ElM, as you know there are warnings to not go to many countries. In 1974 in London, the IRA was bombing and we were warned not to go there, but life is probabilistic event and if one adopted a fear of anything attitude, one would lead a very circumscribed life. In 1974, we drove around Portugal during the revolution, hearing some gunfire, but nobody was bothering with a couple of tourists - it was just about political power. While driving from Greece to Turkey we were in the midst of conflict over Cyprus I wondered why tanks were hiding under haystacks - Sezgin Burak in Istanbul told us when we met him next day that they were pretty well at war with Greece. That explained the dense military activity. In London, the IRA was regularly exploding bombs and on my way to work there would be another bombed building I'd go past. People on the tube were keeping a close eye on fellow passengers and any unattended briefcases would have got people running. Blaming Stan Shaw for being decapitated, or blaming the security forces for trying to rescue him is silly. Mqurice
