Chinatown Heralds Harry LowBy Julie D. SooThe Chinese Six Companies and the Fa Yuen Association last month played co-hosts to a crowd of some 600 politicos — past and present candidates, jurists, and community leaders and members. They gathered to fete California Insurance Commissioner Harry Low, whom former Secretary of State March Fong Eu declared “a clean politician.” Among family, colleagues and friends, Low continues to be hailed as a man of integrity, a tireless, compassionate leader in the community for over 45 years. Those in attendance are urging him to run for office in 2002 to keep his current office. |

Here’s the burning question of the week: What do we mean when we say “chink?” If you’re offended, curious, or otherwise intrigued by the word, then read on. I’ll be using it several times in this column, not as a “fighting word,” but as a matter of reporting, and free speech. I certainly won’t be calling it the “C” word. The issue arises because I happened to open up an e-mail sent to me by activists concerning the urgent matter of the Idaho Geographic Names Advisory Council. Also known by the acronym IGNAC, the council has decided that a mountain near Pocatello, Idaho, should keep its current name, Chinks Peak. Letters to the Editor:
