SEP Campers and the Measles
All those planning to send children to SEP camps this summer
should be informed that there is a measles outbreak in the city
of Corpus Christi, Texas. Last year's measles epidemic at Orr,
Minnesota began when one child with a fever entered a busload of
campers. This year we"would like to enforce extreme caution.
Please do not send any child on a bus or plane if he or she has
any indI"cationofarever or illness. Any child who must cancel
due to illness will be guaranteed acceptance next year. Thank
you in advance for your cooperation.

airing on Los Angeles station KHJ brought in about 300 calls, which is among
the highest responses ever from that station. The morning airing on New
York station WOR (11:30 a.m. ET) also produced about 300 calls.
Hundreds of callers commented about this program. The overwhelming majori

troversial topics.
Only four people disagreed with what Mr. Armstrong
said. Following are a few comments from those who called in:
I would say that Mr. Armstrong showed the greatest understanding
and exactness of thought I have ever heard. He has incredible
knowledge and continuity. If a person with any sense at all
