David Brinkley: The daily astrological charts are precisely where, in my

  judgment, they belong, and that is on the comic page.

George Will:  I don't think astrology belongs even on the comic pages.

  The comics are making no truth claim.

Brinkley:  Where would you put it?

Will:  I wouldn't put it in the newspaper.  I think it's transparent rubbish.

  It's a reflection of an idea that we expelled from Western thought in the

  sixteenth century, that we are in the center of a caring universe.  We are

  not the center of the universe, and it doesn't care.  The star's alignment

  at the time of our birth -- that is absolute rubbish.  It is not funny to

  have it intruded among people who have nuclear weapons.

Sam Donaldson:  This isn't something new.  Governor Ronald Reagan was sworn

  in just after midnight in his first term in Sacramento because the stars

  said it was a propitious time.

Will:  They [horoscopes] are utter crashing banalities.  They could apply to

  anyone and anything.

Brinkley:  When is the exact moment [of birth]?  I don't think the nurse is

  standing there with a stopwatch and a notepad.

Donaldson:  If we're making decisions based on the stars -- that's a cockamamie

  thing.  People want to know.

"I don't know what their

 gripe is.  A critic is

 simply someone paid to

 render opinions glibly."

                 "Critics are grinks and

"Ah, you know the type.     They like to blame it all on the Jews or the Blacks,

'cause if they couldn't, they'd have to wake up to the fact that life's one big,

scary, glorious, complex and ultimately unfathomable crapshoot -- and the only

reason THEY can't seem to keep up is they're a bunch of misfits and losers."

The reported resort to astrology in the White House has occasioned much

merriment.  It is not funny.  Astrological gibberish, which means astrology

generally, has no place in a newspaper, let alone government.  Unlike comics,

which are part of a newspaper's harmless pleasure and make no truth claims,

astrology is a fraud.  The idea that it gets a hearing in government is

dismaying.

"It's no sweat, Henry.  Russ made it back to Bugtown before he died.  So he'll
