She wasn't born with
these distinctive markings.
They were man made.
By a man who burned her face and back with lit
cigarettes, then threw her into the air, letting her fall
to the ground until she bled from the nose and mouth.
A man who did it all for the pleasure of hearing
her screams of pain.
We know its a hard story to read. Its a hard story
to tell. Abuse cases always are. In this case, the abuse
of a defenseless eight week old kitten named Grade.
And as long as cases of such inconceivable cruelty
exist, the Michigan Humane Society (MHS) will be
there to combat them through animal rescue, cruelty
investigation and prosecution.
But waging this kind of war against animal abuse
takes money. Lots of it. When you give to the MHS
during "Be Kind To Animals Week," or at any other
time, you're helping to stop tragic situations like
Gracie's from happening.
Your money helps the MHS continue its mission
to put an end to animal cruelty, to further the rights of
animals, and to take aggressive action against people
who wrong them.
It's contributions like yours that have already
helped Gracie. For the past three months she's been
under the care of the MHS veterinary staff at our down-
town shelter, and will soon be ready for adoption.
The man who abused her is being brought to trial
on three counts of animal cruelty. If convicted he
could be imprisoned for up to three months and/or
fined up to 1500.
So please give generously to
the Michigan Humane Society.
Your donation, no matter how
small, helps. And that help could
stop other people from leaving

T
he recent concern in
the Jewish community
over media coverage of
the Gaza Strip and the West
Bank generally centers on
blaring headlines and net-
work news.
But "slanted" journalism
and lack of objectivity also
creeps in with the subtle
misuse of language as
witnessed by three separate
stories recently in the New
York Times and the Toronto
Star.
The subtlety of the New
York Times article March 8
on the bus hijacking by PLO
terrorists attracted the atten-
tion of Maurice Kelman,
Wayne State University law
professor. He noticed that
reporter John Kifner, in
describing the terrorists, used
the words "guerrilla" and "at-
tackers," and in a letter to the
editor Kelman asked why "is
the Times so reluctant to use
the T word even in the text-
book case of terroristoutrage
against peaceable civilians?"
"Honest labeling is not to
be confused with advocacy
journalism" he wrote._ "It's
the gratuitous euphemism
that compromises objective
reporting. Should ter-
minological precision be
abandoned merely because it
might occasionally arouse
some sympathy for Israel?"
He received a reply from
Joseph Lelyveld, Times
foreign editor, who wrote that
Kelman's letter gives the
paper something to "think
about?' He added, "I'm sure
no one consciously avoided its
use on the occasion of the bus
attack."
Lelyveld added that the
Times is faced with a
"troublesome problem of con-
sistency here which we have
not solved."
But other statements in his
letter are troublesome
because they imply that a
conscious decision was made.
"I'm not sure I'd like to
subscribe to the cliche that
one man's terrorist is
another's freedom fighter but
the language in news reports
sometimes seems to bear it
out," Lelyveld wrote.
"Perhaps if we shied away
from the 'T word' on this oc-
casion we were troubled by
our lack of a consistent stan-
dard for its use?'
Thus, despite his own
denial, it appears that the
Times cannot bring itself
around to use the word "ter-
rorist" even when innocent
bus passengers are involved.
In another case, the Times
and the rest of the media took
New York Mayor Ed Koch to
task for his alleged charge
that any Jew who supports
Israel would be "crazy" to
vote for the Rev. Jesse
Jackson.
In a long letter to the
Times, the mayor pointed out
that his statement was
carefully edited. He wrote
that his full quote was that
"Jews and other supporters of
Israel would be crazy to vote
for Jesse Jackson?'
Even more important, he
rightly claimed the quote was
taken out of context because
he added:
"I went on to say that
blacks and those opposed to
apartheid would be just as
crazy to vote for George Bush
if he planned to continue the
current Administration's fail-
ed poicy of constructive
engagement with South
Africa!'
The Times is sufficiently
sophisticated to understand
the damage done by its
editing of Koch's remarks. In
full context, Koch's statement
is much less inflammatory.
In Toronto, the trade
publication Editor and
Publisher reported that a
furor was ignited when Exter-
nal Affairs Minister Joe
Clark was booed and hissed
after he criticized human
rights violations in the West
Bank and Gaza before the
Canada-Israel Committee.
