Must we really substitute for level-headed reasoning 
rumours on the streets of distant Léogane allied to the "analyses" 
of a paranoid politician and his newspaper?  But perhaps 
I'm wrong.  Maybe the CIA and Jesse Helms arranged for 
Hurricane Lenny to give Haiti a miss so their invasion plan 
could stay on track.  You never know in this computer age...
