Dear Everyone:

Re: The headline: "Clinton Focuses on Disabled Access," From NY
Times, September 22, 2000, By MARC LACEY, referred to in a
previous posting.

Way to go, New York Times! What a great oxymoron!  If something
is disabled, by definition, it does not have access and is not
accessible;  it's dead, an inoperable object. ... And we wonder
why our advocacy does not succeed as it should.

By saying it right, positively, the New York Times would even
have saved space: 2 characters of type!

"Clinton Focuses on Accessibility"

Positive sells.  Positive Wins.  Every Time.

With a letter to the editor in progress,
