This provides further support for an important legal principle: that it should be illegal under any circumstances for a Death Squad to kill an American. I am enough of a liberal to support the extension of this principle even to Canadians, Australians, Japanese and Western Europeans. ucbvax!brahms!gsmith Gene Ward Smith/UCB Math Dept/Berkeley CA 94720 ucbvax!weyl!gsmith "When Ubizmo talks, people listen."
