No Place For Bullying
from page 21
less of the source. We all have the
right to live free of intimidation.
If we have legitimate differences
of opinion with another person
regarding religion, politics or
other areas in which debate may
be valid, that calls for thoughtful
discussion and mutual respect.
I call upon parents, educators,
clergy and all others who work
with youth to join us in a zero-
tolerance policy for bullying in
all its forms, including cyber
bullying.
Not only will this save young
lives from being needlessly
thrown away, it also will ensure a
safer and healthier environment
for all our children.

Answering
Israel's Critics
Apartment homes that simplify life.
Neighbors who enrich it.
The Charge
A Turkish organization that
Israel says has links to ter-
rorism, the I.H.H., charged
that Israeli Prime Minister
Netanyahu this month praised
his soldiers for killing innocent
and defenseless people.
The Answer
Netanyahu lauded his sailors as
ethical and restrained in their
response to violence perpe-
trated by provocateurs aboard
the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara
last May.
For Al and Evelyn, really living means pursuing their passion for the
theater, not letting financial worries steal the show. Their beautiful
apartment home is completely free from maintenance. So instead
of budgeting for the next costly repair or sky-high utility bill, the
Jacobs enjoy stable, predictable expenses and a worry-free way of
life. Thanks to Erickson Living?AI and Evelyn leave the drama on
stage—exactly where it belongs.
