What I find most ironic is that Rep. McDonald is the chairman (president?) of the John Birch Society. I can't wait to hear the members of that (and allied organizations) claiming that the Soviets shot the plane down because McDonald was on board and he was wise to their plans. Etc. Readers should note that this is not the first time the Soviets have shot down a Korean airlines plane with passengers aboard. It should also be noted that the Republic of South Korea and the CCCP do not have diplomatic relations. -- The padded cell of Gene Spafford CSNet: Spaf @ GATech ARPA: Spaf.GATech @ UDel-Relay uucp: ...!{sb1,allegra,ut-ngp}!gatech!spaf ...!duke!mcnc!msdc!gatech!spaf
