  I don't suppose that anyone remembers Mondale's congratulating
the Phillipine government for an "excellent example to show that
democracy can work in smaller nations."  When this quote was reported,
I was in the Phillipines, where I had been asked by the Minister of
Telecommunications for a stereo equalizer in exchange for a ham radio
license.  The entire American community there laughed out loud, as
did many of the Filipinos.  But it was more appropriate to cry.
   Somehow I am reminded of Emperor Maximillian of Mexico....
