PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, SEPTEMBER 7, 1984
what was being unveiled to me that I bumped my coffee cup and it
spilled over and demolished the book. All the pages stuck to
gether and the book with its information became sealed again!
J.S. (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
There was an accidental destruction of The PLAIN TRUTH you sent
to me earlier. I picked up the mail, put it in my back pocket and
decided to give our goats some water before going into the house.
The mail fell out of my pocket and before I realized it, the youn
gest goat was having a meal of The PLAIN TRUTH. It was shredded
and all that was left were a few pages. Therefore, could you
please send another April issue of the magazine?
G.S. (Berkeley, Ontario, Canada)
Thank you for replacing my PLAIN TRUTH. I will read it to the
puppy from now on, never letting him take matters into his own
paws again.
Mrs. D.M. (Orofino, ID)
I would like to know if I can obtain another copy of the January,
198� issue of The PLAIN TRUTH as my four-year-old boy cut most of
the pictures out and it is now unreadable.
T.R. (Ionia, MI)
Will you please send me another copy of THE UNITED STATES AND
BRITAIN IN PROPHECY. My neighbor saw it on my bookshelf and took
it home to read. That was a month ago. She called the other day
trying to buy the book because she was so interested in what she
read and underlined almost every word. I said the book was not
for sale but before I could say that she could have it, she blunt
ly said, "Well if I can't buy it, I'm just going to keep it any
way," and hung up!

HONECKER FORCED TO SCRUB TRIP1 STRAUSS IN ALBANIA1
OTHER KEY ELECTIONS1 MORE ON THE "TEMPLE PLOT"
Bowing to severe and unremitting pressure from Moscow, East German Commu
nist Party boss Erich Honecker has cancelled his plans to visit West Ger
many in late September.
This latest development deflates the hopes of
those in both Western and Eastern Europe that the cautious rapproachment
between East and West Germany could provide a partial thaw in the otherwise
chilly "Cold War II." For now, Moscow has made its point that, during the
current crisis, the satellites must follow its path into the deep freeze.
The turn of events could damage Herr Honecker's carefully contrived image
as a strong leader among his own people. As it stands now, most East Ger
mans will believe, despite official propaganda blaming West Germany for the
breakdown, that Mr. Honecker has been winched back into line by "Big
Brother." Mr. Honecker's problem is that his countrymen will get the whole
story of what happened over West German TV, which nearly all of them view.
