Netters:         It was Santayana, I believe, who said "Those do do not read history are condemned to repeat it."           A hundred years ago or so, athletes decided to run their own show in amateur track. The experiment didn't last very long and collapsed in a welter of the problems of that day: riingers, for example.           Much as they may sometimes seem to be over-officious, dictatorial, etc. governing bodies are necessary. The request of the Kenyan Federation did not seem to me to be that unreasonable.                                                               Ed Grant
