I just missed being a hostage when the Hanafi Muslims took over the D.C
B'nai B'rith and a D.C. government building back in the '70s. I was
scheduled for a job interview there about a half-hour before they were
attacked, but had to reschedule the previous afternoon because of a
conflict. When I did the interview about a week later, the person doing
the interview was still in bandages from wounds he got during the takeover.
Too bad I didn't get the job. They had some pretty interesting Burroughs
main frames, and I would have gotten all the Jewish holidays as well as all
the usual ones...
