     From the pages of The Spotlight, 23 September 1985:

		     "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.  German-Canadians are asking the
		Canadian government to consider compelling broadcasters
		to consult with them before presenting movies, current
		affairs programs, or 'documentaries' that concern them. 
		According to Bruno Dyck, spokesman for the Manitoba branch
		of the German-Canadian Congress:  'Four decades after World
		War II, we are still impugned with war crimes we had nothing 
		to do with.'  The German-Canadians are incensed with continuous 
		showings of broadcasts that deal with the alleged extermin-
		ationist policies of the German government during World
		War II."  [Copyright 1985, Cordite Fidelity Corp., 300

     It does my heart well to see innocent victims fight back.  

     And from the same source (with the same copyright notice), an
obituary:

		     "Tcherim Soobzokov, mortally injured in a bomb blast at
		his home in Paterson, New Jersey, died recently.  Soobzokov,
		from Circassia, which is now in the Soviet Union, was accused
		of having been a 'Nazi war criminal' by the US Justice 
		Department but was cleared of the charges.  The bomb was rigged
		to Soobzokov's front door, to which he was lured during the 
		middle of the night by a previous bomb detonation in his car,
		which was parked out front.  The local police department and
		the FBI are conducting an investigation to determine who was
		responsible for the attack.  Soobzokov had been the victim
		of numerous death threats."

     If They want you, They get you one way or the other.  Absolutely no 
opposition can be tolerated.  

     I don't understand....A hand grenade goes off in some backwater Israeli
village, rearranges a little sand, and it makes banner headlines in all the
US newspapers.  Not to mention a five-minute special segment on the NBC
Nightly News, and a 20/20 investigation.  But when an anti-Communist is 
assassinated in Paterson, New Jersey, it barely makes the obit column.

     The problem is, maybe I DO understand.

Mr. Black,

> victims fight back.

Perhaps it did your alleged heart GOOD,
but it most assuredly did not do said
organ WELL.  If you are going to
parade your facist ideas on the network,
fine, but check your grammar, please.
