Mr. Clemens, a pitcher for the New York Yankees, hurled the Jagged barrel of • bar toward Mets batter Mike Piazza. Despite this outrageous overreaction to a misperceived slight (the largest chunk of the broken bat ended up near the pitcher's mound through no fault of Mr. Piazza's), Mr. Clemens was aUowed to remain in the game. He later was fined a reported $50,000 - a pittance for such a highly paid athlete, and a penalty that well could be reduced, or covered by his team. Clemens sho11ld have been thrown out of the game. And although the disciplinary official with the commissioner's office said "intent is always. difficult to establish," the act speaks for itself. ... Roger Clemens deserves a serious punishment for his serious offense. • Amarillo (Texas) Globe-News, on Amrrical military cannot be shortchatzged: Republican vice presidential candidate Dick Cheney stuck with GOP tradition during a speech Wednesday in Roswell, N.M., asking a vital question that has been transformed into many forms since first being uttered by former President Ronald Reagan. Cheney asked a crowd .of 2,000 people if the U.S. military is bet• ter off today than eight years ago. He answered his own question, replying: "You know it is not." Cheney should know. He is the former secretary of defense under President George Bush and helped lead U.S. forces in Desert Storm. The readiness of the U.S. military should be of the utmost importance to Republican presidential candidate George W Bush and Democranc candidate AI Gore, especially now considering the volatile situation in the Middle East. Voters in the Panhandle also should consider each candidate's priority on the military.... Bush supports an increase in military spending by $20 billion over five years, including additional research for a national missile defense system. Gore favors continuing the curr~nt increases in military spending that fail to meet current needs. Much like President Clinton, Gore has not enthusiasticaUy supported a national missile defense system .... The U.S. military is the strongest, best-trained and well-eq'u ipped 'military force in the world. In order to maintain this standard, the courageous men and wom·en who risk their lives for their country deserve adequate pay, strong leadership and a financial commitment from aJI administration that recognizes the price of freedom. TODAY IN HISTORY first woman elected to Congress. In 1929, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City opened to the public. In 1940, the middle section of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in · Washington state collapsed during a windstorm. In 1944, President Franklin Roosevelt. won an unprecedented fourth term in office, defeating Thomas E. Dewey. · In 1962, Richard M . Nixon, having lost Califorrua's gubernatorial race, held what he called his "last press conference," telling reporters, "You won't have Nixon to . kick around anymore." In 1972, President Nixon was re-elected in a landslide over Democrat George McGovern. In 1973. Co ngress overrode President Nixon's veto of the War Powers Act, which limits a chief executive's power to wage war without congressional approval. . In 1980, actor Steve M cQueen died in Juarez, Mexico, at age 50. In 1989, L. Douglas Wilder won the governor's race in Virginia, beconiing the first elected black governor in U.S. history; David N. Dinkins was elected New York City's first black mayor. Ten years ago: In some of her strongest remarks during the Persian Gulf crisis, British Prime Minister M argaret Thatcher warned Iraqi President Saddam Hussein that time was "running our" for a peaceful solution . Five years ago: In a Japanese courtroom, three American military men admitted to the ambush-rape of a 12-year-old Okinawan schoolgirl. an attack th at outraged the Japanese and st111ined security ties between Japan and the U.S. (The men 'later received prison sentences ranging from six and a half to seven years.)

