IT IS A LITTLE-KNOWN fact that one of the most important racial barriers in U.S. history was broken during the presidential election of 2000. When Ezola Foster ran for vice president of the United States on the Reform Party ticket, she became not only the first African-American candidate but also only the second female to do so for a major political party in this nation. Yet, the praise she should have received from our citizens never came, and the recognition she deserves has not been realized.

'Dawg days return
How sweet it is! University of Georgia's 26-13 Sugar Bowl victory over Florida State caps the best season in 20 years and stamps Mark Richt as among the elites of college coaches.

Those assisted should be investigated
I believe people on Medicaid and food stamps should be more thoroughly investigated. I am surrounded by unmarried mothers with two or three children, living with the children's fathers. These men work every day, and the couple live as husband and wife, but somehow - because they choose not to marry and give false information about their living arrangements - they are given money, food stamps, health care and everything.Yvonne Baughman, Warrenville, S.C.

NCAA may pass Georgia by if state flag becomes an issue
Southerners love to go to ball games and cheer for the home team. They especially love college football games that test young men's skills and endurance. The one thing that is instilled in many of these players is good-sportsman-like conduct toward the opposing team.Calvin E. Johnson Jr., Kennesaw, Ga.

Will Burk back off if a woman becomes member?
Something has really been bothering me about the situation between Martha Burk and the Augusta National Golf Club. No, it's not Ms. Burk's insistence to force a private club to let a woman be a member, although I am against her position on that. Steve Brock, Aiken, S.C.

World's No. 1 priority
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf admits being one step away from using nuclear weapons against India in 2002.

Amnesia in Korea

The highest sacrifice
God knows how many poor and ailing souls were helped by Dr. Martha C. Myers, Dr. William E. Koehn and Kathleen A. Gariety.

Save Chitlin Strut
If you think Augusta's First Friday had problems, then you ought to see the Chitlin Strut conundrum that Salley, S.C., is facing. The pig-innards festival was launched 37 years ago as a way for the small town to raise money to pay for Christmas decorations.

N. Korea justified in nuclear arms
What is the real source of the recent problems with North Korea and their nuclear proliferation? We might remember roughly nine years ago the same general scenario occurred when the United States and South Korea entered into serious negotiations with North Korea. Thomas D. Kohli, Augusta

Burk should lobby to change private clubs
Just a short while back the National Council of Women's Organizations Chairwoman Martha Burk admitted in a televised interview that, legally, the Augusta National Golf Club could remain privately male but, morally, should admit a woman. Now I ask you, what is morally wrong to have all-male or female private clubs? Douglas Neal Sr., Augusta

CSRA Girl Scout program carries on spirit of its building
On Dec. 11 I attended a rededication service at the Service Center of the Girl Scouts, Central Savannah River Council. The council was celebrating over 10 years occupancy of the former convent of Sacred Heart. Melissa Gayle, Augusta

Jackson only cares about himself
The so-called "Reverend" Jesse Jackson (he may have been ordained, but if he's a reverend, then our dog is a cat) states that he will return to Augusta during the Masters tournament to protest because women are not members of the Augusta National Golf Club.Rick and Della Sykes, Augusta

Equality for women is large issue
Why, when you hear the comment "those rich women, who can afford $50,000 to play as members of a golf club like the Augusta National," don't you hear the same remark about men? Is it because men are entitled to be rich because they earned it, and women aren't because it's unlikely they earned it? A common misconception. Yvonne Johnston Hallman, Aiken, S.C.

Wayt: Birch Society opposed to socialism
IT IS A LITTLE-KNOWN fact that one of the most important racial barriers in U.S. history was broken during the presidential election of 2000. When Ezola Foster ran for vice president of the United States on the Reform Party ticket, she became not only the first African-American candidate but also only the second female to do so for a major political party in this nation. Yet, the praise she should have received from our citizens never came, and the recognition she deserves has not been realized.

Augustans should consider the needs of the homeless
Thanks to Tom Corwin for writing the Dec. 25 story, "Flooding from storm moves meal for needy." It concerned the Christmas Eve flooding at the Masters Soup Kitchen on Fenwick Street. Linda Kitchens, Hephzibah, Ga.

Keystone Commandos
These Islamic terrorists are idiots. Absolute, certifiable idiots.
