FAMOUS TRIOS by Kathy Wolfe
You’ve probably heard it said that good things come in threes. This week, Tidbits checks out that phrase, offering info on some famous trios. • Singer/songwriter Ross Bagdasarian came up with an innovative idea in 1958 while experimenting with the speeds on a record player. He used his own voice recorded at half speed and played back at normal speed to create the Chipmunks – Simon, Theodore, and Alvin. Bagdasarian took on the stage name of David Seville, named for the city in Spain where he had been stationed during World War II. His blockbuster hit “The Chipmunk Song” (“Christmas, Don’t Be Late”) sold 4.5 million records in seven weeks, and paved the way for the CBS program, “The Alvin Show,” which premiered in 1961. The success of the Chipmunks continues to this day, carried on by Bagdasarian’s son, Ross, Jr. • Illustrator Vernon Grant created the cartoon mascots for Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, Snap! Crackle! and Pop! In the 1930s, Snap! was the first one created, and appeared on the box alone for six years. In English, we say, “Snap! Crackle! Pop!” but in German, the Rice Krispies mascots say, “Knisper! Knasper! Knusper!, while those in Finland say, “Riks! Raks! Poks!” The little fellows say, “Pif! Paf! turn Pof!” in the Netherlands. the page for more!

FAMOUS TRIOS (continued): • In 1968, rockabilly songwriter Dick Holler composed a tribute song to the memory of four assassinated American civil rights leaders. Entitled “Abraham, Martin, and John,” the song memorialized Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy, written shortly after King and Bobby Kennedy were killed. “Anybody here, seen my old friend Abraham…” is the first verse, followed by King and JFK. The fourth verse mentions Bobby walking over a hill with the other three. Recorded by Dion, the song rose to #4 on the Billboard pop chart. • You’ve no doubt heard of the Three Musketeers, but do you know their individual names? Alexandre Dumas’ 1844 novel tells of the adventures of three inseparable childhood friends, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Their well-known motto is “All for one and one for all!” First published in serial form in a Paris magazine from March to July, 1844, it takes place in the 1600s, and tells of the daring “swashbuckling” deeds of these members of The King’s Musketeers. Incidentally, the Mars candy bar of the same name made its debut in 1932. Mars’ advertising of the 1990s featured three men dressed as the legendary trio. • Do the names of Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar ring a bell? Although their names are not specifically mentioned in the Bible, these are the names attributed to the three Wise Men of the East, or Magi, who came to present gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to Jesus after his birth in Bethlehem. There is also no mention of the number of kings who made the trek from Persia, but because three gifts are referenced, tradition gave way to the assumption that there were three men. After presenting their gifts, the Magi were warned by an angel in a dream to return to their homeland.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My mom said not to tap on the side of the fish tank because it scares them. I’m not tapping very hard, so why would it bother them? -- Tanner in Dallas DEAR TANNER: Imagine this: Your room has a big glass wall, and strange, scary creatures come up to the glass all day long and stare at you. Imagine also that the wall has amplifiers in it so that every time someone knocks on the glass, the sound is so loud it puts a lot of pressure on your ears. If that happened to you several times a day, every day, you’d be pretty stressed out. Especially if it happens when you’re trying to sleep or rest. For fish, which tend to react badly when their environment changes, tank tappers
can really cause problems. Because they’re constantly being startled and scared, their immune systems weaken and they become vulnerable to diseases they can normally fight off. Some fish have been reported to try and escape from a tank they’re constantly being scared in by jumping out of it. That doesn’t usually work out well for the fish. The best way to enjoy an aquarium full of fish is to, well ... just watch them. Most fish will shy away if you approach the tank, but if you hold still, they will begin to swim past you and you’ll get a close look at them. If they’re holding still or not swimming fast, don’t tap the tank -- just let them be. Send your questions or pet tips to ask@ pawscorner.com. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

