As a Viet Nam Vet I was telling the students about an
especially emotional visit to the Viet Nam Memorial in
DC.  A girl raised her hand and asked me if I was able
to find my name on the wall.

When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick
up our car, we were told that the keys had been accidentally
locked in it.  We went to the service department and found amechanic 
working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door.  As I
watched from the passenger's side, I instinctively tried the door
handle and discovered it was open. "Hey," I announced to the
technician,"it's open." The young man answered, "I already got that side."

Chicago --30-year-old Emad Haddad was shot and killed Friday
afternoon after chasing two men who'd robbed his store-Sunburst
Food and Liquors-on Chi-Town's bright and glamorous 79th Street.

According to cops, two gents toting semi-auto pistols robbed the
store's registers. Witnesses say Emad The Genius (as he will be
remembered) ran after the men with a two-shot derringer and took
a shot at 'em. They returned the favor with a hail of bullets.
Haddad was struck in the head and died on the spot.
