In the News today

The Sacramento Bee juxtaposed to stories today, perhaps accidentally, regarding
hoaxes.  In one case, a young man who wanted to publicize his run for supervisor in
San Francisco faked his own beheading.  I understand that the authorities want to
punish him as severely as possible.

In the other story, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger conspired to put off the
retreat from Saigon until after the 1972 election.  Countless people died from the
delay, yet Richard Nixon was rewarded with his reelection and Kissinger remains an
unindicted or criminal and successful pundit.