If he knew abot.tt it and brought the subject up, that wquld be another matter, but apparently he. does not know, and there is no reason for you to· tell him . When you see your "former fling." make no reference to haVing m!i!t hint One Vote by Helen Virden Holiday program planned PERKINS' VIEW Don't put faith in polls Charlatans. Thats what they are, the men and ·.vomen who produce the daily presidential tracking polls. Some border on junk science, such as the daily tracking poll the GaUup organization produces for CNN and USA Today. Other.; are just plain biased, such as the daily poll John Zogby produces for left-leaning Reuter.; and NBC. Either way, they are, with a few notable excep. tions (including the Rassmussen · and Battleground polls), not to be trusted. Indeed, consider the wild swing in CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll this week. On Monday, the poll indicated that George W. Bush was leading AI Gore by 9 percentage points, 50 to 41. By Wednesday, Gore was up, supposedly, by 1 percent, 46 to 45. And by Thursday, Bush had regained the lead 48 to 43. Given such volatility, one would expect that something major happened in either the Bush' or Gore campaign. But neither candidate has had an exceptional week, good or bad. · It is dear co all, save for maybe CNN and USA Today, "that the GaDup Poll is fundamentaUy flawed. In fact, while Gallup is considered the granddaddy of polls, it is a novice when it comes to daily ttacking. The most obvious defect with Gallup is its polling sample. The fact is, the electorate is split fairly evenly between Democrats and Republicans, with independents, et al. accounting for roughly 20 percent to 30 percent of voter.;. Yet, GaUup's ttacking poll swing; wildly day to day in terms of the percentage of Democrats and Republicans included in its samples. For instance, GaUup's three-day rolling sample, Oct. 2-0ct. 4, was broken down into 37 percent Democrat, 33 percent independent and only 30 percent Republican. The result: Gore up by 11 pen:ent. Conver.;ely, the pollster's three-day sample, Oct. 6-0ct. 8, was broken down into 37 percent Republican, 32 percent Democrat, 30 percent independent. The result: Bush up by B per- they're slanted, too Joseph PerKins NEA COLUMNIST cent. So in the space of three days, GaD up showed · a 19-point swing in the polls. And it was . aU attributable to its faulty methodology. The only GaUup ttacking poll< that have any credibility are the few that happen to sample a comparable number of Democrats and Republicans. Those balanced polls have shown Bush with a steady 3- to S.point edge over Gore over the past month. The Reuter.;/MSNBC poll has not swung nearly as wildly as GaUup. But it is no more credible, because the poll's director,John Zogby, incorporates an anti-Republican bias into his results. Unlike GaUup, Zogby controls his daily sample to keep the breakdown of Democrats and Republicans constant. The problem is he builds in a 2-point to 3-point advantage for Democ- rats. He claims that his breakdown is based on results of presidential elections past, which show Democrats with such an edge on Republicans. However, if Democrats truly enjoy a 2-point to 3-point advantage over Republicans nationwide, how does Zogby explain Republican majorities in both houses of Congress and in the governors' mansions? Then there's the J;llatter of how Zogby weights his raw polling figures. Thurs.day on the MSNBC Web site Zogby ,. Thursday claimed that Gore is leadin!\ l:lush by double digits in the West.Yet, an d.ectoral 1mp accompanying the Zogby's three-day tracking poll shows Bush leading in all but one Western state - California - with Washington and Oregon too close to caD. So for Gore to offiet the lead that llush enjoys throughout much of the West and to have the double-digit lead in the region tlut Zogby attributes to him, Gore would have to have a 25-point lead in the Golden State. And the latest polls in Cilifornia ·show Gore with a lead of 5 points to 7 points. So obvioll<ly Zogby is cooking his raw polling numbers In make Gore appear stronger out West than he really is. But why would the- pollster do that' Because, like most of the pollsters trackin~ this year's presidential election on behalf of the major news organizations (Reuters/NBC News, CNN/USA Today, Washington Post/ AllC News, New York Times/C BS News), Zogby is partial to the Denu >er.1nc Party. Of course, Zogby ancl his fellow pollst<'l'' insist that. no tnatter 'their party regl..,tr.lfion, no matter their personal politi cal ph ilusophy. thl') are objective pollsters. But the fact is, their political biases creep IIllO their polls in much the same way th.1t the !" ,Jil - ical biases of print reporters and network ~o r n:­ spondents creep into th eir Covtr;tgL· of the prc..,idential campaign. ' The American public recogJtized a long tirn e ago that the national media tend to slant toward the Democratic party (consider the presick-utial endorsements of the New York Times. the Washington Post and the Los Angcks Times). But not until this election ye:1r lldw thc·y sUniMtTrib.com.) KILPATRICK'S VIEW He, she, and all of today's grammatical clutter Sevetal years ago, a top-ranking New York judge proposed a code of civility for trial lawyer.;. A veteran divon:e lawyer objected. He felt he had a right to be rude if it served his client's cause. He said: "No lawyer's advocacy should ever be held against him or her. In almost 40 years of practice, I have never heard a client complain thar his or her lawyer was rudec' Him or her! His or her! What clutter! Chris Matthews of the San Francisco Examiner fell into this plum pudding construction last year. He suggested that instead of voting on impeachment, the Senate should vote on a simpie question: Did the president cover up .;,;_ dence of his misconduct? Said Matthews: "If a senator can't ·answer that question competently, perhaps .he or sfle should caD Vernon Jordan about that enll)'-level job at Revlon ." Matthews plunged on: "If a senator can answer the question, however, it would be very helpful for the republic for he or she to do so." Aaargh! Double aaargh!

