are great . The suspicions are ancient. The fears are deep. Without underestimating these difficulties, however, we should also recognize the urgent necessity of overcoming them. A united Europe is not only the great promise of the Twentieth Century for the people of that continent . It may well be their last hope of free survival. Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 10- Unfortunately, Mr. President, after moving forward impressively with such underta!cings as the Coal and Steel Community and W'estern European Union, Furopc may now be retreat1ng from the goal. Certainly, the moment is long overdue for further progres:) in the integration of power facilities, transportation, markets and currencies. The great test of the future of unity in Europe may well come in the matte r cf atomic energy. I s there sufficient strength in the concept of Europeanisrn to harness the creative talents of European science and industry in a common ef!ort to develop this great new source of power? Is there real prospect for the acceptance of some such plan as Euratom? If there is not, it is not too difficult to envision the end of the surface prosperity and c0operation which the Western European nations now enjoy in a new outbreak of cutthroat nationalistic rivalries. In the larger grouping of the free nations in NA TC the same shadows of divisiveness that have appeared in Vfestern Europe are also apparent. A deadlock over Cyprus has turned allies against one another in terroristic out-breaks and repri!ials. The dispute has disrupted the eastern defense structure of NATO and jeopardized the stability of the entire Middle East. Mr. President, I know that this country, standing outside the conflict, cannot fully apprecia te the interests and attachments which are at stake in Cyprus f.n British, Greeks and Turks. Are the stakes so important, can they be so important, that they are each prepared to gamble their own future and the Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana -11-- common future of NATC on a trial by continued strife? Can there be greater risks to any of them in a resumption of negotiations or the acceptance of the conciliation of friendly nations? Beyond Cyprus and the similar distracting difficulties of the French in North Africa, lies the whole question of the erosion not only of the military structure of NATO but of the very concept of NATO itself. There are some who attribute this erosion to the decline of the danger of Soviet military aggression in Europe and to the outdating of the organization by the development of new nuclear weapons. I think it more accurate, Mr . President, to attribute it to an excessive eagerness on the part of other free nations and ourselves to discard the irksome burdens of preserving peace. When I was in Europe last fall, I noted this tendency which was already strong in the wake of the Geneva conference. I made this observation with respect to it in a public report to the Committee on Foreign Relations: ''If we confuse an atmosphere of peace with the actuality of peace we have no one to blame but ourselves. If we rush to disarm before agreements on disarmament with proper safeguards have been achieved, the fault is our own. If at the first sign of peace each of the nations in the '/!estern alliance begins to pursue policies which ignore the needs of the others, it will not require any great skill on the part of the Soviet Union to disintegrate NATO and the other instruments of Western unity. They will soon fall apart of their own accord.'' In making that observation, Mr. President, I did not mean to imply that NATO should be regarded as something sacrosanct. Certainly, changes in that o rganization should be made and they should be made promptly, if they are necessary. Military structures are not designed to last unchanged in perpetuity. Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana -12- The dangers to NATO do nol lie in an intelligent adjustment of its strategy and its requirements to a changing situation. The dangers lurk in haphazard adjustment, in changes dictated not by political and military realities, but by wishful thinking and the unilateral pursuit of short-range mterests by member-states. Even if the threat of Soviet aggression has receded, even if, as some speculate, mutual possession of super-bombs has now given us the cold comfort of a peace of "mutual terror" - - even if that were the case, is the need for Weste rn cooperation any less pressing? If the concept of NATO·.·' ::. ·.·! ·:-· !'" ' ;· · r · -- the concept of the mutual defense of free nations -- is obscured, how long will it be before new threats to these nations will arise from outside or perhaps even from within the group itself:? There are some who contend that NATO is essentially negative in purpose, that the survival of the organization depends on the existence of a specific and incipient military danger. Certainly, the Soviet threat was a factor in the creation of the NATO but is it the only factor? Have we forgotten that twice in this century, our civilization has skirted the edge of doom, that twice our heritage has been tossed recklessly into the fires of war, by conflicts which began within VTestern Europe and spread their great damage in that region? Communism fed on these conflagrations. After the wars the Communists probed among the charred and smoking ruins and tore down nations and ideals which had been severely weakened by the conflicts . That is the destructive role which communisr.n has occupied in the contemporary world and we must not lose sight -not of it. By the same token, however, il is essential/to obscure the fact that the Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 13 - greatest damage to the free natic ns has been largely self-1nflicted. It has re-s uited fr om their own inner disunity, and partict>larly the disunity of the \i-'estern European region. Both great wars of this century in the first instance were atlempted suicides on the part of vlestcrn Europe . The critlcal danger of totalitarianism came after, no t before, these massive assaults which the region launched upon itself. And only as a way is found to cope with tendenc:iel:i of this kind will the free nations develo p real security against comm1mism and other forms of to tali tarianis m. That is why, for years, many of us have urged that attention be directed to the positive side of NATO. The recent proposal of the Secretary of 3tate to develop the "totality" of NATO is a step in that direction but it is a belated and halting step and may well have produced only a 1oirage. When this matter was discussed at the May meeting of the NATO Council, scarcely 15 min-utes was devoted to it and it appears as though the proposal were already on the ~ way to bein~n the bureaucratic side-issue of which agency or organization shall do what. What is fundamental is not whether NATO itself is reinforced in its rwn-military aspects or other non-military organs of ,:'/estern cooperation are given greater vitality. V!hat ~important is that the NATO nations retain and strengthen that unity of outlook on which the freedom of each ultimately depends . v'!hat ~important is that they continue to express this unity in deeds. vlhat is impc rtant is that they continue to search out and develop means by which free governments, working together, can better serve their citizens and their comn~on inte rests. Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 14 - The free nations need this strength of common purposes now more than ever before. We; need :t because the changes which arc tak1ng place within the Soviet bloc will confront us with great dangers and great opportunities in the months and years ahead. Th~se changes are not of r<;cent vintage. They have been maturing at least since the death of Stalin. But w..; have been slow in this instance, as in the case of v'.Jestern Europe, to recognize the fact. It is not yet clear what these changes will produce within the Soviet Union, whether they are forerunners of fundamental shifts in the Communist system or simply the prelude to a new and tighter tyranny. We would do well, in any event, not to become overly fascinated by the thrilling mystery stories that are bemg published by the present Soviet leaders. Absorbed in this literature of escapism, we are overlooking the fact that the meaning of the changes is al-ready becoming abundantly clear in the area that is of gr~atest importance to us. That is the area of Soviet relations with other nations. In that area, the changes add up to a vast effort to push the interests of Soviet communism not by the crude tactics of a Stalin but by the traditional techniques of d1P.omacy, trade and exchange . In commenting on these changes two years ago in the Senate, I noted: "There are great stakes involved .... Here it is not a matter of a few r esources, a few strategic positions and a reluctant people being seized by the Communists and dragged 1nto their camp. . . . . The willing allegiance or the benevolent neutrality of entire nations is involved . "The Communists arc striving by a combwation of diplomacy and economic enticements to drive the free nations further and further apart and to draw as many of them as possible into their orbit or into an intermediate stage of neutralism. " Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 15 - If we continue to blind ourselves to the power of these new tactics, we shall do so only at our own risk. It is inexcusable to fail to recognize the impact which they are already producing through-out the world. Their effects are felt in Asia, iu Europe, in Latin America and in Africa. The tactics register, even in such ancient enemies of Soviet communism as Iran, Spain, and Japan. In Europe, communist parties begin to take on a new respectability, and if present trends continue, it may not be long before 'united fronts'' again appear in the European parliaments. Let us face the dimensions of the threat of these new tactics in all honesty. They appeal to a world sick of war and the threat of war. They appeal to nations with a great need to enlarge their trade if they are even to maintain living standards which in some cases arc but a small fraction of what we have in this country. They appeal to countries anxious to speed up their technical progress. It is precisely because they do appeal in this fashion that the Soviet tactics present such a danger to freedom. They draw independent nations away from the resp:>nsibilities of preserving fXlace. They permit wedges to be driven between these nations. They move poverty-stricken, underdeveloped countries into closer alinement with Soviet totalitariansim. We cannot stop this trend either by sanctimonious admonitions or by efforts to outbid the Soviet Union in enticements. In some instances, experience is the only teacher of the truth and we shall have to wait until the lessons are learned. Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 16 - If the shift in Soviet tactics creates these dangers to freedom, it also opens up opportunities. If we ~ are neither disconcerted, discouraged or divided by the sudden Russian emergence into the free world, if W>e do not cower i11 the face of the dangers which it produccs, we may yet be able to seize these opportunities. If we have the courage and the initiative which freedom demands of its adherents, we may find that the door of the closed totalitarian world which has now swung outward may also be made to swing inward. The Soviet Uni.on may discover that it cannot travel out into the world of freedom and expect the repressed states of Eastern Euro~ to remain obediently at home. If we are to take the opp:>rtunities which may follow in the wake of the changes within the Soviet bloc, we cannot lose sight of the fact that the aims of totalitarian communism do not change. We must keep clearly in mind that totalitarianism survives only by feeding its fears and ambitions in an ever-widening tasture of domination. It will do us little good, though, to repeat the fact that th.:.: goals of communism do not change, as though it were some sort of htany, if we fail to recognize at the same time that many roads lead to Communist domination. The goals of the Communists do not change but the ways in which they seek the goals do change and have changed. Until now, we have keyed our policies larg ely to meet a sudden Soviet military thrust to world domination and we must continue to be prepared for that contingency. But can we ignore any longer the fact that Communist progress towards that goal is now being registered by means othe1· than military? Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana - 17 - If the day ever comes when free men no longer have the will to rise together to meet a military challenge, on that day freedom will begin to die. In the same fashion, if the day ever comes when free men can rise together only to meet a military challenge, on that day freedom will have lost its meaning. It is small comfort, therefore, that w~ have built high the walt of military containment only to find that communist totalitarianism moves up, around, and und~r the wall with the tools of economic penetration .and diplomatic maneuver. Nowhere is the danger of Soviet achievement in this connection greater than in the third zone of great change in Europe, in Germany. We have watched that nation rise up out of the ruins of World War II, to become once again a powerful and independent force, the decisive force in the fate of Europe. Until now, Germany has looked to the West. Are we, however , on the verge of witnessing a great shift? The pressures for change are rising in Germany . They are rising out of the issue of frustrated umficatlon. They are rising out of resistance to rearmament and military commitments to NATO. They are rising out of the search for economic and trade oppntunities in the east. They are rising out of the dying promise of Western European unity . These pressures, lv·r. President, I believe, are turning the outlook of Germany away from the .Vest, not toward the East but perhaps 1nward and backward to a past built on neutralism and revival of nationalistic excess. The fact that this past is underscored with disaster for Germany and Europe, as Chancellor Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana -18- Adenauc-r and others in the Bottr:l government knO\V only too well, may not be a sufficient deterrent. The pressures for change may be too powerful even for an Adenauer to curb, especially 1f the Soviet Union should choose to throw mto the situation the di}iomatic and other resources of its new taches at a critical moment. This country has rested its policies respecting Germany on the shoulders of one man, a great and able man. The Soviet Union, however, is in a position to align its policies with the tremendous forces that are at work in Germany, forces with historical roots that go back decades and centuries, forces which will be in operation long after the Chancellor and every Member of this chamber have gone. As I noted in rem arks appended to the Record in 1954: "The Russians could withdraw their occupation forces and expand the nucleus of German militarism which already exists in the East German communits army. They could, in other words, offer Germany a unification with real nationalistic inducements and ask in return only that the Germans separate themselves from Western Europe. 11 The flexibility of Soviet di}iomacy has placed the Russians in a position to manipulate a development of that kind. They control the East German govern-ment and they have di}iomatic relations with Bonn. They have begun, in recent weeks, the withdrawal of their occupation forces from Germany. Will they now go further and accept the Bonn government as a nucleus of political control for all Germany and ask only that a place be made for the communist-trained East German army in the new Reich? Will they acquiesce Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana 19- in expanded German trade with the countries of Eastern Europe, the countries which lie along the road from Berlin to Istanbul, a traditional line of German commercial ~netration? 1 do not know how far the Russians will go. 1 believe, however, that they witt go to great lengths to dissolve the bonds which hold together the free nations, from Greece and Turkey to Scandinavia, and to reduce the influence of the United States on the European continent and in surrounding areas . Mr. President, I have sought in my remarks to survey the changes which confront Amer1can policy with respect to Europe. What we see today are only the dim outlines of what may take place in the months and years ahead. Unless we act to preserve and strengthen the basic foundation of freedom and peace in Europe, the floodgates wilt surely open, and the tidal wave will overwhelm 1ruch of the constructive effort of the past decade. It will carry away the promise of unit in Western Europe. It will cover NATO, It will drive American influence from Europe; it will prepare the ground for totalitarianism and a World War III. There may still be an opportunity to forestall this sequence of events. But we shall miss the opportunity if we comfort ourselves with a pleasant portrait of European developments, as the Executive Branch has been doing these past months. Vv e shall miss it unless we begin first by recognizing the total situation which confronts us in Europe. Seen in that tight, the changes on that continent raise for the foreign poticy of this country three great problems: (l) to provide the leader ship which Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana -20~ which will preserve and str engthen the ins titutions o£ common action which have already been established among the free nations; (2) to recognize the dangers inherent in the n ew Soviet tac tics and at the same time to seize the oppor tunities which they may also create; and (3) to facilitate the unification of Germany and to insure the continuance of its bas ic t i e s with the We stern nations. Mr. President, I know that these problems are easie r stated than met. Yet, it is not impossible to delineate the outlines o£ a p::>licy that might meet them . I list in conclusion some of the elements which I believe are e ssential to such a policy: l. VIe should be prepared to offer the Good Offices of the United State s in a search for a peaceful solution to the Cyprus question. 2 . We should support the prompt inclusion of Spain, Tunisia and Morocco in NATO and the latter two in the United Nations. 3. We should consider sympathetically any reasonable r equest which emanates from France and is supp::>rted by bona fide nationalist leaders in Algeria for assistance in ending the conflict in that region. 4. We should urge a frank, formal and full- scale reexamination of the strategic concepts and the financial and manpower requirements of NATO, while at the same time this country reexamine s its own foreign aid program. Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 29, Mansfield Library, University of Montana . . . - 21 - 5. We should convene, as I have long urged, an economic conference of the NATG nations with a view to increasing commerce as among ourselves and establishing uniform standards for trade with the Soviet bloc, recognizing that if we fail to do s o , we shall run the risk of undermining necessary restrictions in a mad scramble for markets in that region. 6. We should be prepared, on a mutually beneficial basis, to offer extensive c ooperation in nuclear matters to Euratom, if it is established, and we sho uld make clear the terms of our offer promptly. 7. If circumstances permit, we should increase the size of our diplomatic missions m the Eastern European countries, to the end that we may be more fully informed on trends in that area. 8. We should extend the provisions of legislation involving surplus a g ricultural stocks to the Eastern European countries, provided there is a#~t~~:fc,~ these countries, recognizing that the children and the destitute must be exempt frcm conflicts of ideologies in any po licy which is worthy of this country. 9 . We should recognize frankly the resistance to rearmament in Germany and reassess the need for it within the context of the negotiation of sound agreements on disarmament.