FAMOUS TRIOS (continued): • Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters, of course! This 1984 blockbuster film starred Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Bill Murray as New York City parapsychologists who establish a ghost-catching business. Recently fired from their positions at Columbia University, the three develop sophisticated equipment that can capture spirits, operating their business from an abandoned firehouse. Aykroyd had written a role for his pal John Belushi, but upon Belushi’s death, Bill Murray was hired. The giant monster, The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, was one of the film’s beasts. Three suits were made for the character, each costing $20,000. All were destroyed during the filming. Fifty gallons of shaving cream were used to simulate the marshmallow “goo.” The movie was #1 at the box office for five weeks, and went on to gross more than $295 million worldwide. • Premiering in 1976, “Charlie’s Angels” starred Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, and Kate Jackson. The crime action series chronicled the adventures of three police academy graduates who craved more excitement than working as a meter maid or crossing guard. Hired by Charlie Townsend as private investigators, the three worked alongside Townsend’s associate Bosley. Bosley acted as the primary go-between since the trio of ladies never laid eyes on their employer, and received their assignment over speakerphone. Actor John Forsythe was the voice behind the mysterious Charlie, who was occasionally seen from the back. Over the show’s five seasons, other Angels made their way into the cast – Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack, and Tanya Roberts.

Classical Records Q: We have a collection of 78-rpm and LP recordings, mostly classical. Could you provide me with the names of buyers? -- Janice, via e-mail A: I get questions about older recordings at least a dozen times each week, and my answer is always the same: Unless you have real rarities, there is little market for older recordings. I contacted used record dealers in Los Angeles, St. Louis, Dallas and New York, and I was told that it was difficult, if not impossible, to sell classical recordings in the secondary marketplace. You might consider donating your collection to a charity. Q: Can you recommend a good price guide for comics. My son has a collection of about 75 vintage issues, and I think we should investigate to see what the current values are. -- Susan, Springfield, Missouri A: There are three comic references I consult on a regular basis: “Golden Age Comics” by Alex G. Malloy and Stuart W. Wells III (Krause Books); “Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide” by Robert W. Overstreet (House of Collectibles); and “Comic Book Checklist and Price Guide” by Maggie Thompson, Brent Frankenhoff and Peter Bickford (Krause Books).

Although I realize most fruit jars are fairly common, this one could be an exception. It is a Globe jar and appears to be handcrafted. It has a deep olive color, and I’ve never seen one like it before. -- Susan, Waco, Texas A: According to my favorite fruit jar price guide, 1000 Fruit Jars by Bill Schroeder (Collector Books), your jar is extremely rare. In olive green, it is valued at $1,000; olive amber, $1,000 plus; and aqua-clear, $35 to $65. Q: I have some sterling flatware by Gorham in the Sovereign-Old pattern. Can you tell me when this pattern was introduced? -- Pat, Orchard Park, New York A: Your pattern was first offered in 1941. It is a handsome pattern and quite desirable. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com. Due to the

* In medieval France, if a married woman kissed or allowed herself to be kissed by a man other than her husband, she could be found guilty of adultery. * In the summer of 1100, King William II of England went for a hunt in the New Forest, bringing along, of course, an entourage of nobles. One of his attendants, Walter Tirel, had a good opportunity to target their quarry, and the king urged, “Shoot! Walter, in heaven’s name!” Tirel did, indeed, shoot, but the arrow evidently ricocheted off a tree and hit the king, killing him. * Early cars in the United States didn’t have steering wheels; they were maneuvered by using a control similar to a joystick. * Those who study such things say the sport of boxing originated with the ancient Greeks and dates back to at least 688 B.C. It looked somewhat different then, though; at that time there were no gloves and no boxing ring. In fact, the fighters weren’t even standing; they battled it out while sitting down facing each other. The fight continued until one participant was battered into unconsciousness. * All of today’s housecats are descended from one particular kind of Middle Eastern wildcat. * In what is now Minnesota, early European settlers came across a lake Native Americans had named argoggogomanchaugagochaubunagungamaug.” This daunting appellation is said to translate roughly as “You fish on that side, we’ll fish on this side, and nobody will fish in the middle.” *** Thought for the Day: “If what you are telling is true, you don’t have to choose your words so carefully.” -- Frank A.

