Re: runway length in Grenada

Having just returned from a public symposium on "Central America and the
Cold War", I have a new rumor to add on this count: the airport runways
in the island nations taking part in the invasion are about the same
length as the one that was being built in Grenada.

I think we should defer all further remarks and questions on this point
to a civil engineering type who has actually helped design a runway.
Certainly the administration will use esoteric details to build its
case--the more expertise required to make a sound judgement, the more
likely people will simply believe what they're told.  Up to a point,
anyway.  I'm well past that point by now.