As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was running for re-election, about $1 out of every $20 he raised for his massive war chest came from a tiny but elite group of Washington insiders: federally registered lobbyists and their immediate family members, according to a new analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics of campaign finance data and lobbying reports.

The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.

Glengoyne 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky Highlands
Product Summary
Nurtured then matured for 12 years. Natural colour from time and oak casks alone. Highland single malt scotch whisky. Lemon Zest, toffee apples - and a scent of coconut. Hand-selected sherry casks help create this paradise of flavours and rich, golden colour. It's the taste of Scotland's slowest distillation, and our insistence on barley dried by air - never peat. Up to six years from oak Forest toHighland Distillery. That is how long it takes before sherry casks are finally ready to receive our spirit. However, the journey has just begun. Time and wood work together over the next twelve years. - Within the cool darkness of our traditional, earth-floored warehouses. Here, away from sight, the rich golden hue develops, along with a light sherry finish. It is the perfect way to end. - The delicate taste of barley shines through to the last. All in Good Time. Our stills are Scotland's slowest. Unhurried, our new spirit benefits from the gentlest of journeys - developing the unique Glengoyne flavour. Patience. Stillman, Dumgoyne, Scotland. Hand-Selected Sherry Casks - The home for almost all the spirit that will become Glengoyne 12 year old. Oak Casks. Cooper, Jerez, Spain. We dry our barley by air, never peat. This unlocks the subtle, complex flavours of slow distillation and exquisite wood. Unpeated. Mashman, Dumgoyne, Scotland. Fine casks need space to breathe. We stack them just three high, in the cool darkness of our stone-built warehouse. Maturation. Warehouseman, Dumgoyne, Scotland. The rich golden hue of Glengoyne 12 year old comes from time and wood alone. Why would we add anything else? Natural Colour. Malt Master, Edinburgh, Scotland. We've been learning our trade since 1833. Why change something that took generations to perfect? Tradition. Distillery Manager, Dumgoyne, Scotland

text: With that tub you can use a Geberit cable operated one which is similar to what you have but is plastic. You could use a standard lever operated drain. Or you can install a push/pull drain which does not have any mechanical mechanism to corrode or seize up. There is a tool, called a "smart dumbbell" which may remove the bottom drain fitting, but since both pieces of the drain are brass it may be corroded to the point where it will require that it be "cut out".

We don't know about you, but we never stop fighting the good fight against dry skin, especially come the winter months. Meet the most effective weapon in our arsenal. This dry oil hydrates parched skin and disappears in seconds without any residual stickiness or oiliness. And the scent is truly divine, with fresh notes of Moroccan and Bulgarian rose, grapefruit, vanilla, and the subtlest floral undertones.
The oil got me through a really bad Winter - seemingly non-ending! I love the scent and texture along with the moisturizing benefits!
Yes, the price tag is a bit scary for this item, but do not be frightened- it is absolutely worth it. This is a multitasking product which does wonders for dry skin and dry hair. This is the larger size, and it actually lasts a while- if you use too much at once, you'll get too oily! But seriously, I love this product- its exactly what you need when your skin needs a little lovin, and I totally swear by it!
Smells great, absorbs quickly and leaves soft skin all day.
A little goes a long way. Great for entire body.
I first purchased the travel size oil and loved it so had to purchase the biggest size so I wouldn't run out. I also purchased a shower gel. The box arrived and HUGE disappointment, the shower gel was everywhere, the glass bottle wasn't wrapped in any protective packaging and the sprayer broke during shipping. I sent an e-mail with my concerns and the next day I was shipped a replacement! I was told they'd added 100 points for the inconvenience and didn't receive them; but that's okay - wasn't even expecting a replacement. The oil is my fav. Staple in my body care routine, leaves my skin soft and the scent is addicting. Also, the fact that they cared enough to replace my items, makes me and my skin very happy. Thanks Birchbox!
I don't know how this stuff works, but it's amazing. Doesn't leave my face or hair greasy. I really love using it on my hair when it's dry.
I am obsessed with this oil. I use it primarily on my hair when it's very parched. I highly, highly recommend!
I purchased this oil after receiving a tiny sample last winter, and I have used it after every shower ever since. My skin is dry in the winter, and using this oil both before and after my shower has helped. It has no unpleasant or lingering smell, and it makes my skin feel great. Thanks for the sample.
I think body oil is awesome in general - keeps skin much younger looking. And this one is really expensive, but it smells so amazing. I remember reading reviews thinking how good can it smell, and then I used it. Also, the spray is awesome bc you can just spray it directly where you want to apply it, instead of pumping some into your hands and then applying like most other oils. Lost 1 star bc it's so expensive and I didn't really notice if this oil was so much better than say the L'occitane Almond Oil, which I normally use.
Love that this oil not only smells great, but it's not greasy! I put this on every nite on my legs and still feel soft in the morning. Give it a try!
this product is incredible. it works wonder on my dry skin and leaves my hair feeling satiny smooth. and the scent- oh my, so heavenly. i am in love with this oil.