FAMOUS TRIOS (continued): • In 1925, Ted Healy debuted a vaudeville act called “Ted Healy and His Southern Gentlemen,” featuring the three Horwitz brothers, Curly, Moe, and Shemp. Their slapstick, nonsensical comedy routine was a big hit, and they were contracted to make a film in 1932, Soup to Nuts. Shemp left the group shortly after, and a childhood friend of the boys, Larry Fine (Louis Feinberg), took his place. The trio separated from Healy and became known as The Three Stooges. Their popularity soared and MGM signed the trio to a movie contract in 1933. In 1946, Curly suffered a severe stroke and his brother Shemp returned to the group. Despite illness and old age, the beloved Stooges managed to keep their act together going into the 1980s, after having starred in more than 220 films. • The Bible’s Book of Daniel relates the story of three young Jewish men who defied their king to worship God. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego lived in Babylon and were officials of King Nebuchadnezzar. The King set up a 90-ft. (27.4 m) statue of gold and commanded all to bow down before it. Refusal would result in being thrown into a fiery furnace. The trio’s response was, “If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if He does not, we want you to know that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold.” The furnace was prepared, seven times hotter than normal. When Nebuchadnezzar looked in, he saw four figures, walking unharmed in the flames. Realizing that an angel had been sent to protect them, he released them, and they emerged without a single sign of a burn. The King then decreed that any who spoke against their God should be torn limb from limb.

Puzzle Answer on Page 8
UNUSUAL ANIMALS: MOLES How much do you know about moles? Tidbits has all the particulars on this small burrowing animal. • It’s highly likely you’ve never seen a mole. That’s because they live secluded lives in underground burrows, and only rarely do they come above ground. They are able to reuse the oxygen they inhale on their brief trips to the surface, enabling them to survive in the lower levels of oxygen of the underground. • The average mole’s body is only about 6 inches (15.2 cm) long, weighing between 2.5 and 4.5 ounces (2 to 128 grams). The width of the tunnels they excavate is only about 2 inches (5 cm) wide and 1.5 inches (4 cm) in height, yet these passageways can extend for more than 75 yards (70 m). • Moles’ legs are short, but powerful. They use their very broad front feet and huge curved claws as shovels to dig their tunnels. They are able to move backwards nearly as quickly as forward. The moles aren’t the only ones to use their tunnels. Other small mammals such as voles and mice move through them, feeding on any grains and seeds they find. • Moles are not social animals and they tend to avoid each other, except in breeding season. Every mole has its own tunnel system, which includes a special “larder” or underground storeroom to store food to eat later. Their primary diet is earthworms, which the mole paralyzes with a toxin found in its saliva. Researchers have discovered larders containing over a thousand paralyzed earthworms. Moles also dig special compartments at the end of their tunnels for bedrooms and birthing areas.

MOLES (continued): It takes a lot of energy to be constantly burrowing and the mole eats from 70% to 10% of its body weight every day. This translates to a 2.8-oz. (80 g) mole needing about 1.7 oz. (50 g) of earthworms every day. It can starve to death if it doesn’t eat every few hours. The star-nosed mole can detect, catch, and consume its food in less than one second! A mole’s fur is soft and velvety and is often highly valued. Baby moles are born without any fur, which starts growing at about two weeks. The little creatures grow quickly and leave the nest when they are 35 days old. Their eyes are very tiny and are covered with skin or fur. The moles aren’t completely blind, but they see very poorly. Since they live in the dark the majority of their lives, good eyesight isn’t a crucial thing. They are sensitive to changes in light and movement. They find their prey through scent sensors on the tip of their nose. They also have no external ears. Although moles often consume many insects and grubs that cause damage to lawns and gardens, they are generally perceived as pests, as their tunneling produces unsightly mounds of earth. Their burrowing can also damage the roots of plants underground. Damage to agricultural machinery can also result from the moles exposing rocks in a field, as well as damage to drainage systems and waterways. The tiny male mole is referred to as a boar, the female is a sow, and the term for a group of moles is a labour.

