Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” ARF cats talked about Taz, the newest ARF dog. Little Girl: So, we have another new dog. Sadie: Taz? You told us about the little guy last week. Little Girl: Right, but there is another. Oh! Here he is! Al: Hi! I’m the new guy. You can…

This is an excerpt of a speech I’m giving at the Rotary Club Wednesday morning, as the papers get delivered. Pete Seeger said, “After visits to several Communist countries (USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Slovenia, East Germany, Vietnam, China, Cuba), I feel strongly that most ‘revolutionary’ types around the world don’t realize the importance of freedom of…