I'm getting frustrated with my iphone when texting because i've got used to the keyboard i type really fast now, but the send button is very very close to the keyboard so i sometimes accidently hit it and it sends a half, if not less, text when i'm not finished. Bit of a pain when your on PAYG!
Is there anything out there that will produce a pop-up everytime i hit the send button which says something like "Are you sure you want to send the text?" with a yes or no button.. something along those lines. Really frustrating that when you press send you can't stop or it anything and you just sit watching the bar go across as it sends
Not a huge problem, i'll just have to be more careful when i type.. but it would help out if there is any sort of way of doing this.

OXFORD, Miss. — The investigation into poisoned letters mailed to President Barack Obama and others has shifted from an Elvis impersonator to his longtime foe, and authorities must now figure out if an online feud between the two men might have escalated into something more sinister.
Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, was released from a north Mississippi jail Tuesday and charges against him were dropped, nearly a week after authorities charged him with sending ricin-laced letters to the president, Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and an 80-year-old Lee County, Miss., Justice Court judge, Sadie Holland.
Before Curtis left jail, authorities already had descended on the home of 41-year-old Everett Dutschke in Tupelo, a northeast Mississippi town best known as the birthplace of the King himself. On Wednesday, they searched the site of a Tupelo martial arts studio once operated by Dutschke, who hasn't been arrested or charged.
His attorney, Lori Nail Basham, said Dutschke is "cooperating fully" with investigators and that no arrest warrant had been issued.
Curtis, who performs as Elvis and other celebrities, describes a bizarre, yearslong feud between the two, but Dutschke insists he had nothing to do with the letters. They contained language identical to that found on Curtis' Facebook page and other websites, making Curtis an early suspect.
Federal authorities have not said what led them to drop the charges against Curtis, and his lawyers say they're not sure what new evidence the FBI has found.
After being released from jail Tuesday, Curtis described a long feud between himself and Dutschke but said he's not sure exactly what started it. It involves the men's time working together, a broken promise to help with a book by Curtis and an acrimonious exchange of emails, according to Curtis.
The two worked together at Curtis' brother's insurance office years ago, Curtis said. He said Dutschke told him he owned a newspaper and showed interest in publishing his book called "Missing Pieces," about what Curtis considers an underground market to sell body parts.
But Dutschke decided not to publish the material, Curtis said, and later began stalking him on the Internet.

March 21, 2012 — The Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay (GSCB) were among councils organizing special legislative events for the 100th Anniversary and Year of the Girl. On March 21, the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay had a busy day at Legislative Hall in Dover, Delaware.
The girls enjoyed cake with Governor Jack Markell to celebrate both Girl Scouts of the USA's 100th and Girl Scouts of Chesapeake Bay's 50th Anniversary. Governor Markell asked all the girls to speak about what they enjoyed the most about Girl Scouts.
Sponsored primarily by Representative Valerie Longhurst and Senator Patricia Blevins, all the female legislators signed off as sponsors on a House Concurrent Resolution recognizing the joint milestones of the national organization and the Chesapeake Bay Council. GSCB Chief Executive Officer Anne T. Hogan addressed the House, as Girl Scouts, troop leaders and parents looked on from the gallery. Representative Mike Barberi specifically congratulated the girls who have finished their Gold Award. Representative Gerald Hocker shared his enthusiasm for Girls Scouts and his particular belief in and consistent support of the Gold Award program.
Later in the afternoon, Girl Scouts participated in the induction ceremony for Delaware Women's Hall of Fame as flag guards. The ceremony was attended by many prominent Delaware women, including First Lady Carla Markell, cabinet secretaries, and state senators and representatives. Also attending was Delaware's Lieutenant Governor Matt Denn and Secretary of State Jeff Bullock.
Girl Scouts were able to visit all the legislators' offices, many speaking directly with their own representatives, learning more about their position in government. GSUSA's long-standing commitment to civic was honored by this exciting anniversary celebration at Delaware's Legislative Hall.

