dear Readers:

earlier today on this list, I read that Haiti's P.M. offered early retirement 
to five out of ten "Supreme" Court judges, well, because it was time for them 
to go anyway -- presumably they'll get pensions -- and now per item 26831, I 
read that he's fired five more from another court also known as "Supreme" -- 
presumably these won't get their pensions -- and per item 26932 I learned that 
he's also fired five of ten from a third court also known as "Supreme."  if we 
left it to professional journalists such as wrote these articles, Haiti would 
have more "Supremes" than Diana Ross ever dreamed of.  I was always under the 
impression that Haiti needed more judges, not fewer, and right now they're 
probably thinking it's Prime Ministers Haiti needs less of.

thank you,

Stuart Leiderman