Perhaps the most famous opera singers in history, The Three Tenors consisted of Spaniards Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, and Italian Luciano Pavarotti. Even people who didn’t like opera music liked this group, who made their debut as a trio in July, 1990. The concert, held as a benefit for leukemia, (Carreras had been diagnosed with the disease three years earlier), was recorded and became the best-selling classical album of all time. Their second televised performance held at Dodger Stadium (for which each tenor received $1 million) attracted 1.3 billion viewers worldwide. On their first worldwide tour, each received about $1 million per concert, which included a percentage of merchandise sold. Before disbanding as a trio in 2003, they had performed 34 live concerts. • Founded in 1961, Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers were the most popular folk group of the 1960s. Their debut album, which included “If I Had a Hammers,” “Lemon Tree,” and “500 Miles” was an immediate hit. Peter, Paul, and Mary re-released a Bob Dylan tune in 1963, “Blowin’ in the Wind,” and sold 300,000 copies in less than two weeks. Yarrow composed “Puff, the Magic Dragon,” a tune the group recorded in 1963. The song has been shrouded in myths that it’s filled with drug references, but Yarrow actually based it on a poem about the lost innocence of childhood. The trio’s only #1 hit single, “Leavin’ on a Jet Plane,” came in 1969, a song written by their friend John Denver, who had initially recorded it in 1969. •

By Keith Roach, M. D,
BMI Not a Total Picture of Health DEAR DR. ROACH: About seven years ago, my blood pressure was high, and I was overweight and in a stressful job. I quit the job, my blood pressure went down, and I lost over 40 pounds. I have kept the weight off all these years. I work part time, standing on my feet about 25 hours a week. My doctor has been happy with me. At my last appointment, I was told my BMI is too high and that I am obese. Where did this “BMI” come from? I am 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weigh 194 pounds. I am a large-framed woman (I delivered 12-pound babies through NATURAL childbirth!). Now I feel like I should forget it and go back to eating what I want, when I want! -- P.S. ANSWER: BMI, the body mass index, is a way of determining obesity by standardizing weight for people of different heights. It is equal to weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) squared. BMI predicts the development of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and even overall mortality rates moderately well. It is certainly not a perfect measurement. Someone whose BMI is obese (over 30) might have very little body fat; he or she might be very muscular or have larger bones than another person of the same height. Some physicians measure waist circumference, since that looks at abdominal fat, and research shows that using both measurements gives a more complete picture of health. Personally, I congratulate you for getting and keeping off 40 pounds, and think you made a wise investment in your health by finding a less-stressful job. Your BMI is 31, just in the “obese” range. However, women of your BMI but whose waist circumference is less than 31.5 inches (80cm) have a much lower risk of medical complications later. By the way, having babies that large does indicate an increased risk for Type 2 diabetes later in life. Your doctor hopefully is checking you periodically. Getting regular exercise and eating a good diet reduces your risk for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, so please don’t get frustrated by this single, incomplete measure of your health. DEAR DR. ROACH: Last night I washed my face with soap and water. I toweled dry and saw blood dripping from the side of my nose. I figured I must have scrubbed too hard and opened a pore. This pore bled and bled for over an hour before I used styptic powder. That stopped the bleeding instantly. Now I’m afraid to wash that area, as it may start bleeding again. I’m 61. I don’t take any medication except a baby aspirin every night, and Aleve when my arthritis kicks up. Is this common? -- J.R. ANSWER: No, that isn’t common. It makes me concerned that the pore you think is bleeding actually may be a subtle or early skin condition predisposed to bleeding. The ones I am most concerned about are basal cell and squamous cell cancers. See a dermatologist and get it examined. Aspirin and naproxen (Aleve) do make bleeding more likely, but I still think you should get it looked at. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med. cornell.edu.