Injuries derailed Nebraska during the first half of the wrestling season.
The Huskers are dealing with more of the same as they return from their Christmas break.
"We have five starters out of the lineup," said Nebraska coach Mark Manning, who won't have anyone wrestle at 149 or 184 pounds this weekend. "We just need to go there and compete and get better. We're banged up right now."
The Huskers return from a two-week break by competing at the Midlands Championships in Evanston, Ill. The opening session starts at 9:30 a.m. Saturday and the finals will be at 7 p.m. Sunday.
The invitational, hosted by Northwestern, features 32 Division I teams — 15 ranked in this week's Top 25.
Six of the seven Big Ten teams participating are ranked, led by No. 6 Illinois. Michigan, ranked 12th, is competing in the Midlands Championships for the first time since 2002. Nebraska, which went 2-2 in duals in December, enters the tournament 17th.
"There will be some MAC teams and some East Coast teams that we normally don't see," Manning said of the Midlands Championships. "This is a tournament format and I'm looking to see how our guys compete in a tournament. It's going to have a lot of good teams. There's a lot of good competition and obviously a lot of good individuals."
Many of Nebraska's top individuals will be sidelined by injuries.
"We won't have Jake Sueflohn, we won't have James Green, we won't have Josh Ihnen, we won't have Donny Longendyke," Manning said.
Sueflohn (149), Green (157) and Ihnen (184) are ranked nationally in the top 10 in their respective weight classes and have a combined record of 41-6 this season. Longendyke has been the Huskers' starter at heavyweight.
They will heal up in preparation for Nebraska's return to Big Ten dual competition — the Huskers' next event is a dual at Michigan on Jan. 11.
Robert Kokesh will be in Nebraska's lineup this weekend. Kokesh is 16-1 and ranked eighth at 174 pounds.
Also for the Huskers, Brandon Wilbourn will fill in for Green at 157; Ridge Kiley and Skylar Galloway will be available at 141, and Manning could go with Tyler Koehn or Austin Wilson at 165.

great secret camera
I was surprised how good this was - the microphone is excellent, and the video quality surpassed my expectations on a product this cheap. The big draw back is its pretty difficult to know what its aiming at - but then i also thought it was good fun trying to work out ways of holding it that didn't look wierd ! The instructions were god awful - failing to show (so far as I could see) which bit of the metal unscrews, which way up to insert a micro-SD card, and giving all the wrong colours for the flashing lights. Given the fact that it only has one button, one SD slot and two flashing lights I found that bafflingly bad. Nonetheless I rate it 5 stars, as once I got it working through trial and error it far surpassed my expectations for such a modest priced gadget.
I bought the Spy Pen - HD Video Camera because my video camera recently broke. It was also just for a bit of fun. I really enjoy using it to video people secretly. Once you get to grips with how to use the button it's really simple! It would be better if it did come with the micro-SD card but it isn't much more expensive to buy one. I would recommend this pen to anyone who wants to become a spy or just wants to have a laugh!

My absolute favorite Cushing Frankestein film. To play the characters completely different from his other portrayals of the same character is a testament to his skill. I love the darker, more psychotic Frankenstein. This rounds out my top 3 Hammer films!

My 2nd all time fave and in today's culture, VERY through provoking for the time. The gender switch and Bates and Bestwick could actually pass for brother and sister in this which makes the transfer that much cooler. Saw this on the Big screen FINALLY last year and it was amazing!

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Central Michigan men's and women's cross country team raced against top-competition Saturday at the Pre-Nationals meet at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course.
Both the men's and women's squad came into the race ranked 12th in the USTFCCCA Great Lakes Regional Poll.
Sophomore Nate Ghena was the top men's finisher, completing the 8k race in 25:05.93.
Junior Ethan Lievense finished right behind Ghena in 25:06.16. Freshman Spencer Nousain rounded out CMU's top-three men's performers crossing the finish line in 25:20.35.
"Our one through three wasn't as far up as we needed to be associate head coach, Matt Kaczor said on the men's team. "We just didn't have a fifth to help us out today."
On the women's side senior Krista Parks was the top-finisher completing the blue division 6k race in 21:42.04.
Kelly Schubert and Breanne Lesnar were among the top-three women's finishers on the day. The sophomore-duo finished in 21:48.73 and 21:49.40 respectively.
Kaczor was pleased with the effort on the women's side. "The women had a good race today," Kaczor said. "One through five gap was about thirty seconds so that was good."
The men's team ended the day placing 48th with the women placing 33rd.
University of Colorado men's squad finished first with 90 points, while Georgetown University finished on top of the women's side with 117 points.
The Chippewas are back in action on Saturday, Nov. 2 when they head to Bowling Green, Ohio to compete at the MAC Championships.

