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 Independence Ave., SE, Washington DC 20003. Reprinted by permission.] 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. --Don Black

Mr. Black, > It does my heart well to see innocent > 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.