It’s OK to Win How many of you parents work hard all week only to watch your kid get yelled at by some borderline psychopath coach on the weekends? Why do we all stand there on one side of the field -- that we all pay to seed and mow, by the way -- watching somebody on the other side yell out their life’s frustrations? One day, I was watching a coach melt down, and I surveyed the parents on the sideline. There were lots of quality individuals watching the game in my estimate. Many of them drove Bavarian-styled cars, and you could tell they followed the maintenance guidelines. We easily outnumbered the maniacal person yelling at our kids by a factor of hundreds, but we did nothing. “Are you seeing this?” I remember asking one parent. He had a cowboy hat on. Seemed like a stand-up guy. Without even looking at me, he nodded. “Yup.” “I don’t understand this. When do we foment an uprising? We have nice rims on our cars ... we don’t need to take this.” “We also don’t have to coach,” he replied. Good point. We decide it’s a teaching moment for the kids: Don’t be that guy. The other day I was watching my nephew play flag football. It’s a tie score and there are parents telling their kids to “ease up on the throttle.” They drive Porsches and Audis that go zero to 60 mph in 5 seconds flat that they got by being ruthless adversaries in the business world all week, but now we have to stand around and root for a tie on a freezing weekend morning in January? I look at my sister as the “teaching moment” starts getting bandied about by the coach. He’s a nice guy. “You know what they say about ties?” I ask her. “No. What?” “It’s like kissing your sister.” She springs into action, cuts out the middleman and motions for her quarterback son to come over. “He’s been open all game on the right. They can’t defend him. End this.” Two seconds later he throws a strike, does a little dance, the game concludes and we apologize to the coach. “We have seat warmers,” we explain. We think it over and backtrack a bit on the drive home. We clarify to her son that winning at all costs isn’t the way to go ... that you don’t want to show up your opponents, be a good sport. And we explain that sports don’t have to be a chore. But it is OK to win. It’s more fun, and you don’t have to apologize for it if you do it the right way.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com Mini ‘Kickoff Pizzas’ for Super Bowl Eats
Looking for some good eats to serve at your Super Bowl XLIX gathering? Here’s a winner. Everyone on your home team will have a ball making these mini Kick-off Pizzas. The fresh and colorful appetizers will delight the crowd, since each person customizes their own with a combination of toppings they love. Before guests arrive, set out the pizzamaking ingredients assembly-line style on a kitchen table or counter. Basics include a fresh baguette sliced into about 30 1/2-inch slices set in a basket, a bowl full of jarred marinara or pizza sauce, and mounds of shredded cheeses, such as mozzarella and cheddar. Next, arrange a variety of yummy toppings in small bowls. Crowd-pleasing toppings include pepperoni slices, cooked sausage, bacon bits, chopped scallions, cut-up veggies and bell peppers. Expand the options with capers, sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions, a cooked sweet potato cut into cubes, sliced Roma tomatoes and olives. Or, think fruit with sliced pears, apples, pineapple or figs, and greens like fresh chopped spinach, kale and arugula. When it’s time to assemble the Kick-off Pizzas, invite each person to spoon the sauce generously on one side of several baguette slices. Top them according to individual tastes. This is the time for an adult to heat the broiler with a rack set about 4 inches from the heat. Once assembled, the pizza-makers can set them in a row on a baking sheet. (Five rows fit on a standard baking sheet.) To identify your own row when the pizzas come out of the oven, expand on the football theme and imagine each row as a yard line on the playing field. The middle row could be the 50-yard line, the end zones along the narrow sides of the pan and 20 yard lines in between. Put the pan under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes or until edges of the bread are brown and cheese is bubbly. Remove from oven and serve warm from the sidelines. Cook’s tip: To shorten prep time on game day, shred cheese, chop toppings and caramelize onions the night before. Store in covered containers and refrigerate. *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