Metra riders are no longer getting a discount for purchasing a 10-ride fare. .
The Metra Board of Directors voted last month to change the cost of the once discounted 10-ride pass to be equivalent to the price of 10 one-way fares. The change was made to help fund capital improvement projects, Pioneer Press reports. The policy went into effect Feb 1.
Winnetka and Glencoe lies in the D zone on the Metra system. Commuters from this zone to downtown Chicago will now pay $47.50 for a 10-ride pass, or $4.75 for a one-way ticket. Monthly passes are $121 and weekend tickets are $7.
Ten-ride tickets purchased between Nov. 17 and Jan. 31 are valid through Feb. 28.
What do you think about the Metra fare increase? Will you take Metra less?

Quentin Tarantino Gossip
Quentin Tarantino gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Maybe It's Good That Quentin Tarantino Movie is Ruined?
Who ruined Quentin Tarantino's next big movie? That's the question everyone's asking today in Hollywood after the script for his upcoming Western, The Hateful Eight, leaked. And what's really interesting is that the list of potentially guilty parties is REALLY short. According to his new interview with Deadline, Quentin had only shown the script to six people, including Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, and their agents. Full Story

The Cliffs at Etretat
Claude Monet
French (1840-1926)
Oil on canvas
During the 1860s, '70s, and '80s the village of Etretat on the Normandy coast became an increasingly fashionable vacation spot for families from Paris and other cities in Northern France. Painters such as Gustave Courbet and Giovanni Boldini helped to encourage the popularity of the place, recording the spectacular shapes of the cliffs and the changeable weather conditions of the English Channel. In Monet's painting, the cliffs rise out of the water -- half in cool shadow, half in warm, bright sunlight -- dwarfing the tiny boats with their orange sails, which glide between and around them. Unlike Boldini, who uses the cliffs as the background for a picturesque image of locals and tourists crowding around a fishing boat in Return of the Fishing Boats, Etretat, Monet focuses his attention -- and ours -- on the light that reflects off the constantly shifting surface of the water and the solid, craggy faces of the monolithic rocks.
This work is currently traveling abroad as part of the Clark's international tour.

Charlie Brewer's Slider Heads - Pro Snagless
Charlie Brewer's Pro Snagless Slider Heads offer quick, easy ''Texas style'' rigging and have proven to be extremely weedless and almost snag-proof. Snagless Slider Heads are a great way to fish heavy cover like logs, tree tops, stumps, stick-ups, roots, weeds and other types of lunker-holding structures without the hassle of getting hung-up on every cast. These sliders heads are powder painted to ensure a long-lasting finish.
Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bassfisherman12345 Great hooks These are some great hooks for fishing with grubs or skirted plastic baits. I use them in New England all summer long. December 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KeyCutter Great product Charlie Brewer's Slider Heads - Pro Snagless Work great. Did not care for the way BP shipped them. June 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by floridabass Give them a try I have used Charlie Brewer's Slider Heads for years. They are easy to rig up and use. The bend in the shank keeps the worm head from slipping. The built-in weight keeps the worm down on the bottom. I prefer using this set up over using a worm weight pegged to the line. The entire rig is pretty weedless and I throw this rig into some thick cover like hydrilla and peppergrass. I also use braided line when I go into tough cover. If the water is cloudy, I use a fire tail worm and give the rod tip short quick twitches. It is easy to set the hook and the hook will hold your catch. March 27, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Don41 Love This This works great with the soft baits that I use for walleye and bass fishing. March 22, 2011

Do-Nothing Fishing?
Details:I've had a couple of slider heads in my tackle box since the 1980's. Just the other day, I just pulled them out of a big pile of hooks in a box. Years ago, I believe there was an expression called "Do-Nothing" fishing. That's when you rigged up a slider head with a worm texas style, cast it out and then let it sit on the bottom until you got a strike. Am I remembering it correctly, was it the slider head that was called that?
3 years, 4 months ago
Top 100 Contributor
A:No that wasn't the slider. A "do nothing" if I remember correctly was a worm that basically did nothing. The shape was uniform with no head or tail. Just kind of like a cigar shape with rounded ends.

Top 500 Contributor
A:The "letting the bait sit on the bottom" is called dead-sticking. The "Do-Nothing" method is to cast the rig out and slowly reel back with out any added action. No jigging or working the bait of any kind except for very slowly reeling in of the rig.

