The way *I* heard it, Massachusetts had petitioned to become a Soviet Republic,
with some other rumors floating around that the present Governor was insisting
he be allowed to adopt the title "President" under the new government he would
form.

I'm so relieved to find out that these allegations, reasonable though they
seemed to me at the time, are wholely unfounded. Now we won't have to redesign
the flag yet again.
