The Arrow Mailbag: A Prickly Cactus
Beautiful lakes, incredible scenery and unforgettable wildlife. The breathtaking Flathead Valley has a lot of aesthetic value to offer. But, like a brilliant cactus, the Valley has its prickles, as well. Within these mountain confines, problems are deeper than a few needles. At first glance, the Flathead seems an ideal place to live, but a closer look reveals the conservative religious attitudes that operate our small community. |

International Outlook: Russia needs a change
Last month, because of Russian President Boris Yeltsin’s illness, Russia found itself facing many controversies. Among these controversies, the most troubling question concerned whether Yeltsin should continue his term as President. Not only does his health affect Russia, but it also affects other countries as well. This question was touched on in November 1996, when the President received heart surgery. Now, when the Kremlin says that Yeltsin caught a cold, the question comes up again. It is a difficult problem to deal with because Russia does not have a candidate willing to run the presidency. I am sorry that Yelsin’s health prevents him from doing things to improve my country, and sorry that there is no one able to take over this position. |
