| Update: Library Has 10 Copies of "Water for Elephants"
Librarian Bette Ammon e-mailed a few minutes ago to say that "Water the Elephants," the first selection for the new Huckleberries Online Book Club, arrived at the library Friday. They'll be available this evening. Three are reserved, including one by me. Seven others will be available. The library's open now, if you want to reserve a copy. Bette's also preparing some guidelines to help us get started on this adventure. P.S., I just finished reading Slavomir Raciwz "The Long Walk" and recommend it highly. It's a true story about 7 desperate prisoners who break out of a Communist prison in Siberia at the outbreak of World War II, in the dead of winter, and succeed in walking all the way to India, through the Gobi Desert and over the Himalayas. Easy read. Incredible story about man's desire to be free.

MOSCOW, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- It would be odd for Russia to be seriously worried about a higher level of military threat after NATO admitted Poland, Bulgaria, Romania and the three Baltic countries of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia as member nations. But not everyone can afford to follow this logic -- military experts, diplomats and lawyers have to be guided by military balance figures and contractual provisions until they receive other signals or documents from political leaders.
