Flannery made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: Marion Morrison wore one in the movie "The Green Berets", as you point out. Of course, this guy wore one also: http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9710/17/cuba.che/che.large.jpg You have to admit that Che had the revolutionary look nailed 100%; Yes, to the point that it's become chic for clueless college kids to worship a brutal thug that they know nothing about. |

Carter, 1980. http://www.fas.org/man/crs/92-094.htm "After having been suspended in 1951, MFN status was restored to China in 1980 conditionally under the Jackson-Vanik freedom-of-emigration amendment of the Trade Act of 1974 and must be renewed annually." "In accordance with this procedure, the President, on October 23, 1979, transmitted to Congress the trade agreement with China, signed on July 7, 1979, its proclamation, and the executive order extending to China the Jackson-Vanik waiver (H.Doc. 96-209). The agreement was approved by Congress on January 24, 1980 (H.Con.Res. 204, 96th Congress) and entered into force (together with the reciprocal grant of the MFN status which it contains in addition to all other provisions required by section 405(b) of the Trade Act of 1974) on February 1, 1980." -- JRF Reply-to address spam-proofed - to reply by E-mail, check "Organization" (I am not assimilated) and think one step ahead of IBM. |

The SS rank was bestowed on him by Himmler, probably in a bid to gain more influence over the V-2 project. WvB appears to have been embarrassed about it, and reportedly never wore the uniform. But one did not refuse an honor offered by Himmler... -- "Think outside the box -- the box isn't our friend." | Henry Spencer -- George Herbert | |
