When Lake Superior State University issued its 34th annual edict on Words to be Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-use, Over- use and General Uselessness, environmental buzzwords were first to be composted. With even Wal-Mart, Dupont and every business that so much as screws in a compact fluorescent lightbulb or skimps on toilet paper in the employee restroom "going green," consumers feel like the boy in the Johnny Cash song who wants to be called Bill or George, anything but Sue. Grey or brown or fuchsia, please - anything but green! Other words and phrases nominated include "carbon footprint," "maverick," "first dude," "bailout," "icon," game-changer," "not so much,''"desperate search'" and "it's that time of year again. I've been keeping my own list, "not so much" for banishm...

Dr. Jynona Norwood lost 27 members of her family, including her mother at the Jonestown massacre. Norwood is spearheading the drive to memorialize the victims with survivors, former Mayor Elihu Harris, former Human Rights Commissioner Rev. Eugene Lumpkin, and NAACP President Dr. Amos Brown, to erect a memorial wall dedicated to the innocent people who lost their lives in Guyana. Although she was not a member of Jones' church, she had to kidnap/rescue her son and take him into hiding to save his life. Dr. Norwood says, "The survivors and surviving families of Jonestown have resolved, with the public's help, to erect the memorial. The monument will be placed in the Evergreen Cemetery in Oakland, Calif. where 406 bodies lay in a mass grave, mostly children. It will be in the spirit of thos...

As necessary as it is for [Jynona Norwood] and the survivors to look forward, Jonestown is a tragedy that has never stopped hurting since November 18, 1978, the day it happened. Norwood lost 27 of her closest relatives, including her beloved mother in Jonestown. [Jim Jones] himself offered Norwood, an aspiring evangelist at the time, a chance to work with him in California as the assistant youth pastor of his growing congregation and then go to Jonestown to help build a land Jones called Paradise. Norwood refused and eventually kidnapped her son and went into hiding to keep him away from Jones' lieutenants who insisted that her son and all of the children go to Jonestown. Norwood was scheduled to go to Jonestown with [Leo Ryan] to get her family out but missed the flight by one day. Nor...

Question: A classic TV series was named "Combat" and was made in the '60s. The main character was Sgt. Saunders, played by Vic Morrow. We would very much like to know if it is on DVD. Answer: The series, which originally aired from 1962 to 1967 on ABC, is very fondly remembered. The entire series has been released on DVD, in several sets consisting of part of each season, some "best-of" packages and a complete-series box.

Four men, including a past airport employee and a former member of the Guyanese Parliament, have been accused of conspiring to attack John F. Kennedy International Airport by blowing up the airport's jet fuel supply tanks and pipeline. The suspects had targeted the Buckeye Pipeline, which runs from Linden to JFK, officials said Saturday. They also said the men had reached out to Muslim extremists in the United States, Guyana, and Trinidad for support. The plot never got past planning stages and did not pose any threat to the public, but the suspects' intention was to cause a tragedy rivaling Sept. 11, authorities said Saturday.
Kerry supporters wanting to avoid the headache and low-grade nausea of the Republican National Convention theater of the absurd could grab a good book.
