On a personal note, my mother's cousin, who is now in his 90s, was an army doctor who ran hospitals in Asia and a personal fried of Eisenhower's son. Perhaps for this reason, he was part of a committee to decide whether to drop an atomic bomb on N. Korea. The reason the army refrained from doing so was a fear that the prevailing winds would deposit the radiation on the U.S. troops. I might mention that I find it preposterous that S. Korea could be held up as having anything to do with democracy. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 916-898-5321 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
