said both countries are aware of the high stakes;----------------- and, hopefully, cooler heads will prevail, and it will be the end

of the affair.

      Lester, A lot of unanswered questions about the Italian cruise ship wreck, and I listened in horror as the lady

      from Bowling Green, Kentucky tell it in her own words. Terrifying, absolutely terrifying. At the end of your

      broadcast was a story about Blackberry emails, which reminds me of robo calls. so I am hoping the people

      involved get a break soon. I am not high tech with either but I can still relate. Have a nice evening!!!

        Lester, I was just reading that it was Poet Maya Angelou who said ML King was arrogant in the truncated

        version. Called him an arrogant twit in fact. Well, if I remember correctly, she came off arrogant in an interview

        many years ago when she said she should not be interviewed for a job because of her literary merits. A

        free pass was what she expected. I have a lousy memory and like I said many years ago, so I may be

        mistaken. Have a great weekend. Phyllis

          PS Lester, as I reflect on MLK Day, I am reminded that it is all about equality as it should be and all having a

          shot at the American Dream and whoever said "they want what they can't have" was a snob if not

          unChristian. Also President Obama promised his transparent govenment which in my mind is the New

          Jerusalem and that is the Promise Land MLK spoke of. Have a nice day!!! Phyllis
