Compassion for Cheney as Victim Heads Home

February 18, 2006
The New York Times
By RICK LYMAN

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., Feb. 17 — Declaring that "accidents do and will happen,"

the 78-year-old man who was shot by Vice President Dick Cheney

at a weekend quail hunt emerged from the hospital here Friday looking tanned, cheery, robust and speckled with bruises.

The patient, Harry M. Whittington, an Austin lawyer and well-known figure in the state's Republican Party, thanked his doctors, praised the news media and expressed sorrow that the whole incident had become such a political flashpoint for the vice president.

"This past weekend encompassed all of us in a cloud of misfortune and sadness that is not easy to explain, especially to those who are not familiar with the great sport of quail hunting," Mr. Whittington said.

"My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week," he added.

Dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and gold tie, with only a few scratches and purplish blotches visible above his crisp collar, Mr. Whittington walked out of the hospital and spoke for slightly more than three minutes, taking no questions.

He neither recounted what happened late last Saturday afternoon on the Armstrong Ranch, in Kenedy County to the south, nor revealed any new details about the shooting. Instead, he insisted — as the vice president and others in the hunting party have, and as the local county sheriff has since ruled — that it had simply been an accident.

"We all assume certain risks in whatever we do, whatever activities we pursue, and regardless of how experienced, careful and dedicated we are,"

Mr. Whittington said, "accidents do and will happen, and that's what happened."

TV violence does make your child aggressive

Daily Mail
JENNY HOPE

Parents should keep violent or sexually-explicit films and computer games locked away from their children, just as they would prescription drugs or bleach, doctors warn.

The call came after research confirmed watching screen violence can have a 'substantial' effect on youngsters, making them more likely to become aggressive or fearful.

Experts said allowing a child to see images intended for adults could be regarded as 'emotional maltreatment'.

They suggested parents keep such films and games out of reach of the under-11s,

just as they would other dangerous items, and be aware of what their children are watching on television.

Straw: We did know of Africa coup

The British government knew about the alleged plot to overthrow the President of Equatorial Guinea at least five weeks before a group of mercenaries was arrested in March for planning the coup.

In a dramatic admission, the Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, confirmed that the government had been 'informed' of the alleged coup plot 'in late January 2004'. On 7 March a group of mercenaries, led by an Old Etonian and former SAS officer, Simon Mann, was arrested in Zimbabwe. They were charged with plotting a putsch.

Straw's disclosure is the latest twist in a remarkable tale that has dragged in several high-profile figures. In August, Sir Mark Thatcher, the son of the former British Prime Minister, was arrested in South Africa after being accused of helping to finance the coup to remove President Obiang. He faces criminal charges that he broke the country's anti-mercenary laws. Thatcher denies any knowledge or involvement in the plot.

Chimps have language. They can, and do, communicate with humans. There is a linguist chimp called Nim Chimpsky with a vocabulary of 125 signs, all used correctly. Chimps can solve problems, use tools and when they lose their teeth, even improvise a makeshift food blender. Two observers have now claimed to see chimps in the wild leaving each other "notes". Separate groups of chimpanzees have different ways of doing things, and pass these ways on through the generations: that is, chimpanzees have culture, just as humans have culture.

'What goes on television does have an impact on children's view of violence,' Clarke said.

'The main argument I want to challenge, about which there is too much acceptance,

is that violence on television has no effect on children. I think it does have an effect on children.
