The Phyllis Schlafly Report 29, No. 12, p3, July 1996, available from P. O. Box 618, Alton, IL 62002, reports that "in Cecil County, Maryland, basketball is now played by some very unusual rules. If one basketball team is ten points ahead of the other, additional baskets don't count until the underdog team catches up. No record is kept of who scores how many baskets, so no player can ever be recognized as the star of the team.
"This system should be called Outcome-Based Basketball because it's just like the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) that has spread through our public schools like a contagious disease.''
The Shield13, No. 3, pp 1-2, May/June 1996 available from High Frontier, 2800 Shirlington Road, Suite 405, Arlington, VA 22206, reports that the Clinton-Gore Administration has cut the missile defense budget by 60% and completely stopped those programs that provide a realistic potential for deployment of a missile defense. Moreover, they have even refused to release those funds already appropriated for 1996.
By gutting this research program and preventing programs for testing and deployment, this Administration is assuring that America will remain entirely vulnerable to nuclear, biological, or chemical warhead missile attack from even the smallest third-world dictators who may be able to afford only one missile.
"Poisons for Peace'' in The Wall Street Journal, p A18, Septem-ber 9, 1996 reports that the Chemical Weapons Treaty now being entered into by the Clinton-Gore Administration gives all signatories access to all of America's latest chemical technology. It prevents the signatories from keeping chemicals, information, or equipment from one another. In other words, sign the treaty and you get complete access to everything required to build the latest chemical weapons. Compliance is, of course, unverifiable, since small scale chemical production is trivial to conceal.
Moreover, the treaty also prohibits the use of non-lethal chemicals. This could place the military in the position where it would be forced to shoot people because it is not allowed to use tear gas.
