MEN :
THE UNTOLD TRUTH
REVEALED BY
DR. WARREN FARRELL
AUTHOR OF
WHY MEN ARE THE WAY THEY ARE
AND
THE LIBERATED MAN
DO YOU WONDER...
...Why men are so afraid of commitment?
...Why the women men are most attracted to the most difficult to get
along with?
...Why can't a man be a friend before a sex partner?
...If women are so liberated, why do they still want men to ask them
out, pay for dinner, take all the sexual initiatives, and call them in the
morning?

Robertson
court case
dismissed
WASHINGTON (AP) — A fed
eral judge on Monday dismissed
GOP presidential candidate Pat Rob
ertson’s $35 million libel suit against
a former congressman, who said the
court’s action unmasked Robertson
“as the fraud he is.”
Robertson, complaining he could
not campaign and pursue the suit at
the same time, had asked for the dis
missal. He called Monday’s action “a
real victory.”
U.S. District Judge Joyce Hens
Green formally ended the suit
against former Rep. Paul N. McGlos-
key Jr., R-Calif., who had questioned
Robertson’s Korean War record, af
ter Robertson agreed to pay court
costs.
Green signed a brief order dis
missing the case “with prejudice,”
which means that McCloskey is le
gally the victor in the dispute.
“This is a confirmation of my in
tegrity,” McCloskey said in a tele
phone interview from his home in
San Francisco.
“I don’t like at the age of 60 to be
called a pathological liar all over the
United States.
“He is admitting that he is the one
who is the liar.”
Robertson accepted the court-
costs condition in a one-sentence let
ter from his attorney, Douglas V.
Rigler, that was delivered to the
judge’s chambers by messenger.
But Robertson, in a campaign ap
pearance in Wichita Falls, said the
judge “gave me what I consider a
real victory.”
“She denied him any court costs
— any damages, I should say,” he
said. “He asked for $400,000. And I
'have the privilege of suing him once
the primary is over.”
However, in an opinion issued last
week, Green quoted — and under
lined — a passage from a 1985 fed
eral appeals court opinion that
stated: “Dismissal of an action with
prejudice is a complete adjudication
of the issues presented by the
pleadings and is a bar to further ac
tion between the parties.”
McCloskey’s attorney George
Lehner said he understood that this
citation means his client cannot be
sued again over any statements he
makes about Robertson’s war re
cord.
Under terms of the dismissal,
Robertson must pay court fees,
printing costs and court reporters’
fees, but not McCloskey’s,at/pi;ney’s
fees, estimated at $400,
If Robertson had rejected Green’s
dismissal, he would have had to go to
court on Tuesday to begin the trial,
which was expected to last about
three weeks.
Gore predicts
leading status
after primaries
HOUSTON (AP) — Tennessee
Sen. Albert Gore Jr. said Monday
two leaders would emerge from the
Democratic presidential field after
Super Tuesday balloting and he
would be one of them.
“Something’s happening out
there,” Gore said, wrapping up his
Texas campaign with an airport ap
pearance in Houston, his fifth visit
to the city in the past three weeks.
“The undecided vote is still large
but it is breaking our way,” Gore
said. “We are getting reports from
all over the Super Tuesday area and
all indicate exactly the same thing.
Our campaign has the momentum.”
Gore, who left Texas for more
last-day campaigning in Florida, said
his polls throughout the South show
him surpassing Massachusetts Gov.
Michael Dukakis and Missouri Rep.
Richard Gephardt and trailing only
the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
“We have gained more in the last
24 hours than any other candidate,”
he said. “If our people get to the
polls, we are going to pull off a ma
jor surprise to those people who
were beginning to think it was a two-
person race. It’s going to be a two-
person race all right, but they’re
going to have a different two candi
dates in mind.”
Gore, who won his first primary
Saturday in Wyoming, refused to
identify the candidate he saw as also
emerging as a front-runner after
Tuesday’s elections.
“I’m not going to pick the field,”
he said. “You’ll be able to see the pat
tern develop.”
Asked what would happen if he
finished fourth, he replied: “I refuse
to accept that. That’s not going to
happen. Write it down and check it
twice. We’re going to come out with
a very surprising victory.”
Gore characterized negative Ge
phardt advertising as “a sign of last-
minute desperation campaigning.”
He also described Dukakis as hav
ing a total lack of foreign policy ex
perience and said the Massachusetts
governor’s economic policy was
“based on a single gimmick.”
“That is the illusion that more tax
ollectors are (miner to solve the fiscal

Map Discussion: A large trough of low pressure in the Eastern Pacific bringingth« |
next Pacific cold front into the Rockies while a strong northerly jet stream pushes
an upper level low pressure center to North Central Texas. This helps induce a
frontal wave (low pressure) over Arkansas. Combined with moisture from the Gull]
this will produce precipitation from the lower Mississippi Valley northward to the
Great Lakes. Upslope flow and cooler tempertures behind the front will cause
snow in Eastern New Mexico and West Texas.
Forecast:
Today. Cloudy, and mild with gusty south winds in advance of the cold which will
pass Bryan-College Station during the afternoon hours. High 70. Winds becominj j
northerly after frontal passage. Chance of precipitation 30 percent.
Tonight. Continued mostly cloudy and cooler. Low 49 with a slight chance of
intermittent light rain. Winds north at eight to 14 mph.
Add
Wednesday. Mostly cloudy through mid-day and mild. High 63 with northeast
winds at 10 to 16 mph and a 20 percent chance of precipitation.
