Martyrs for Education
31 July 2007, 4:44 PM
With the Iraq war making all the headlines, it's easy to miss what's going
on in Afghanistan as the Taliban try to re-establish themselves. Women
and girls are constant targets. This one puts the situation in very dry and remote language: Attacks
against Afghan schools continue to disrupt education - UN This one really gets you in the gut: Schoolgirls
in the gunsights of the Taliban
RIP Marvin Zindler
31 July 2007, 10:39 AM
Marvin Zindler has passed away. Unless you're from Houston, or you were aware of the true story behind the Broadway musical "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" you may have no idea who I'm talking about. If you are from Houston, you know what an icon he was. He was such a constant on Houston television while I was growing up that he falls into the category of Mr. Rodgers and Captain Kangaroo. Check out the remembrances on ABC 13, KTRK's web site. I can still here him signing off: "Marvin Zindler..... Eyewitness News!" We'll miss ya, Marvin.