Welcome to Goose Tips!
Before we start talking about caramel and popcorn and sprinkles, and Chocolate Covered Caramel Popcorn Balls, I have to tell you that I burned the caramel. Yes, I did. I looked away for a second or two and bam! Burnt! I was so upset with myself and not because I burned it, but more because I caused myself more dishes:( I was so frustrated, I didn’t even bother to make another batch. I went straight for the Brach’s caramel candies that were sitting in my pantry. I unwrapped them one by one, mixed in some butter, and there it was, Caramel on the fly! So you’d think that a 3 year old would be the most excited about eating these fun treats. No, Ruby was more excited about dipping the balls into the chocolate and sprinkles and packaging them for her friends. We are bagging these treats and printed cards that say “you make my heart POP” for an easy DIY Valentine for Ruby’s classmates. CHOCOLATE COVERED CARAMEL POPCORN BALLS Serves: 10 Popcorn balls Ingredients: 14 cups popped plain popcorn 1 (14 oz.) package Caramel Candies, unwrapped 4 tablespoons butter 10 popsicle sticks 1 (12 oz.) package semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted Sprinkles Pop the popcorn, place the popped popcorn in a large bowl. Set aside. Put the unwrapped caramel candies and butter in a medium-sized saucepan; cook over medium-low heat and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and pour over popcorn. Mix until all the popcorn is well coated. Let stand for a couple of minutes to cool. In the meantime prepare your chocolate chips by melting them either in the microwave or over a double broiler. Melt until smooth. Grease your hands with butter and shape the popcorn balls into the size of a softball. Stick a popsicle stick in each popcorn ball and dip into melted chocolate, then roll in sprinkles. Place on waxed paper until chocolate is set. When you decide to dine out, gather around our table at the Goose. Remember every Friday is Wild Game night. Each week we’re serving a different Wild Game. Find the Game Calendar, our Monthly Specials and the whole menu at woundedgoose.com The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but our food doesn’t!

The news coming out of Maine was beyond sad: An elderly woman was found dead in her home, and she’d been dead for two years. Getting beyond the shock of that is difficult. We ask: How could something like that happen? How could no one notice the disappearance of another human being, a neighbor? When the former teacher first moved to her rural property she’d been friendly with others, but later she became reclusive. Because being alone seemed to be her preference, neighbors didn’t bother her. The police had been called a few times to do a wellness check, but when the door wasn’t answered, they were unable to press the issue. Eventually, because taxes went unpaid and foreclosure was imminent, the police did break in and discovered the woman. How many of us heard this story on the news and said, “That could be me”? How many of us, because we don’t have nearby family or friends who are still living, could be in that same situation? We need to explore our resources now, before it’s too late, and set up a system whereby we won’t be left unnoticed for long periods of time, even as we guard our privacy. The best way to ensure senior safety is with a phone-in program, where seniors are called every morning or have to call in to say they’re OK. It’s available in many localities. For very private people, this non-intrusive program can be a lifesaver. If no one answers the phone, a contact or the police will be called. Short of that, we can arrange with a neighbor that we’ll open a certain window curtain every morning. Or we’ll swap phone calls. Or we’ll collect the newspaper off the porch. Think about these things now, and put something into practice. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Tidbits® Full of Fun, Facts & Trivia! Slap in the Face For those who came by their service medals honestly, a recent federal appeals court ruling was a slap in the face. The court said you can wear medals you didn’t earn. It’s protected speech under the First Amendment. To keep from giving him even more press, I’ll call the central figure in the case ES, a threeyear veteran who enlisted after the Korean War. Forty years later he filed for PTSD benefits, saying he suffered because of the secret Korean
combat missions he went on. He claimed he had been injured and when visited in the hospital by a captain, had been given a pile of medals, among them a Purple Heart, Silver Star and Navy Commendation with V. The Department of Veterans Affairs denied the claim (a written narrative). ES then resubmitted and used a copy of a DD-214 that showed he had earned a bunch of medals and had been shot. Based on that, the VA gave him $2,366 in monthly benefits. In 2006, it was discovered that the copied DD-214 was a fake. ES is all over the court system. A review of documents has him testifying at the trial of a
740-688-8405 Your Mennonite Friends
man who offered him $10,000 to kill a judge. After all, ES was a trained killer, given all his medals. ES was investigated for wearing a Purple Heart at the trial and was convicted of violating the Stolen Valor Act (in force at the time), faking his injuries to get benefits, forging his DD-214 and more. He got 12 months. He later appealed, bringing us to today, where it’s OK to wear medals you didn’t earn because it’s protected speech. A fast Wiki-type search reveals that only one of the 11 judges in the appeals court ever served in the military. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
