Hi Bill, Gary:

>Any one out there?...

Must be a sale at Jordon's Basement!  :-)

But, I've been manning the teletype machines for the latest news and the
bell just went off.
 
All this stuff on the Bill Clinton debacle has sort of steered our

happening.


Today was this:

This is pretty serious stuff - and a major problem when a U.S. embassy
has to get out of town all together.   Maybe the networks will carry
this story tomorrow night.
