Photo Credit-Don kaiser By Kathleeh Thayer As a follow up story on our "Office" mama cat and her six very beautiful kittens, all of the babies have been happily adopted out to nice families. Mama (whom we tentatively call "Sweetheart", because she is one, has yet to find that special home. Oh, people have been interested, but the more we know her, the more we see what kind of a home would be best and so we must be very selective. As for her progress, when she was dropped off at our office a month and a half ago, she was pitiably thin, painfully matted and very docile. As she grew to know those who cared for her daily, she became, less placid but also very sluttish. The moment the door would open, she would leave her nursing babies and run to a place of safety. Last Sunday her last kitten was adopted and she came home with one of our HP volunteers. At present she is eating well, spends her days hiding under the bed until our volunteer is around. She likes to be brushed, thank goodness is not even the slightest bit in terested in where her kittens are. We were concerned that she would miss them and we are grateful that she does not. She is terrified of men, quick movements, noise and too many people around at one time. -- Let's consider for a moment the foster home in which she ' presently resides. They love her and she loves our volunteer. However, here is the problem. There are eight other cats in , the home, four dogs and three teen agers. It is a very busy home...too busy for her to live forever. We want her to have a quiet life, a peaceful one where she doesn't have to fear any more having litters, being kicked, being left to fend for herself and just being con stantly threatened. She played ball for the first time this morning and will be spayed sometime next week, for our vet states it,can be done anywhere from one to two weeks after the last kitten has gone. If you know of someone that can give this sleek black and white long haired beauty, very small with bright green eyes, a good home, please call the office 459-2641, or her foster folks at 312-658-8389.

Though it takes time (as we have seen in the case Nicaragua) and many ingredients, Western Hemisphere Marxists such as Fidel Castro have found a winning recipe for destabilizing neighbor countries and creating a climate for takeover by their allies. The list of ingredients begins with a' tough and dedicated cadre. James Nelson Goodsell, Latin America correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, notes that most Sandinista troops "are simply Nicaraguan young people who...want something better, as they see it, for Nicaragua. Sandinista leadership, however, is a different matter. Quite a few of the Sandinista commanders are avowedly Marxist, trained in Cuba." Add to this mix a litany of allegations of human rights violations from "Liberation Theology" priests and others d rely on friendly ganizations in the U.S. to ceplay these to Congress and to the U.S. human rights lobby, which routinely accepts nothing but perfection from right-of-center governments but ignores human rights violations by others. Stir in a layer of the State department "establishment" which seems to believe that the United States must cast off the mantle of world leadership as quickly as possible. Sprinkle with romantic idealism about finding a " d e m o c r a t i c p o l i t i c a l solution." After all, plenty of non-Marxists in Nicaragua have wanted Somoza's rule to end. As has happened in other countries in the grips of armed insurrection, the non-Marxist groups have temporarily made common cause with the Marxist guerrillas. Riding a tiger without being consumed by him is a hard thing to do. Nevertheless, the United States appears to have spon taneously translated all this into a naive belief that a democratic government would emerge and prevail after Somoza. Toward this end, our government has arm-twisted the Nicaraguan government as much as it could in recent months to force Somoza to step down. We cut off military aid and sales, tried to stop In ternational Monetary fund draws by Nicaragua and ignored evidence that Panama was smuggling U.S.-made arms to the Sandinistas. Spice up the recipe with several pinches of interference in Nicaraguan affairs by Costa Rica and Panama, then glaze with a set of O.A.S. resolutions denouncing the Somoza government. Bake all of this, first at moderate temperatures, then at high heat and - presto - you have the Central American Destabilization Souffle! We can only guess what the governments of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala are thinking these days. ' Perhaps it is something along these lines, "With friends like Uncle , Sam, who needs enemies?" He who loves praise, loves temptation. -Thomas Wilson.
