	More precisely, I said that the US has several world class
	research institutions and I doubt that the same can be said
	of Canada.  Except for minor anecdotal comments I never   
	mentioned other countries university systems, and any 
	conclusions you drew in this regard were almost certainly
	based on inference as opposed to induction.

	Just to play devils advocate, who invented napalm and under
	what circumstances  ???
