   Except, of course, when the US Coast Guard decides to collar Canadian
   fishing boats along the Alaska/B.C. border. Not because they've
   strayed over the line, not because they dispute the geographic marks
   defining the border, but because they say that the treaty (~1905)
   is "wrong" and the border "should" be farther south.

I really haven't thought about it too much, and will have to wait and
see what governments, commentators, organizations, individuals do next
before I decide who it's 'good for' and who it's 'bad for.'

I don't know any details, but if the plane was a civilian plane, and if 
civilians were killed, then I would consider this a tragic loss of life,
and would expect others to feel the same, whether they support Arafat,
or have wished him dead for years.

Actually, if you think about it, considering the size of his own personal 
income and the amount that he personally pays in income tax.  He probably
paid for it himself.  I don't know the size of the airport but if it is
the size of most of the small rural airports scattered throughout Texas,
the cost is peanuts compared to the tax breaks that most state governments
give to lure relocating industries.  This story of his own personal airport
seems a little far fetched.  I don't know where Perot lives but when I was
working in Gainesville, TX, the biggest economic event in the long history
of the town was the completion of the airport.  It cost a whopping $234,000
and would land c130 cargo planes.  Three new companies relocated to the area
as a result of this construction and added greatly to the declining tax base.
This areas only industries were mobile home manufacturing and oil field
equipment manufacturing.  When I was there the price of crude had dropped
to $13 a barrell and the severe unemployment threatened to bankrupt the city.
It may not make sense to folks crammed together like sardines in the northeast
but out in Texas even little towns like Gainesville with populations of under
10,000 need airports to transport manufactured goods.  They are so far away
from major urban areas that companies just won't come there unless they can
fly their executives into Houston or Dallas on the weekend to see a show.;-)

  As if having Brown and Clinton constantly beating up on each other
wasn't enough, word came today that Paul Tsongas is considering
re-entering the race (he's still on the ballot in New York).
  Of course, if Bush's people were really smart, they would have
found some way to secretly contribute a million bucks or so to the
Tsongas campaign two weeks ago, allowing Tsongas to win in
Connecticut, and probably in New York as well.

PLO officials report that Arafat and his assistants survived relatively
unscathed, but that three crew members were killed.  The occupants of the
plane are being flown to Tripoli for a meeting with Qaddafi.
