DR. RUDOLF FLESCH, 75, AUTHORITY ON LITERACY
By ERIC PACE
Published: October 7, 1986
Dr. Rudolf Flesch, the authority on literacy and clear writing who wrote ''Why Johnny Can't Read,'' died at Dobbs Ferry (N.Y.) Hospital Sunday night of congestive heart failure. . He was 75 years old.
Dr. Flesch, who had suffered from coronary heart disease for several years, had lived in Dobbs Ferry 35 years and also had a summer house in Port Joli, a small town in eastern Nova Scotia.
Dr. Flesch and his writings, particularly his stress on short, uncomplicated sentences, had a decided impact on writers for magazines and newspapers.
In response to his call for shorter, terser introductory paragraphs and sentences, writers and editors found themselves counting words and compressing ideas into punchier terms.
'Poor Job of Teaching'
The method took hold but had its critics. The late Lester Markel, former Sunday editor of The New York Times, once cautioned against the short and snappy sentences Dr. Flesch advocated, contending that they cost something in loss of perspective and clarity.
Over the years in interviews and letters to editors, Dr. Flesch continued to lament the state of literacy, contending it was on its way down. Dr. Flesch contended that illiteracy and near-illiteracy were widespread in the United States because, as he wrote last year in The Times, ''our schools do a poor job of teaching reading.''
He propounded the view that the method used by most of the country's schools - teaching children the meaning of whole words rather than teaching them the sounds of letters - was ''extremely inefficient.'' He advocated teaching reading by phonics - that is, by teaching the sounds of letters. Shift About 1930
''All alphabetic languages except English are taught this way,'' he observed in The Times. ''Why do we do it differently?''
About 1930, as he put it, ''our schools switched from teaching reading to teaching word-guessing, using the so-called look-and-say method rather than systematic phonics.''
''Our 60 million illiterates are the victims of our own educational establishment,'' he added.
Earlier in his career, Dr. Flesch was largely known for urging the writing of what he called ''readable'' English -writing in a style that is easy to comprehend and savor. He set out that view in his first book, ''The Art of Plain Talk,'' in 1946, and in other works. Ph.D. in Library Science
Rudolf Franz Flesch was born May 8, 1911, in Vienna, the son of Hugo Flesch and the former Helene Basch.
He earned a doctorate in law from the University of Vienna in 1933 and, after coming here in 1938, earned a Ph.D. in library science from Columbia University in 1943. He became a United States citizen in 1944.
Dr. Flesch became a freelance writer, lecturer and editorial consultant shortly after World War II, including consultant to The Associated Press.
Among his targets were ''Federalese,'' the language of bureacrats, and ''gobbledygook,'' a description of meaninglessness.
Tests on Government material, he said, furnished ''objective evidence that the mass of Government writing is incomprehensible not only to the average American, with his eighth-grade education, but also to the better-educated Government employee.''

Statement on the Resignation of Anthony J. Principi as Secretary of Veterans Affairs
December 8, 2004
As a valuable member of my Cabinet, Tony Principi has served as a tireless advocate for 25 million veterans. He has insisted on results, and he has gotten results. Under Tony's leadership, we have honored our veterans for their service and sacrifice by increasing and improving health care services, working to eliminate the waiting list for medical care, and cutting the disability claims backlog. I appreciate his efforts to improve access to health care for low-income veterans and those with service-related disabilities. As we fight the war on terror, Tony has played a vital role in helping to streamline the transition from military to civilian status for our newest veterans.
I thank Tony for serving our veterans and our country with integrity and dignity. He is a good man and a good friend. I am grateful to Tony, Liz, and the entire Principi family.

MRS. BUSH: Thank you very much, Governor. Thank you, Governor, and thanks for the great job you're doing for California. We all -- everyone in the United States loves looking out here and watching you and watching what a great job you're doing. Thanks a lot. (Applause.)
Well, I'm just going to make this a very short introduction, but I'm going to be campaigning for my husband until November 2nd, and I decided I really had my work cut out for me. When we were in Hawaii last fall, and we were welcomed to a school that we were visiting by a little 2nd-grader who bellowed out, George Washington! (Laughter.) He was close, just the wrong George W. (Laughter.)
I've had a really wonderful time watching my husband over the last four years. I've seen him as he's met people around the United States. I've watched as he's helped a family build their own home, their first home, a Habitat home. I've watched him with the men and women of our United States military at bases all over the world. (Applause.) And I've watched, and I know how he treats every person he meets with dignity and respect. I'm so proud of him, and I know how challenging these times are and how well he's met the challenges that we've faced in these last few years in our country.
And I also know that these times require a particularly strong and determined leader. And I'm glad that my husband is that kind of leader.

Plot Summary
The Jeffersons are the ideal picture-perfect all-American family of the McCarthy era, except that "son John" is gay, an atheist, and a liberal. The parents obviously suspect he's a Communist spy.

Bush back on track after DUI flap
By Peter Nicholas
Knight Ridder Newspapers
Published: Sunday, Nov. 5 2000 12:00 a.m. MST
PHILADELPHIA — The Bush campaign's 757 was grounded briefly in St. Louis as mechanics fixed one of the plane's eight brakes. "There's no stopping us now," joked Bush's communications director, Karen Hughes.
In the span of a few hours, the campaign would snag on something far more serious: Thursday's disclosure of a drunken-driving conviction in Bush's past.
By Saturday, the campaign was back on track. Bush aides believed they had patched the problem quickly and neutralized the damage by aggressively raising questions about Democratic "dirty tricks."
