Among the suspects sought by the Austrian police: Greek zealots who might be acting in retaliation for the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, Armenians who might be taking belated revenge for the 1915 massacre of their countrymen in Turkey, and opium smugglers who believed they had been betrayed to the Austrian police by the Turkish authorities.

The unjustifiable gap on the faculty between the overwhelming numbers of welfare-state liberals and barely existent Chicago conservatives should be reduced by the hiring of several legitimate Chicagoans.
