Jordan?  Is that you, Jordan??  Yah, I remember
the story (not very clearly) wasn't it something
about the Visigoths??  Wait, it's coming back to
me; they wanted to buy the island as a sort of
resort but Mike or Morley got the impression that
it would also have some military purposes too.
The whole deal was pretty screwy, finance, usage,
etc. and the islanders did decide to back off.
As i recall the story they (read Visigoths) weren't
too thrilled with 60 minutes investigation.  The odd
thing is I don't remember the Visigoths making any
reply/rebuttal.  They just waited for the hullabaloo
to die down.

Anyways, I seriously doubt that Reagan sent the Marines
in there to set up Grenada for the Visigoths.  I personally
think the man is a little wierd to belong to this sort of
club but nobody could be wierd enough to use the power
of the presidency to set up a "lead-lined" island for
his club's use.  Unless of course, you were joking?!?!
