Hello Dave,

 DD> 14 July 1921 - ITALIAN ANARCHISTS FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER: The robbery of
 DD> a Massachusetts shoe company resulted in the shooting death of two
 DD> employees, and two Italian-born anarchists are now found guilty of the
 DD> murders. Despite much controversy over the trial, and a growing belief
 DD> in their innocence, Sacco and Vanzetti will be executed six years later.

Who killa da chief? That was the cry in New Orleans after brought
vigilante justice to the city. A statue was later erected in their
honor.

 DD> But the case against them was hardly clear-cut; much of the evidence was
 DD> circumstantial at best. As the story of these two possibly wrongfully
 DD> convicted men spread, many of the world's most powerful and respected
 DD> thinkers joined in the cause celebres to protest their conviction.

Respected thinkers. As if those "respected thinkers" had any real
say in the matter.

 DD> 1. ALBERT EINSTEIN, 2. JOHN DOS PASSOS, 3. DOROTHY PARKER, 4. GEORGE
 DD> BERNARD SHAW, 5. H.G. WELLS, 6. BENITO MUSSOLINI, 7. EDNA ST. VINCENT
 DD> MILLAY, 8. UPTON SINCLAIR, 9. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, 10. MICHAEL DUKAKIS

See there? Il Duce was right. Also FDR's wife.

For Life,
Lee