The center position in Sunday's NBA All-Star Game has gone the way of the phone book, lickable stamps and folding road maps — things we have no use for anymore.
The league eliminated the spot from the fans' ballot this season. Centers have been rolled into a new category called "front-court players," meaning they have been grouped with all the forwards.
The NBA finally caught up with the evolving style of play, with so many teams playing small ball and some opting for a positionless philosophy (see the defending champion Miami Heat).
Besides, the traditional dinosaur centers are virtually extinct anyway. Better to elect a more deserving forward than name another center just to have a back-up like in the past.
The problem is that some center might get snubbed one day, lost in the pile of forwards unless coaches come to his rescue in naming the reserves. New Jersey's Brook Lopez has been terrific, but he wasn't in the game until Commissioner David Stern appointed him to take injured Boston PG Rajon Rondo's place on the East roster.
LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony figure to be chosen as front-court starters for another six or seven years, leaving only one more starting front-court spot to fill. It could get interesting if Philadelphia C Andrew Bynum ever gets healthy enough to be taken seriously on the ballot.
Grizzlies fans can make a case that the new format cost Memphis C Marc Gasol a trip to Houston.
Dwight Howard is the all-star game's only true center in the starting lineups. His matchup against Boston's Kevin Garnett or Miami's Chris Bosh — former power forwards — reflects a change.
Howard is a conventional throwback and was the league's most dominant big man — until he became a Laker. His coach, Mike D'Antoni, has said that pounding the ball into a center doesn't fit his offensive style.
Garnett has been a power forward with small-forward skills his entire career before moving to the middle. He was voted to a front-court spot by fans largely because there were few other choices (after Howard left the East and Bynum has yet to play).
Reflecting a movement to downsizing, Bosh also was moved from power forward to center for the Heat last season. He was named a starter at some position for Sunday's game, replacing Rondo in the lineup. (What did you expect Miami Heat/East coach Erik Spoelstra to do? Start Cleveland PG Kyrie Irving for Rondo and snub his own player?)
Any hand-wringing over the death of the position has been overblown, considering the East has four players listed as centers: Garnett, Lopez, Bosh and Chicago's Joakim Noah.
Howard is the West's only true center, but there's San Antonio's Tim Duncan, who has played center for the Spurs for years but is listed as a power forward. Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge and Golden State's David Lee play power forward for their teams and can pose as centers in an all-star game.
Again, with Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant and L.A. Clippers' Blake Griffin occupying West starting front-court spots for another decade, the pressure will be on coaches to reward centers.
Magic coach Jacque Vaughn says he can see the day when "there will be no such thing as positions."
Oddly, the East's hybrid lineup of Garnett, Bosh, LeBron, Melo and D-Wade will consist of no true center and no true point guard while the West starts Howard and Clippers PG Chris Paul.
Don't blame J.J.
You have to wonder if this horrid season has made SG J.J. Redick think twice about staying in Orlando.
Redick knows this rebuild could get uglier next season and the pain could go on another couple years. He'll also turn 29 in June. His value is at an all-time high, and he can become a free agent after the season.
Redick can quietly tell the Magic he has decided to explore free agency and ask the club to trade him before the Feb. 21 deadline, preferably to a playoff-caliber team. Any team looking to acquire him probably would want to re-sign him longterm after giving up an asset, though.
Fans would be upset about losing Redick or if he pushed for an exit, but he shouldn't be reviled. Don't lump him in with Dwight. He's not a franchise player, and he isn't responsible for the Magic's current mess.
Attack of the dot, dot, dots
Magic C Nik Vucevic, voted to play in the rookie-sophomore all-star game, could also be a candidate for the most-improved player award. He has virtually doubled his output from last season, when he played for the 76ers. Vucevic's biggest obstacle in his bid has to do with other numbers: Those are 15 and 37, the Magic's unsightly record. ... Magic PF Andrew Nicholson was named to join Vucevic in the game, playing for the other side. For the past few weeks, the media-shy Nicholson, curiously, has been a man of many words. Maybe it was his agent, but somebody finally got through to the St. Bonnie physics major that he can't open endorsement doors by being a grump. … My guess is that if the Magic land one of the top five lottery picks they'll pass on selecting Kentucky C Nerlens Noel. Noel tore his ACL last week. GM Rob Hennigan already has taken a cautious approach, staying away from Bynum (knee) and Lopez (broken foot last season) in the Howard trade-scenarios and Jared Sullinger (back) in his first draft last June. Hard to see him taking a chance on Noel as he takes his first swing in a lottery.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chitowngirl Gorgeous bag! I have been waiting to find a beautiful and very functional bag like this one. Yes, it's very pricey, but so worth it. I love everything about it. So practical, elegant, classy and classic!!! September 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MamaOfToryDevotee Beautiful bag This bag has many of the features I was looking for, including: multiple compartments, detachable crossbody strap, color that goes with both black and brown outfits, size that is big enough but not too big and not too heavy, and polished, chic style. Magnetic snap in the middle section appears good and strong, but I haven't adequately "test driven" this yet. To help ensure the snap stays closed, I won't overpack this middle compartment. On the plus side, it will be easy to get to my phone when it rings, since the phone pocket is in the middle area. The zippered compartments on the sides are large enough to hold a fairly large wallet, checkbook, etc. Zippers work very smoothly which is what you would expect from a bag at this price. Snakeskin is supposedly hot right now, but I believe the classic look of this bag will keep it in style for many years to come. September 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MilitaryWife Fabulous bag! The picture shown does not depict what this bag actually look like. It looks sooo much better in person! Very chic, very trendy! I LOVE the feel of the bag (it actually feels like a smooth snake skin, scales & all)! July 10, 2013
