The police forces?) importance. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Austin Franklin Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2003 3:53 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] FS: Special Anti-War Protest edition Leica M7 B.D., > Oh come on, Austin - having spent covered literally every major > Vietnam protest in Washington, D.C., from the spring of 1967 to the > end of the war, and having covered every annual anti-abortion march in > D.C. from 1970 to 1979, I would suggest that it's preposterous to > suggest that the cops inflate the numbers - for "job security" or any > other reason.
