    Mike,
           During the Polish uprising during the Reagan years we supplied mostly
    communications equipment and also some guns.
           They say the communications equipment was what did the trick. The
    role of the guns seems to have been to slow down the police raids.
           BTW, did you watch Peter Jennings last night -- snatching defeat from
    the jaws of victory is the phrase that comes to mind. Give him credit he was
    trying hard.