IJ and one wnte-in for Jeffrey Peters. Fifty miles to the north, in Dixville Notch, the vote was Bush 21, Gore 5, and Nader had one. The tradition of having everyone vote at midnight and closing the polls a few minutes later began in Hut's Location in 1948, when nearly everyone worked for the railroad and had to be at work before the polls opened. After letting th<" tradition languish there, Hart's Location revived it in 1996. · Dixville began voting early in 1960. Both towns get a lot of attention from reporters and others. But neither is known for foreshadowing the winnas statewid..-.

Boy's father passes test · SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -The father of a 2-year-old boy who froze to death in a Utah forest passed a lie-detector test in which he denied intentionally leaving the toddler to die, investigators said. Paul Wayment left his son, Gage, alone in his pickup Oct. 26 while , he scouted a private hunting area in northeastern Utah. When Wayment returned to his truck 40 minutes to an hour later, his son had vanished, he said. After four days of unsuccessful searches, James Wilkes, a volunteer rescuer, found Gage's body :on Oct. 31 under 2 to 4 inches of snow. Wilkes said he carried the body for at least two hours before becoming exhausted and leaving it behind.The body was recovered the next day. · During the polygraph, Wayment denied doing anything to cause the death of the boy and having any association with Wilkes. The test indicated Wayment was truthful, Summit County Sheriff's Lt. · Joe Olfret said. Officers were expected to forward the results of their investigation to the Summit County attorney's office, and prosecutors will decide whether any charges wiU be filed . LOS ANGELES (AP)- Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has been quietly offering free replacements for thousands of tires in a practice known as a "silent recall,;' the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday. Goodyear acknowledged last month that tre.Id separation involving Its 16-inch Load Range E light-truck tires has been linked to 120 injuries and 15 deaths. Company officials have said a recall wasn't necessary because it found no defects in the tires. The Times. cittng unidentified sources, said Goodyear has received more than 3,000 claims since 1995 about its light-truck tires. Most uf those claims have been settled, with consumers receivIng replacement tires and reimbursements for vehicle damage. Goodyear denied conducting a silent recall and claims it is providing "customer satisfaction" replacements on a case-by-case basis, the newspaper reported. Safety advocates and lawyers believe the Akmn, Ohio-based tire maker is placing thousands of drivers and passengers at mk by not declaring a full public recall, the newspaper said. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration said Monday it was expanding its inquiry into the fatal accidents involving Goodyear's light-truck tires. In August, Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. voluntarily recalled 6.5 million ATX, ATX II and Wilderne55 AT tires, most of which were standa rd equipment on the Ford Explorer. The NHTSA is invc.stigating 3,500 complaints and 119 traffic deaths in connection with those tires. Missing girl finds family VENETA, Ore.

In his fourth year with the Lions, Ross compiled a 27-30 regular-season record and an 0-2 mark. from playoff appearances in 1997 and last season. He replaced Wayne Fontes, who was fired in December 1996. · The 63-year-old Ross, who did not atrend the news conference, submitted a lccte.r of resignation to owner William Clay Ford.

"But I don't think anybody saw this coming." Ross does not want to coach again, according to Moeller. The highlights of Ross' career . occurred before he came to Detroit in 1997. He led the San Diego Chargers to the 1995 Super Bowl, five years after toking Georgia Tech to the national championship. Moeller had a lot of success in five years at Michtgan before he was firt'd . He was 44-13-3, with three Big Ten titl~s a.>d four wins in New . Year's Day bowl g>mes.
