• John Crisp: The President Deserves a Vacation

Permit me to make an assertion, and then allow me to mention a few things that we already know, but which may require an occasional reminder. First, the assertion: President Barack Obama's current vacation in Martha's Vineyard is entirely justified, and the criticism that it has spawned largely from, but not limited to, the right is unwarranted.

Alternatives to violence can work I don't disagree with much John M. Crisp says in his Aug. 30 Viewpoint column "Mennonites have right to conviction," regarding the decision at Goshen College to play "America the Beautiful" rather than "The Star-Spangled Banner" at athletic events. But when he writes "I'm not sure . the principle of pacifism is entirely realistic," some vital historical evidence is ignored. He seems to imply that we should be respectful of Mennonites and others who choose alternatives to violence, but that we should not take alternatives to war and violence too seriously.

ARCADIA - Crisp, a 3-year-old daughter of El Corredor, outran the 1-2 favorite Blind Luck on Saturday at Santa Anita and punched her ticket to the Kentucky Oaks on April 30 at Churchill Downs in the process. Fitted with blinkers so she could race closer to the pace in a race trainer John Sadler felt was devoid of speed, Crisp rallied from second to overtake pacesetter All Due Respect by a neck and win the $250,000 Grade III Santa Anita Oaks for 3-year-old fillies.
