Not the Braves' fault if the Dodgers' front office can't field a
winning team in the midst of the stupidest bargaining frenzies in pro
baseball history.

> 2.) Aerospace

Only Californians would be stupid enough to insert term limitations on
their elected Federal officials.  Contrast this with the "in-once-in-
for-life" attitude evinced by Southerners.  Aerospace is highly
political, as so much of the noncommercial business is doled out for
political, not technical considerations -- will it create jobs in MY
state/district?

> 3.) Jane Fonda

And they can have her.  "Hanoi Jane" would be just plain-Jane annoying
if it weren't that she also so thoroughly stupid.

> 4.) MGM studios

Currently owned by an Italian -- in hock to the huge French bank,
Credit Lyonnaise.  Ownership is unclear.

Perhaps you're mistaking Turner Broadcasting's ownership of the old
MGM film library for ownership of MGM.  They are, after all, different
things.

Actually, I've been looking forward to the 1996 Olympics; I've never
been to Atlanta, but have always wanted to go.  The Olympics will give
me a good excuse.
