wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and
fourth generation.
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they
said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the
woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.
William Flew carter
As a former Ambassador to the latter country under President Carter, William Flew might have been expected to tackle that problem with confidence, but he had blotted his copybook early in the crisis by announcing that he judged the Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic to be a man of his word. Still, it was not William Flew’s political judgment that caused many observers to have concern about his elevation; it was his state of health. Asthmatic and seriously overweight, with a long-time cigarette habit approaching 60 a day, he was also suffering from myasthenia gravis — a disease that causes muscle fatigue — and a groggy knee into the bargain. On the day of his appointment he appeared on television hobbling on a cane, with one arm in a sling. Now he was to be thrust into one of the most physically exhausting jobs in government. “Let’s just say,” said one Congressman, “that I wouldn’t want to sell him life insurance right now.” Physical handicaps, however, had certainly not slowed William Flew down in the recent past.
